Bacterium-Based Heavy Metal Biosorbents: Enhanced Uptake of Cadmium by E. coli Expressing a Metallothionein Fused to β-Galactosidase
We investigated the potential utility of a recombinant E. coli that expresses the human metallothionein II gene as a fusion protein with β-galactosidase as a heavy metal biosorbent. E. coli cells expressing the metallothionein fusion demonstrated enhanced binding of Cd2+ compared to cells that lack...
