Abstract excerpt
Bacteria are known to adopt complex metabolic strategies in an effort to counteract the impact of numerous toxic compounds. In this study, a Cr(VI)-sensitive mutant of the Cr(VI)-hyperresistant bacterium Pseudomonas corrugata 28, obtained by insertional mutagenesis using the EZ-Tn5™ <R6Kγori/KAN-2>Tnp, was employed to gain a greater understanding of Cr(VI) resistance in bacteria. The insertion of the transposon,...
