- Abstract
- The experimental data were obtained that showed that one of the most important processes of ecological repairing (restoring water quality during the process of removal of suspended matter by aquatic organisms) is inhibited by a pollutant (a xenobiotic), which points to some degree of similarity or analogy with the processes of repairing at the molecular-genetic level. The repairing at the molecular-genetic level can also be inhibited by some xenobiotics and have some other attributes that are analogous to those of ecological repairing. The xenobiotics that produced those negative effects on the processes of the ecological repairing of water quality included various synthetic surfactants, detergents, and metals. New experimental data on the effects of tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide on marine bivalves, mussels (Mytilus edulis × M. galloprovincialis) are presented.
