biotransformation of mercury compounds by environmental microorganisms
forty bacteria species commonly found in soil, sediments, and sewage effluent were exposed for acclimation to inorganic and organic mercury compounds using sterilized sediments as the culture medium. screening tests for the ability of microorganisms to methylate inorganic mercury were made on all 40 species after acclimation to 13.5 mg/i mercuric chloride. additional screening tests for demethy...
متن کاملNickel uptake and utilization by microorganisms.
Nickel is an essential nutrient for selected microorganisms where it participates in a variety of cellular processes. Many microbes are capable of sensing cellular nickel ion concentrations and taking up this nutrient via nickel-specific permeases or ATP-binding cassette-type transport systems. The metal ion is specifically incorporated into nickel-dependent enzymes, often via complex assembly ...
متن کاملEnantioselective Utilization of D-Amino Acids by Deep-Sea Microorganisms
Microorganisms that utilize various D-amino acids (DAAs) were successfully isolated from deep-sea sediments. The isolates were phylogenetically assigned to Alphaproteobacteria, Gammmaproteobacteria, and Bacilli. Some of the isolates exhibited high enantioselective degradation activities to various DAAs. In particular, the Alphaproteobacteria Nautella sp. strain A04V exhibited robust growth in m...
متن کاملPathways of nitrogen utilization by soil microorganisms e A review
Microorganisms are able to utilize nitrogen (N) from a wide range of organic and mineral compounds. In this paper, we review the current knowledge about the regulation of the enzyme systems involved in the acquisition of N and propose a conceptual model on the factors affecting the relative importance of organic and mineral N uptake. Most of the N input into soil is in the form of polymers, whi...
متن کاملIndustrial and environmental applications of halophilic microorganisms.
In comparison with the thermophilic and the alkaliphilic extremophiles, halophilic microorganisms have as yet found relatively few biotechnological applications. Halophiles are involved in centuries-old processes such as the manufacturing of solar salt from seawater and the production of traditional fermented foods. Two biotechnological processes involving halophiles are highly successful: the ...
