Tellurite-mediated thiol oxidation in Escherichia coli
Article Abstract:
Escherichia coli tellurite-mediated thiol oxidation is discussed. A study has been carried out to explore the mechanism of tellurite toxicity through looking at effects of the oxyanion on cell thiols. Loss of reduced thiol (RSH) content was tellurite-dependent, not just the result of cell death. It appears likely that hpersensitivity to tellurite relies on the presence of isomerase activity, not thiol oxidase activity of the Dsb proteins.

An inducible tellurite-resistance operon in Proteus mirabilis
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on tellurite resistance. The authors demonstrate that Proteus mirabilis natural resistance to tellurite is caused by chromosomally located orthologue of plasmid-borne ter genes from enteric bacteria.
