The chemical species of mercury accumulated by Pseudomonas idrijaensis, a bacterium from a rock of the Idrija mercury mine, Slovenia
International audience A mercury-resistant bacterial strain has been isolated from a rock of the Idrija mercury mine in Slovenia. The rock had 19 g carbon and 2952 mg mercury (Hg) per kg. Mass spectrometry and DNA sequencing showed that the bacterium belongs to the Pseudomonas genus. It is called Ps...
