Abstract

The effect of increasing the temperature of Mytilus edulis by 10 °C is to increase the rate of 65Zn uptake. If the temperature is oscillated through this range there is a further enhancement of metal uptake. The effect is associated with a decrease in cytosol metal and an increase in granular fractions. These unexpected results are interpreted in terms of cellular metal-ligand homeostasis.
