Abstract

Heavy metals (HMs) and detergents in aquatic ecosystems which is the result of untreated wastewater being discharged both through the sewage systems and non-regulated industries were accumulated. Some pollutants such CAPB and HEDP as detergents (at D1 and D2 levels) and Mn2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ as HMs (at M1 and M2 levels) can affect photosynthetic activity of brown algae. Brown algae Polycladia myrica is a major source of Fx, a photosynthetic component and a very valuable aquatic carotenoid with strong antioxidant properties. The impact of different concentrations of CAPB and HEDP as detergents and Mn2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ on Fx yield and phycoremediation potential of P. myrica was determined under controlled laboratory conditions after 60 days. The results showed that the Fx yield of P. myrica at different levels of binary mixture of HEDP and CAPB (7.5–15 ppm), increased by 64% and decreased by 1.26% compared to the control, respectively. With increasing of HMs in aqueous environs, an incredible decline in Fx yield was observed at M1 (−32%) and M2 (−66%) levels, but at M1–D1, M1–D2, M2–D1 and M2–D2 with presence of CAPB and HEDP harness HMs toxicity, so that Fx depletion was 11%, 12%, 40% and 51% relative to the control, respectively. Also, the phycoremediation potential of P. myrica against Mn2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ suggest that planting P. myrica as brown seaweed in marine and ocean ecosystems can be as an efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective biological method for removing household and industrial pollutants from seawater.
