A selective enrichment broth (SVV) was formulated to allow concurrent growth of Salmonella spp., V. parahaemolyticus, and V. cholerae. Potassium tellurite and sodium citrate were added as the inhibitors, while glucose, mannitol, anhydrous sodium sulfite and sodium pyruvate were employed
C C Vásquez et al.
Current microbiology, 43(6), 418-423 (2001-10-31)
The nucleotide sequence of a 4,539 bp fragment of Bacillus stearothermophilus V mediating tellurite resistance in Escherichia coli was determined. Four ORFs of more than 150 amino acids encoding polypeptides of 244, 258, 308, and 421 residues were found in

PloS one, 2(2), e211-e211 (2007-02-15)
Biochemical, genetic, enzymatic and molecular approaches were used to demonstrate, for the first time, that tellurite (TeO(3) (2-)) toxicity in E. coli involves superoxide formation. This radical is derived, at least in part, from enzymatic TeO(3) (2-) reduction. This conclusion

The effects of potassium tellurite on growth and survival of rho(+) and rho(0) Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were investigated. Both rho(+) and rho(0) strains grew on a fermentable carbon source with up to 1.2 mM K(2)TeO(3), while rho(+) yeast cells grown

We characterized the carbohydrate-fermenting ability of 31 strains of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O26 isolated from diarrhea patients in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, in order to establish selective isolation media for these strains. None of the 31 STEC O26 strains
