A putative merR family transcription factor Slr0701 regulates mercury inducible expression of MerA in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803
Abstract In cyanobacteria, genes conferring mercury resistance are not organized as mer‐operon, unlike in other bacterial phyla. Synechocystis contains only a putative MerR regulator, Slr0701, and a mercury reductase, MerA, located aside from each other in the genome. The slr0701‐mutant showed reduc...
