| Description | Pseudomonas putida is integral component of consortium Biorem RC1 that is used for degradation of oil derivates including polyaromates. Results showed significant decrease of growth and density of cellular suspenses in response to increasing concentration of cadmium in cultivation medium and elongating time of cultivation. The synthesis of metallothioneins is regulated at the transcription level and is induced by many factors. The general role of MT covers the homeostatic regulation of essential metals, the chelation of nonessential heavy metals and protection of oxidative stress. Pseudomonas putida cells synthetize the metalloprotein-like protein in response to cadmium presention. |
