tolerance to mercury chloride in scenedesmus strains. | mercury chloride toxicity was investigated in two strains of chlorella and in a strain of scenedesmus isolated from polluted areas in tuscany (italy). no hg resistance was found in the autotrophic microorganisms isolated, but scenedesmus sp. strain ar-2489, isolated from the arno river, was able to grow at concentrations of up to 5 micrograms ml-1 of hg. this concentration was twice that which inhibited growth of the two chlorella strains and scenedesmus acutus 8m, the reference strain from a cu ... | 1997 | 9210291 |
