  10. Overexpression of OLE1 Enhances Cytoplasmic Membrane Stability and Confers Resistance to Cadmium in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • The heavy metal cadmium is widely used and released into the environment, posing a severe threat to crops and humans. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most commonly used organisms in the investigation of environmental metal toxicity. We investigated cadmium stress and the adaptive mechanisms of yeast by screening a genome-wide essential gene overexpression library. A candidate gene, OLE1, encodes a delta-9 desaturase and was associated with high anti-cadmium-stress activity.

  11. Biochemical and Genetic Bases of Indole-3-Acetic Acid (Auxin Phytohormone) Degradation by the Plant-Growth-Promoting Rhizobacterium Paraburkholderia phytofirmans PsJN [Biodegradation]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Several bacteria use the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) as a sole carbon and energy source. A cluster of genes (named iac) encoding IAA degradation has been reported in Pseudomonas putida 1290, but the functions of these genes are not completely understood. The plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterium Paraburkholderia phytofirmans PsJN harbors iac gene homologues in its genome, but with a different gene organization and context than those of P. putida 1290.

  21. Hydrolysis of nitriles by soil bacteria: Variation with soil origin

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aims

      The aim of the current study was to explore the bacterial soil diversity for nitrile biocatalysts, in particular those for hydrolysis of β-substituted nitriles, to the corresponding carboxamides and acids that may be incorporated into peptidomimetics. To achieve this we needed to compare the efficiency of isolation methods and determine the influence of land use and geographical origin of the soil sample.
