IMPACT OF HEAVY METAL POISONING ON CYANOBACTERIAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND ITS DETOXIFICATION
Abstract
Cyanobacteria is a photosynthetic prokaryotes, these are 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 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.ÂReferences
