Molteni, Cristina; Abicht, Helge K; Solioz, Marc (2010). Killing of bacteria by copper surfaces involves dissolved copper. Applied and environmental microbiology, 76(12), pp. 4099-101. Washington, D.C.: American Society for Microbiology 10.1128/AEM.00424-10
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Bacteria are rapidly killed on copper surfaces. However, the mechanism of this process remains unclear. Using Enterococcus hirae, the effect of inactivation of copper homeostatic genes and of medium compositions on survival and copper dissolution was tested. The results support a role for dissolved copper ions in killing.
