As the development and utilization of heavy metals in human society more and more, along with the increasing number of heavy metals are released into the water, more and more of the heavy metals are discharged into water bodies. After the heavy metals are into the water, the primary producers of algae in water are affected first. When microalgae are on the stress of heavy metals, it will produce a series of physiological responses to response to environmental stress by itself. Therefore it also has a detoxification mechanism in a certain concentration range, which has great significance for sewage treatment using microalgae. In this paper, we described the toxicity of heavy metals and detoxification mechanisms of microalgae when microalgae in the environment with heavy metals. And we prospected the follow-up research on microalgae detoxification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
