Cloning of a tellurite resistance determinant from Bacillus stearothermophilus V in Escherichia coli.
A potassium tellurite-resistance determinant was isolated from Bacillus stearothermophilus V and cloned in Escherichia coli. Transformed cells formed black colonies when grown on solid media containing permissive tellurite concentrations. The resistance determinant was contained in a B. stearothermophilus V chromosomal DNA fragment of 7 kb.
