Global regulator IscR positively contributes to antimonite resistance and oxidation in Comamonas testosterone S44

Antimonial compounds can be found as a toxic contaminant in the environment. Mechanisms of microbial Sb oxidation and its role in microbial tolerance are limited. Previously, we showed Comamonas testosteroni S44 to be resistant to multiple heavy metals and was able to oxidize the toxic antimonite [S...
