Also, the heading for column 7 was missing “h-1”. A corrected Table 1 follows.

a Cells in stationary phase except for Cosmarium, 3 and 4 days (exponential phase). To assist the reader in better understanding the column labels, the following explanations are added. amol/cell ) attomoles of MeHgCl taken up by each cell. SD ) standard deviation. amol ng-1 h-1 nM-1 ) attomoles of MeHgCl taken up per nanogram of algae per hour per nanomolar concentration of MeHgCl in solution. amol g-1 h-1 ) attomoles of MeHgCl taken up per gram of algae per hour. b Filamentous algae; not able to calculate per cell value. c Data reported by cell age. d Cell weights expressed as dry weights.
