The concern regarding alternate sources of energy is mounting day-by-day due to the effect
of pollution that is damaging the environment. Algae are a diverse group of aquatic …

Copper, a native metal found in ores, is the principal metal in bronze and brass. It is a
reddish metal with a density of 8920 kg m− 3. All of copper's compounds tend to be brightly …

Due to significant lipid and carbohydrate production as well as other useful properties such
as high production of useful biomolecular substrates (eg, lipids) and the ability to grow using …

It would not have been possible for me to write the three editions of this book without a
double dose of extraordinary fortune: to have been part of the Woods Hole scientific …

Many metals (aluminum, cadmium, cobalt, copper, nickel, lead, zinc) are widely studied
environmental contaminants because of their ubiquity, potential toxicity to aquatic life, and …

During recent years, the biotic ligand model (BLM) has been proposed as a tool to evaluate
quantitatively the manner in which water chemistry affects the speciation and biological …

Organotin compounds are ubiquitous contaminants in the environment. The high biological
acitivity of some compounds toward aquatic organisms lead to deleterious impacts in …

The physiological characteristics of the environmental interface of organisms determine the
metal forms of highest bioavailability. Studies of metal uptake from solution by aquatic …

The culture medium Aquil has been designed for studying trace metal physiology in algae.
We describe recent modifications in the preparation of Aquil and discuss processes that …

Large spatial and temporal differences in both trace metal concentrations and chemical
speciation in the sea have led to wide variations in biological availability of metals and their …
