Acidocalcisome deficiency impairs polyphosphate-mediated cadmium sequestration and causes persistent photosynthetic impairment in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Abstract excerpt

Cadmium (Cd) pollution represents a persistent environmental challenge because of its toxicity, mobility, and long-term accumulation in ecosystems. In microorganisms, intracellular compartmentalization plays an important role in heavy metal detoxification; however, the physiological consequences resulting from impaired sequestration remain poorly understood. In this study, we used the acidocalcisome-deficient...
