The slow swimming mutant (strain 11C 104), isolated from Paramecium caudatum, which swims at a speed about 70% of the wild type, is not different from the wild type (strain Kyky-1) in cell shape, density of cilia over the cell surface, and length of cilia. Cross-sectioned structures of the somatic cilia also do not give any difference between the mutant and the wild type. ATPase activities of c...

The algorithm is suggested for selecting most appropriate and sensitive bioassay method to a particular type of pollution prevailing in the study area. bases on battery bioassays, which necessarily includes mortality test Daphnia magna Straus, 1820. Other approaches comparing sensitivity methods are selected aim. has been tested model situ samples. According proposed algorithm, tests D. Cerioda...

Due to the growing use of polymer materials, in particular construction sphere, issue their recycling at end service life is particularly relevant. Being base for flooring, plasticized PVC-compositions, are utilized by soil microbial flora, as plasticizer EDOS has a positive effect on microbiocenosis soil. It was shown that aqueous extracts samples there no toxicity two test objects - infusoria...
