Characterization of mercury bioremediation by transgenic bacteria expressing metallothionein and polyphosphate kinase.

BMC biotechnology - 12 Aug 2011

Ruiz Oscar N, Alvarez Derry, Gonzalez-Ruiz Gloriene, Torres Cesar

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The use of transgenic bacteria has been proposed as a suitable alternative for mercury remediation. Ideally, mercury would be sequestered by metal-scavenging agents inside transgenic bacteria for subsequent retrieval. So far, this approach has produced limited protection and accumulation. We report here the development of a transgenic system that effectively expresses metallothionein (mt-1) and...
