Abstract
The use of seaweeds as immobilization supports for microorganisms was investigated in order to use the microbial species in fixed-bed reacto rs, for the accumulation of ionic cadmium. The seaweeds, as immobiliza tion support, also proved to participate in the biosorption process an d making it possible the use of microorganisms in the process.
