Abstract excerpt
As a basis for both a genetic and a biochemical approach to a study of metal ion effects, a method for quantitating the toxic response of Drosophila to metal ions was developed. The response to 13 metal ions has been examined, including several chemical groups from the periodic table: the IIb ions Zn2+, Cd2+, and Hg2+; the IIa ions, Be2+, Mg2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+; the transition elements, Ni2+, Cu2+, Co2+, and Mn2+:...
