Draft Genome Sequence of a Lanthanide-Responsive Bacterium, sp. Strain Ce-3.

We present the draft genome sequence of sp. strain Ce-3, which produced exopolysaccharide (EPS) and oxidized methanol in the presence of Ce. The genome for strain Ce-3 was estimated at 7,608,996 bp and showed that the strain is closely related to Bradyrhizobium erythrophlei MT12 and sp.

Regulation of lanthanide-dependent methanol oxidation pathway in the legume symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium Bradyrhizobium sp. strain Ce-3.

Lanthanide (Ln)-dependent XoxF-type methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) genes can be found in bacteria that are not believed to be methylotrophs, and studies on their methylotrophic pathways and their use of Ln are now emerging. Ln-dependent methanol utilization in Bradyrhizobium sp. strain Ce-3, which belongs to the Bradyrhizobium elkanii superclade (clade II), was investigated in this study.

Lanthanide-dependent methanol dehydrogenase from the legume symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens strain USDA110.

The legume symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium, B. diazoefficiens strain USDA110, utilizes methanol for growth in the presence of light lanthanides, such as La, Ce, Pr or Nd, and its cells possess significant methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) activity. We purified MDH to homogeneity from B.

Molecular structure and gene analysis of Ce3+ -induced methanol dehydrogenase of Bradyrhizobium sp. MAFF211645.

The molecular structure and nucleotide sequence of Ce(3+)-induced methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) of Bradyrhizobium sp. MAFF211645 were investigated. The addition of 30 μM Ce(3+) to 1/10 nutrient broth containing 0.

Ce³+-induced exopolysaccharide production by Bradyrhizobium sp. MAFF211645.

Ce³+, a rare earth element (REE), has been widely used in high-technology industries. Despite the importance of Ce³+ in the fields of chemistry and physics, the role of Ce³+ in biology has been ignored. To investigate physiological effects of Ce³+ on microorganisms, we screened microorganisms that showed peculiar growth in the presence of Ce³+.
