Bacterial gamma-glutamyltranspeptidases: comparison of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase.

abstract：:Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a group of microorganisms that have the ability to synthesize intracellular magnetic crystals (magnetosomes). They prefer microaerobic or anaerobic aquatic sediments. Thus, there is growing interest in their ecological roles in various habitats. In this study we found co-occurrence of ...
