Chelatins in Euglena gracilis and Ochromonas danica. 1985

E Piccinni, and O Coppellotti, and L Guidolin

Amino acid analysis was performed on low molecular weight copper binding proteins purified from two species of Protozoa after exposure to a high level of this metal. The compound from Ochromonas is similar to Cu-chelatins. The two peptides from Euglena have a different molecular weight and a very dissimilar amino acid composition. Peptide No. 1 has a peculiar composition with a high content of aspartic acid and arginine. Some speculations are made about its detoxification role in comparison with other compounds found in blue-green algae.

D000458 Cyanobacteria A phylum of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria comprised of unicellular to multicellular bacteria possessing CHLOROPHYLL a and carrying out oxygenic PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Cyanobacteria are the only known organisms capable of fixing both CARBON DIOXIDE (in the presence of light) and NITROGEN. Cell morphology can include nitrogen-fixing heterocysts and/or resting cells called akinetes. Formerly called blue-green algae, cyanobacteria were traditionally treated as ALGAE.

D056890 Eukaryota One of the three domains of life (the others being BACTERIA and ARCHAEA), also called Eukarya. These are organisms whose cells are enclosed in membranes and possess a nucleus. They comprise almost all multicellular and many unicellular organisms, and are traditionally divided into groups (sometimes called kingdoms) including ANIMALS; PLANTS; FUNGI; and various algae and other taxa that were previously part of the old kingdom Protista.
