Metabolic Responses, Uptake, and Export of Copper in Cyanobacteria

Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for cyanobacteria, where it functions as a cofactor in key proteins involved in photosynthesis and antioxidant defense. However, at elevated concentrations, Cu becomes toxic, exhibiting algicidal effects by disrupting metal homeostasis and competing for meta...
