Abstract
⸠A decontamination study was conducted on biofilms to assess their recovery potential. ⸠After a colonisation in a polluted site, biofilms were translocated to a metal-free site. ⸠Metal decontamination occurred between 3 and 9 weeks respectively for Zn and Cd. ⸠After 3 weeks, diatom teratologies decreased and community biovolumes increased. ⸠The restructuration of diatom community was estimated complete after 9 weeks.
