As part of my PhD. studies, I focus on studying the effects of selected metals (Cd and Cu) on freshwater algae with a primary focus on their reciprocal effects on these organisms. I study the phytotoxicity of individual metals as well as metals in their reciprocal combination at the physiological (coenobia growth, cell size change) as well as biochemical level (photosynthetic pigments, parameters of oxidative stress, accumulation of selected metals, etc.). Through my research I will try to clarify the further use of algae in the framework of bioremediation techniques.
