Biodegradation of phenylmercuric acetate by mercury-resistant bacteria
Appl Microbiol.
1973 Sep.
Abstract
Selected cultures of mercury-resistant bacteria degrade the fungicide-slimicide phenylmercuric acetate. By means of a closed system incorporating a flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometer and a vapor phase chromatograph, it was demonstrated that elemental mercury vapor and benzene were products of phenylmercuric acetate degradation.
