Twenty four strains out of 191 marine microalgal strains exhibited cadmium (Cd) resistance. They were tested for their Cd removal ability in growth media containing 50 μM Cd. Six strains out of 19 green algae and one out of five cyanobacteria removed more than 10% of total Cd from the medium.

Anthropogenic pollution of marine ecosystems, including rivers, bays, estuaries, and other
coastal areas, is a major global environmental issue requiring immediate attention. Ongoing
efforts by researchers at research institutions and universities worldwide have indicated that
use of large-scale algae populations could possibly provide new and cost-effective technologies
for sequestering and preventing dissemination of waterborne pollutants.

Algae have many uses, Treating sewage, Phyto-remediation of polluted lakes and rivers, Biodiesel, food for fish and shrimp. Nualgi is a mircro nutrient that boosts growth of algae
