| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Raphidiophrys contractilis show a very sensitive reaction to environmental pollutants such as heavy metals. Therefore, it is possible monitoring of water quality with this organism. However, there is no biological basic research on why this organism responds sensitively to environmental pollutants. Therefore, we examined the reaction of a Raphidiophrys contractilis and various chemicals. Then, we analyzed the response mechanism of organisms by extracellular chemical stimulation.
