Seaweeds as indicators and potential remediators of metal pollution

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Seaweeds, which together with corals create marvelous underwater formations playing with many colors, are photosynthesizing organisms producing a significant amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. Therefore, a decline in their populations would result in an adverse impact on the environment. The surface of these marine macroalgae contains various functional groups able to interact with metal ions and bulk or nanoscale metal particles. Some seaweed species showing a sensitive response to toxic metals reflected in a decline of population density connected with the inhibition of photosynthetic processes by reactive oxygen species generated by toxic metals could be used as biological indicators for detecting toxic metal pollution originating predominantly from anthropogenic activities in coastal marine communities. On the other hand, some seaweed species belonging mainly to brown algae (Phaeophyceae), Sargassum sp., which show a great rate of tolerance against toxic metals, could accumulate considerable metal amounts in their biomass and, consequently, could be applied for the removal of metals from the metal-contaminated environment. This chapter presents an overview of findings related to the photosynthetic processes in seaweeds and impact of toxic metals on these processes, the feasibility of seaweeds application as indicators of toxic metal pollution as well as the use of living and dead seaweed biomass as sorbents for phytoremediation purposes. Nutritional benefits of edible seaweeds are discussed as well.
