Thiobacillus ferrooxidans became significantly more tolerant to mercury stress after culturing in media of increasing mercury(II) concentrations. When mercuric chloride was added to the growth medium, the resistant organisms were found to volatilize elemental mercury (Hg0).T. ferrooxidans may be an important factor in the natural mercury cycle, since the environments whereT. ferrooxidans is found typically contain elevated levels of heavy metals, including mercury. |
