Abstract
Aspergillus carbonarius and a strain ofPenicillium, a cadmium tolerant fungi, are able to metabolize cadmium chloride up to 2% (w/v). Their amino acids analysis on cadmium free and cadmium chloride containing media indicated certain disorders in their metabolic activities. Cystathionine was only detected in both fungi in the presence of cadmium chloride. However, cadmium was incorporated into several types of low and high molecular weight proteins. The amino acids hydrolyzates of a cadmium containing protein are characterized by the presence of high levels of sulfur amino acids; cysteine and methionine. Ethylasparagine was detected in the hydrolyzate of that cadmium containing protein as well.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
