The influence of cadmium and zinc on the cell size distribution of the alga Chlorella vulgaris
TLDR
An investigation of the effect of cadmium and zinc ions (both singly and together), at various concentrations, on the mean cell size and the size distribution of the alga Chlorella vulgaris found that the size data from all the experiments could best be described as a log-normal distribution rather than as a normal distribution.About:

Bioremoval of heavy metals by the use of microalgae.
Edward W. Wilde,John R. Benemann +1 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the current literature, highlighting the potential benefits and problems associated with the development of novel algal-based bioremoval processes for the abatement of heavy metal pollution.

Application of alga-activated sludge combined system (AASCS) as a novel treatment to remove cephalosporins
Ruixin Guo,Jianqiu Chen +1 more
TL;DR: The alga-activated sludge combined system could use the un-acclimated activated sludge directly and finally obtain high removal efficiency compared with the traditional biological treatment.

Cadmium toxicity to two marine phytoplankton under different nutrient conditions.
Ai-Jun Miao,Wen-Xiong Wang +1 more
TL;DR: The toxicity difference among the different nutrient-conditioned cells was the smallest when the Cd concentration in the soluble fraction was used, suggesting that it may be the best predictor of Cd toxicity under different nutrient conditions.

Uptake of cadmium and zinc by yeast: Effects of co-metal ion and physical/chemical treatments
Yen-Peng Ting,W.K. Teo +1 more
TL;DR: Non-interaction and antagonism were demonstrated in the uptake of cadmium and zinc respectively by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, suggesting that the two metal ions may be bound to different sites on the cell.

Sensitivity of Cylindrotheca closterium to copper: Influence of three test endpoints and two test methods
TL;DR: C. closterium was demonstrated to be a suitable organism for adoption in ecotoxicological studies, given the reliability of the three endpoints and also of the two test methods evaluated here.

Coordination of growth with cell division in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: It is proposed that the normal coordination of cell growth with cell division is a consequence of the following two relationships: growth, rather than progress through the DNA-division cycle, is normally rate-limiting for cell proliferation and a specific early event in G1 cannot be completed until a critical size is attained.

Uptake of cadmium and zinc by the alga Chlorella vulgaris: part 1. Individual ion species.
TL;DR: This work reports on the development of a quantitative model that addresses the basic mechanisms inherent in many uptake processes in algae and bacteria, and postulates two mechanisms: an initial rapid metal ion uptake due to attachment onto the cell wall followed by a relatively slow uptakeDue to membrane transport of the metal into the cell.

An assessment of the basis of mercury tolerance in Dunaliella tertiolecta
TL;DR: The specific growth rate of Dunaliella tertiolecta was unaffected by mercury II concentrations of at least 2.03 μg at/1. At this concentration, however, growth was largely uncoupled from division and giant cells were produced, probably due to the effect of mercury upon the production of methionine which is known to be implicated in the process of cell division.
