Project description:Enterobacter sp. Z1 showed resistance to arsenic and selenium. We found that strain Z1 showed increased selenium reduction when we added arsenite, so the purpose of this project is to clarify how arsenite effects the selenium reduction of strain Z1.
Project description:Enterobacter sp. Z1 showed resistance to antimony and strong ability to produce antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) minerals. Thus, so the purpose of this project is to clarify mechanism of the biomineralization in strain Z1.
Project description:Members of the genus Acinetobacter drag attention due to their importance in microbial pathology and biotechnology. OmpA is a porin with multifaceted functions in different species of Acinetobacter. In this study we identified this protein in Acinetobacter sp. SA01, an efficient phenol degrader strain, in different cellular and sub-cellular compartments (such as OM, OMV, biofilm and extracellular environment). Differential expression of proteins, including OmpA, under two conditions of phenol and ethanol supplementation was assessed using shotgun proteomics.
