Heavy metal (HM) contamination of water bodies is a serious global environmental problem.
Because they are not biodegradable, they can accumulate in food chains, causing various …

Algal lipid metabolism fascinates both scientists and entrepreneurs due to the large diversity
of fatty acyl structures that algae produce. Algae have therefore long been studied as …

The proficiency of microalgae to resist heavy metals has potential to be beneficial in
resolving various environmental challenges. Global situations such as the need for cost …

Excess carbon footprint is one of the major environmental issues of this decade. Microalgae
have emerged as promising biomass feedstock for carbon-neutral fuels as a replacement of …

Microorganisms play a dominant role in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients. They are
rightly praised for their facility for fixing both carbon and nitrogen into organic matter, and …

In plants, iron (Fe) transport and homeostasis are highly regulated processes. Fe deficiency
or excess dramatically limits plant and algal productivity. Interestingly, complex and …

In this work, we query the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii copper regulon at a whole-genome
level. Our RNA-Seq data simulation and analysis pipeline validated a 2-fold cutoff and 10 …

Transition metal deficiency has a strong impact on the growth and survival of an organism.
Indeed, transition metals, such as iron, copper, manganese and zinc, constitute essential …

The present review describes and discusses key interactions between mercury (Hg) and
phytoplankton to highlight the role of phytoplankton in the biogeochemical cycle of Hg and to …

Background Selenium is a trace element performing important biological functions in many
organisms including humans. It usually affects organisms in a strictly dosage-dependent …
