The ciliated protozoan, Paramecium, can be used to quantitate cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of ingested complex environmental particles. Cytotoxicity is quantitated by the increased proportion of treated versus control cells which do not retain their capacity for normal cell replication. Genotoxic effects are assessed by the increased fraction of nonviable offspring from treated versus control parent cells after the self-fertilization process of autogamy. Since these cells ingest nonnutrient respirable-sized particles, biological activity of intracellular extraction of dusts and fly ash can be compared before and after extraction with polar and nonpolar solvents. Previous studies indicated that coal fly ash was mutagenic in these eukaryotic cells. Mutagenicity of coal fly ash was not detectable after extraction with a concentration of HCO known to remove nonmatrix trace elements.These results suggested that this ciliate bioassay might be a detector of mineral mutagens. Fine particles of the carcinogenic nickel compounds, a-nickel subsulfide, and f-nickel sulfide were compared for their biological activity in this bioassay. Both nickel compounds were ingested by the ciliates and induced heritable damage in the progeny of the treated parent cells.

These results suggested that this ciliate bioassay might be a detector of mineral mutagens. Fine particles of the carcinogenic nickel compounds, a-nickel subsulfide, and P-nickel sulfide were compared for their biological activity in this bioassay. Both nickel compounds were ingested by the ciliates and induced heritable damage in the progeny of the treated parent cells.

“…M-or SAT-chromosome, whereas the five short chromosomes are designated as m-or s-chromosomes. Using the cold treatment technique, the position of the heterochromatic regions in Viciufubu chromosomes have been determined in several investigations (LACOUR 1951;MCLEISH 1953;GLASS 1956;OCKEY 1960;EVANS and BIGGER 1961). In the two last publications, the investigations were made on individual chromosomes, whereas in the others the short chromosomes were placed in one or several groups.…”
