Summary, Etc.Nickel contamination is a serious environmental issue that requires immediate action. Microorganism such as fungi have been successfully used in the removal of toxic heavy metal ions in polluted environment, In this study,23 strains of Trichoderma were isolated from different terrestrial and marine substrata and identified using combined morphocultural and molecular methods. The identities of the fungi; strains were confirmed based on the gene sequence analysis of the ITS gene. The Trichoderma strains were also tested for their tolerance of heavy metals, and later for their biosorption of nickel. Our results (TSM) with 50 to 1,200 ppm of nickel (NiSO4). The highest radial growth was observed on TSM with nickel (NiSO4) at 50 ppm for three terrestrial and three marine strains for Trchoderma. More terrestrial strains(13) grew on this medium as compered to marine strains(8). Among the Fungal isolates, T. asperellum S03 isolated from soil exhibited the best growth after 2 days of incubation. For biosorption of nickel (NiSO4), the accumulation or uptake efficiency by selected 6 Trichoderma was determined in Potato Dextrose Broth supplemented with 50 ppm of nickel using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The percent uptake efficiency of three strains of Trichoderma asperellum (S03,S08 and LL14) was computed to be 20-66% while Trichoderma virens (SG18 and SF22) achieved efficiency. However, Trichoderma inhamatum (MW25) also achieved 68% uptake the supernatant and Trichoderma asperellum LL14 had 15.82% retained nickel (NiSO4) in the supernatant. The 6 Trichoderma strains were also observed under the scanning electron microscopy to check surface morphology of the biomass before and after exposure to nickel (NiSO4). Scanning electron microscopy revealed no damage on the surface morphology of the Trichoderma biomass. Thus, our study showed the potential of terrestrial marine strains of Trichoderma for the bioremediation of heavy metals
