The dramatic decrease in solubility accompanying the reduction of U(VI) to U(IV), producing
the insoluble mineral uraninite, has been viewed as a potential mechanism for …

Dissimilatory sulphate reduction is the unifying and defining trait of sulphate-reducing
prokaryotes (SRP). In their predominant habitats, sulphate-rich marine sediments, SRP have long …

Sulphate-reducing microorganisms (SRMs) are a phylogenetically diverse group of anaerobes
encompassing distinct physiologies with a broad ecological distribution. As SRMs have …

Methylmercury is a potent neurotoxin produced in natural environments from inorganic
mercury by anaerobic bacteria. However, until now the genes and proteins involved have …

Thirty-three strains of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata have been studied in order to develop
a more comprehensive characterization of the species. On the basis of morphological, …

Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough is a model organism for studying the energy metabolism
of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and for understanding the economic impacts of SRB, …

One-third of all protein-coding genes from bacterial genomes cannot be annotated with a
function. Here, to investigate the functions of these genes, we present genome-wide mutant …

We propose the use of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ND132 as a model species for understanding
the mechanism of microbial Hg methylation. Strain ND132 is an anaerobic dissimilatory …

An aim of systems biology is to understand complex interactions between genes, proteins
and metabolites by integrating and modeling multiple data sources. We report an'integrated-…

Previous in vitro experiments with Desulfovibrio vulgaris strain Hildenborough demonstrated
that extracts containing hydrogenase and cytochrome c 3 could reduce uranium(VI) to …
