To investigate the mechanism of cadmium tolerance in a cadmium-resistant Azomonas agilis PY101 that produces a specific fluorescent pigment promoted by cadmium, we carried out Tn5 mutagenesis and isolated four pigment-deficient mutants. In these mutants, Ppg1, Ppg2, and Ppg3 remarkably reduced the pigment production to 15.3%, 11.2%, and 13.9%, respectively. Especially, Ppg4 mutant did not produce the pigment at all. None of the mutants grew in the presence of 1500 ppm of CdCl2 in growth medium, and they exhibited differential sensitivities to cadmium. Ppg1, Ppg2, Ppg3, and Ppg4 mutants were sensitive to 900 ppm, 1100 ppm, 1000 ppm, and 800 ppm of CdCl2, respectively. These mutants also showed noticeable increase, from 8.8-fold to 13.2-fold, in the size of growth inhibition zone compared with that of the will type after treatment with cadmium. Therefore, the pigment production of A. agilis PY101 was found to decrease the toxic effects of cadmium to the bacterium.

폐수중에 함유된 카드뮴을 미생물학적인 방법으로 정화하기 위한 기초 연구로서 아연 광산에서 고도 카드뮴 내성 효모 B-7을 분리하여 동정한 바 Hansenula anomala B-7 또는 그 유연끌으로 밝혀졌다. 이 효모는 농도 구배 한천 명판법에 의하여 $2,700{\mu}g/ml$의 카드뮴 농도에서도 내성을 나타내므로 고도 내성균으로 분류되었고 $1,000{\mu}g/ml$의 고농도 카드뮴 함유 액체 배지에서도 생육이 가능함을 확인하였다.

The MuSI is known as a multiple stress resistant gene with several lines. A previous study using RT-PCR showed that the expression of MuSI gene in tobacco plant induced its tolerance to Cd stress. This study was conducted to examine the enhanced Cd tolerance of the MuSI transgenic tobacco plant through germination test and to understand the role of the involved antioxidant enzymes for the exhibited tolerance. Germination rate of MuSI transgenic tobacco was more than 10% higher than that of wild-type tobacco, and seedlings of MuSI transgenic tobacco grew up to 1.6 times larger and greener than seedlings of wild-type tobacco at 200 and 300 ${\mu}M$ Cd. From the third to the fifth day, CAT activities at 100 and 200 ${\mu}M$ Cd and APX activities at 100, 200 and 300 ${\mu}M$ Cd of MuSI transgenic tobacco were up to two times higher than those of wild-type tobacco. MuSI gene is shown to enhance the activities of antioxidant enzymes resulting in higher tolerance to oxidative stress compared with the control plant.

Tolerance to several toxic effects of cadmium, including lethality has been shown following pretreatment with cadmium and zinc. This study was designed to determine if tolerance also develops to Cd-induced hepatotoxicityandrenaltoxicity. Three groups of rats (A, B, C), each consisting of 16 rats, were studied and each group was divided into four subgroups (1, 2, 3, 4), 4 rats for each subgroup. Rats were subcutaneously pretreated with saline (A), $CdCl_2$ (0.5 mg/kg, B), and $ZnCl_2$ (13.0 mg/kg, C) during time periods of $1{\sim}6$ weeks. At the end of the period, rats were challenged with $CdCl_2$ (3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 mg/kg, ip). After giving the challenge dose, cadmium and metallothionein (MT) concentrations were determined and also observed the histologic change in liver and kidney. The concentration of cadmium in liver and kidney increased dose-dependently to the challenge dosage. These da indicate the kidney is a major target organ of chronic cadmium poisoning, and suggest that cadmium induced hepatic injury, via release of Cd-MT, may play an important role in the nephrotoxicity observed in response to long-term exposure to cadmium. In addition, histologic examination of group $A_2,\;A_3\;and\;A_4$ revealed moderate to severe cadmium toxicity, evidenced by infiltration of inflammatory cells, cell swelling, pyknosis, enlarged sinusoids and necrosis in liver, and tubule cell necrosis and degeneration in kidney. However, MT concentrations in liver and kidney were increased by the pretreatment of $CdCl_2$ and $ZnCl_2$, and their morphological findings were not significantly changed, comparing with control group. Higher MT concentration in liver and kidney observed in the pretreated groups constitutes a plausible explanation of the protective effects of pretreatment against the cadmium toxicity after challenge dosing.

파이토킬레이트(PC)는 PCS에 의해 생성되는 작은 폴리펩타이드로서 여러 생물에서 발견되고 있다. PC의 역할은 카드뮴과 같은 중금속을 세포질에서 결합하며 이는 액포막에 존재하는 HMT에 의해서 액포 안으로 이동된다. HMT1은 분열효모에서 처음으로 알려졌으며 이후 선충, 초파리 등에서도 발견되었으며 세포 내 역할은 카드뮴 같은 중금속 해독에 관여를 하고 있다. 하지만 액포가 존재하지 않고 PC를 생성하지 않는 초파리에서의 HMT1의 발견은 그 동안 알려진 HMT1의 역할을 재 조명하게 된다. 따라서 PC를 생성하지 못하는 출아효모에 PC를 생성하는 분열효모 유래 SpHMT1을 발현시켜 카드뮴에 대한 저항성을 분석하였다. SpHMT1을 발현하는 출아효모는 카드뮴에 대한 저항성이 현저하게 증가되었고 이는 SpHMT1이 PC가 존재하지 않는 조건에서도 카드뮴에 대한 해독작용을 하는 것을 암시한다. 또한 SpHMT1을 발현하는 출아효모는 GSH에 대한 저항성을 보였고 카드뮴에 대한 저항성도 GHS에 의해서 더 증가되는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 HMT1이 PC와 결합된 카드뮴을 액포안으로 이동시키는 가능성보다 GSH와 결합된 카드뮴을 액포 안으로 이동시켜 카드뮴에 대한 해독작용을 한다는 것을 암시한다.
