Spirulina Platensis is non toxic blue green algae which is filamentous cyanobacteria taken by the human dietary supplement and use it as a food. Spirulina platensis is a biomass which is dried form of Arthrospira platensis. These Blue-green algae are the primary diet of human, animals and aquatic life because it is easily digested due to lack of the cell wall. Spirulina platensis has been found naturally in ponds and lakes (Lake Chad). Spirulina platensis has been demonstrated for its ability to absorb heavy metal from water sample [1]. The present study was focused on using fresh and aged Spirulina platensis in absorbing Mercuric chloride from the self-adulterated water sample. Spirulina platensis was cultivated for two weeks, fresh Spirulina platensis was isolated along with a nutrient deprived Spirulina platensis. The analysis was made by comparing the activity of Spirulina platensis on the basis of Mercuric absorption from self adulteration of – (a) fresh versus aged strains. Their efficacy in absorbing Mercuric Chloride was studied by ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy. The result demonstrated- appreciable amount of Mercuric Chloride was reduced from the water sample rendering bioremediation capacity to Spirulina platensis.
