Phytoremediation is an effective approach to control soil heavy metal pollution. This study isolated a fungus strain from soils contaminated by cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in Zhalong Wetland (China), which was identified as Simplicillium chinense QD10 via both genotypic and phenotypic analysis. The p...
