Stenotrophomonas maltophilia SeITE02, a new bacterial strain suitable for bioremediation of selenite-contaminated environmental matrices

Article Abstract:

Biochemical and proteomic tools are used for examining the mechanism of action of a new Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain, a gammaproteobacterium capable of resistance to high concentrations of selenite, reducing it to nontoxic elemental selenium under aerobic conditions. Selenite has induced the expression of at least two different glutathione (GSH)-related enzymes that are responsible for the biosynthesis of this compound in prokaryotes.

Characterization of extended-host-range pseudo-T-even bacteriophage Kpp95 isolated on Klebsiella pneumoniae

Article Abstract:

Characterization of a lytic bacteriophage Kpp95 isolated on Klebsiella pneumoniae is presented. Phylogenetic analyses based on the sequences of the central region of the major coat protein (gp23) and the full length of gp18 and gp19 has placed Kpp95 among the pseudo-T-even subgroup.

Isolation and characterization of novel giant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia phage phiSMA5

Article Abstract:

The phiSMA5 is one of many distinct groups of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia phages that were isolated from the clinical samples, including patient specimens, wastewater and catheter-related devices. The isolation and characterization of phiSMA5 are described.
