In the present study, the level of thiols and activity of related enzymes were investigated in coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum L.) plants to analyze their role in combating the stress caused upon exposure to cadmium (Cd; 0–10 μM) for a duration up to 7 d. Plants showed the maximum accumulation of 1293 μg Cd g−1 dw after 7 d at 10 μM. Significant increases in the level of total non-protein thiols (NP-SH) including phytochelatins (PCs) as well as upstream metabolites of the PC biosynthetic pathway, cysteine and glutathione (GSH) were observed. In addition, significant increases in the activities of cysteine synthase (CS), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), as well as in vitro activation of phytochelatin synthase (PCS), were noticed in response to Cd. In conclusion, under Cd stress, plants adapted to a new metabolic equilibrium of thiols through coordinated synthesis and consumption to combat Cd toxicity and to accumulate it.
