Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions of chromium with microorganisms and plants
Carlos Cervantes,Jesús Campos-García,Silvia Devars,Félix Gutiérrez-Corona,Herminia Loza-Tavera,Juan Carlos Torres-Guzmán,Rafael Moreno-Sánchez +6 more
TL;DR: The interactions of bacteria, algae, fungi and plants with Cr and its compounds are summarized and proposed as potential biotechnological tools for the bioremediation of Cr pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium accumulation in the chloroplast of Euglena gracilis.
TL;DR: The data suggested that Cd was compartmentalized into chloroplasts in a process that may involve the transport of free Cd and the participation of thiol-peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury uptake and removal by Euglena gracilis.
TL;DR: Volatilization of mercury by Euglena gracilis appeared not to be an effective mechanism of resistance, whereas a high intracellular level of glutathione and a low mercury uptake seemed necessary for successful tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Heavy Metal Tolerance in Two Strains of Photosynthetic Euglena gracilis by Preexposure to Mercury or Cadmium
TL;DR: The fact that Z-strain cells showed a greater Cd2+ uptake under all the conditions assayed suggests that Z strain would be more suitable for bioremediation of polluted waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of control of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria oxidizing NAD-linked substrates.
TL;DR: Applying the summation theorem of the control analysis, it was found that at low Ca2+ and pyruvate concentrations the dehydrogenases shared the control of state 3 respiration with other steps, and the NAD-linked dehydrogenase did not exert any significant control at high Ca2+.
