Phytodetoxification of hazardous organomercurials by genetically engineered plants.

Nature biotechnology - 1 Feb 2000

Bizily S P, Rugh C L, Meagher R B

Abstract excerpt

Methylmercury is a highly toxic, organic derivative found in mercury-polluted wetlands and coastal sediments worldwide. Though commonly present at low concentrations in the substrate, methylmercury can biomagnify to concentrations that poison predatory animals and humans. In the interest of devel...
