Bacterium-based heavy metal biosorbents : enhanced uptake of cadmium by E. coli expressing a metallothionein fused to beta-galactosidase

We investigated the potential utility of a recombinant E. coli that expresses the human metallothionein II gene as a fusion protein with beta-galactosidase as a heavy metal biosorbent. E. coli cells expressing the metallothionein fusion demonstrated enhanced binding of Cd2+ compared to cells that la...
