A cadmium(II)-resistant fungus, strain F2, isolated from blende soil was identified as Phoma sp. by morphological study and internal transcribed spacer sequencing. This strain could accumulate 280 mg of Cd(II)/g dry weight mycelium. In liquid medium containing 163.8 mg Cd(II)/L, 96% of Cd(II) was removed by the actively growing mycelium. In addition, both oven-dried and lyophilized mycelium could effectively adsorb Cd(II). There were removed 91% and 46.2% of Cd(II) from 51.6 mg Cd(II)/L solution by lyophilized biomass and oven-dried biomass respectively. Transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis showed the accumulation of Cd(II) in the mycelium cell walls. Our results demonstrated that Phoma sp. F2 was a hyperaccumulator for the removal of Cd(II) from contaminated soil and water.
