Copper and Temperature Interactions Induce Differential Physiological and Metal Exclusion Responses in the Model Brown Macroalga <i>Ectocarpus</i> by Alex Santillán-Sarmiento, Paula S. M. Celis-Plá, A. John Moody, Claudio A. Saez, Murray T. Brown

“…In this study, we exposed the model brown seaweed <i>Ectocarpus</i> to different Cu concentrations (0, 0.8, 1.6, and 3.2 μM) at two different temperatures (15 and 25 °C). Relative growth rates decreased at 25 °C for the two highest Cu concentrations after 8 days of exposure, but a contrasting pattern was observed in the photosynthetic maximum quantum yield (<i>F_v</i>/<i>F_m</i>) and photosynthetic efficiency (<i>α</i>), where reductions were observed at 15 °C for the same Cu concentrations. …”
