Table 3.
Fold induction values and standard deviation (SD) from the qRT–PCR analysis of Chlamydomonas acidophila CaPCS2 gene obtained by quantitative RT–PCR after As or Cd exposure during 1, 3, and 24 h. The results are expressed as relative mRNA expression normalized to both control genes (housekeeping). Data are means ± SD of three independent experiments. Significant differences between treated and non-treated cells are indicated by p < 0.001.
