Adaptation of aquatic microbial communities to pollutant stress.

T Barkay1, H Pritchard.   

Abstract

The importance of microbial adaptation in the removal of environmental pollutants and in maintaining active microbial communities in impacted ecosystems is discussed using the biodegradation of p-nitrophenol and the volatilization of mercuric mercury as examples. A molecular mechanism of adaptation is suggested by enrichment of mercury resistance (mer) genes in some communities upon exposure to mercury.
