Inhibition of glycolate and D-lactate metabolism in a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutant deficient in mitochondrial respiration.

abstract：:As root symbionts of cycad trees, cyanobacteria of the genus Nostoc produce beta-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA), a neurotoxic nonprotein amino acid. The biomagnification of BMAA through the Guam ecosystem fits a classic triangle of increasing concentrations of toxic compounds up the food chain. However, because BMAA is ...
