    • Highlights ► Chromium VI severely affects cell growth, ultrastructure and photosynthesis. ► Micrasterias deposits Cr in bag like structures as Cr–iron–oxygen compound. ► Increase in Cr content leads to a depletion of intracellular iron levels. ► Cr detoxification possibly involves glutathione.
