Background: Cupriavidus strain STM 6070 was isolated from nickel-rich soil collected near Koniambo massif, New Caledonia, using the invasive legume trap host Mimosa pudica. STM 6070 is a heavy metal-tolerant strain that is highly effective at fixing nitrogen with M. pudica.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Dora Vasileva Marinova"

  • - Dora Vasileva Marinova's recent research primarily focuses on the genomic characteristics of heavy metal-tolerant bacterial strains, specifically targeting their resistance mechanisms and symbiotic relationships with plants.
  • - In her 2020 article, she investigated the genome of Cupriavidus neocaledonicus STM 6070, a newly identified species that exhibits heavy metal resistance and nitrogen-fixing capabilities while associating with the legume Mimosa pudica.
  • - The findings highlight the presence of novel heavy metal resistance gene clusters within the bacterial genome, indicating potential bioremediation applications in environments contaminated with metals like nickel.
