Article Synopsis
- Bioremediation of Cd (cadmium) contaminated environments can be enhanced by using plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), such as Burkholderia contaminans ZCC, which was isolated from mining soil and shows high resistance to cadmium.
- The genomic analysis revealed that B. contaminans ZCC has unique heavy metal resistance traits due to the presence of specific genes on plasmids, allowing it to tolerate cadmium and other metals more effectively than other strains.
- Additionally, B. contaminans ZCC displays beneficial traits for plant growth, like promoting root development and nutrient availability, and can help soybean plants grow in soils with high cadmium levels, making it a potential tool for bioremediation efforts.
Electrochemically active bacteria (EAB) use extracellular electron transfer (EET) to exchange electron with extracellular acceptors. Previous studies regarding the measurement of EAB were based on either extracellular reduction or oxidation. In this work, we developed a simple electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay for the identification and detection of EAB.

Most attention has been paid to the biorecovery process occurring intracellularly and on the cell surface. In this work, we report that Pd nanorods could be biosynthesized by Enterobacter cloacae SgZ-5T in the extracellular space.
