Cadmium accumulation and DNA homology with metal resistance genes in sulfate-reducing bacteria

Article Abstract:

Cadmium resistance and presence of genetic determinants for metal resistance in sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) was studied. Protein homology with known heavy metal-translocating ATPases was detected in the cloned amplified DNA of Desulfomicrobium norvegicum I1 and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans DSM 1926, suggesting the presence of multiple genetic mechanisms of metal resistance.

Genome sequence of the cellulolytic gliding bacterium Cytophaga hutchinsonii

Article Abstract:

The complete DNA and genome sequence of the aerobic cellulolytic soil bacterium Cytophaga hutchinsonii that belongs to the phylum Bacteroidetes is studied. The bacterium is found to have cellobiohydrolases or other enzymes that facilitate the efficient cellulose digestion exhibited by it.
