Biofilms reveal the pollution released by a chlor-alkali plant
Biofilms living in reservoirs receiving effluents from an industry using electrode cells accumulate the released mercury and have their composition modified as a function of the level of mercury and salt contamination. These results are important to better understand the impact of that pollution on the trophic chain of these reservoirs.
