    Many standard processes of wastewater treatment use live microorganisms, which suggests limitations on a metal toxicity to the microorganism. The experiment consisted in adding mono elementary solutions of Cr (VI) and Zn (II) at different concentrations (0, 20, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 mg.L(-1)) to the growth mean, and to observe the influence of metals on mycelial and germinative growth of the Aspergillus niger fungus, by means of visual observation of the radial expansion of the mycelius and the germination of spores, followed by photograph registration. The results showed that the metabolism of the fungus was completely inhibited at concentrations above 500 mg Zn (II).L(-1) and 150 mg Cr (VI).L(-1). The ED(50) (concentration of active ingredient capable of inhibiting 50% of mycelial growth of the fungus) for both metal ions, under the studied conditions, is in the range between 100 and 150 mg.L(-1).

    PURPOSE: To determine the mycobiota of the healthy conjunctiva in diabetic individuals, according to diabetes type, age, sex, disease time, type of treatment, and stage of diabetic retinopathy of the individuals. To identify the anemophilus mycobiota in the sampling rooms. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 803 diabetics who reside in the urban area of São Paulo-SP/Brazil. Sabouraud's dextrose agar culture with chloramphenicol was used for primoisolation, and the key of De Hoog was used to identify filamentous fungi. RESULTS: Of the evaluated diabetics, 6.6% (53/803) presented type 1 diabetes and 93.4% (750/803) type 2. The positive cultures for fungi in the conjunctiva of diabetics was 4.2% (34/803), with 1.9% (1/53) in type 1 diabetics and 4.4% (33/740) in type 2 diabetics (p=0.720). With respect to the presence or not of isolated fungi, there was no statistically significant association regarding age (p=0.575), sex (p=0.517), disease time (p=0.633), type of treatment (p=0.422), and diabetic retinopathy stage (p=0.655) of the tested individuals. The identified fungi were all filamentous: Aspergillus spp. represented 59.5% (25/42) of isolations and 47.6% (20/42) of isolated species were Aspergillus niger. Growth of anemophilus fungi occurred in the air of the room and coincidences were observed between the isolated species from the air and those from the conjunctiva. CONCLUSIONS: Presence of mycobiota in healthy conjunctivas of diabetics was identified, with no significant association between the greater number of positive fungi isolations and the type of diabetes, age, sex, disease type, type of treatment, and stage of diabetic retinopathy. In the collection rooms, anemophilus mycobiota was identified.
