Adaptation to mercury stress by nitrogen-fixing bacteria is driven by horizontal gene transfer and enhanced gene expression of the Mer operon

2024-01-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Mercury (Hg) is highly toxic and has the potential to cause severe health problems for humans and foraging animals when transported into edible plant parts. Soil rhizobia that form symbiosis with legumes may possess mechanisms to prevent heavy metal translocation from roots to shoots in plants by exporting metals from nodules or compartmentalizing metal ions inside nodules. We sequenced the g...
