Abstract
Cadmium is a non-essential metal which is toxic to all organisms and was
classified as carcinogen by several agencies. This study utilizes Chlorella
vulgaris (UMT-M1) as a model to study cadmium induced stress in cells. C.
vulgaris were exposed to 0.26 mg/L and 2.6 mg/L of cadmium and a total of
nine cadmium-inducible genes were identified using differential display
polymerase chain reaction (DD-PCR). The sizes of isolated DNA fragments
ranged from 242 to 1009 bp which was grouped into three categories based
on their function.
