Abstract
Increases hydrostatic pressure varied the 72-h growth yield of three bacterial isolates from the deep sea in the presence of heavy metal cations of Mn, Cu, Co, and Ni, depending on the bacterial isolate, the metal cation and its concentration, and the level of hydrostatic pressure. Above atmospheric, hydrostatic pressure was found to have one of the following four effects on the response of culture growth to a heavy metal cation. (i) It could be without effect; (ii) it could enhance inhibition by a metal cation; (iii) it could increase the 72-h growth yield by a metal cation; or (iv) it could protect against a growth inhibitory effect noted at a lower pressure. Possible reasons for these varied responses are discussed.
