THE INVESTIGATION OF MARINE ALGAE DOMINANT SPECIES RESISTANCE TO HEAVY METALS

Abstract

Threshold and lethal concentration of Hg, Cd, Pb and Cu had been evaluated for dominant species of marine micro-algae. Algae with high specific surface are the most sensitive to the metal action. There are resilience species surviving at long range between low threshold and high lethal level of metal and conserving growth after toxic stress. Resistance species could survive at high threshold and high lethal metal concentration. The ratio of sensitive and resistant micro-algae to heavy metals can be used for marine water quality monitoring.
