In this study, bacterial strains 'SL8', 'SL12', and the cocultured 'SL8+SL12' were cultivated in LB medium with or without 100 mg/L cadmium(II) for 48 hours (six replicates per treatment). After centrifugation, extracellular metabolites in the supernatant were extracted using a methanol acetonitr...
Coordinated stress response in E. mutabilis involving early Cd uptake, chloroplast-based detoxification, metabolic buffering via paramylon, suppression of growth-promoting hormones, and community-mediated resilience.
