Dissimilatory metal reduction by the facultative anaerobe Pantoea agglomerans SP1

Article Abstract:

Results show that Pantoea agglomerans SP1 is a facultative anaerobe capable of growing by reducing iron (III), manganese (IV) and other metals. Data further indicate that coupling the oxidation of acetatate or hydrogen to metal reduction is widespread in the bacteria living in the suboxic sedimentary environments.

cumA multicopper oxidase genes from diverse Mn(II)-oxidizing and non-Mn(II)-oxidizing Pseudomonas strains

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the multicopper oxidase gene cumA from Pseudomonas putida strain GB-1. The ability of the Pseudomonas genus to oxidize Mn(II) has been investigated via the phylogenetic analyses of CumA and 16S rRNA sequences from Mn(II)-oxidizing and non-Mn(II)-oxidizing strains.
