Because of their ubiquitous or even invasive nature, their bioaccumulation capacity, and their resilience in a polluted environment, duckweeds are widely studied in phytoremediation (Ekperusi et al., 2019), especially the species L. gibba and L. minor (Mkandawire and Dudel, 2007). Duckweeds are known for their cold tolerance property (they can grow in all seasons), whereas water hyacinth (P. crassipes) can survive only in summer. Duckweeds can also propagate over wide pH range (Raskin et al., 1994). The biomass production of duckweed is rapid and it is largely used for exploiting the phytoremediation process when compared to other aquatic plants (Cunningham and Berti, 1993; Raskin et al., 1994; Salt et al., 1998).
