  abstract = {{B}isphenol {A} ({BPA}) effects and removal by an alkaliphilic chlorophyta, {P}icocystis, were assessed. {BPA} at low concentrations (0-25 mg {L}-1) did not inhibit the {P}icocystis growth and photosynthesis during 5 days of exposure. {A}t higher {BPA} concentrations (50 and 75 mg {L}-1), the growth inhibition did not exceed 43%. {T}he net photosynthetic activity was dramatically reduced at high {BPA} concentrations while, the {PSII} activity was less affected. {T}he exposure to increasing {BPA} concentrations induced an oxidative stress in {P}icocystis cells, as evidenced by increased malondialdehyde content and the over-expression of antioxidant activities (ascorbate peroxydase, gluthation-{S}-transferase and catalase). {P}icocystis exhibited high {BPA} removal efficiency, reaching 72% and 40% at 25 and 75 mg {L}-1 {BPA}. {BPA} removal was ensured mainly by biodegradation/biotransformation processes. {B}ased on these results, the extended tolerance and the high removal ability of {P}icocystis make her a promising specie for use in {BPA} bioremediation.},
