Integrated transcriptomic and hormonomic insights into cadmium tolerance of a Euglena mutabilis fungal–algal–bacterial consortium
Emma Kaszecki, Zeynab Azimychetabi, R. J. Neil Emery, Barry J. SavilleGraphical Abstract
In a fungal-algal-bacterial consortium, cadmium-exposed Euglena mutabilis remains viable by sequestering cadmium in chloroplasts, accumulating paramylon and reprogramming metal transporter, photosynthetic and hormone pathways to coordinate whole-community metal detoxification.
