High antimony resistance strain Enterobacter sp. Z1 mediates biomineralization of antimony trioxide by Zijie Zhou, Hongbo Yu, Gejiao Wang, Mingshun Li, Kaixiang Shi

“…Omics analysis revealed the upregulation of pyruvate metabolism and accumulation of DL-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) in the presence of Sb(III).Using pyruvate as the sole carbon source in a chemically defined medium significantly enhanced Sb(III) biomineralization ratio from 20.8 % to 90.4 % compared with that using R2A medium. Additionally, reduced Sb(III) biomineralization and intracellular pH levels were observed following aceE gene knockout in Enterobacter sp. …”
