Algal
populations hold great potential for
encountering water pollution problem due to their remediation abilities. Thus,
using them for removing the pollutants stands as a powerful approach. However, it is crucial to investigate the
negative effects of these pollutants on algal populations as well as
understanding the removal capacity of these populations in order to benefit
their abilities. In the present study, Chlorella
vulgaris was used as a candidate for
metal removal. Besides the remediation capacity for certain essential (Cu2+,
Zn2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Mo6+) and
non-essential (Cd2+, Pb2+, Sn4+, Ba2+,
As5+) metals, chlorophyll and carbohydrate contents, and
photosynthetic gene (psaB, Photosystem I reaction center protein subunit B) expression levels were also evaluated. Results
indicated that remediation efficiency of C.
vulgaris for essential metals was
Cu>Co>Zn>Mo>Mn and for non-essential metals was
Sn>Pb>Ba>Cd>As, respectively. It was also observed that psaB
expression was increased after the essential and non-essential metal treatment.
It can be concluded that C. vulgaris can be used as a bioindicator for Mnand Aswhile
it is also suitable to be used for metal removal.
