About this document
Mercury Resistance in Sporosarcina G3 by sheila_duque is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the isolation and characterization of a mercury-resistant bacterial isolate, Sporosarcina sp. G3. Key findings include: 1) The isolate was able to tolerate high concentrations of various heavy metals including cadmium, cobalt, zinc, chromium, and mercury. 2) Crude cell extracts of the isolate showed mercuric reductase and chromate reductase enzyme activity, suggesting it may be useful for bioremediation of mercury and chromium contamination. 3) A new set of degenerate PCR primers
