Description
Akansha Garg, Prerna Chauhan, Charanjeet Kaur, Mushtaq Ali, Pankaj Kumar Arora, and Alok Srivastava sequence a metal-resistant bacterium in a 2025 paper. The strain is Bacillus altitudinis AK25, from polluted water in India. It tolerates hexavalent chromium, a toxic and cancer-linked pollutant. Bioremediation may offer a green cleanup path for such sites.
The draft genome spans about 3.7 million base pairs. It holds 3,808 genes, most of them protein-coding. Genes for chromate export and other metal defenses stand out. Film growth, movement, and sensing genes aid life in harsh water. Tree checks confirm the strain's species identity. The authors flag its promise for metal cleanup work.
