Resistance of Thermus spp. to Potassium Tellurite
AUTOR(ES)
Chiong, Mario
RESUMO
Two members of the genus Thermus were examined for their resistance to toxic inorganic compounds. They both proved to be fairly resistant to tellurite and selenite and to many other heavy metal salts. Cell extracts of Thermus thermophilus HB8 and of T. flavus AT-62 catalyze the reduction of K2TeO3 in a reaction which is dependent on NADH oxidation.
