Myriophyllum

Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is reduced by the aquatic plant Myriophyllum spicatum to ami-nodinitrotoluenes (Pavlostathis et al. 1998) and, in axenic root cultures of Catharanthus roseus, the initial metabolites 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene and 4-amino-2,6-dintrotoluene...

Regarding submerged plants, sorption of Cu(II) by Myriophyllum spicatum L. (Eurasian water milfoil) has been shown to be fast and fits isotherm models such as Langmuir, Temkin, and Redlich-Peterson. The maximum sorption capacity (c/lll l j ) of copper onto M. spicatum L. was 10.80 mg/g, while the overall sorption process was best described by the pseudo-second-order equation.115 Likewise, Hydrilla verticillata has been described as an excellent biosorbent for Cd(II). In batch conditions, the qmsx calculated was 15.0 mg/g. Additionally, II. verticillata biomass was capable of decreasing Cd(II) concentration from 10 to a value below the detection limit of 0.02 mg/L in continuous flow studies (fixed-bed column). It was also found that the Zn ions affected Cd(II) biosorption.116...
