Metagenomic Evidence for a Methylocystis Species Capable of Bioremediation of Diverse Heavy Metals

Metagenomic Evidence for a Methylocystis Species Capable of Bioremediation of Diverse Heavy Metals

Heavy metal pollution has become an increasingly serious problem worldwide. Co-contamination with toxic mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As) presents a particularly difficult bioremediation trouble. By oxidizing the greenhouse gas methane, methanotrophs have been demonstrated to have high denitrification a...
