✔️Clone has the capability to volatilize 97.94% of 5ppm Hg which gradually decreased to 47% with the increase in Hg to 70ppm.
✔️Validation study using actual site (Ulhas soil) showed the effective conversion of Hg up to 99.9% by UC07.
✔️The clone contains both merA and merB genes, so it can be effectively utilized for organic and inorganic contaminated site.
✔️This is the first study of validation of clone using Hg contaminated site.
✔️ The results are quite promising which shows that UC07 can be utilized effectively for bioconversion of both organic as well as inorganic form of Hg contamination.
