Enhanced Production of Polysaccharides and Protein Content in Cyanobacterium, Oscillatoria limnetica as a Defense Mechanism Against Low pH and Pb2+
Living biomass has better ability to remove Pb2+ from wastewaters as compare to dead biomass. But, living biomass also have some practical limitations, such as, they are not efficient at low pH, and at high concentrations of metal ions. In the present study living biomass of Oscillatoria limnetica w...
