Popis: Two strains of Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck isolated from two different sites in Laguna de Bay, Philippines, were studied for their resistance and ability to remove four metal ions, i.e., Cu2+, Cr6+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ added separately in BG-11 growth medium. The growth of the two strains was severely inhibited at 2 mg.L−1 of Cu2+, 5 mg.L−1 of Cr6+, 8 mg.L−1 of Pb2+, and 10 mg.L−1 of Cd2+. However, the two strains exhibited different EC50 values for the same metal ion. The WB strain had a significantly higher resistance (p
