Detoxifying effect of desalinated deep seawater on organotin-poisoned Euglena gracilis

A Euglena gracilis Z strain was used as a biomarker to examine the detoxifying effects of desalinated deep seawater (DDSW) and surface seawater (DSSW) on the hazardous chemical, tributyltin chloride (TBTC1). A distinct restoration effect on cell motility was observed after, incubating with DDSW. The...

Description
Summary:A Euglena gracilis Z strain was used as a biomarker to examine the detoxifying effects of desalinated deep seawater (DDSW) and surface seawater (DSSW) on the hazardous chemical, tributyltin chloride (TBTC1). A distinct restoration effect on cell motility was observed after, incubating with DDSW. The effect was largely attributed to magnesium, calcium and silicon that are involved in cell motilitv and morphology.
