Effective Factors and Molecular Mechanisms of Heavy Metal Bioremediation Using Cyanobacteria
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
The sustainability and non-biodegradability of heavy metals, on the one hand, and the increasing environmental pollution caused by industrial wastewater on the other hand have increased the attention to heavy metal remediation. Cyanobacteria are one of the most important agents of heavy metals removal in drought and aquatic environments. Their ability to remove metals is related to various mechanisms such as their high surface-to-volume ratio, the presence of functional groups with high affinity for binding to metals at their cell wall and exopolysaccharides, and efficient metal absorption and storage systems such as metallothioneins, the presence of enzymatic antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase) as well as non- enzymatic antioxidants (carotenoids, ascorbic acid, glutathione, and flavonoids). Various factors such as heavy metal concentration, pH, temperature, biomass concentration, and different ions could be effective on heavy metal bioremediation using cyanobacteria. This review article discusses the benefits of using cyanobacteria in heavy metal bioremediation and their molecular mechanisms of resistance to heavy metals.

Basic concepts on heavy metal soil bioremediation
The utilization of organisms, primarily microbes, to clean up contaminated soils, aquifers, sludges, residues, and air, known as “bioremediation”, is a rapidly changing and expanding area of environmental biotechnology, that offers a potentially more effective and economical clean-up technique than conventional physicochemical methods. Although it is certain that up to now the technologies empl...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of heavy metal hyperaccumulation and phytoremediation.
A relatively small group of hyperaccumulator plants is capable of sequestering heavy metals in their shoot tissues at high concentrations. In recent years, major scientific progress has been made in understanding the physiological mechanisms of metal uptake and transport in these plants. However, relatively little is known about the molecular bases of hyperaccumulation. In this paper, current p...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of heavy metal homeostasis in flies and humans
Metal-responsive transcription factor-1 (MTF-1) is an evolutionarily conserved zinc finger protein that activates transcription in response to heavy metals such as Zn(II), Cd(II) and Cu(I). The DNA-binding domain of MTF-1 recognizes a specific DNA sequence termed the metal response element (MRE), located in the promoter/enhancer region of its target genes. Here we show that human MTF-1 forms ho...
متن کاملBioremediation Of Heavy Metal Toxicity-With Special Reference To Chromium
All metals are toxic and our bodies require special transport and handling mechanisms to keep them from harming us. The toxicity occurs in humans due to environmental pollution via soil or water contamination or due to occupational exposure. Some of these metals are useful to us in low concentrations but are highly toxic in higher concentrations. These metal toxicity cause serious morbidity and...

Microbial solubilizing of metals in acid environments is successfully used in industrial bioleaching of ores or biomining to extract metals such as copper, gold, uranium and others. This is done mainly by acidophilic and other microorganisms that mobilize metals and generate acid mine drainage or AMD, causing serious environmental problems. However, bioremediation or removal of the toxic metals...
