## Abstract The toxic effects of heavy metals on organisms are well established. However, their specific action at the cellular level in different tissues is mostly unknown. We have used the housefly, __Musca domestica__, as a model organism to study the toxicity of four heavy metals: copper (Cu),
Molybdenum (Mo) is known for its roles in microbial enzymes and in enhancing the corrosion resistance of engineering alloys. In this study, Mo coupons were exposed to a sulfate-reducing bacterial (SRB) culture Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and then changes in surface chemical states were analyzed by X
