Volatilization of Mercuric Chloride by Mercury-Resistant Plasmid-Bearing Strains of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
AUTOR(ES)
Summers, Anne O.
RESUMO
Several bacterial strains carrying genes determining mercury resistance on naturally occurring plasmids will convert 10−5m Hg2+ (chloride) to a form of mercury which is volatile and soluble in organic solvents. The volatilization activity is induced by exposure to HgCl2.
