It was established that with Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions’ concentrations increasing in a nutrient medium the concentration of malonic dialdehyde in cells of bacteria Serratia marcescens increases. The sharp raise of malonic dialdehyde (14.37 ± 0.76 for Hg2+ and 24.75 ± 0.59 for Cu2+) coincides with metals’ concentrations which entail the loss of pigment-synthesizing ability of bacteria. It specifies that one of possible mechanisms of pigments loss in bacteria can be a damage by free radicals of pigment-synthesizing sections of membranes.
