Heavy Metal Salts

This experiment was performed to investigate changes in the thymus of Wistar-strain male rats administered cadmium chloride (CdCl2), mercuric chloride (HgCl2), and lead chloride (PbCl2) salts. The study involved measurement of: 1) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content; 2) ascorbic acid (vitamin C) content; 3) incorporation of 3h-thymidine during in-vitro investigation; and 4) histological and morphological changes. It was shown in investigations on DNA content that administration of heavy metal salts caused an average 76% decrease in DNA content compared to the control. Moreover, in the thymus of experimental animals, an average 69% decrease in vitamin C content was recorded. In in vitro cultures, heavy metal salts decreased the incorporation of 3H-thymidine in thymic cells.

Abstract In this work three heavy metals: cadmium (as CdSO4), cobalt (as CoCl2) and zinc (as ZnSO4), were used to determine and compare their toxicity towards two subspecies of barley (Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare L. and Hordeum vulgare subsp. distichum L.), focusing on seeds germination, seedlings growth, and cytological parameters. The results indicate that the effect of these heavy metals depends on the metal kind, the metal concentrations and the plant subspecies. Generally, in the case of H. vulgare, the heavy metal salts understudy did not influence significantly seed germination and seedling growth parameters. However, these metal salts influence significantly these parameters for H. distichum. The cytological test showed significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the mitotic index among the increase of the heavy metal concentrations when evaluated with the control for H. vulgare and H. distichum. Consequently, H. vulgare seemed to be more tolerant of the increase of the three heavy metals concentrations than H. distichum.

Phosphate Solubilising Microorganisms

Tiger Hill, a notified reserve forest is the highest point around Darjeeling town in Eastern Himalayan Hotspot. Soil nutrition of this forest area depends on nutrient recycling where phosphate solubilising microorganisms (PSM) has crucial role to play as it solubilises insoluble phosphorus salt to soluble forms. But, with rise in use of toxic chemicals these microbes are at threat. This research initiative explores isolation of PSM from Tiger hill forest soil to detect pesticide, antibiotic, antifungal and heavy metal tolerance. Soil sample from tiger hill has moisture (18.55%), pH (3.87), organic carbon (1.187%), total Nitrogen (1.02%) and Phosphorus in P2O5 form (10ppm). Isolation and screening of PSM were conducted on Pikovskaya’s agar medium. In vitro tolerance assay was performed to detect degree of tolerance in isolated PSM-consortium (PSMC). Pesticides like Fipronil, Thiomethoxame, Emamectin benzoate, Deltamethrin, Flubendiamide, Spiromesifen, Fenazaquin and Phorate exhibited complete to high degree of tolerance. PSMC was fully tolerant to antibiotic like Augmentin, Erythromycin, Chloramphenicol, Ofloxacin, Co-Trimoxazole, Cefotaxime; antifungal Itraconazole and Fluconazole. Mild tolerance towards heavy metal salts like As2O3, SnCl2, CdCl2, CuCl2, CdSO4 and CuSO4 were detected. Synergestic effect of cells present in the isolated PSMC may also be an added advantageous property to tolerate pesticides, antibiotic, antifungal and heavy metal salts.
