Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the bioaccumulation and toxic effects of trivalent chromium (CrIII) and hexavalent chromium (CrVI) on two rotifer species, Brachionus calyciflorus and Lecane quadridentata.
- Results indicate that CrVI is significantly more toxic than CrIII, with lethal concentrations (LC50) being much lower for CrVI in both rotifer species.
- The research shows that Cr accumulates in intoxicated rotifers, affecting their elemental composition, and suggests that L. quadridentata's tougher structure may provide a protective barrier against CrVI, while B. calyciflorus is more vulnerable due to its softer structure.
