Studies on the effect of mercury and organomercurial on the growth and nitrogen fixation by mercury‐resistant Azotobacter strains
TL;DR: Five nitrogen-fixing Azotobacter strains isolated from agricultural farms in West Bengal, India, were resistant to mercuric ion and organomercurials and NADPH and GSH might have a role in suppressing the inhibition of N 2 -fixation in the presence of Hg compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercurochrome as an adjunct to local preoperative preparation in children undergoing hypospadias repair
TL;DR: To determine whether the local application of mercurochrome over genital skin before surgery, in addition to soap/water scrubs, can help to decrease the incidence of infection patients undergoing hypospadias repair, and therebyThe incidence of fistula formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced elimination of HgCl2 from natural water by a broad-spectrum Hg-resistant Bacillus pasteurii strain DR2 in presence of benzene
TL;DR: A study of the increased rate of the elimination of HgCl2 by Bacillus pasteurii strain DR2 from natural river water in the presence of organic compounds finds this bacteria has the dual characteristics of elimination of mercury compounds and utilization of aromatic compounds in natural conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volatilization of mercury from natural water by a broad-spectrum Hg-resistant Bacillus pasteurii strain DR2
TL;DR: A broad spectrum mercury-resistant bacterial strain was isolated from contaminated water and was identified as Bacillus pasteurii strain DR2 as mentioned in this paper, which could volatilize Hg-compounds including organomercurials from its growth media.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent
TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

TL;DR: The mercury cycle in the biosphere and biological methylation of mercury and microbial resistance to mercury and organomercurials are studied.

TL;DR: It is shown that under aerobic conditions, methylmercury formation under Anaerobic conditions and under Aerobic conditions is more stable than under either of the other conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercuric reductase. Purification and characterization of a transposon-encoded flavoprotein containing an oxidation-reduction-active disulfide.
TL;DR: It was shown that mercuric reductase has the capacity to accept four electrons per FAD-containing subunit, and that two thiols become kinetically titrable by 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate) upon reduction with NADPH, characteristic features of the disulfide reduct enzyme class of flavoproteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mercuric and organomercurial detoxifying enzymes from a plasmid-bearing strain of Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: Two separate enzymes, which determine resistance to inorganic mercury and organomercurials, have been purified from the plasmid-bearing Escherichia coli strain J53-1(R831), suggesting that the native enzyme is composed of three identical subunits.
