No. Strain or Community Sample Sources Detected Metabolites Comments Reference
1 Cunninghamella elegans Surroundings of sewage disposing outlet from agro-pesticide manufacturing in Owo, Nigeria O,O-dimethyl phosphonic ester, desmethyl dichlorvos, also known as 2,2-dichlorovinyl O-methylphosphate, and O,O,O-trimethyl phosphoric ester, also known as dichlorvos (2,2-dichlorovinyl-O,O-dimethyl phosphate) Cunninghamella elegans strain was the most dominant fungal strain in pesticide-polluted soil samples with 37 appearances in 50 samples (74% incidence), Talaromycesatro roseus had 33 appearances (66% incidence), Aspergillus oryzae had 32 appearances (64% incidence), Fusarium solani and Penicillium sp. both had 26 appearances (52% incidence).
