Characterization of the Metabolically Modified Heavy Metal-Resistant Cupriavidus metallidurans Strain MSR33 Generated for Mercury Bioremediation
Figure 4
Effect of Hg2+ on the growth of C. metallidurans strains MSR33 and CH34.
Cells were grown in LPTMS medium in absence of Hg2+ A, presence of Hg2+ (0.04 mM) B, or Hg2+ (0.04 mM) were added to LPTMS medium at exponential phase C. The exposure to Hg2+ started at the point indicated with an arrow. Each value is the mean ± SD of three independent assays.
