Heavy metals is a collective term describing metals and metalloids with a density higher
than 5 g/cm3. Some of them are essential micronutrients; others do not play a positive role in …

Microalgae, the primary producers in water ecosystems, are the main food of fish and
shrimp. Microalgae have a great capacity to absorb heavy metals, and low concentrations of …

To explore the mechanism of how lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) stress affects photosynthesis
of mulberry (Morus alba L.), we looked at the effects of different concentrations of Pb and Cd …

Heavy metal pollution in ecosystem is a global threat. The associated toxicity and
carcinogenic nature of heavy metals/metalloids such as mercury, cadmium, lead, and …

Urbanization, industrialization, and natural earth processes have potentially increased the
contamination of heavy metals (HMs) in water bodies. These HMs can accumulate in human …

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been frequently investigated for its resistance to metals;
however, few studies have systematically compared the intracellular and extracellular …

The term 'stress' is widely used in the algal literature, usually in the context of the response
of algae to changed abiotic and biotic factors.'Stress' is seen as the cause of changes in …

Microalgae have become the hotspot of recent researches as heavy metals (HMs) adsorbent
and biodiesel production feedstock. In this study, the cell growth, lipid production and Cr 6+ …

Single-cell studies can help to understand individual differences and obtain atypical cellular
characteristics in view of cellular heterogeneity. Herein, the accumulation of mercury (Hg) in …

Abstract Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are widely used in daily life and inevitably
discharged into the aquatic environment, causing increasingly serious pollution. Research …
