A role for manganese in superoxide dismutases and growth of iron‐deficient diatoms (2004, background): “…of the photosynthetic electron carrier proteins plastocyanin (Cu containing) with cytochrome c6 (Fe containing) in Chlamydomonas (Merchant and Bogorad 1986), and the replacement of Zn-carbonic anhydrase in T. weissflogii with Cd- or Co-containing isoforms when Zn is low (Lane and Morel 2000).”
Functions and Homeostasis of Zinc, Copper, and Nickel in plants (2005, background): “This may apply for cobalt (Co), which is currently considered a beneficial element (Marschner 1995), and cadmium (Cd), which acts as the cofactor of a carbonic anhydrase isoform produced under Zndeficient conditions in the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii (Lane and Morel 2000).”
Cadmium stress affects seed germination and seedling growth in Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench by changing the activities of hydrolyzing enzymes (2008, background): “With the exception of Cdcarbonic anhydrase of marine diatoms (Lane and Morel 2000), no biological function in plants has been ascribed to Cd till date, and hence it is unlikely that metal transporters with specificity for Cd exist.”
Conducting Ecological Risk Assessments of Inorganic Metals and Metalloids: Current Status (2003, background): “Some metals (e.g., Fe, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, Cr, Ni, V, Cd) are essential for biotic health of all or at least some organisms (e.g., Cd is essential to certain marine diatoms — Lane and Morel 2000), thus there is a threshold for both deficiency and excess, resulting in a bimodal dose-response.”
Effects of iron limitation on intracellular cadmium of cultured phytoplankton: Implications for surface dissolved cadmium to phosphate ratios (2009, background): “Increased Cd:P ratios at low CO2 concentrations are believed to linked to the replacement of Zn by Cd in carbonic anhydrase (Cullen et al., 1999; Lane and Morel, 2000; Cullen and Sherrell, 2005).”
The effects of heavy metals on human metabolism (2019, background): “In order to ensure that humans are protected from the adverse effects of heavy metals, especially heavy metals in drinking water, international organizations have developed standards for the use of each individual metal (Lane and Morel 2000).”
The significance of amino acids and amino acid-derived molecules in plant responses and adaptation to heavy metal stress. (2006, background): “Other metals, for example, Cd and Pb, have no known function in plants although a Cd requirement for carbonic anhydrase from marine diatoms has been reported (Lane and Morel, 2000).”
Issues in Ecological Risk Assessment of Inorganic Metals and Metalloids (2000, background): “Examples of some essential trace elements and their functions (Stumm and Morgan, 1996; Butler, 1998; Lane and Morel, 2000).”
