Metal cation toxicity to basidiomycete fungi is poorly understood, despite its well-known importance in terrestrial ecosystems. Moreover, there is no reported methodology for the routine evaluation of metal toxicity to basidiomycetes. In the present study, we describe the development of a procedure to assess the acute toxicity of metal cations (Na+, K+, Li+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+) to the bioluminescent basidiomycete fungus Gerronema viridilucens. The method is based on the decrease in the intensity of bioluminescence resulting from injuries sustained by the fungus mycelium exposed to either essential or nonessential metal toxicants. The assay described herein enables LIS to propose a metal toxicity series to Gerronenia viridilucens based on data obtained from the bioluminescence intensity (median effective concentration [EC50] values) versus metal concentration: Cd2+ > Cu2+ > Mn2+ approximate to Ni2+ approximate to Co2+ > Zn2+ > Mg2+ > Li+ > K+ approximate to Na+ > Ca2+, and to shed some li-ht on the mechanism of toxic action of metal cations to basidiomycete fungi.
