- Abstract
- Toxic metals are among the most important chemical pollutants of aquatic environments. Interaction of copper and other toxic metals with biomass of algae is of interest to modern ecology and biotechnology. In this paper, interactions of the biomass of a unique extremophilic (acidophilic, thermophilic) algae Galdieria sulphuraria with copper and other metals in aquatic environment were studied. This unicellular extremophilic, acidophilic eukaryotic organism is found in hot springs and geothermal habitats. In this paper the results of experiments with the biomass and mortmass of this organism were reported. Measurements were done using the method of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Biosorption of copper and some other metals by the biomass of this organism from an aquatic medium was discovered. The results are useful to develop new biotechnology to remove toxic metals from water.
