alicaligenes - Synonyms for alicaligenes | Synonyms Of alicaligenes

Examples of "alicaligenes"
"V. paradoxus" is involved in cycling numerous inorganic elements including arsenic, sulfur, manganese and rare earth elements in a range of soil, freshwater and geological environments. In the case of arsenic, "V. paradoxus" is believed to oxidize As (III) to As (V) as a detoxification mechanism. "V. paradoxus" has been found in a range of rocky environments including carbonate caves, mine spoil and deep marine sediments, but the role of this organism within these environments is largely unstudied. The species is also tolerant of a large number of heavy metals including cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, silver, zinc at mM concentrations. Despite this, very little is known about the physiological adaptions "V. paradoxus" uses to support this tolerance. The sequenced genome of the endophytic strain "V. paradoxus" S110 provides some clues to the organism’s metal tolerance by identifying key molecular machinery in processing metals such as the arsenic reductase complex ArsRBC, metal transporting P1-type ATPases and a chemiosmotic antiporter efflux system similar to CzcCBA of "Cupriavidus metallidurans". "Cupriavidus" species, including "C. metallidurans", are well characterised in the field of microbe-metal interactions, and are found within the same order (Burkholderiales) as "V. paradoxus". Both the species "C. necator and C. metallidurans" (when not distinguished as separate species) were originally classified in the genera "Alcaligenes" along with "V. paradoxus" ("Alcaligenes eutrophus" and "Alicaligenes paradoxus"). This relationship with other heavy metal resistant species may help to partially explain the evolutionary history of "V. paradoxus"'s metal tolerance.
