Abstract excerpt
Arsenic (As) pollution seriously threatens human and ecological health. Microalgal cell wall and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are known to interact with As, but their roles in the As resistance, accumulation and speciation in microalgae remain unclear. Here, we used two strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, namely CC-125 (wild type) and CC-503 (cell wall-deficient mutant), to examine the algal growth,...
