What makes a heavy metal resistant bacterium heavy metal resistant? The mechanisms of
action, physiological functions, and distribution of metal-exporting proteins are outlined …

Hydrogenases (H2ases) catalyze the reversible oxidation of molecular hydrogen and play a
central role in microbial energy metabolism. Most of these enzymes are found in Archaea …

One of the major challenges in using electrical energy is the efficiency in its storage. Current
methods, such as chemical batteries, hydraulic pumping, and water splitting, suffer from low …

Formate can be directly produced from CO 2 and renewable electricity, making it a
promising microbial feedstock for sustainable bioproduction. Cupriavidus necator is one of …

Hydrogenases are essential for H2 cycling in microbial metabolism and serve as valuable
blueprints for H2-based biotechnological applications. However, most hydrogenases are …

This Handbook on Metalloproteins focuses on the available structural information of proteins
and their metal ion coordination spheres. It centers on the metal ions indispensable for life …

Chromosomally acquired streptomycin resistance is frequently due to mutations in the gene
encoding the ribosomal protein S12, rpsL. The presence of several rRNA operons (rrn) and …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a class of carbon and energy storage polymers
produced by numerous bacteria in response to environmental limitation. The type of polymer …

ABSTRACT The Czc system of Ralstonia sp. strain CH34 mediates resistance to cobalt, zinc,
and cadmium through ion efflux catalyzed by the CzcCB2A cation-proton antiporter. The …

Oxidation of molecular hydrogen catalyzed by [NiFe] hydrogenases is a widespread
mechanism of energy generation among prokaryotes. Biosynthesis of the H2-oxidizing …
