Bioengineered Bacteria Could Mop Up Mercury from Contaminated Waters from Contaminated Waters By Mandy Adwell on 09/29/2011 in Earth, Technology Thousands of tons of mercury are discharged into lakes, rivers and streams each year, making its way into the food chain and poisoning large amounts of the fish we consume. As a way to combat mercury contamination and poisoning, scientists have developed and engineered bugs that are not only resistant to mercury, but have the ability to mop up the toxic substance from contaminated areas, reducing the risk of fish becoming contaminated. These mercury-resistant bugs contain either the bacterial gene for polyphosphate kinase, or the mouse gene for metallothionein. According to the BMC Biotechnology Journal, both of these are capable of growing in highly concentrated mercury levels. These could help clean up environmental mercury spills, as well as in places where mercury has accumulated, even providing scientists and researchers the ability to recycle it for further industrial needs.
