Bioremediation with Daphnia. (A) Removal efficiency of known concentrations of 16 pharmaceuticals (ng/L) by bacteria (blue), algae (orange), and Daphnia (gray). (B) Abatement of an industrial chemical (PFOS; μg/L), a biocide (atrazine; mg/L), and a heavy metal (arsenic; mg/L) by four strains of Daphnia resurrected from a sedimentary archive with different historical environmental backgrounds: LRV0_1 (2015), LRV8.5_3 (1985), LRV12_3 (1955), and LRII36_1 (1900) (ref (26)). The abatement of chemicals is shown after 48 h of exposure and compared to a control—spiked medium without Daphnia (control).
