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:

A PMA degrading constitutive organomercurial lyase in a broad-spectrum mercury resistant Bacillus pasteurii strain DR2.
TL;DR: A broad-spectrum Hg-resistant strain of B. pasteurii DR2 utilized phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) as sole source of carbon and contained a constitutive organomercurial lyase which specifically degraded PMA but not other organo-mercurials.

Microbial degradative activity in ground water at a chemical waste disposal site
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the microbiological fate and effects of toxic organic chemicals at the ambient concentration in leachates derived from a waste disposal landfill site and found that ground water downslope from the burial site contained high levels of certain dissolved hazardous chemicals such as toluene, xylene, benzene, and methylene chloride.

Heat sensitivity of mercuric ion and organomercurial degrading enzymes of aquatic, mercury-resistant bacteria.
TL;DR: Differences in the heat resistances of organomercurial lyases of two different broad-spectrum Hg-resistant bacteria indicate the presence of two enzyme systems for degrading thimersol, PMA and MEMC.
Microbial degradative activity in ground water at a chemical waste disposal site
TL;DR: Examination of leachates derived from a waste disposal landfill site revealed that ground water downslope from the burial site contained high levels of certain dissolved hazardous chemicals such as toluene, xylene, benzene, and methylene chloride.
