Résumé
Heavy metal (HM) pollution threatens human and ecosystem health. Current methods for remediating water contaminated with HMs are expensive and have limited effect. Therefore, bioremediation is being investigated as an environmentally and economically viable alternative. Freshwater protists Euglena gracilis and Euglena mutabilis were investigated for their tolerance to cadmium (Cd). A greater increase in cell numbers under Cd stress was noted for E. mutabilis but only E. gracilis showed an increase in Cd tolerance following pre-treatment with elevated concentrations of S or N. To gain insight regarding the nature of the increased tolerance RNA-sequencing was carried out on E. gracilis. This revealed transcript level changes among pretreated cells, and additional differences among cells exposed to CdCl
