Insights into the diverse roles of the terminal oxidases in Burkholderia cenocepacia H111 by Sarah Paszti, Olivier Biner, Yilei Liu, Kim Bolli, Sarah Dorothy Jeggli, Gabriella Pessi, Leo Eberl

“…The cyanide-insensitive bd-type terminal oxidase (cio-1) was mainly expressed in cells grown on the surface of solid medium or in liquid cultures in presence of cyanide, which is known to be produced in the CF lung by the often co-residing CF pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Indeed, a cio-1 insertional mutant was not able to grow in the presence of cyanide confirming the important role of Cio-1 in cyanide resistance. …”
