Antimony (Sb) pollution poses a severe health threat to ecosystems. However, the toxic effects of Sb on biota are far from being elucidated. One of the unresolved questions is the molecular signal pathways underlying microbial adaptation to excess antimonite or Sb(III) exposure. The response of a Sb(III)-resistant bacterium Acinetobacter. johnsonii JH7 to Sb(III) stress was investigated using genomic and proteomic profiling. Sb(III) induced the formation of reactive oxygen species thereby leadin ...[more]
