Isolation and Investigation of Natural Rare Earth Metal Chelating Agents From Calothrix brevissima - A Step Towards Unraveling the Mechanisms of Metal Biosorption

In this study water soluble compounds that form complexes with Rare Earth Elements (REE) and other metals were isolated from Calothrix brevissima biomass with chromatographic methods for the first time. Molecular characterization showed that the isolated compounds are most likely polysaccharides com...
