Klebsiella oxytoca CCUG 15788 is resistant to Ni2+ at a concentration of 10 mM and grows in an inducible manner when exposed to lower concentrations of Ni2+. The complete genomic sequence of a 4.2-kb HindIII-digested fragment of this strain was determined from genomic DNA. It was shown to contain four nickel resistance genes (nirA, nirB, nirC, and nirD) encoding transporter and transmembrane proteins for nickel resistance. When the plasmid pKOHI4, encoding nirABCD, was transformed into Escherichia coli JM109, the cells were able to grow in Tris-buffered mineral medium containing 3 mM nickel. TnphoA'-1 insertion mutants in the four nickel genes nirA, nirB, nirC, and nirD showed nickel sensitivity. The nir genes were heterogeneously expressed in E. coli, suggesting functional roles of these genes in nickel resistance.
