Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Phytochelatin Synthases Differ Less in Functional Terms Than Previously Thought: A Comparative Analysis of <i>Marchantia polymorpha</i> and <i>Geitlerinema</i> sp. PCC 7407

Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Phytochelatin Synthases Differ Less in Functional Terms Than Previously Thought: A Comparative Analysis of <i>Marchantia polymorpha</i> and <i>Geitlerinema</i> sp. PCC 7407

This paper reports functional studies on the enzyme phytochelatin synthase in the liverwort <i>Marchantia polymorpha</i> and the cyanobacterium <i>Geitlerinema</i> sp. strain PCC 7407. In vitro activity assays in control samples (cadmium-untreated) showed that phytochelatin s...
