Abstract
The effect of herbicide glyphosate on the biomass production of four freshw ater fungi, Annulatascus velatisporus, Camposporium antennatum, Massarina s p, and Helicosporium griseum, isolated from submerged wood was investigated . At 500 mg l(-1), inhibition from herbicide ranged between 19 and 79%. At 50 mg l(-1), glyphosate stimulated the biomass production of C. antennatum and H. griseum by about 14%. The degree of inhibition varied among species.
