Abstract excerpt
Mercury resistance operons (mer) from transposons Tn21, Tn501, and plasmid pDU1358 are highly homologous and inducible with Hg2+. The regulatory gene merR is transcribed from one promoter, which is divergently oriented from the promoter for the other mer genes. MerR, the product of the regulatory...
