Degraded Phenalene Metabolites In Eichhornia Crassipes

Natural Product Letters, 1993
Abstract Five naphthalenedicarboxylic acids have been isolated from the aquatic plant Eichhornia crassipes. The structures 1–5 have been attributed to their permethyiated derivatives on the basis of their spectroscopic features. A biogenetic correlation to phenalenes is suggested.

Bioconcentration and Phytotoxicity of Cd in Eichhornia crassipes

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2006
Plants of Eichhornia crassipes grown at various levels of cadmium ranging from 0.1 to 100 microg ml(-1) accumulated Cd in a concentration and duration dependent manner. At all levels, Cd accumulation by various plant tissues followed the order roots shoot leaves.

Effects on Eichhornia crassipes under Zn stress

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
Eichhornia crassipes is a macrophyte widely used in phytoremediation, demonstrating a high ability to remove metals from water. The aim of this work was to evaluate its enzymatic detoxification strategies and metal accumulation when it is exposed to different Zn concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6, and 9 ppm) for periods of 24, 48, and 72 h. Zn concentration in

Aquatic macrophytes and Eichhornia crassipes

1982
Munro (1966) defined the shoreline habitats of Lake McIlwaine in terms of the presence or absence of aquatic macrophytes, and the major species of macrophyte where the plants were present. Relatively few areas of the lake shore were free of macrophytes (Fig.

Evapotranspiration of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)

Journal of Hydrology, 1974
Abstract From water balance measurements near the Agricultural Experiment Station at Paramaribo and on the Brokopondo Lake, the evapotranspiration of water hyacinth appeared to be respectively 48% and 44% higher than the free water evaporation. These values are much lower than could be expected based upon values given in the literature.

Variation in the elemental content of Eichhornia crassipes

Hydrobiologia, 1971
The elemental composition of E. crassipes falls within the range of elemental values reported for other aquatic and terrestrial plants. Concentrations of macronutrients in water hyacinth biomass were not correlated with environmental levels of these nutrients. E. crassipes produces large, dense stands and dominates biogeochemical cycles in many aquatic

A bioactive benzoindenone from Eichhornia crassipes solms

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 1991
Abstract The structure 2,5-dimethoxyl-4-phenyl-benzoindenone (1) has been attributed to a metabolite from Eichhornia crassipes on the basis of its spectroscopic properties. The compound was proved to inhibit the growth of the fungus Candida albicans.

Phytoremediation of heavy metals by Eichhornia crassipes

The Environmentalist, 2007
Eichhornia crassipes was tested for its ability to bioconcentrate 8 toxic metals (Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) commonly found in wastewater from industries. Young plants of equal size were grown hydroponically and amended with 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 mM of each heavy metal individually for 21 days.
