Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a chelator of metal ions.
It is a substituted diamine, which has antibacterial activity.
EDTA removes the undesirable effects of ferric, cupric and manganic ions in bleaching.
It prevents cellular division, chlorophyll synthesis and algal biomass production.
Field Note
