Physiological and Biochemical Response of a Hot-Spring Cyanobacterium Nostoc Sp. Strain HKAR-2 to Aluminum Toxicity

"Battery of Bioassays" for Diagnostics of Toxicity of Natural Water when Pollution with Aluminum Compounds

“…It has recently been shown that aluminum at a concentration of 0.2 to 0.6 mM at pH 7.5 significantly reduces the amount of protein, chlorophyll, mycosporine-like amino acids, phycobiliproteins, extracellular and intracellular macronutrients such as phosphate and nitrate contents, and nitrate reductase activity in cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. strain HKAR-2 [Kannaujiya et al 2020].…”
