The metal bioabsorption potential and survival efficiency of aquatic
macrophyte
M. glabratus
was examined for the removal of Fe and Cu in presence of nitrate
and Phosphates.
M.glabratus removes Fe 10% more than Cu in case of bio-chemical and
physical responses the increment in fresh weight found 0.74% more in Fe treated plants than
Cu treated plants and in photosynthetic pigments there was 10% more increment was noted in
the plants treated with Fe. Bioabsorption of Fe was noted 18.9% more than Cu by
M.
glabratus. The results demonstrate that
M.glabratus can be utilized in the remediation
operations of aquatic systems
