Abstract

As potassium ferrate(VI) is an important kind of water treatment agent which has a high efficiency in algal removal, its effects on the cell substance are rarely discussed. The changing of the protein and enzyme was analyzed here to deeply understand the oxidation of Fe on the protein in the algae. The result of the research showed the inactivation on growth and the biochemical process of the algal cell were all inhibited by Fe, including the function of the photosynthesis system. During the process, SOD (superoxide dismutase), CAT (catalase), POD (peroxidase), and GST (glutathione S-transferase) played cooperative roles to prevent the injury on the cells from destructive oxidation stress. The lipid peroxidation strengthened the defense system. The damage was intensified with the increase of ferrate concentration.
