Molecular cloning and characterization of the srdBCA operon, encoding the respiratory selenate reductase complex, from the selenate-reducing bacterium Bacillus selenatarsenatis SF-1.

Abstract excerpt

Previously, we isolated a selenate- and arsenate-reducing bacterium, designated strain SF-1, from selenium-contaminated sediment and identified it as a novel species, Bacillus selenatarsenatis. B. selenatarsenatis strain SF-1 independently reduces selenate to selenite, arsenate to arsenite, and nitrate to nitrite by anaerobic respiration. To identify the genes involved in selenate reduction, 17 selenate...
