A magnesium transporter is involved in the cesium ion resistance of the high-concentration cesium ion-resistant bacterium sp. TS-1.

Cesium ion (Cs) resistance has been reported in bacteria but is poorly understood as reports on Cs-resistant bacteria have been limited. We previously reported a novel Cs/H antiporter CshA implicated in Cs-resistance in sp. TS-1.

Novel Cesium Resistance Mechanism of Alkaliphilic Bacterium Isolated From Jumping Spider Ground Extract.

The radionuclide isotopes (Cs and Cs) of Cesium (Cs), an alkali metal, are attracting attention as major causes of radioactive contamination. Although Cs is harmful to the growth of plants and bacteria, alkaliphilic bacterium sp. TS-1, isolated from a jumping spider, showed growth even in the presence of 1.
