Histidine Protects Against Zinc and Nickel Toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Zinc is an essential trace element involved in a wide range of biological processes and human diseases. Zinc excess is deleterious, and animals require mechanisms to protect against zinc toxicity. To identify genes that modulate zinc tolerance, we performed a forward genetic screen for Caenorhabditis elegans mutants that were resistant to zinc toxicity. Here we demonstrate that mutations of the...
متن کاملEffect of iron limitation on photosynthesis in a marine diatom
The response of the marine diatom Phaeodactylum ,tricornutum to Fe deficiency was evaluated in the context of fundamental physiological models of growth and photosynthesis. Fe deficiency induced chlorosis, which decreased Chl a : C ratios and Chl a-specific light-saturated photosynthesis (P,“). In contrast to Pme, (Ye was slightly increased under Fe deficiency, and photosynthesis in Fedeficient...
متن کاملDiatom cells grown and baked on a functionalized mica surface.
We demonstrate the cultivation of diatom cells on a functionalized mica surface and the preparation of frustules on a mica surface by baking. Diatom cells were successfully grown on a mica surface treated with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. After baking at 400 degrees C for 2 h, frustule structures without the organic components of the diatom cells were successfully observed by scanning electron...
متن کاملAmmonium Toxicity and Potassium Limitation in Yeast
DNA microarray analysis of gene expression in steady-state chemostat cultures limited for potassium revealed a surprising connection between potassium and ammonium: potassium limits growth only when ammonium is the nitrogen source. Under potassium limitation, ammonium appears to be toxic for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This ammonium toxicity, which appears to occur by leakage of ammonium through ...
متن کاملZinc Toxicity in Rats
The evaluation of the nutritional quality of foods and feeds requires a more definite knowledge of the physiological role of the various micro nutrient inorganic elements in the animal body than is now available. Problems of immediate concern include the effects of one or more of these elements on the utilization of another, for example the effect of traces of arsenic in reducing the toxicity o...
