Abstract
Recently, genes for two copper-responsive regulatory systems were identifie d in the Escherichia call chromosome. In this report, data are presented th at support a hypothesis that the putative multicopper oxidase CueO and the transenvelope transporter CusCFBA are involved in copper tolerance in E. co li.
