Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the biochemistry of heavy metal biosorption by brown algae
TL;DR: The emphasis is on outlining the biochemical properties of the brown algae that set them apart from other algal biosorbents, including alginate and fucoidan, which are chiefly responsible for heavy metal chelation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein release from alginate matrices.
Wayne R. Gombotz,Siow Fong Wee +1 more
TL;DR: By selection of the type of alginate and coating agent, the pore size, degradation rate, and ultimately release kinetics can be controlled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seaweed extract stimuli in plant science and agriculture
TL;DR: A new and exciting vista has opened for seaweed extracts in both plant and animal applications as improved analytical techniques and instrumentation coupled with the use of molecular genetic tools are establishing that seaweeds extracts can modify plant andAnimal responses at a fundamental level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Algae for Removing Heavy Metal Ions From Wastewater: Progress and Prospects
S.K. Mehta,J.P. Gaur +1 more
TL;DR: Commercial application of algal technology for metal removal from wastewaters, emphasis should be given to selection of strains with high metal sorption capacity, adequate understanding of sorption mechanisms, and development of low-cost methods for cell immobilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cell wall in plant cell response to trace metals: polysaccharide remodeling and its role in defense strategy
TL;DR: This review paper will present the most recent results, especially those that are concerned withpolysaccharide level, composition and distribution under trace metal stress, and describe in detail the polysaccharides responsible for metal binding and immobilization in different groups of plants (algae and higher plants).
