Abstract
Summary Six hundred and sixty-seven fungal isolates, comprising 21 named species and four sterile mycelia, were isolated from six field-grown Thlaspi caerulescens J. & C. Presl (Brassicaceae). Nine of these were leaf endophytes, seven root endophytes, six from the rhizoplane and eight from the rhizosphere with some species occurring in more than one location. Of 18 species tested, 17 were able to solubilise zinc oxide and 10 zinc phosphate. When the growth of six of these isolates on zinc-amended media was compared, no evidence was found for adaptive tolerance to the metal amongst the species from the contaminated site.
