Abstract excerpt
Information about the molecular mechanisms of metal transport in algae is scarce, despite the significant status these organisms have in aquatic ecosystems. In the present study, we describe the cloning and functional characterization of a divalent metal transporter (named DMT1) in the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard. The longest open reading frame of the cloned DMT1 cDNA encodes a protein of...
