Abstract

Toxic metals are among the most important chemical pollutants of aquatic environments. Interaction of copper and other toxic metals with biomass of algae is of interest to modern ecology and biotechnology. In this paper, interactions of the biomass of a unique extremophilic (acidophilic, thermophilic) algae Galdieria sulphuraria with copper and other metals in the aquatic environment were studied. This unicellular extremophilic, acidophilic eukaryotic organism is found in hot springs and geothermal habitats. In this paper, results of experiments with the biomass and mortmass of this organism are reported. Measurements were made using the method of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP- MS). Biosorption of copper and some other metals by the biomass of this organism was discovered after incubation in an aquatic medium mingled with these metals. Biosorption (immobilization) of lead and nickel from the aquatic environment was not found out. In experiments with the mortmass of Galdieria sulphuraria no sorption of copper and lead was revealed. The results obtained are useful to develop a new biotechnology for removal of toxic metals from water.
