Adaptation of <i>Cupriavidus metallidurans</i> CH34 to Toxic Zinc Concentrations Involves an Uncharacterized ABC-Type Transporter

<i>Cupriavidus metallidurans</i> CH34 is a well-studied metal-resistant β-proteobacterium and contains a battery of genes participating in metal metabolism and resistance. Here, we generated a mutant (CH34<sup>ZnR</sup>) adapted to high zinc concentrations in order to study h...
