Analyzing Copper Dependent Growth Behaviors in Anabaena azollae Strasburger, an Autochthonous Cyanobacterial Species of Assam | Chapter 4 | Research Perspectives of Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 1

Copper (Cu) is considered as an essential micronutrient that is required in minute quantity for proper functioning of physiochemical reactions in the body of an organism. This microelement plays a significant role during growth and development in plants through different cellular processes. Although, if present in higher quantities can result in toxic effects. Current study was undertaken to view the effect of different ppm concentrations of Cu (II) ions upon the growth and biochemical parameters of Anabaena azollae. Results have disclosed that exposure to a high concentration of Cu causes an evidential effect in growth and biochemical parameters in the test organism.
