Binding of Hg by bacterial extracellular polysaccharide: a possible role in Hg tolerance.

Applied microbiology and biotechnology - 1 Jul 2017

Cruz Kimberly, Guézennec Jean, Barkay Tamar

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria employ adaptive mechanisms of mercury (Hg) tolerance to survive in environments containing elevated Hg concentrations. The potential of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) production by bacteria as a mechanism of Hg tolerance has not been previously investigated. The objectives of this study were to determine if bacterial EPS sorb Hg, and if so does sorption provide protection against Hg toxicity....
