Abstract: | Different uptake routes of contaminants were analysed with focus on particle-bound pollutants. Bioavailability of cadmium was determined with quantitative mRNA-analysis using the expression of the “cadmium responsive gene” cdr- in Caenorhabditis elegans. Comparable experiments were performed with fluoranthene as organic pollutant. The exposure in medium was compared with and without bacteria as food particles. Both bioaccumulation and toxic effects were most influenced via the food exposure. Inorganic particles increased also the uptake of cadmium, but significantly less than food or mixtures of food and inorganic particles. The exposure of fluoranthene reduced the reproduction of the nematodes, if a gene expression threshold was exceeded. However, bioavailabilty of fluoranthene via food particles caused a faster response of the cyp-expression. Thus means, the internal availability is crucial influenced by the uptake route. |
