The essential role of nickel, toxicity manifestation and plasma membrane mediated avoidance and biochemical defense strategies are also discussed. Sections have been especially devoted to the antioxidant response to the metal and explaining the toxicity of nickel on cynobacteria and ends with some important remedial measures against the metal.
