AI Article Synopsis
- * Researchers isolated two cadmium-resistant strains identified as Bacillus cereus and Enterobacter cloacae, assessing their characteristics through various methods.
- * E. cloacae exhibited greater resistance to heavy metals and a broader range of antibiotic resistance compared to B. cereus, highlighting its potential for bioremediation.
Article Abstract
This study focused on the screening of cadmium-resistant bacterial strains from Pb-Zn tailing. We investigated the diversity of microbial community inhabiting Dong-san-cha Pb-Zn tailing in Beijing, China, by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of 16S rRNA gene of bacterial strain, and found two dominant strains in the DGGE profile. Using special culture media, we isolated two strong cadmium-resistant bacterial strains. On the basis of morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics, BIOLOG, and 16S rDNA sequencing, the two strains were identified as Bacillus cereus and Enterobacter cloacae. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of heavy metals for the bacteria were determined. E. cloacae showed higher MIC values for heavy metals and a larger range of antibiotic resistance than B. cereus.

Industrial workplaces, particularly those involved in ore processing or smelting, pose a high risk of exposure to cadmium, a highly toxic metal. This study isolated and identified eight cadmium-resistant strains from industrial wastewater for their ability to resist cadmium. Enterobacter roggenkampii FACU2 demonstrated exceptional cadmium removal capabilities during our analysis, successfully eliminating 62% of the cadmium.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the genus Thermus, which includes organisms found in hot natural and artificial environments, specifically analyzing strains from thermal springs in Tibet and Yunnan, China.
- Phylogenomic and comparative genomic analyses were conducted on sixteen Thermus strains that revealed five distinct species and a potential new species, with high genomic similarity among strains yet subtle metabolic differences.
- The research also identified robust defense mechanisms against viruses in these strains and highlighted their heterotrophic lifestyle, with variations in their denitrification pathways and confirmation of complete metabolic pathways for energy production.

Heavy metal accumulation increases rapidly in the environment due to anthropogenic activities and industrialization. The leather and surgical industry produces many contaminants containing heavy metals. Cadmium, a prominent contaminant, is linked to severe health risks, notably kidney and liver damage, especially among individuals exposed to contaminated wastewater.
