Cupriavidus metallidurans is a non-spore-forming, Gram-negative bacterium which is adapted to survive several forms of heavy metal stress.[3] [4] [5]
As a model and industrial system
[ edit ]
Cupriavidus metallidurans is a bacterial species that belongs to the same family as Ralstonia solanacearum , a plant pathogen.[6]
This species is of ecological and industrial importance, as its relatives dominate mesophilic environments contaminated with heavy metals.[2] [7] C. metallidurans is used in the industrial sector for both heavy metal remediation and sensing.[4]
This aerobic chemolithoautotroph is capable of growing in a mineral salts environment with H 2 , O 2 , and CO 2 without an organic carbon source.[8] Its energy-providing subsystem is composed of only the hydrogenase , the respiratory chain , and the F1F0-ATPase , which remain separate from the anabolic subsystems.
C. metallidurans can also degrade xenobiotics in conditions with high levels of heavy metals.[9]
Strain CH34 has adapted to these harsh conditions through multiple heavy-metal resistance systems, encoded by the two indigenous megaplasmids , pMOL28 and pMOL30, on its chromosome(s ).[3] [4] [10]
Ecology
[ edit ]

C. metallidurans plays a vital role, together with Delftia acidovorans , in the formation of gold nuggets . It precipitates metallic gold from a solution of gold(III) chloride , a compound highly toxic to most other microorganisms.[11] [12] [13]
As a pathogen
[ edit ]
A case of a 74 year old man infected with Cupriavidus metallidurans has been documented,[14] possibly raising concerns about the safety of using the bacteria for industrial purposes.
