Journal ArticleDOI

Heavy metal–induced oxidative stress in algae†

TL;DR: The evidence linking metal accumulation, cellular toxicity, and the generation of ROS in aquatic environments is reviewed, with a focus on algae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolites from algae with economical impact

TL;DR: The current review describes the main substances biosynthesized by algae with potential economic impact in food science, pharmaceutical industry and public health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical biomarkers in algae and marine pollution: a review.

TL;DR: The effects of pollutants on the cellular biochemistry of microalgae and the biochemical mechanisms thatmicroalgae use to detoxify or modify pollutants are reviewed and the potential uses ofMicroalgae as bioindicator species as an early sentinel in polluted sites are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid, fatty acid, protein, amino acid and ash contents in four Brazilian red algae species

TL;DR: Four species of marine benthic algae that belong to the phylum Rhodophyta were collected in Espirito Santo State, Brazil and investigated concerning their biochemical composition and appear to be potential sources of dietary proteins, amino acids, lipids and essential fatty acids for humans and animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant modulation in response to metal-induced oxidative stress in algal chloroplasts.

TL;DR: It is indicated that heavy metals are able to induce oxidative stress in chloroplasts of G. polyedra, particularly under acute conditions, and the maintenance of a high antioxidant capacity within chloroplast seems to be an important strategy during acclimation of Gonyaulaxpolyedra to chronic metal stress.
