Journal ArticleDOI
Genetically modified plants in phytoremediation of heavy metal and metalloid soil and sediment pollution
TL;DR: A broad overview of the evidence supporting suitability and prospects of transgenic research in phytoremediation of heavy metals and metalloids is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS) in carbohydrate uptake and control of carbon metabolism.
TL;DR: The findings that recently advanced the understanding of various aspects of PTS-dependent carbohydrate transport and regulation of bacterial catabolism are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Bioaccumulation of Heavy Metal Ions by Bacterial Cells Due to Surface Display of Short Metal Binding Peptides
TL;DR: Considering the cooperation of cell structures with inserted peptides, the relative affinities of metal binding peptide and, for example, the cell wall to metal ion should be taken into account in the rational design of peptide sequences possessing specificity for a particular metal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel roles for genetically modified plants in environmental protection
TL;DR: The role that the next generation of GM plants might play in preventing and reducing chemical contamination and in converting contaminated sites into safe agricultural or recreational land is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metalloadsorption by Escherichia coli cells displaying yeast and mammalian metallothioneins anchored to the outer membrane protein LamB.
TL;DR: expression of the hybrid proteins in vivo multiplied the natural ability of E. coli colicells to bind Cd2+ 15- to 20-fold, in good correlation with the number of metal-binding centers contributed by the MT moiety of the fusions.
