Fluorometric response of photosynthetic microorganism consortium as potential bioindicator for heavy metals detection in water
This paper reports the fluorometric responses of photosynthetic microorganism consortium in the detection of heavy metals (Cu and Cd). The consortium was collected from natural water body, and then exposed to different concentration of heavy metals. The response was measured based on the fluorescenc...
