▪ Abstract Because it is very toxic and accumulates in organisms, particularly in fish, mercury
is an important pollutant and one of the most studied. Nonetheless we still have an …

Planktonic uptake of some essential metals results in extraordinarily low concentrations in
surface seawater. To sequester or take up these micronutrients, various microorganisms …

In this review, we summarize the important recent findings relating to arsenate respi‐ration
by bacteria. A brief discussion of freshwater arsenic cycling is provided, with attention placed …

… Dzombak and François MM Morel have accomplished the imposing task of producing a
coherent and consistent thermodynamic interpretation of sorption reactions on hydrous iron (III) …

Presents aquatic chemistry in a way that is truly useful to those with diverse backgrounds in
the sciences. Major improvements to this edition include a complete rewrite of the first three …

The formation of calcareous skeletons by marine planktonic organisms and their subsequent
sinking to depth generates a continuous rain of calcium carbonate to the deep ocean and …

A review of the available information on global Hg cycling shows that the atmosphere and
surface ocean are in rapid equilibrium; the evasion of Hg 0 from the oceans is balanced by the …

The oceanic distribution of cadmium follows closely that of major algal nutrients such as
phosphate. The reasons for this “nutrient-like” distribution are unclear, however, because …

The primary mechanisms controlling the accumulation of methylmercury and inorganic mercury
in aquatic food chains are not sufficiently understood. Differences in lipid solubility alone …

… We used F v /F m as a proxy for the physiological status of the cells during the experiments
(… photosynthesizing efficiently as evidenced by their high maximum quantum yields (F v /F m ). …
