Cytogenetic effect of heavy-metal and cyanide in contaminated waters from the region of southwest Bulgaria

Panagjurishte-Güneybatı Bulgaristan bölgesinde suyu kirleten ağır metal ve siyanürün sitogenetik etkileri çalışılmıştır. In vivo Allium cepa'da bitki test sistemi kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, hücre bölünme hızında bir azalma ve kromozom mutasyonlarından kaynaklanan normal mitoz bölünmeden sapmalar tespit edilmiştir. Kullanılan metod, ağır metaller ve siyanür ile kontamine olmuş suyun biyolojik olarak görüntülenmesi için uygulanabilir bir metodtur.

Bulgaristan' ın güneybatı bölgesindeki kontamine sularda ağır metal ve seyanürün sitogenetik etkileri

A study was made on the cytogenetic effect of heavy-metal and cyanide polluted waters from the region of Panagjurishte - Southwest Bulgaria. A plant test-system Allium cepa in vivo was used. A decreased cell division rate was established, and deviations from the normal mitosis in the result of chromosome mutations were registered. The method used is applicable for biological monitoring of waters contaminated with heavy metals and cyanides.
