Abstract
The aquatic fungus Heliscus lugdunensis, occurring in a spring highly contaminated with heavy metal ions, expresses a metallothionein that is exclusively induced by Cd2Â + ions, which is unprecedented so far. Spectroscopic analyses reveal different coordination modes for Zn2Â + and Cd2Â + at a physiologically relevant concentration range.
