Lead (Pb2+) adsorption characteristics and sugar composition of capsular polysaccharides of cyanobacterium Calothrix marchica
The ability of living cells of the cyanobacterium Calothrix marchica to adsorb Pb2+ was studied. C. marchica showed high efficiency to remove Pb2+. The desorbing agent, EDTA could effectively desorb Pb2+from cyanobacterial cells, suggesting that Pb2+ was mainly adsorbed on the cell surface, presumab...
