Abstract excerpt
In this work, we evaluated the effects of cadmium (Cd) on the antioxidant defense system responses and the role of nitrate reductase (NR) in the redox balance maintenance in Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains. For that, B. japonicum USDA110 and its NR defective mutant strain (GRPA1) were used. Results showed that the addition of 10μM Cd did not modify the aerobic growth of the wild type strain while the mutant...
