EVALUATION OF BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF TOXIC AGENTS IN A UNICELLULAR MODEL

Combined toxicity of inorganic substances: Ag(I)−Cu(II), Cr(VI)−Ni(II) is studied in a culture ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts. The dynamics of yeast growth in the presence of individual metals an their combinations is examined. A diagram method for the evaluation of combined toxicity is proposed.
