Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a clinical isolate of the uropathogenic strain Escherichia coli KL53. A total of 5,083,632 bp was de novo assembled into 170 contigs containing 89 RNAs and 5,034 protein-coding genes. Remarkable is the presence of the tellurite resistance (ter) operon on a plasmid.

In this work, we report the near-infrared emission properties of Tm(3+)-Er(3+) codoped tellurite TeO(2)-WO(3)-PbO glasses under 794 nm excitation. A broad emission from 1350 to 1750 nm corresponding to the Tm(3+) and Er(3+) emissions is observed. The full width at half-maximum of this broadband increases with increasing [Tm]/[Er] concentration ratio up to a value of ~ 160 nm. The energy transfe...

Fiber laser sources operating near 2300 nm in the atmospheric transparency window are interesting for different applications, such as remote sensing, lidars, and others. The use of Tm-doped fiber lasers based on tellurite fibers is highly promising. We propose theoretically study a efficient diode-pumped zinc-tellurite at two cascade radiative transitions 1960 nm, with additional energy transfe...

Raman scattering has been employed to study the alkali-cation size dependence and the polarization characteristics of the low-frequency modes for the glass-forming tellurite mixtures, 0⋅1M2O–0⋅9TeO2 (M = Na, K, Rb and Cs). The analysis has shown that the Raman coupling coefficient alters by varying the type of the alkali cation. The addition of alkali modifier in the tellurite network leads to ...

The gram-positive human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is often isolated with media containing potassium tellurite, to which it has a higher level of resistance than Escherichia coli. The S. aureus cysM gene was isolated in a screen for genes that would increase the level of tellurite resistance of E. coli DH5alpha. The protein encoded by S. aureus cysM is sequentially and functionally homologo...

Mohamed HF, El-meleigy MA, Salem MS Abstract— Tellurium-tolerant actinomycete was isolated from the soil sample collected from an Egyptian contaminated site in Hellwan City near to a cement factory. Isolate identification was done using morphological, physiological and biochemical characterization, chemical analysis of the cell wall, cultural characteristics using the recommended media of the i...
