Mercury resistance determined by a self-transmissible plasmid in Bacillus cereus 5.

Biology of metals - 1 Jan 1990

Belliveau B H, Trevors J T

Abstract excerpt

Inducible mercuric reductase activity in Bacillus cereus 5 was plasmid-encoded. Plasmid analysis revealed three plasmids with molecular masses of 2.6, 5.2 and 130 MDa. A mating system permitted transfer of the resistance determinant among strains of B. cereus and B. thuringiensis. Transfer of mercury resistance from B. cereus 5 to B. cereus 569 and B. thuringiensis occurred during mixed culture incubation on agar...
