TLDR
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.About:

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

Cancerous diseases in aquatic animals and their association with environmental pollutants: A critical literature review
TL;DR: Much additional research is required before the relationship(s) between environmental pollution and neoplasms in indigenous aquatic species can be understood, and the current state of knowledge in the general areas of fish and shellfish metabolism and the use of aquatic animal models in studies of chemical carcinogenesis is described.

Volatilisation of mercury and organomercurials determined by inducible R-factor systems in enteric bacteria
TL;DR: THE AUTHORS have screened a large number of R plasmid-bearing Escherichia coli and obtained a few that confer resistance to the organomercurials phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) and methylmerCuric chloride (MMA), which are of interest to see if the mercury(ial) resistance of the bacteria in the alimentary canal influences the fate of ingested mercury(ials).

TL;DR: Except for very low hydrocarbon concentrations, the Monod model for a single substrate was able to describe reasonably well the time dependence of both cell growth and hydrocarbon consumption for experiments with n-decane.
