Modification of cell volume and proliferative capacity of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata cells exposed to heavy metal stress

The impact of metals (Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn) on growth, cell volume and cell division of the freshwater alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata exposed over a period of 72 h was investigated. The algal cells were exposed to three nominal concentrations of each metal: low (closed to 72 h-EC10 values), inter...
