AbstractThe effects of mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr) in concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 20 mg L−1 applied for 24 h were assessed in Lemna minor and Lemna gibba by measuring changes in protein concentration, ascorbic acid, phenolics, malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the activity of guaiacol peroxidase (G-POX) and catalase (CAT). Ascorbic acid, phenolics, catalase and guaiacol peroxidase played a key role in the antioxidative response of L. gibba. Inadequate activity of antioxidant enzymes in the L. minor resulted in MDA and H2O2 accumulation. In both used species, Hg treatment decreased protein content and increased CAT and G-POX activity, but decreased MDA and H2O2 levels. Cadmium and chromium had opposite impacts on two used Lemna species on almost all observed parameters. Enhanced antioxidative responses of L. gibba to lower concentrations of Hg, Cd and Cr indicated greater abiotic stress tolerance than L. minor.
