Abstract: The environmental and microbiological factors that can influence heavy metal toxicity are discussed with a view to understanding the mechanisms of microbial metal tolerance. It is apparent that metal toxicity can be heavily influenced by environmental conditions. Binding of metals to organic materials, precipitation, complexation, and ionic interactions are all important phenomena that must be considered carefully in laboratory and field studies. It is also obvious that microbes possess a range of tolerance mechanisms, most featuring some kind of detoxification. Many of these detoxification mechanisms occur widely in the microbial world and are not only specific to microbes growing in metal-contaminated environments.

Positive Aspects of Interaction Between Plants and Mycorrhizal Fungi Originating from Soils Polluted with Cadmium
P Krupa,Zofia Piotrowska-Seget +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that the concentration of cadmium in plants inoculated with fungi was significantly lower than in non-inoculated seedlings.

Synergistic effects of nutrients and lead on the quantitative ultrastructure ofCyclotella (Bacillariophyceae)
TL;DR: It is suggested that factorial design experiments approximate the natural environment more closely, as environmental factors that may change the availability of metals may also change the physiological state of the cells, which may also either amplify or mitigate the metal effects.

Plasmid-linked Resistance to Inorganic Salts in Staphylococcus aureus
Richard P. Novick,Christine Roth +1 more
TL;DR: The penicillinase plasmids, aseries of extrachromosomal resistance factors in Staphylococcus aureus, were found to carry determinants of resistance to a series of inorganic ions as well as resistance topenicillin and, in some cases, erythromycin, causing an increase in resistance by comparison with susceptible organisms of between 3- and 100-fold.

Copper ions as poison in the sea and in freshwater
TL;DR: It has recently been shown that ocean water in the centres of upwelling becomes suitable for plankton growth only after the addition of a chelator, suggesting that a large part of the Cu found in the subsurface waters of the oceans is present in ionic form.
