ANION ACCUMULATION BY LICHENS
Abstract
S ummary Phosphate and sulphite competed effectively with arsenate when samples of Umbilicaria muhlen‐bergii (Ach.) Tuck, were incubated in arsenate solutions in the presence of increasing concentrations of the second anion. Equimolar amounts of phosphate had no effect on arsenate uptake while an 100‐fold excess of the former caused almost complete cessation of arsenate uptake. By contrast, sulphate enhanced arsenate uptake by lichen samples …
