Analysis of heavy metal tolerance and genomics in an indigenous Kurthia strain from Kulik River reveals multi-metal resistance and dominance of selection pressure on codon usage patterns.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Heavy metal(loid) contamination poses significant risks to biological entities and the ecosystem. Many metal(loid)-resistant bacteria have been isolated from different environmental sites, but still no work has described multi-metal resistant Kurthia sp. In this study, an indigenous Kurthia strain isolated from the surface water of River Kulik was studied to determine its level of tolerance to various metal(loid)s. This study aimed to isolate, characterize and determine the growth kinetics and efficiency of Kurthia gibsonii strain M6 to remove and bioaccumulate As(V), Ni and Pb in vitro. This study also aimed to sequence the whole genome of the bacterium, identify metal resistance genes and analyze the codon usage patterns and factors that affect the codon usage bias of these genes. The bacterium showed elevated resistance to As(V), Pb, Ni and Zn. Under metal(loid) stressed conditions, live cells of Kurthia strain M6 bioaccumulated 212.74, 91.51 and 40.38 mg g
