Bioaccumulation and toxicity of selenium compounds in the green alga Scenedesmus quadricauda
UMYSOVÁ, Dáša
Three strains of the green alga Scenedesmus quadricauda were selected to be specifically resistant to the presence of high concentrations of inorganic Se. The strain SeIV was found to be resistant to high doses of selenite, the strain SeVI was resistant to selenate, and the strain Se(IV+VI) to the presence of both Se compounds. It has been shown that both the dose and chemical form of Se are the critical factors in the cellular response. In this PhD. thesis are results from experiments with the resistant strains (activity of thioredoxin reductase, content of selenium and selenomethionine, effect of sulphur deficiency).
