The MIC of Cu, and whether the protein function has been determined is included. Genomes of these species all harbour copA or copA-like copper translocating genes.
aminimum inhibitory concentration as of the strains of the species studied and under the specific test conditions in the corresponding references; bfunctions of copA genes have been experimentally verified or the crystal structure of CopA proteins has been resolved; creferred as Cu resistant but MIC is unknown or not provided.
