Abstrakt: Mixed bacterial cultures were incubated in chemostats to mimic natural conditions as close as possible. When they had reached a steady state, they received a flux containing 0.5 mg Cd l. The responses of bacterial systems were examined at 20 and 10°C. Moreover, the Cd accumulation by bacteria was analyzed with regard to the bacterial productivity. The cellular Cd repartition was compared in Cd-resistant and Cd-sensitive strains. Finally, the role played by the attached bacteria was exemplified in the Cd transfers in the freshwater bacterial community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
