Enzyme Activity in Pb-Adapted Rhizopus by Sauryya Bhattacharyya is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) A lead-adapted strain of the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus showed increased activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GPX) and defense enzymes (AP, PPO) when exposed to lead, compared to a wild-type strain. 2) The adapted strain also showed higher thiol content when exposed to lead, indicating increased metal-chelating ability. 3) The responses of the adapted strain to lead exposure include increased antioxidant and pathogen defense as well as metal detoxification, suggesting these may be mechanisms of fu
