Toxicity of metal cations and phenolic compounds to the bioluminescent fungus Neonothopanus gardneri
Toxicity of metal cations and phenolic compounds to the bioluminescent fungus Neonothopanus gardneri
The current bioluminescent assay, which uses a fungus of the Omphalotus lineage, fills a gap covering all the representative species of bioluminescent fungi. Among the compounds tested here, Cd(II) showed the highest toxicity, followed by 4-nitrophenol, phenol and Cu(II).
