Identification of molecular pathways underlying Mn(II) oxidation in Pseudomonas resinovorans
Pseudomonas resinovorans MOB-513 strain was isolated from a biological water treatment plant in Las Toscas, Argentina, which had been exposed to long-term Mn(II) contamination and exhibited high Mn(II) removal efficiency. Isolation was performed using selective media designed to culture Mn-oxidising bacteria (MOB). The strain was subsequently characterised for its Mn(II)-oxidation and biofilm-forming capacities under different environmental growth conditions. Further studies demonstrated that Mn(II) oxidation in this strain is influenced by intracellular cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) levels.  In the present work, a transposon library was generated to investigate the genetic network underlying Mn(II) oxidation in MOB-513.
