Description
Daiki Kojima and co-authors isolated a bacterium in work whose text is dated 2023 that can survive very high levels of cesium, a metal of concern after nuclear accidents. The catalog lists the paper under 2024, but the text itself gives 2023. Understanding such resistance could help clean up polluted sites.
The team started from a known pump protein and made many altered copies, hunting for stronger ones. One resulting strain grew well in cesium levels that stop normal gut bacteria, and even in far higher levels in tests. Its protein making machinery stayed intact under cesium stress, unlike the parent strain's. Membrane tests showed its pump grips cesium much more tightly than the original.
