The Potential of Mercury-Resistant Bacteria Isolated from Small-Scale Gold Mine Tailings for Accumulation of Mercury

In certain small-gold mining activities in West Lombok, Indonesia, the tailings containing mercury are discharged to agricultural lands, reducing their productivity. One of the efforts to restore the land is by bioremediation of mercury, using mercury-resistant microbes. This study was aimed to isol...
