TLDR
Iodide is the preferred chemical species of iodine for uptake under nitrate‐replete conditions: iodide accumulation rates ranged from 3 to 90 times larger than those for iodate for the species studied, suggesting that phytoplankton‐mediated iodate reduction is not environmentally significant.Abstract:
Several marine phytoplankton species, primarily diatoms, were examined for the accumulation of iodide (10 species) and iodate (9 species) using radioactive iodine-125 in f/2 artificial seawater, a nitrate-enriched medium. Iodide accumulation (net uptake) rates were variable, and diatoms exhibited the highest rates. Emiliania huxleyi and Synechococcus sp. did not accumulate iodide. Accumulation rates ranged from 0 to 1.7 fmol cell21 d21. The diatom Porosira glacialis accumulated the greatest amount of iodide and was used to determine efflux rates of iodide. Iodide efflux was characterized by two distinct phases of iodide release: an initial rapid release rate of 10 amol cell21 min21 from the free space and a subsequent cellular release rate of 0.13 amol cell21 min21, which corresponds to a daily cellular release rate of 0.19 fmol cell21 d21. Accumulation of iodate ranged from 0 to 19 amol cell21 d21, with P. glacialis displaying the highest rate. Emiliania, Synechococcus, and Chaetoceros did not show significant iodate accumulation. Iodide is the preferred chemical species of iodine for uptake under nitrate-replete conditions: iodide accumulation rates ranged from 3 to 90 times larger than those for iodate for the species studied. If the iodate accumulated is tightly coupled to its reduction to iodide, the accumulation rates suggest that phytoplankton-mediated iodate reduction is not environmentally significant. If diatoms can reduce iodate to iodide, their overall contribution to surface-water iodide, while living, would be further reduced because of their ability to reassimilate released iodide. Inorganic iodine exists in disequilibrium in surface seawater as iodide and the thermodynamically favored form, iodate (Wong 1991). The relatively high concentration of iodide in temperate coastal waters and subtropical– tropical waters is thought to be related to biological productivity (Wong 2001; Wong et al. 2002; Chance et al.read more

Iodine and human health, the role of environmental geochemistry and diet, a review
TL;DR: Iodine is an essential element in the human diet and a deficiency can lead to a number of health outcomes collectively termed iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) as mentioned in this paper, however, the major zone of marine influence generally stretches to only 50-80 km inland and terrestrial sources of volatilised iodine, from wetlands, soils and plants are also an important aspect of its global geochemical cycle.

TL;DR: I2 mixing ratios of up to 12.4 pptv were measured 10 m above the sea ice, and up to 31pptv was observed above surface snow on the nearby Brunt Ice Shelf.

Transformation of iodate to iodide in marine phytoplankton driven by cell senescence
TL;DR: In all species, except for the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Scrippsiella trochoidea, iodide production commenced in the stationary growth phase and peaked in the senescent phase of the algae, indicating that iodine production is connected to cell senescence, which suggests that iodate reduction results from increased cell permeability.

TL;DR: The methods suffice for the most fastidious algae now routinely cultivable, and simplifications indicated for less demanding species are easily made; for example, omission of silicate for plants other than diatoms.

TL;DR: Polycarbonate Nuclepore filters are better than cellulose filters for the direct counting of bacteria because they have uniform pore size and a flat surface that retains all of the bacteria on top of the filter.
