I carried out the research on bio-monitoring system using heliozoa Raphidiophrys; Ecological monitoring has been given increasing attention because of the potential establishment of a correlation between the chemical nature of the pollutant and its biological effects. Organisms including plants, animals, heliozoa and microorganisms have been adopted in biomonitoring programm’s. We know protozoa are cosmopolitan eukaryotic microorganism. Heliozoon Raphidiophrys contractilis is used as a model organism for the biomonitoring; because the organism is very sensitive to any kind of environmental stresses or changes and shows axopodial shortening as one of the cellular response that can be easily detected by light microscopy.
I also carried out research on “Morphological analysis of intra-chloroplastic particles, which contain carbonic anhydrases, under changing light and dark condition.” in a marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum at Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan. During my Ph. D. I carried out research on the toxic effect of heavy metal ions (Zn2+, Pb2+, Hg2+, Cu2+, As3+ and Cd2+) on the axopodia of heliozoon R. contractilis and the result published in the Journal of Environmental Sciences 13 (4), 193-200) entitled with “Axopodial degradation in the heliozoon R.contractilis: A novel bioassay system for detecting heavy metal toxicity in an aquatic environment.” I also found that “Axopodial contraction in the heliozoon R. contractilis requires extracellular Ca2+ and external stimuli” that published in Int. J. Zool. Sci., 20, 1367-1372, 2003. Effect of ruthenium red and gadolinium (Gd3+), a stretch activated ion channel blocker, on axopodial contraction in the heliozoon R. contractilis. Beside that I conducted research on depolymerization of microtubule by the effect of metal ions. Degradation of axopodia in the heliozoon R. contractilis, role of extracellular Ca2+ to induce microtubule depolymerization and polymerization i.e. how the extracellular Ca2+ play the role of microtubule depolymerization i.e. the involvement of voltage dependent Ca2+ channel in this cell type.
