Tolerance to Environmental Contaminants (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Amiard-Triquet, Claude; Romeo, Michele; Rainbow, Philip S.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Tolerance, the ability of populations to cope with the chemical stress resulting from toxic contaminants, has been described in many organisms from bacteria to fungi, from phytoplankton to terrestrial flowering plants, and from invertebrates such as worms to vertebrates like fish and amphibians. The building of tolerance, be it by physiological acc
