TL;DR: It is shown that propane metabolism generated terminal and sub-terminal oxidation products such as 1- and 2-propanol, whereas 1-butanol was the only terminal oxidation product detected from n-butane metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical-Chemical Properties of Biogenic Selenium Nanostructures Produced by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia SeITE02 and Ochrobactrum sp. MPV1.
Elena Piacenza,Alessandro Presentato,Emmanuele Ambrosi,Adolfo Speghini,Raymond J. Turner,Giovanni Vallini,Silvia Lampis +6 more
TL;DR: This study offers novel insights into the formation, localization, and release of biogenic SeNS generated by two different Gram-negative bacterial strains under aerobic and metabolically controlled growth conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Resistance Genes and Response to Arsenic in Rhodococcus aetherivorans BCP1.
Andrea Firrincieli,Alessandro Presentato,Alessandro Presentato,Giusi Favoino,Rosita Marabottini,Enrica Allevato,Silvia Rita Stazi,Giuseppe Scarascia Mugnozza,Antoine Harfouche,Maurizio Petruccioli,Raymond J. Turner,Davide Zannoni,Martina Cappelletti +12 more
TL;DR: This work provides for the first time insights into the arsenic resistance mechanisms of a Rhodococcus strain, revealing some of the unique metabolic requirements for the environmental persistence of this bacterial genus and its possible use in bioremediation procedures of toxic metal contaminated sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Bacterial Physiology on Processing of Selenite, Biogenesis of Nanomaterials and Their Thermodynamic Stability.
Elena Piacenza,Alessandro Presentato,Marta Bardelli,Silvia Lampis,Giovanni Vallini,Raymond J. Turner +5 more
TL;DR: It is explored how Ochrobactrum sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhodococcus aetherivorans BCP1 as cell factory for the production of intracellular tellurium nanorods under aerobic conditions.
Alessandro Presentato,Elena Piacenza,Max Anikovskiy,Martina Cappelletti,Davide Zannoni,Raymond J. Turner +5 more
TL;DR: The high resistance of BCP1 to TeO32− along with its ability to produce Te-nanostructures supports the application of this microorganism as a possible eco-friendly nanofactory.
