Cadmium Tolerance and Removal from Cunninghamella elegans Related to the Polyphosphate Metabolism

Cadmium Tolerance and Removal from Cunninghamella elegans Related to the Polyphosphate Metabolism

The aim of the present work was to study the cadmium effects on growth, ultrastructure and polyphosphate metabolism, as well as to evaluate the metal removal and accumulation by Cunninghamella elegans (IFM 46109) growing in culture medium. The presence of cadmium reduced growth, and a longer lag pha...
