Abstract:

In a set of pilot experiments, the ability of two species of cattail (Typha latifolia and T. angustifolia) to remove or metabolize organic xenobiotics from waste water was tested. Rapid uptake of pharmaceuticals and xenobiotics into the rhizome tissue was observed. Under the influence of xenobiotics and medicaments, strong inductive effects on enzyme activity were observed, especially on the activity of glutathione S-transferase and peroxidase. These stimulating effects on the detoxification capacity could foster the use of Typha for waste water treatment.
