BACTERIAL GROWTH AND FUNGAL GENERA DISTRIBUTION IN SOIL AMENDED WITH SEWAGE SLUDGE CONTAINING CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, AND COPPER

ABSTRACTDecomposition of sewage sludge in soil is mediated by microbial populations. The facility with which the decomposition is carried out is influenced by several factors, one being the sludge's content of toxic metals. The objectives of this investigation were to determine the effects of three
