Simple Experiments with Portulaca Oleracea Cv. for High School Students to Study Phytoremediation

Abstract

Portulaca (Portulaca oleracea cv.) is a popular floricultural herbal plant, and has a high ability in phytoremediation of various organic contaminants. The roots of portulaca rapidly excrete the peroxidase enzymes into the hydroculture medium. Taking these advantages of portulaca, the experiments for high school students to study phytoremediation were designed, and evaluated in the class activities by 15 second grade high school students.
