Abstract : Laboratory study was conducted to determine the nitrification of ammonium sulphate, via nitrite, to nitrate by Fusarium species grown under oligotrophic conditions. The addition of ammonium sulphate led to a marked increase in the concentration of nitrate, with a slight increase in nitrite, in most species. The maximum amount of nitrate was recorded in a medium inoculated with fungi of Fusarium solani (3.4 g / ml) and Fusarium oxysporum (2.3 g / ml). These species exhibited the largest content of protein. Fusarium ciliatum (0.7 g / ml) reached the lowest amount of protein production when grown under oligotrophic conditions., Laboratory study was conducted to determine the nitrification of ammonium sulphate, via nitrite, to nitrate by Fusarium species grown under oligotrophic conditions.
