Abstract
Cadmium accumulation from different solutions was studied with the use of three different microalgal strains. From these living microalgae, Chlorella homosphaera showed higher sorption capacity compared to Scen edesmus quadricauda and Chlorella vulgaris cells. Chlorella homosphaer a and Scenedesmus strains were significantly affected by the presence of the metal, being Chlorella vulgaris not affected by a higher concen tration (50 mg/l).
