  abstract = {{T}he effects and the removal efficiency of bisphenol {A} ({BPA}) on two extremophilic {C}hlorophyta strains, an alkaliphilic {P}icocystis and a thermophilic {G}raesiella, were assessed. {BPA} was shown to inhibit the growth and photosynthesis of both species, but to a greater extent for {G}raesiella. {T}he growth {IC}50 (4 days) was 32 mg {L}-1 for {G}raesiella and higher than 75 mg {L}-1 for {P}icocystis. {O}xidative stress was induced in both strains when exposed to increasing {BPA} concentrations, as evidenced by increased malondialdehyde content. {BPA} exposure also resulted in an over-expression of antioxidant activities (ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione {S}-transferase and catalase) in {P}icocystis whereas they were repressed in {G}raesiella. {B}oth species exhibited high {BPA} removal efficiency, reaching 72% for {P}icocystis and 52.6% for {G}raesiella at 25 mg {L}-1. {BPA} removal was mostly attributed to biodegradation for both species. {O}verall, according to its extended tolerance and its removal capacity, {P}icocystis appeared to be a promising species for the {BPA} bioremediation even at high contamination levels.},
