Zinc Is Probably Not Accumulated as Zinc Sulfide, and Is Co-Released with Glutathione to the Culture Medium, in the Marine Alga Ulva compressa

The mechanisms involved in zinc (Zn) accumulation in response to a sulfur donor (NaHS) and a sulfur acceptor (hypotaurine) were analyzed in the marine alga Ulva compressa. The alga was cultivated with 10 μM of Zn, with 10 μM of Zn and increasing concentrations of NaHS for 0 to 7...
