Abstract

Bioaccumulation potential of In vitro regenerated plants of Ceratophyllum demersum against Chromium – A lab study

Highlights

  • Heavy industrialization in the 20th century in both developed and underdeveloped countries lead to accumulation of heavy metal to the environment (Fu and Wang, 2011) and water (Sadik et al, 2015)

  • The application of hyperaccumulator aquatic plants are highly significant for the cleaning of water bodies contaminated with wide arrays of pollutants like heavy metals

  • There are number of aquatic plants which are recommended for phytoremediation studies like C. demersum (Chen et al, 2015; Dogan et al 2018), Lemna minor and Lemna gibba (Sasmaz et al, 2016)

Summary

Introduction

Heavy industrialization in the 20th century in both developed and underdeveloped countries lead to accumulation of heavy metal to the environment (Fu and Wang, 2011) and water (Sadik et al, 2015). The water bodies all over the world are more prone to heavy metal contaminants due to release of heavy metals to aquatic environment especially in under developed countries where, violation of rules and lack of resources are main hinders to overcome this issue. Phytoremediation is one of the popular, ecofriendly and cost-effective system used for cleaning water and soil (Ali et al, 2013; Cao et al, 2017) This system has been reported for bioremediation of water bodies or aquatic environment (Harguinteguy et al, 2016; Xu et al, 2019) using submerged aquatic plants (Thiébaut, 2012) like C. demersum L. This study will open the window for using such type of plants under natural ecological environments
