In this study, authors investigated the cadmium tolerance, the accumulation of cadmium, and the cellular distribution of accumlated cadmium in lactic acid bacteria under the anaerobic condition. Lactic acid bacteria grew fairly well in modified EG medium containing 10 ppm of cadmium but could hardly grow at 50 ppm of cadmium. Tolerance to cadmium of genus Lactobacillus was greater than that of genus Streptococcus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus showed the higest cadmium tolerance amomg the bacteria tested. The capacity of cadmium accumlation (9.304-12.428 mg/g wet cell) of lactic acid bacteria was higher than that (6.775 mg/g wet cell) of Escherichia coli. Lactobacillus casei of them took up the largest amount of cadmium. The cadmium elimination amount (28.46-29.25%) of lactic acid bacteria from modified EG medium containing cadmium were also higher than that (14.43%) of Escherichia coli. Accumulated cadmium in Lactobacillus acidophilus was distributed by 42.41% at cell wall, 28.97% at cytoplasm, and 28.62% at plasma membrane, respectively.

Over-expression of a copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/ZnSOD) resulted in substantially increased tolerance to cadmium exposure in Arabidopsis thaliana. Lower lipid peroxidation and $H_2O_2$ accumulation and the higher activities of $H_2O_2$ scavenging enzymes, including catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in transformants (CuZnSOD-tr) compared to untransformed controls (wt) indicated that oxidative stress was the key factor in cadmium tolerance. Although progressive reductions in the dark-adapted photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) and quantum efficiency yield were observed with increasing cadmium levels, the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were less marked in CuZnSOD-tr than in wi. These observations indicate that oxidative stress in the photosynthetic apparatus is a principal cause of Cd-induced phytotoxicity, and that Cu/ZnSOD plays a critical role in protection against Cd-induced oxidative stress.

Tolerance to toxic effects of cadmium (Cd), including lethality has been shown following pretreatment with cadmium and zinc. This study was designed to determine if tolerance also develops to Cd-induced hepatotoxicity and renal toxicity. Three groups of rats (A, B, C), each consisting of 108 rats, were studied and each group was divided into three subgroups (1, 2, 3), 12 rats for each subgroup. Rats were subcutaneously pretreated with saline (A), CdCl$_2$ (0.5 mg/kg, B), and ZnCl$_2$ (13.0 mg/kg, C) during time periods of 5 days. At the end of the period, rats were challenged with CdCIa (3.0 and 6.0 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection. As for the cadmium levels in rat tissues after pretreatments, it was highest in the liver. Then kidney, heart, blood and muscle followed it in that order. After 24, 48 and 96 hours of intraperitoneal injection by challenge doses the concentration of cadmium in liver and kidney increased proportionally to the increase of challenge dosage. However metallothioneins in liver and kidney were increased by the pretreatment of cadmium and zinc. These data indicate the liver is a major target organ of acute Cd poisoning, and suggest that cadmium induced hepatic injury, via release of Cd-MT, may play and important role in the nephrotoxicity observed in response to short-term exposure to cadmium. This result suggests that increasing cadmium concentrations, gradually accumulating in liver and kidney as the result of the pretteatmerit, served to induced the synthesis of metallothionein, thus making them resistant to the challenge from cadmium.

Tolerance to toxic effects of cadmium(Cd), including lethality has been shown following pretreatment with cadmium and zinc. This study was designed to determine if tolerance also develops to Cd-induced hepatotoxicity and renal toxicity. Three groups of rats(A, B, C), each consisting of 52 rats, were studied and each group was divided into three subgroups(1,2,3), 28 rats for each subgroup. Rats were subcutaneously pretreated with saline(A), $CdCl_2$(0.5 mg/kg, B), and $ZnCl_2$(13.0 mg/kg, C) during time periods of 5 days. At the end of the period, rats were challenged with $CdCl_2$(3.0 and 6.0 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection. As for the cadmium levels in rat tissues after 1,3,5,6 days of pretreatments, it was highest in the liver. Then kidney, heart, blood and muscle followed it in that order. After 24, 48 and 96 hours of intraperitoneal injection by challenge doses the concentration of cadmium in liver and kidney increased proportionally to the increase of challenge dosage. However metallothioneins in liver and kidney were increased by the pretreatment of cadmium and zinc.

Cd 처리에 대한 박달나무의 반형매 차대간의 Cd 흡수 및 이동 패턴을 알아보고자 수행한 결과, 잎의 주간내 위치에 따른 Cd농도는 지제부에서 높게 나타나고 정단부로 올라 갈수록 농도가 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 대체로 식물체내에서 Cd의 농도 분포는 뿌리>줄기>잎의 순으로 나타났지만, 가계별, 처리별로 상이한 결과가 나타나 가계간 유전적인 요인이 크게 작용한 것으로 판단된다. 모든 가계의 처리구에서 지상부와 지하부의 Cd 농도 비율이 1.26으로 나타나 박달나무는 Cd을 흡수하여 지상부로 보내는 축적종의 경향을 갖고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 토양 중금속 농도와 식물체내 중금속 농도의 비도 가계간 차이는 있지만, Cd을 능동적으로 흡수하여 지상부로 이동시키는 Cd 정화 수종으로 판단된다. 하지만 박달나무는 Cd에 대한 반응이 가계간 다양하므로 토양 중 Cd정화를 위해 이용할 경우, 정화 능력이 우수한 수종을 선발하는 것뿐만 아니라, 같은 수종 내에서도 내성 능력과 정화능력이 차이가 있으므로 가계 선발이 필요할 것이다.

An extremely cadmium tolerant yeast, Hansenula anomala B-7 used to determine the modification of the intracellular enzyme activities by cadmium ion. The activities of alcohol dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase, and cytidine deaminase were decreased up to 90%, 40%, and 86% compa- red with the control by 1 mM cadmium nitrate respectively, but the activities of malate dehydrogenase, 6- phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase, and alkaline phosphatase were increased up to 440%, 136%, 260% and 155% compared with the control by 1 mM cadmium nitrate respectively. These results show that the activities of the enzymes participating in Embden-Mayerhof pathway (e.g. anaerobic metabolism) were reduced by cadmium, but those involved in hexose monophosphate pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle (e.g. aerobic metabolism) were stimulated in contrast. It has been suggested that the diminished activity of cytidine deaminase in pyrimidine nucleotide dissimilation occured due to the inhibited nucleotide dissimilation by cadmium ion; the enhanced activity of cytochrome c oxidase was specifically required in order to oxidize a raised amount of NADH and NADPH due to the increased aerobic metabolism.

MuSI, a gene that corresponds to a domain that contains the rubber elongation factor (REF), is highly homologous to many stress-related proteins in plants. Since MuSI is up-regulated in the roots of plants treated with cadmium or copper, the involvement of MuSI in cadmium tolerance was investigated in this study. Escherichia coli cells overexpressing MuSI were more resistant to Cd than wild-type cells transfected with vector alone. MuSI transgenic plants were also more resistant to Cd. MuSI transgenic tobacco plants absorbed less Cd than wild-type plants. Cd translocation from roots to shoots was reduced in the transgenic plants, thereby avoiding Cd toxicity. The number of short trichomes in the leaves of wild-type tobacco plants was increased by Cd treatment, while this was unchanged in MuSI transgenic tobacco. These results suggest that MuSI transgenic tobacco plants have enhanced tolerance to Cd via reduced Cd uptake and/or increased Cd immobilization in the roots, resulting in less Cd translocation to the shoots.
