IMPACT OF HEAVY METAL POISONING ON CYANOBACTERIAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND ITS DETOXIFICATION-A REVIEW
Journal Title: Innoriginal: International Journal Of Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Cyanobacteria is a photosynthetic prokaryote, these obtain their energy through photosynthesis. In this review, we summarize the effect of heavy metals on cyanobacterial photosynthesis and its detoxification. Now a day’s metal contamination due to natural and anthropogenic sources is a global environment concern. Metals were affected the photosynthetic process like photosystem II complex, cytochrome b6f complex, photosystem I complex and ATP synthase, photosynthetic energy transfer process in cyanobacteria phycobilisomes. Here it is also mentioned heavy metal induced altered macromolecules metabolism and changes in the central dogma of life (DNA→ mRNA → Protein). And also recent advances have been made in understanding heavy metal-cyanobacteria interaction and their application for metal detoxification.
