Unified Nomenclature for Genes Involved in Prokaryotic Aerobic Arsenite Oxidation

Unified nomenclature for genes involved in prokaryotic aerobic arsenite oxidation.

A periplasmic arsenite-binding protein involved in regulating arsenite oxidation.

Arsenic (As) is the most common toxic element in the environment, ranking first on the Superfund List of Hazardous Substances. Microbial redox transformations are the principal drivers of As chemical speciation, which in turn dictates As mobility and toxicity. Consequently, in order to manage or remediate environmental As, land managers need to understand how and why microorganisms react to As....

A unified nomenclature for yeast autophagy-related genes.

Detection, diversity and expression of aerobic bacterial arsenite oxidase genes.

The arsenic (As) drinking water crisis in south and south-east Asia has stimulated intense study of the microbial processes controlling the redox cycling of As in soil-water systems. Microbial oxidation of arsenite is a critical link in the global As cycle, and phylogenetically diverse arsenite-oxidizing microorganisms have been isolated from various aquatic and soil environments. However, desp...

Nomenclature for aerobic and facultative bacteria.

classification of various microbial agents. Molecular methods have helped to better define organism groupings and have led to considerable changes in bacterial nomenclature. The primary purpose of nomenclature is to permit us to know as exactly as possible what another clinician, microbiologist, epidemiologist, or investigator is referring to when describing an organism responsible for infectin...
