Metabolic response of tellurite resistant Bacillus altitudinis strain 3W19 highlights the potential as a model organism for bioremediation.

ABSTRACT: Contaminated environments can pose new challenges when new contaminants appear and can select organisms with new genetic and metabolic strategies. The increased presence of Te(IV) in the environment is becoming more important. This highlights how underexplored the investigation of how bacteria molecularly respond to less common environmental contaminants, such as tellurite when compared to other metals/ metalloids. Understanding what tools an organism uses from its genetic pool when responding to a new contaminant requires a multiple-technique approach, such as metabolic tests and differential omics analysis. These analyses provide a full metabolic and phenotypical map of stress response that can include new resistance mechanisms, whether specific or not. This study aimed to determine if B
