Algae has potential to remediate heavy metals. However, the physiological responses of live algae to heavy metals are not well studied. In this study, the physiological responses of Microcystis aeruginosa to zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) ions and its ability to accumulate ions were investigated. Low concentrations ( less then 0.1 mg/l) of Zn and Cd had little influence on algal growth and physiological processes, whereas concentrations above 0.1 mg/l increased the esterase activity (from 42.5% to 621.9%), superoxide dismutase activity (f
