Microbial retention of mercury from waste streams in a laboratory column containing merA gene bacteria

M Brunke et al. FEMS Microbiol Rev. 1993 Jul.

Abstract

The microorganisms used for the mercury retention experiments were natural isolates and genetically engineered bacteria. All mercury-resistant strains contained the merA gene. Column experiments with these strains were carried out by immobilizing them on different support materials. To obtain kinetic data of the reductase activity for whole cells and the crude extract, batch experiments were carried out under different conditions.
