Influence of Cadmium(II) Ions and Brewery Sludge on Metallothionein Level in Earthworms (Eisenia fetida) – Bio-transforming of Toxic Wastes
Metallothioneins belong to a group of intracellular, high molecular and cysteine-rich proteins whose content in an organism increase with increasing concentration of a heavy metal. The aim of this work was to apply the electrochemical analysis for the analysis of metallothioneins in earthworms expos...
