Metal transporters are a central component in the interaction of algae with their environment.
They represent the first line of defense to cellular perturbations in metal concentration, and …

As in all organisms, metal cations are crucial for nutrition in plants. Several metals, such as
copper, iron, zinc, and manganese, act as important cofactors for many enzymes and are …

Transition metal transporters are of central importance in the plant metal homeostasis
network which maintains internal metal concentrations within physiological limits. An …

Trace metals exist in a variety of redox states and coordination species which markedly
influences their geochemical behavior and biological availability. Most exist in natural …

The specific transport of metal ions, mediated by membrane-localized metal transporters, is
of fundamental importance in all eukaryotes. Genome-wide analysis of metal transporters …

The algae are a diverse assemblage of phototrophic organisms, ranging in size from
unicells less than 1 µm in diameter to certain thalloid marine forms with a length of over 50 …

We investigated the presence of plasmalemma‐bound copper‐containing oxidases
associated with the inducible iron (Fe) transport system in two diatoms of the genus …

Traces of metal are required for fundamental biochemical processes, such as
photosynthesis and respiration. Cyanobacteria metal homeostasis acquires an important …

Iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), magnesium (Mg), and copper (Cu) are essential cofactors for the
operation of the oxygenic photosynthetic electron transfer apparatus. The overall metal …
