| Research Abstract |
In this study, we analyzed merA genes from the soil sample of a mercury contaminated site. The result showed that there is big diversity between merA genes. Second study was conducted to wide range of merA gene analysis. The results showed that there are many new merA genes in the mercury contaminated soil sample. In the final stage of this research, direct interspecies gene transfer was investigated by using filter-mating method and sandwich-meting method. The mercury resistant and tetracycline resistant bacterial colonies were observed on the culture plates. However, those resistant bacteria were not stable in the liquid culture. From these results, it was concluded that interspecies gene transfer of mercury resistance gene needs special vectors for the horizontal gene transfer.
