abstract:
We detected the effect of Cadmium on the cytoskeleton ofClathrina clathrusby immunocytochemistry, confocal microscopy and immunoblotting. Results highlighted the potential of the sponge to resist to the action of heavy metals through the reorganisation of the tubulins and suggest the utilization of sponges for biomonitoring of environmental pollution.
