• Bacterial silver resistance: molecular biology and uses and misuses of silver compounds. (2003, background): “The best understood such system is that for resistance to inorganic mercury and organomercurials [3,4,8].”
• The Toxicology of Mercury and Its Chemical Compounds (2006, background): “This mechanism whereby mercury is taken into cells as the first step in a protective mechanism was demonstrated many years ago in the case of bacterial resistance to mercury (for a recent review, see Barkay et al., 2003).”
• The MerR family of transcriptional regulators. (2003, background): “Further details of the mercury resistance systems are described elsewhere in this volume [48].”
• Bioremediation of mercury and the importance of bacterial mer genes (2012, background): “Natural processes such as degassing from geological mineral deposits, emissions from volcanic activities, photoreduction of divalent mercury in aquatic systems, and biological formation of elemental and methylmercury all add to mercury emissions (Barkay et al., 2003).”
• Rhizosphere processes and management in plant-assisted bioremediation (phytoremediation) of soils (2009, background): “In the case of mercury, microbial rhizovolatilisation is achieved by the degradation of methylmercury and reduction of Hg2+ to elemental Hg (Hg0; Barkay et al. 2003).”
• Microbial reduction of metals and radionuclides. (2003, methodology): “This system is described in detail in a chapter by Ann Summers in this volume [5], and will be discussed only very brie£y in this review.”
• Toxicity and Bioremediation of Heavy Metals Contaminated Ecosystem from Tannery Wastewater: A Review (2018, background): “Reduction of metal ions through enzymatic activity could result in formation of less toxic form of mercury and chromium [74, 75].”
• Gene flow, mobile genetic elements and the recruitment of antibiotic resistance genes into Gram-negative pathogens. (2011, background): “Even in pristine and/or preindustrial era soils, resident bacteria can possess highly evolved and regulated operons for the chemical transformation of mercury (Barkay et al., 2003; Barkay & Wagner-Dobler, 2005).”
