Effect of cadmium at concentrations between 0.01 and 1000 μg/ml on growth of Euglena gracilis was examined in the zinc-optimum range, in which the maximum growth was obtained. The dose-response curve relating its growth amount to the concentration of cadmium added to a synthetic medium showed non-toxic, toxic, and lethal ranges of cadmium concentrations in the medium. In the non-toxic range(less than 5 μg Cd/ml), the growth amount kept nearly constant without any alteration in cell size, while it decreased with an increased cell size in the toxic range(more than 5 μg Cd/ml). By increasing zinc concentration in medium, the effect of cadmium on the growth amount and cell size was reduced with the resulting decrease in cadmium incorporation into cells. |
