• Sustainability and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae): facts and challenges (2011, background): “Substantial differences have been reported in the metal binding capacity of EPS- and non- EPS-producing cyanobacteria; EPS-producers are preferable (De Philippis et al. 2003).”
• Biosorption of zinc ions from aqueous solution by the microalga Scenedesmus obliquus (2011, background): “Sorption of heavy metals, using microorganisms as biosorbents, offers a potential alternative to conventional processing methods, mainly because of their low cost, strong metal binding capacity, high efficiency in dilute effluents and environment friendliness (Philips et al. 2003; Gupta and Rastogi ”
• Use of Algae for Removing Heavy Metal Ions From Wastewater: Progress and Prospects (2005, background): “However, presence of gelatinous capsule around cyanobacterial cell may slow down the diffusion rate of metal ions into the chelating matrix of cell wall (De Philippis et al., 2003).”
