Genomic Islands Confer Heavy Metal Resistance in <i>Mucilaginibacter kameinonensis</i> and <i>Mucilaginibacter rubeus</i> Isolated from a Gold/Copper Mine

Heavy metals (HMs) are compounds that can be hazardous and impair growth of living organisms. Bacteria have evolved the capability not only to cope with heavy metals but also to detoxify polluted environments. Three heavy metal-resistant strains of <i>Mucilaginibacer rubeus</i> and one o...
