- Microalgal Biostimulants and Biofertilisers in Crop Productions (2019, background): “The mechanisms (extracellular and intracellular) linked with metal absorption are complex, and influenced by microalgal species, metal ion (Pb > nickel (Ni) > cadmium (Cd) > zinc (Zn)) and the growing system conditions (such as pH) [101,102].”
- The dual roles of phycoremediation of wet market wastewater for nutrients and heavy metals removal and microalgae biomass production (2016, background): “In contrast, others (Al3?, Sn2?, Au3?, Cd2?, Pb2?, Sr2?, Ti3? and Hg2?) have no essential biological function and are considered as toxic (Mcelwee et al. 2006; Nies 1999; Bashan and Bashan 2011; Rathnayake et al. 1999; Kumar et al. 2015).”
- Metal bioremediation by CrMTP4 over-expressing Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in comparison to natural wastewater-tolerant microalgae strains (2017, background): “have been identified that are tolerant to a range of metals and show high metal removal 64 abilities [2].”
- The Use of Microalgae and Cyanobacteria in the Improvement of Agricultural Practices: A Review on Their Biofertilising, Biostimulating and Biopesticide Roles (2021, background): “an increase in soils’ quality and fertility [7,8,98,100].”
- A review on mechanism and future perspectives of cadmium-resistant bacteria (2017, background): “…live transgenic microalgae into the environment could accumulate in the food chains through biogeochemical cycling of cadmium, which could be potentially toxic (Kumar et al. 2015); thus, the non-viable transgenic microalgae with significant binding and selectivity would be alternative strategy.”
