Increased Abundance of IncP-1β Plasmids and Mercury Resistance Genes in Mercury-Polluted River Sediments: First Discovery of IncP-1β Plasmids with a Complex mer Transposon as the Sole Accessory Element

Although it is generally assumed that mobile genetic elements facilitate the adaptation of microbial communities to environmental stresses, environmental data supporting this assumption are rare. In this study, river sediment samples taken from two mercury-polluted (A and B) and two nonpolluted or l...
