Article Synopsis
- Algae, which are autotrophic eukaryotic organisms, are vital in industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, and can help address pollution issues in ecosystems.
- This study evaluated the chemical compositions and characteristics of six river algae species from the Kharun River in India, noting varying concentrations of oil, polyphenols, flavonoids, minerals, carotenoids, and sterols.
- The research highlighted the potential of these algae to bioaccumulate trace elements, suggesting that some species could serve as bioindicators for monitoring environmental contamination, particularly for elements like phosphorus, cobalt, copper, lead, and iron.
