Mechanism of Heavy Metal Resistance | Microbiology
There are four main physiological mechanism of heavy metal resistance: (a) Inactivation, (b) Impermeability, (c) By- pass, and (d) Altered target site(s). On the other hand, earlier studies reported that fungi tend to survive heavy metal stress either by adaptation or mutation. Not only fungi but few algae such as Stigeoclonium tenue can grow in a zinc-rich effluent and showed [...]
