Journal ArticleDOI
Deinococcus geothermalis sp. nov. and Deinococcus murrayi sp. nov., Two Extremely Radiation-Resistant and Slightly Thermophilic Species from Hot Springs
Ana Cristina Ferreira,M. Fernanda Nobre,Fred A. Rainey,Manuel T. Silva,Robin Wait,Jutta Burghardt,Ana Paula Chung,Milton S. da Costa +7 more
TL;DR: 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that the isolates constitute two species and that these species are distinct from the other species of the genus Deinococcus, and that the fatty acids of these new species are primarily branched-chain fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Diversity in a Nonsaline Alkaline Environment: Heterotrophic Aerobic Populations
TL;DR: Although 38 different populations were identified and characterized, the vast majority of the populations were alkali tolerant, and only two strains were able to grow at pH 11.4, despite the pH of the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Chromate-Inducible chrBACF Operon from the Transposable Element TnOtChr Confers Resistance to Chromium(VI) and Superoxide
Rita Branco,Rita Branco,Ana Paula Chung,Tatiana Johnston,Volkan Gurel,Paula V. Morais,Anatoly Zhitkovich +6 more
TL;DR: The transposon-located (TnOtChr) chromate resistance genes from the highly tolerant strain Ochrobactrum tritici 5bvl1 surviving chromate concentrations of >50 mM were identified in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alicyclobacillus hesperidum sp. nov. and a related genomic species from solfataric soils of São Miguel in the Azores.
Luciana Albuquerque,F A Rainey,F A Rainey,Ana Paula Chung,Anwar Sunna,M F Nobre,Ralf Grote,Garabed Antranikian,M S da Costa +8 more
TL;DR: On the basis of the phylogenetic analysis, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and fatty acid composition the name Alicyclobacillus hesperidum is proposed for the species represented by strains FR-11T and FR-1b; a formal name for the new genomic species represented in these organisms is not proposed at this time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequencing and expression of two arsenic resistance operons with different functions in the highly arsenic-resistant strain Ochrobactrum tritici SCII24T
TL;DR: A new strategy for bacterial arsenic resistance is described in this work, and two operons involved in arsenic resistance, one giving resistance to arsenite and antimonite and the other giving Resistance to arsenate were found in the same bacterial strain.
