Abstract:
Bacterial species have genetically-determined systems for resistances to toxic heavy metals. Those for metals of environmental concern including mercury cadmium, arsenic and others are briefly summarized, considering the genes of the systems and the biochemical mechanisms by which the resistance proteins function.
