Periphytic Algae and Cyanobacteria from the Rio Doce Basin Respond Differently to Metals and Salinity, Showing Different Potential for Bioremediation

We have studied the isolated and combined effects of metals (Fe and Mn) and NaCl the on growth, physiology, and metal-uptake capacity of two photosynthetic periphytic species—<i>Synechococcus elongatus</i> (Cyanobacteria) and <i>Chlorococcum infusionum</i> (Chlorophyta)—isola...
