TL;DR: Findings suggest that the algal cell surface may be considered as the biotic ligand in further development of a chronic BLM with microalgae as well as the possibility of using concentration-response data to estimate conditional metal-cell binding constants.

TL;DR: Toxicity testing using a freshwater alga, a bacterium and a cladoceran exposed to copper in synthetic and natural freshwaters of varying hardness demonstrated negligible hardness effects, suggesting that the algorithm used for assessing the toxicity of copper to these, and other, sensitive freshwater species, is not recommended.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a rapid Chelex resin method, diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) and anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) to detect the fraction of total copper that is reactive over biologically relevant timescales.

TL;DR: Solid-state NMR studies on EAS hydrophobin fibrils reveal direct evidence of a partial molecular rearrangement on assembly and an ordered β-sheet-rich core in the context of a whole protein in this functional amyloid.

TL;DR: The use of harvested, non-growing algal biomass to support bacterial sulfate reduction was investigated in this article, where two genera of green algae, strains N9 and A3, were isolated from treatment cells from the Artificial Wetland Filter at the Ranger uranium mine (Northern Territory, Australia).
