Hybridization of DNA probes with whole-community genome for detection of genes that encode microbial responses to pollutants: Mer genes and Hg (2+) resistance
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7018805
Nucleic acids extracted from microbial biomass were hybridized with probes representing four mer operons, to detect genes encoding adaptation to Hg{sup 2+}. An enrichment in sequences similar to the mer genes of transposon 501 occurred during adaptation in a freshwater community. In an estuarine community, all four mer genes were only slightly enriched, suggesting that additional, yet uncharacterized, mer genes encodeded adaptation to HG{sup 2+}.
