Draft Genome Sequences for Three Mercury-Methylating, Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: The genetic basis for bacterial mercury methylation has been described recently. For insights into the physiology of mercury-methylating bacteria, we present genome sequences for Desulfococcus multivorans strain DSM 2059, Desulfovibrio alkalitolerans strain DSM 16529, and Desulfovibrio species strain X2.
