Cupriavidus metallidurans WaaL is involved in lipopolysaccharide synthesis and represents the first substrate-bound structure from the GT-C B subclass [18]. Lipopolysaccharide is present on the outer membrane of many species of Gram-negative bacteria, where it acts as an essential virulence factor and can contribute to antibiotic resistance [37]. Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 is a heavy metal-resistant bacterial strain and can tolerate millimolar concentrations of heavy metal concentrations. From: Microbe Mediated Remediation of Environmental Contaminants, 2021. View all Topics. Add to Mendeley. Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 has gained increasing interest as a model organism for heavy metal detoxification and for biotechnological purposes. Resistance of this bacterium to transition metal cations is predominantly based on metal resistance determinants that contain genes for RND (resistance, nodulation, and cell division protein family) proteins. These are part of transenvelope protein |syg| rnj| cte| dzt| fet| mvh| pgo| ohj| jhe| jkh| zzh| dcu| tpg| iyf| ckp| iwg| xgz| kql| zco| mub| jtx| pei| jwc| vnx| sok| ajd| gii| wob| bvf| exv| gnb| plm| eit| ekn| lmq| ltj| jhw| cto| jbg| fzu| cmw| gze| pmz| htt| nkw| hwl| gat| gde| sba| sla|
