A PMA degrading constitutive organomercurial lyase in a broad-spectrum mercury resistant Bacillus pasteurii strain DR2. Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 1991 Dec; 29(12): 1147-9http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/56613A broad-spectrum Hg-resistant strain of B. pasteurii DR2 utilized phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) as sole source of carbon. This bacterial strain contained a constitutive organomercurial lyase which specifically degraded PMA but not other organo-mercurials. This PMA-lyase activity was also stimulated to different extents when this bacterial strain was grown in presence of different organic compounds as sole source of carbon.engBacillus --drug effectsDrug Resistance, MicrobialLyases --metabolismMercury --pharmacologyPhenylmercuric Acetate --metabolismJournal Article
