In the solid medium the number of colonies was noteffected by all metals ions , except Ag ions'(25 and 50) mg/l which completely inhibited thecolonies numbers . In the liquid medium the effect of these metals on the growth was in thefollowing sequence Co , Ni . Ag , Cu and Pb respectively: 'Most elements studied: showed increase in- the ‘inhibition effect on the growth with Aincreasing the ions concentration in the medium , whilethe inhibition effect decreased with theincreasing periods of exposure
