Abstract
The herbicide glyphosate was used as a selection agent for isolation o f fungal strains capable to degrade phosphorus-to-carbon bond from sta ndard sandy-clay soil. The studies have shown that the herbicide used in Martin medium as a sole source of phosphorus br carbon caused the d ecrease of the fungal population and substantially changed strain comp osition, thus selecting those which are able to degrade glyphosate.
