Abstract excerpt
A marine bacterial strain putatively identified as Bacillus thuringiensis strain DM55, showed multiple heavy metal resistance and biosorption phenotypes. Electron microscopic studies revealed that DM55 cells are encased in anionic cell wall polymers that can immobilize discrete aggregates of cati...
