A comparative study of iron uptake mechanisms in marine microalgae: iron binding at the cell surface is a critical step.
We investigated iron uptake mechanisms in five marine microalgae from different ecologically important phyla: the diatoms Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Thalassiosira pseudonana, the prasinophyceae Ostreococcus tauri and Micromonas pusilla, and the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi. Among these species, only the two diatoms were clearly able to reduce iron, via an inducible (P. tricornutum) or c...
متن کاملEffects of Alpha-Lipoid Acid on Serum Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity and Hematological Indices in β-Thalassemia Major Patients: A Cross Over Clinical Trial
Background and Objectives: Accumulation of iron is the most common consequences of repeated blood transfusions in β-thalassemia major patients. Iron chelating effects of alpha-lipoic acid have been reported by several studies. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of supplementation with alpha-lipoic acid, as a chelator, on serum iron and hematological indices in these patients. Ma...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Potential Probiotic Vibrio sp. V33 Antagonizing Vibrio Splendidus Based on Iron Competition
Background：Vibrio splendidusVs is an important aquaculture pathogen that can infect a broad host of marine organisms. In our previous study, an antagonistic bacterium Vibrio sp. V33 that possessed inhibitory effects on the growth and virulence of a pathogenic isolate V.splendidusVs was identified. O...
متن کاملStudy of the Binding of Iron and Indium to Human Serum Apo-Transferrin
Indium is a heavy metal belonging to group IIIa. It is believed that indium may interfere with iron metabolism from the sites of absorption, transportation, utilization and storage in the cells. The present investigation was established to study and compare the binding of iron and indium to human apo-transferrin (apo-tf). Pure human apo-tf was used and the binding activity of iron and indium, a...
متن کاملSurface-bound iron: a metal ion buffer in the marine brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus?
Although the iron uptake and storage mechanisms of terrestrial/higher plants have been well studied, the corresponding systems in marine algae have received far less attention. Studies have shown that while some species of unicellular algae utilize unique mechanisms of iron uptake, many acquire iron through the same general mechanisms as higher plants. In contrast, the iron acquisition strategi...
