Heavy metals is a collective term describing metals and metalloids with a density higher
than 5 g/cm3. Some of them are essential micronutrients; others do not play a positive role in …

Abiotic stress poses major problems to agriculture and increasing efforts are being made to
understand plant stress response and tolerance mechanisms and to develop new tools that …

Este libro busca promover la experimentación, la profundización y la familiarización con
temas relacionados con la fisiología vegetal y el uso de metodologías bioquímicas como …

Coccomyxa onubensis (C. onubensis) is an acid-tolerant microalga whose ecosystem (Tinto
River, Huelva, Spain) contains high amounts of different heavy metals. However, the …

Metal tolerance in marine diatoms vary between morphotypes, strains, and species due to
their long-term adaptations to stochastic environments. The mechanisms underlying this …

The generation of excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the most common
consequences of abiotic stress on plants. Glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6. 4.2) and allied …

BACKGROUND: Entamoeba histolytica, an intestinal protozoan that is the causative agent of
amoebiasis, is exposed to elevated amounts of highly toxic reactive oxygen and nitrogen …

This study aimed to purify glutathione reductase (GR) from turkey liver and investigate some
of its characteristic features. The purification procedure comprised 2 steps: homogenate …

Acidithiobacillus caldus plays an important role in bioleaching of low-grade metal ore. It can
promote the release of heavy metals in mining-associated habitats and survive in high …

A new glutathione reductase gene (psgr) coding for glutathione reductase (GR) from an
Antarctic bacterium was cloned and overexpressed into Escherichia coli (E. coli). A …
