Résumé

We show that concentration in ambient well-buffered water, the bioavailability of dissolved Cd decreased or increased due to biologically-mediated chemical changes in the boundary layer of planktonic cells under different physiological conditions. For instance, decreased Cd bioavailability can result from a decrease in the free Cd2+ concentration in the boundary layer, resulting from deprotonation of metal-binding ligands induced by local pH enhancement as a consequence of algal release of HO. The observations of increased Cd bioavailability were probably due to an enhancement of the free Cd2+concentration in the boundary layer, resulting from chemical oxidation of metal-binding ligands (e.g., cysteine) by oxidants released by the algal cells. Note that there is no uptake of intact cysteine-Cd complexes. The results highlight the importance of biologically-mediated surface processes (e.g., redox and pH changes), in addition to other well-known abiotic processes, in determining metal bioavailability.
