Km. Benderliev et Ni. Ivanova, DETERMINATION OF AVAILABLE IRON IN MIXTURES OF ORGANIC CHELATORS SECRETED BY SCENEDESMUS-INCRASSATULUS, Biotechnology techniques, 10(7), 1996, pp. 513-518
Scenedesmus incrassatulus releases many organic chelators in inorganic
medium which bind iron in two types of Fe species: hydroxylamine-stab
le and hydroxylamine-labile, as influenced by redox. Only hydroxylamin
e-stable Fe chelates are available for adsorption and uptake, independ
ently of the transporting molecules.
