The effects of five metals, copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), Zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), on photosynthetic activity, measured as pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) chlorophyll fluorescence yield, was monitored in seven species of green, red and brown macroalgae over a 14d period. The 10μmoll −1 of Cr and Zn reduced chlorophyll fluorescence of all species by day 4, and 10μmoll −1 ...
The hypothesis, that metal toxicity is dominated by free ion activity, was tested by comparing calculated metal activities with measured toxic responses to a genetically modified, luminescent bacterium, Escherichia coli. The toxicity of Cd, Cu, and Zn sulphate salts in the presence of EDTA and fulvic acid in well-defined solutions was measured. Good agreement between free metal activity and toxicity...
