Genome Deletions and Rewiring of the Transcriptome Underlying High Antimonite Resistance in sp. SMAs-55.

Microbes have been shown to adapt to stressful or even lethal conditions through displaying genome plasticity. However, how bacteria utilize the ability of genomic plasticity to deal with high antimony (Sb) stress has remained unclear. In this study, the spontaneous mutant strain SMAs-55 of sp.

Iodate reduction by marine aerobic bacteria.

Iodate reductase (Idr) gene cluster ( ) is involved in bacterial iodate (IO ) respiration under anaerobic conditions. Putative gene clusters are present in both anaerobic and aerobic bacteria; however, the specific physiological roles of genes in aerobic bacteria remain unclear. Therefore, in this study, three marine aerobic bacteria with putative gene clusters (, , and ) were grown in the presence of iodate to determine whether they can reduce iodate to iodide (I).

Draft genome sequence of sp. DVR, an actinobacterium of the family isolated from soil in Japan.

sp. strain DVR is an actinobacterium of the family isolated from soil in Japan. Here we report the draft genome sequence of strain DVR.

Identification of bacterial dissimilatory antimonate reductase AnrA: genes and proteins involved in antimonate respiration and resistance in sp. strain SVR.

sp. strain SVR uses antimonate [Sb(V)] as a terminal electron acceptor for anaerobic respiration. Here, we visualized a possible key enzyme, periplasmic Sb(V) reductase (Anr), via active staining and non-denaturing gel electrophoresis.

Corrigendum: Iron corrosion concomitant with nitrate reduction by sp. nov. isolated from iodide-rich brine associated with natural gas.
