Mercury resistant (HgR) Enterobacter sp. AZ-15 was isolated from heavy metal polluted
industrial wastewater samples near to districts Kasur and Sheikhupura, Pakistan. 16S rDNA …

The characteristics of bacteria take up mercury into cells via membrane potential-dependent
sequence-divergent members of the mercuric ion (Mer) superfamily, ie, a periplasmic …

The mercury resistance (mer) operon is present in a wide range of bacteria but relevant
research has been conducted mainly on Gram-negative bacteria. We compared the heavy …

Bacterial resistance to mercury compounds (mercurials) is mediated by proteins encoded by
mercury resistance (mer) operons. Six merE variants with site‐directed mutations were …

Overexpression of a mercuric ion binding protein, MerP, from the mercury resistance operon
genes of Gram-positive bacterial strain Bacillus megaterium MB1 and from Gram-negative …

Mercury (Hg), a naturally occurring element with a widespread use in industry, is the most
toxic of the heavy metals. Worldwide, many areas are polluted with mercury, presenting a …

Mercury-resistant (Hg R) bacteria were isolated from heavy metal polluted wastewater and
soil collected near to tanneries of district Kasur, Pakistan. Bacterial isolates AZ-1, AZ-2 and …

Mercury exists naturally in small amounts in the environment as the sixteenth rarest element
on earth. However, its level is rising due to industrialization and other anthropogenic …

We report the complete nucleotide sequence of plasmid pMR68, isolated from
Pseudomonas strain K-62, two plasmids contribute to broad-spectrum mercury resistance …

Mercury, which is ubiquitous and recalcitrant to biodegradation processes, threatens human
health by escaping to the environment via various natural and anthropogenic activities. Non …
