摘要
Possible agents for the decontamination and bioremediation of asbestos-polluted soils: selected soil fungi modify and bind asbestos fibers. The picture shows a single asbestos fiber in intimate contact with the hyphae of Fusarium oxysporum (the bar in the upper left corresponds to 20 μm). The fungi produce metal chelators which extract iron ions from the fibers.
