    Characterization of culturable Paenibacillus spp. from the snow surface on the high Antarctic Plateau (DOME C) and their dissemination in the Concordia research station

    Culturable psychrotolerant bacteria were isolated from the top snow on the high Antarctic Plateau surrounding the research station Concordia. A total of 80 isolates were recovered, by enrichment cultures, from...

    Variation in genomic islands contribute to genome plasticity in Cupriavidus metallidurans

    Different Cupriavidus metallidurans strains isolated from metal-contaminated and other anthropogenic environments were genotypically and phenotypically compared with C. metallidurans type strain CH34. The latter ...

    Engineered endophytic bacteria improve phytoremediation of water-soluble, volatile, organic pollutants

    Phytoremediation of highly water soluble and volatile organic xenobiotics is often inefficient because plants do not completely degrade these compounds through their rhizospheres. This results in phytotoxicity...

    Identification of a partition and replication region in theAlcaligenes eutrophus megaplasmid pMOL28

    A 4.64 kb region of the 180 kb heavy metal resistance plasmid pMOL28 ofAlcaligenes eutrophus CH34, previously shown to be able to replicate autonomously, was sequenced and analyzed. Three genes involved in plasmi...
