Copper removal efficacy and stress tolerance potential of sp. GUEco1015.

Cyanobacteria, a group of microalgae are the potent organism having the ability to survive in the copper rich environment and recently gained too much attention for their profuse proliferation in such water bodies. Amongst the members of cyanobacteria, the current study was conducted on sp. GUEco1015, collected from hydrocarbon rich water bodies of Assam, India.

Effect of crude oil contamination on the chlorophyll content and morpho-anatomy of Cyperus brevifolius (Rottb.) Hassk.

Chlorophyll plays a pivotal role in the plant physiology and its productivity. Cultivation of plants in crude oil contaminated soil has a great impact on the synthesis of chlorophyll pigment. Morpho-anatomy of the experimental plant also shows structural deformation in higher concentrations.
