Arsenic accumulated in living Chlorella vulgaris cells was solvent-fractionated with chloroform/ methanol (2: l), and the fractions were analyzed for arsenic. A large part of the accumulated arsenic was localized in the extract residues. The extract residue from the same extraction of C. vulgaris,
The ability of algae and bacteria to accumulate heavy metals from the surrounding environment is a widely recognized phenomenon that has a number of important implications. This work reports on the development of a quantitative model that addresses the basic mechanisms inherent in many uptake proces
