Transport of cadmium ions and its complexes with LMWOAs across phospholipid bilayer

On model solutions of cadmium and selected LMWOAs (oxalic, malic or citric acid) transport conditions in the rhizosphere can be studied within the artificially prepared phospholipid bilayer membrane on the polycarbonate support. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is used to monitor the formation and stability of phospholipid membrane, whereas voltammetric methods can detect species, which are transferred across the membrane.
