Molecular mechanisms of resistance to heavy metals in the protist Euglena gracilis
J Environ Sci Health A Tox Hazard Subst Environ Eng.
2007 Aug.
Abstract
The biochemical mechanisms of resistance to several heavy metals, which are associated with their accumulation (binding by high-affinity chelating molecules such as thiol-compounds together with their compartmentalization into organelles), are analyzed for the photosynthetic, free-living protist Euglena gracilis. The complete understanding of these mechanisms may facilitate the rational design of strategies for bioremediation of heavy metal polluted water and soil systems.
