Abstract

Because of increasing industrial activity, heavy metal pollution is todays one of the most important environmental
problem. Heavy metal pollution is causes an accumulation especially in aquatic environments. Heavy metal pollution
is negative affect on the life cycle of the organisms that living in aquatic environment and related to aquatic environment.
Organisms can prevent heavy metals toxic effect due to their heavy metal resistance systems. Heavy
metal resistance system has been observed extensively in microorganisms. İn this review, it has been explained
heavy metals and heavy metal systems of heavy metal resistant microorganisms.

Toprak ve Sucul Ortamlardaki Ağır Metal Kirliliği ve Ağır Metal Dirençli Mikroorganizmalar

Abstract

Ağır metal kirliliği, gelişen sanayi faaliyetleri ile beraber günümüzün en önemli çevre sorunlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Ağır metal kirliliği özellikle sucul ortamlarda birikime neden olmaktadır. Sucul ortamlarda yaşayan ve bu sucul ortamlarla ilişkili tüm canlıların yaşam döngüsü ağır metal kirliliğinden olumsuz yönde etkilenmektedir. Canlılar geliştirdikleri ağır metal direnç sistemleri ile ağır metallerin toksik etkilerinden korunabilirler. Ağır metal direnç sistemleri mikroorganizmalarda yaygın olarak gözlenmektedir. Bu literatür çalışmasında ağır metaller ve ağır metal dirençli mikroorganizmaların direnç sistemleri anlatılmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Sucul ortamlar, Ağır metal direnç sistemleri, Mikroorganizmalar

Keywords
