Abstract
In this investigation we studied the bioremediation of low quality water by algae, and the change that might take place in germination, growth and some related physiological activities of wheat and faba bean after being subjected to low quality water (drainage water and synthetic solution) and algal treated water. The highest removal percentage of heavy metals by almost algal biomass from four marine algal species i.e. Ulva lactuca, Pterocladia capillacea, Jania rubens and Corallina mediterranea at pH 5-7, 60 min and biomass dosage 40 g/L. U. lactuca., P. capillacea and J. rubens are good and efficient biosorbents for heavy metals from waste and low quality water.
Algal treatment of low quality water (drainage water and synthetic solution) enhanced and caused a stimulatory effect on the final percentage germination, different growth parameters of shoot, root and leaf, various pigment content (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids) and estimated metabolites (carbohydrates and protein) in wheat and faba bean plants and induced decrease in heavy metals concentration in their seeds.
