Many algae have immense capability to sorb metals, and there is considerable potential for
using them to treat wastewaters. Metal sorption involves binding on the cell surface and to …

Phytoremediation and phycoremediation are cost-effective and environmentally sound
technologies for the treatment of polluted streams and wastewaters contaminated with …

The absorption characteristics of Cd2+ by 10-to 12-day-old soybean plants (Glycine max cv
Williams) were investigated with respect to influence of Cd concentration on adsorption to …

Algae are exposed to elevated levels of heavy metals in water bodies generally for a long-
term, and occasionally for a short-term duration. The present study deals with oxidative …

Trace metal ion buffers and their use in culture studies Page 46 Contents 1.0. Introduction 1.1.
Trace Elements as Limiting Nutrients 1.2. Trace Metal Toxicity 1.3. Trace Metal Availability to …

Exposure of Chlorella vulgaris to elevated concentrations of copper, chromium, nickel and
zinc led to intracellular accumulation of high concentrations of these metals. Concomitantly …

Environmental Context. The chemical speciation of trace metals greatly influences their
biological effects. Nonetheless, no clear consensus currently exists as to when metal …

To elicit a biological response from a target organism and/or to accumulate within this
organism, a metal must first interact with a cell membrane. For hydrophilic metal species, this …

A 4-h exposure of Scenedesmus sp. to Cu or Zn enhanced intracellular levels of both test
metals and proline. The level of intracellular proline increased markedly up to 10 µM Cu, but …

The cell walls of plants, including those of algae, have the capacity to bind metal ions in
negatively charged sites. The authors had already shown that the wild type (walled) strain of …
