“…Santos et al [51] mention that the absorption of heavy metals by seaweed is due to the complex cell wall, rich in fucoidanes, alginates, carboxyl groups (up to 80% of its dry weight) [51]. Similarly, heavy metal concentrations in seaweed vary significantly between seaweed species, during the sampling period and site [52].…”

“…Therefore, fungi that are not only able to tolerate pollutants but also to degrade recalcitrant materials might be useful additions to compost. Heavy-metal-tolerant organisms have been found in mangrove habitats [37,38]. In addition, recalcitrant substrates such as oil products have been shown to be degraded by mangrove habitat fungi.…”

“…Hazardous heavy metal pollutants are widespread throughout the marine environment, with macroalgae known to be efficient bio-indicator species for heavy metal accumulation [12,25]. Ecologically, certain metals are essential for macroalgal growth, including iron, manganese, zinc, and copper.…”

“…can vary depending on lifespan, environmental factors, and geographic distribution [1,[9][10][11]. Of the three groups of macroalgae that are distinguished by their pigments (i.e., Phaeophyta, brown; Rhodophyta, red; and Chlorophyta, green), brown algae, in particular, has been widely researched as a plausible heavy metal bioindicator species [12]. Phaeophyta is also known to accumulate the most arsenic compared to Rhodophyta and Chlorophyta [6].…”
