Extract

Little is known about the occurrence of gallium in the biosphere. The first recorded instance of its detection in a living organism is due to Cornec (1919), who detected the element in Laminaria sp. Vinogradov (1935) suspected its presence in an undetermined gorgonian, but his statement that Zvinden had detected it in human tissue appears to be an erroneous citation (Hutchinson, 1943). Bertrand (1941) detected the element in oysters, and, after chemical concentration, in human urine.
