The research of probiotics for aquatic animals is increasing with the demand for environment-
friendly aquaculture. The probiotics were defined as live microbial feed supplements that …

Mercury pollution has emerged as a major problem in industrialized zones and presents a
serious threat to environment and health of local communities. Effectiveness and wide …

Accumulation of toxic metals in the environment represents a public health and wildlife
concern. Bacteria resistant to toxic metals constitute an attractive biomass for the …

This study aimed to isolate mercury resistant bacteria, determine the minimum inhibitory
concentration for Hg, estimate mercury removal by selected isolates, explore the mer genes …

BACKGROUND: Presence of staphylococci resistant to antibiotics is of concern, as is the
possible spread of resistance determinants among Staphylococcus species. During the past …

Antibacterial compounds and metals co-select for antimicrobial resistance when bacteria
harbour resistance genes towards both types of compounds, facilitating the proliferation and …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is one of the most dangerous heavy metal for living organisms that
may be found in environment. Given the crescent industrialization of Brazil and considering …

Aerobic mercury-resistant bacteria were isolated from the sediments of two highly mercury-
polluted areas of the Tagus Estuary (Barreiro and Cala do Norte) and one natural reserve …

Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic heavy metal and Hg‐resistant indigenous bacterial isolates
may offer a green and cost‐effective bioremediation strategy to counter Hg contamination. In …

In previous studies we detected lower species richness and lower Hg sensitivity of the
bacteria present in egested guts of Porcellio scaber (Crustacea, Isopoda) from chronically …
