Response of metallothionein concentrations in a freshwater bivalve (Anodonta grandis) along an environmental cadmium gradient
Surficial (oxic) sediments, overlying water, and specimens of the freshwater bivalve Anodonta grandis were collected by divers at 11 littoral lacustrine sites located along a geochemical gradient of pH, [Cd], Dl, and [Z n in an area influenced by mining and smelting activities. The molluscs were dissected (gills; 1 hepatopancreas; remaining tissues) and analyzed for Cd, Cu, Zn, and metallothion...
متن کاملCadmium Accumulation and Metallothionein Biosynthesis in Cadmium-Treated Freshwater Mussel Anodonta woodiana
This study investigated the distribution of cadmium (Cd) and the protein level of metallothionein (MT) and examined the relationship of Cd accumulation and the MT concentration in different tissues of freshwater mussel Anodonta woodiana following Cd treatment. The mussels were exposed to Cd (4.21, 8.43, 16.86, 33.72 and 67.45 mg L-1) for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h, respectively. After Cd treatment, th...
متن کاملModeling Cd partitioning in oxic lake sediments and Cd concentrations in the freshwater bivalve A nodonta grandis
Cadmium concentrations were measured at 49 littoral sites in 38 lakes distributed over 350,000 km2 in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, both in the abiotic environment (oxic sediments and overlying water, diagenetic iron oxyhydroxide deposits on Teflon collectors) and in the soft tissues of the freshwater bivalve Anodonta grandis collected along a Cd contamination gradient. Concentrations of...
متن کاملMorphological and chemical characterization of mineral concretions in the freshwater bivalve Anodonta cygnea (Unionidae).
The freshwater mussel Anodonta cygnea is commonly used as a model organism for biomineralization studies, its peculiar morphofunctional properties also make it an excellent environmental biomonitor. The first detailed on the calcareous concretions from gill and mantle tissue, as well as fluids of the freshwater bivalve A. cygnea, supported by histological, scanning, spectrometry, and spectrosco...
متن کاملStress response of a freshwater clam along an abiotic gradient: too much oxygen may limit distribution
1. Distribution and abundance patterns are influenced by cellular responses to abiotic stressors. 2. The freshwater clam Sphaerium sp. inhabits swamp/stream systems in Uganda, in which dissolved O 2 (DO), pH and water transparency form ecotonal gradients along tributary streams. Along a swamp/stream transect, clam abundance was negatively related to DO, pH and transparency; clams were most abun...
