Abstract

Effect of nickel at low levels on chlorophycean alga and a diatom was studied. A
comparative study of the growth parameters made on both the microalgae showed
that divalent nickel retarded the growth of algae at the higher concentration used
even though low test concentrations had a stimulatory effect. It was found that
nickel toxicity is related to the presence of divalent nickel and can be influenced
by environmental factors.
