TLDR
The main effects, which were seen in a number of cases, were an overall inhibition of total lipid labelling and a relative increase in the labelling of triacylglycerols in the non-polar fraction, which can be viewed as reflecting general toxicity of heavy metals.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Lipids and lipid metabolism in eukaryotic algae
TL;DR: Attempts to discover genes that code for expression of the various proteins involved in the production of very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microalgae lipid and biomass for biofuel production: A comprehensive review on lipid enhancement strategies and their effects on fatty acid composition
TL;DR: This study provides a comprehensive review on lipid enhancement strategies through environmental stresses and the synergistic or antagonistic effects of those parameters on biomass productivity and the lipid composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions of lichens with heavy metals
Martin Bačkor,Stefano Loppi +1 more
TL;DR: Sources of heavy metals, mechanisms of heavy metal accumulation and detoxification by lichens are discussed, and special emphasis is placed on ultrastructural changes as well as physiological parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of high-quality algal food sources in stream food webs - current status and future perspectives
TL;DR: The important influence of algal food quality, as assessed by PUFA, in stream food webs is reviewed to provide insights into how freshwater species can cope with different nutritional food conditions due to human disturbance and climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological and biotechnological aspects of lichens.
Ilona Oksanen,Ilona Oksanen +1 more
TL;DR: There is still large potential for further industrial screening and research on lichen products, due to improved culture techniques of isolated symbionts, increased knowledge of their secondary metabolism and improved methods for solubilizing lichen metabolites.

Heavy metal stress in plants : from biomolecules to ecosystems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of heavy metal toxicity on plants and found that heavy metal poisoning in plants increased the sensitivity of plants to water and water relations in heavy metal-exposed plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phycology and heavy-metal pollution
TL;DR: All heavy metals, including those that are essential micronutrients (e.g. copper, zinc, etc.), are toxic to algae at high concentrations.
