The interaction between cadmium and iron in marine phytoplankton
This study examined the intracellular Cd content (Cd:C) of seven species of cultured phytoplankton under varying degrees of Fe-limitation. A significant increase in Cd:C ratios was observed for all species grown under Fe-limitation, with an average 2- fold increase in Cd quotas. The mechanism beh...
