Article Synopsis
- Queuosine (Q) is a special change in a part of bacteria that helps them deal with certain stressors, but scientists don’t know much about what happens without it.
- In a study, a Q-deficient E. coli showed better resistance to nickel and cobalt but became more sensitive to cadmium compared to regular bacteria.
- The lack of Q also changed how the bacteria reacted to nickel and caused increased stress inside the cells, leading to problems with oxygen levels and making them more vulnerable to hydrogen peroxide and related stressors.
