Rapid assay for the analysis of class III metallothioneins by capillary zone electrophoresis in crude extracts of microalgal cells exposed to cadmium
(Elsevier, 1997-07-18)
An optimization strategy for the separation and analysis of class III metallothioneins from a complex matrix by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is presented and illustrated. Metallothioneins are a group of polypeptides ...
Sorption isotherm studies of Cd(II) ions using living cells of the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica (Kylin) Butch
(2010-10)
[Abstract]The present work reports the use of living cells of the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica for the biosorption of cadmium ions. For a better understanding of the biosorption characteristics, three fractions of ...
Cadmium toxicity on the freshwater microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii Gerloff: Biosynthesis of thiol compounds
(SETAC-Press (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry), 2010-09)
Cadmium (Cd) toxicity and production of different thiols (phytochelatins, glutathione, γ-Glu-Cys and cysteine) were studied in the microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii exposed to different concentrations of this metal (1, 2, ...
Effect of cadmium on growth, ATP content, carbon fixation and ultrastructure in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum Tricornutum Bohlin
(Springer, 2000-01)
Cadmium toxicity to the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin has been studied on the basis of the effect of this metal on growth, ATP content, 14C uptake and cellular ultrastructure. The microalga was exposed to 1, 5, ...
Long-chain class III metallothioneins as a mechanism of cadmium tolerance in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin
(1997-11)
Cadmium tolerance of the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin was studied. P. tricornutum growth was significantly reduced by cadmium concentrations of 5 mg l−1 or higher. The EC50 value was 22.39 mg l−1 of cadmium ...
Removal of cadmium ions by the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin accumulation and long-term kinetics of uptake
(Elsevier, 1998-03)
The marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin was exposed to different cadmium concentrations (1–100 mg l−1) for 4 days. The amount of cadmium removed was recorded, with particular attention paid to long-term uptake ...
Isotherm studies for the determination of Cd(II) ions removal capacity in living biomass of a microalga with high tolerance to cadmium toxicity.
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014)
The biosorption characteristics of Cd(II) ions using the living biomass of the
marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum were investigated. This microalga is a
highly tolerant species to cadmium toxicity, for this reason ...
Sulphate, more than a nutrient, protects the microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii from cadmium toxicity
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
Sulphur is an essential macroelement that plays important roles in living organisms. The thiol rich sulphur compounds, such as cysteine, γ-Glu–Cys, glutathione and phytochelatins participate in the tolerance mechanisms ...
Class III metallothioneins in response to cadmium toxicity in the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica (Kylin) Butch
(Wiley, 2001-09)
Microalgae are one of the most important organisms in our ecosystems being seriously affected by metal pollution. However, the microalgae Tetraselmis suecica (Kylin) Butch is tolerant to cadmium; the concentration of this ...
Composition and production of thiol constituents induced by cadmium in the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica
(Wiley, 2006-01)
Time course of intracellular levels of different thiols (phytochelatins, desglycyl-phytochelatins, glutathione, γ-glutamylcysteine [γ-Glu-Cys], and cysteine) were studied in the microalga Tetraselmis suecica exposed to ...
