Abstract:Heavy metal pollution in aquatic ecosystem is a serious issue of concern. It can harm both aquatic organisms and biodiversity. Studies revealed that bryophytes especially mosses can effectively accumulate heavy metals Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn. These heavy metal accumulation inturn pose effect on chlorophyll content in them. This work aimed at the comparative study of bioaccumulation of heavy metals – Cd, Cu, Pb & Zn in two aquatic mosses Taxiphyllum barbieri ( Java moss) and Vesicularia montagnei (Christmas moss ) and their chlorophyll content variations in response to heavy metal build up. Plant materials were collected and grown in polluted water, from Eloor industrial area . Then the heavy metals are detected and quantified by standard test for water. Chlorophyll content in mosses were also quantified. It is observed that, mosses which were grown in polluted water get accumulated with Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn at different rates and amount of chlorophyll content also varied with respect to heavy metal deposition.. Heavy metal accumulation and chlorophyll content in both Java moss and Christmas moss are negatively correlated. This study will pave the way for application of T.barbieri and V. montagnei for effective removal of heavy metals from the polluted water.
