“…A46 was found to contain other genes associated with resistance to heavy metals, such as Zn 2+ , Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , Cu 2+ , CrO 4 2− , and AsO 4 3− (Tables 4-8). As such, the four ZntA P-type transporting ATPases (PSDM-0653, PSDM-1071, PSDM-1166, and PSDM-4297) in particular may mediate resistance to Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ , and Pb 2+ [28], and heavy metals could be transported by the resistancenodulation-division (RND) family efflux transporters PSDM-0708 and PSDM-4729 [29,30]. CzcA (PSDM-3120, PSDM-0710, and PSDM-1540) and CzcB (PSDM-0709) heavy metal proteins are involved in the efflux of metal ions such as Cd 2+ [31,32].…”
