| dc.description.abstract | Copper uptake in free and immobilized cells of the cyanobacterium Nostoc calcicola has been examined. The immobilized cells invariably maintained a higher profile of Cu intake rate (12.7 nmol mg−1 protein min−1) over the free cells (6.0 nmol mg−1 protein min−1). The total Cu uptake in immobilized cells was almost two and a half-times more than their free cell counterpart under identical experimental conditions. Also, the immobilized cells showed a stronger positive correlation between Cu adsorption and uptake. The results have been discussed in terms of improved metabolic efficiency of immobilized cells. | en_US |
