Whole genome sequence reveals molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation of Rhodanobacter strains to multiple stressors
The Genomic Features Underlying Adaptation of Rhodanobacter Strains to Stressful Conditions (denitrification processes, heavy metal resistance, and restriction-modification systems) present at ENIGMA Field Site ORR. Rhodanobacter species have been found dominant in the subsurface of Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) site contaminated with acid, nitrate, metal radionuclides, and other heavy metals. Recently, multiple Rhodanobacter strains have […]
