Abstract
Comparison between growth responses of autotrophic and heterotrophic popula tions of lichen photobiont Trebouxia irregularis (isolated from heavy metal tolerant population of lichen Cladina mitis) on Cu, Hg and Cd chlorides tr eatment were studied. Heavy metal content in the C. mitis thalli, relative toxicity of single metal chlorides, effect of the concentration, difference s between toxicity to autotrophic and heterotrophic strains and effective c oncentrations are discussed.
