• Metalloproteins and metal sensing (2009, background): “Proteins have also evolved to use those metals that are, or at least once were, most accessibl”
• The Proterozoic Record of Eukaryotes (2015, background): “Eukaryotes depend on Zn for a variety of protein functions, and Zn is less bio available in the low oxygen conditions, and is thus presumed to have been low early in the Proterozoic (Saito et al. 2003).”
• Some thoughts on the concept of colimitation: Three definitions and the importance of bioavailability (2008, methodology): “Indeed, such a scenario of ecological warfare through metal ligand production may have evolved through geologic time between the prokaryotes (especially the cyanobacteria) and the eukaryotic phytoplankton, as we have previously outlined (Saito et al. 2003).”
• THE ROLE AND EVOLUTION OF SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASES IN ALGAE 1 (2005, background): “Indeed, given their phylogenetic trajectory and the variability of trace metals in aquatic ecosystems (Kremling and Streu, 2001; Whitfield, 2001; Anbar and Knoll, 2002; Sanudo-Wilhelmy et al., 2002; Saito et al., 2003; Seyler and Boaventura, 2003), algae”
• Zinc‐cobalt colimitation of Phaeocystis antarctica (2008, background): “…are the organisms that actually lack a Co-Zn substitution capability, as well as having an absolute requirement for Co but not for Zn (Sunda and Huntsman 1995; Saito et al. 2002), perhaps because of their evolution in an ancient ocean that was scarce in Zn and abundant in Co (Saito et al. 2003).”
