Biomineralization of a calcifying ureolytic bacterium Microbacterium sp. GM-1

Background: Biomineralization is a significant process performed by living organisms in which minerals are produced through the hardening of biological tissues. Herein, we focus on calcium carbonate precipitation, as part of biomineralization, to be used in applications for environmental protection, mate...

Screening of Trichoderma isolates for their potential of biosorption of nickel and cadmium

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (2), 2016
Abstract Fourteen Trichoderma isolates were evaluated for their tolerance to two heavy metals, nickel and cadmium. Three isolates, MT-4, UBT-18, and IBT-I, showed high levels of nickel tolerance, whereas MT-4, UBT-18, and IBT-II showed better tolerance of cadmium than the other isolates. Under nickel str...

Effect of nickel chloride on Arabidopsis genomic DNA and methylation of 18S rDNA

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (1), 2015
Background In recent years, nickel (Ni) has been widely applied in industrial and agricultural production and has become a kind of environmental pollution. In this study, the effect of nickel chloride (NiCl2) with different concentrations on Arabidopsis genomic stability and DNA methylation has been demo...
