چکیده

As capacidades de ligação de prótons e metais por células vivas da microalga Tetraselmis gracilis foram estudadas por titulação potenciométrica e voltametria de redissolução anódica, respectivamente. A ligação de Cd(II) e Zn(II) foi estudada em água do mar (pH 8,2) por adições de soluções dos cátions metálicos em soluções simples ou misturas binárias. O cálculo das concentrações dos metais considerou o agregado célula-metal tendo difusão lenta. As capacidades de adsorção e constantes de equilíbrio condicionais foram 2,9 ± 0,3 mmol g e 6,9 ± 0,3 L g para Cd(II) e 18,5 ± 0,9 mmol g e 8,8 ± 0,2 L g para Zn(II), respectivamente. Nas titulações com misturas binárias, as capacidades de adsorção diminuíram para 0,14 ± 0,01 e 15,9 ± 1,1 mmol g de Cd(II) e Zn(II), respectivamente, sugerindo que a ligação de Zn(II) inibe a de Cd(II). Em baixas concentrações de Zn(II), a superfície da alga liga-se a Cd(II), o que pode causar bioacumulação.

Sorption isotherm studies of Cd(II) ions using living cells of the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica (Kylin) Butch.

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 removed cadmium (total, bioadsorbed and intracellular) were measured in the cells after 24 and 72 h of exposure to different initial cadmium concentrations (0.6-45 mg L(-1)). Both the L...

Class III metallothioneins in response to cadmium toxicity in the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica (Kylin) Butch.

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 metal that reduces the population growth to 50% of the control growth level is 5.8 mg/L after 96 h of exposure. In this study, class III metallothioneins were investigated for...
