Diversity and Distribution of Heavy Metal-Resistant Bacteria in Polluted Sediments of the Araça Bay, São Sebastião (SP), and the Relationship Between Heavy Metals and Organic Matter Concentrations
(2016-10-01)
Heavy metals influence the population size, diversity, and metabolic activity of bacteria. In turn, bacteria can develop heavy metal resistance mechanisms, and this can be used in bioremediation of contaminated areas. The ...
Heavy metal resistant strains are widespread along Streptomyces phylogeny
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2013-03)
The genus Streptomyces comprises a group of bacteria species with high economic importance. Several of these species are employed at industrial scale for the production of useful compounds. Other characteristic found in ...
The high risk of bivalve farming in coastal areas with heavy metal pollution and antibiotic-resistant bacteria: a chilean perspective
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
Anthropogenic pollution has a huge impact on the water quality of marine ecosystems. Heavy metals and antibiotics are anthropogenic stressors that have a major effect on the health of the marine organisms. Although heavy ...
Heavy metal resistance strategies of acidophilic bacteria and their acquisition: Importance for biomining and bioremediation
(2013)
Microbial solubilizing of metals in acid environments is successfully used in industrial bioleaching of ores or biomining to extract metals such as copper, gold, uranium and others. This is done mainly by acidophilic and ...
Resistência aos metais pesados em bactérias de importância médica isoladas de ambientes aquáticos no Brasil: uma revisão sistemática
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBrasilUFRNBiomedicina, 2017-12-05)
Some heavy metals are essential for extremely important metabolic reactions and are also required as trace elements by various organisms. Others heavy metals have no biological role and are harmful, even at very low ...
Heavy metal resistance mechanisms in actinobacteria for survival in AMD contaminated soils
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2005-09)
A site in the former uranium mining area of Eastern Thuringia near Ronneburg was investigated with regard to effects of acid mine drainage (AMD) on reactive transport and bioattenuation. Processes involved in this attenuation ...
Ethopoiésis e Heavy Metal: Subjetivação e consumo na cena de Natal-RN
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBRUFRNPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ciências SociaisDesenvolvimento Regional; Cultura e Representações, 2013-03-15)
Our research intends to comprehend the configuration of the resistance
(Foucault) as the stylization of life in the contemporary world, taking Heavy Metal as
the specific object of study. We believe that Heavy Metal is ...
Evaluation of heavy metal tolerance genes in plasmids harbored in multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli isolated from poultry in Brazil
(2019-07-01)
The emergence and spread of bacteria tolerant to heavy metal ions used in disinfectants have become a new threat to antimicrobial therapies. In this study, metal tolerance genes were analyzed in multidrug-resistant (MDR) ...
Antibiotic resistance and heavy metal tolerance plasmids: The antimicrobial bulletproof properties of escherichia fergusonii isolated from poultry
(2019-01-01)
We describe the mobilome of Escherichia fergusonii 40A isolated from poultry, consisting of four different plasmids, p46_40A (IncX1, 45,869 bp), p80_40A (non-typable, 79,635 bp), p150_40A (IncI1-ST1, 148,340 bp) and p280_40A ...
