Volatilization of mercury compounds and utilization of various aromatic compounds by a broad-spectrum mercury resistant Bacillus pasteurii strain

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

Bacillus pasteurii DR2, a broad-spectrum Hg-resistant bacterial strain, exhibited delayed sporulation and less mercury volatilization in the presence of mercury compounds. However, Hg-sensitive Bacillus subtilis sporulated quickly in the presence of HgCl2 and volatilized no mercury. Levels of Hg2+-reductase and organomercurial lyase in the endospores of Bacillus pasteurii DR2 were lower than those in vegetative cells © 1995 Indian Academy of Sciences.

Mercury detoxifying enzymes within endospores of a broad-spectrum mercury resistant Bacillus pasteurii strain DR 2

A broad spectrum mercury‐resistant organism, Bacillus pasteurii DR2, was isolated from the effluents of Durgapur Steel Plant, India. In the presence of phenylmercuric acetate or benzene the rate of glucose uptake and the level of some metabolic enzymes increased significantly. Inhibition of the glucose oxidation rate by these chemicals in lysozyme‐treated cells indicated that these compounds facilitated the transport of glucose across the cell wall and thereby stimulated growth.
