Abstract: | Flavobacterium rigense strain PR2, a broad-spectrum mercury-resistant bacterium abundantly present in soil exhibited multiple metal resistance properties. Mercury resistance was due to the sequential action of two mercury-detoxicating enzymes, organomercurial lyase and mercuric reductase. The levels of these enzyme activities were determined using different mercury compounds as inducers and substrates. Mercuric reductase was partially purified from the bacterium and the physicochemical properties of the enzyme were studied. The effect of several enzyme inhibitors and heavy metal ions on the enzyme activity was also studied. |
