摘要: The mercury (II) ion is toxic and usually detoxified in Bacteria by reduction to elemental mercury, which less toxic. This catalysed an NAD(P)H-dependent mercuric reductase (EC 1.16.1.1). Here, we present strong evidence that Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) - a methanotrophic member of the Gammaproteobacteria uses this enzyme detoxify mercury. In radiorespirometry studies, it was found cells exposed dissimilated 100% [(14)C]methane provided generate reducing equivalents fuel reduction, rather than mix assimilation dissimilation control incubations. detoxification system constitutively expressed with specific activity 352 (+/- 18) nmol NADH oxidized min(-1) (mg protein)(-1). Putative genes were predicted M. genome mRNA microarray studies. MerA-derived polypeptide showed high identity (> 80%) MerA sequences from Betaproteobacteria.
