A conservative region of the mercuric reductase gene (mera) as a molecular marker of bacterial mercury resistance

The most common bacterial mercury resistance mechanism is based on the reduction of Hg(II) to Hg(0), which is dependent of the mercuric reductase enzyme (MerA) activity. The use of a 431 bp fragment of a conservative region of the mercuric reductase (merA) gene was applied as a molecular marker of t...

description The most common bacterial mercury resistance mechanism is based on the reduction of Hg(II) to Hg(0), which is dependent of the mercuric reductase enzyme (MerA) activity. The use of a 431 bp fragment of a conservative region of the mercuric reductase (merA) gene was applied as a molecular marker of this mechanism, allowing the identification of mercury resistant bacterial strains.
