Metal accumulation and impacts in phytoplankton

  • Chapter
Metal Metabolism in Aquatic Environments

Abstract

This chapter examines processes that regulate and influence trace element uptake, accumulation, transformation, release and toxicity in natural aquatic systems. Phytoplankton are efficient accumulators of most reactive elements. Many inorganic compounds, including most metals, are involved in the oxidative and reductive reactions that comprise cellular metabolism. Some elements are required in small quantities but are toxic in larger quantities. Although materials associated with phytoplankton behave in a manner somewhat similar to particulates, incorporation of a toxic compound markedly affects the compound’s transport through aquatic ecosystems. Toxic com-pounds may also pass to successively higher trophic levels through interactions between predators and their prey.
