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 …

Oceanic phytoplankton species have highly efficient mechanisms of iron acquisition, as they
can take up iron from environments in which it is present at subnanomolar concentrations. In …

Pteris vittata exhibits enhanced arsenic uptake, but the corresponding mechanisms are not
well known. The prevalent form of arsenic in most soils is arsenate, which is a phosphate …

Microplastics are one of the major pollutants in aquatic environments. Among their
components, Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most abundant and dangerous, leading to …

Diatoms are one of the most successful group of photosynthetic eukaryotes in the
contemporary ocean. They are ubiquitously distributed and are the most abundant primary …

Numerous cellular functions including respiration require iron. Plants and phytoplankton
must also maintain the iron-rich photosynthetic electron transport chain, which most likely …

Light-driven recombinant protein (RP) production in eukaryotic microalgae offers a
sustainable alternative to other established cell-culture systems. RP production via secretion …

Iron is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, and it is essential for life. Despite the
abundance of iron, its chemistry leads to very limited bioavailability, which has resulted in …

Iron is extremely abundant in the soil, but its uptake in plants is limited due to low solubility in
neutral or alkaline soils. Plants can rely on rhizosphere acidification to increase iron …
