This research conducted heavy metal resistance bacteria and removal of Hg in difference salinity levels. The result showed that P. aeruginosa strain FZ-2 has high resistance to Fe, Mn, Cu, Cd, Pb, Mg, and Zn and is inhibited by Hg with 10 mg L− 1 concentration. Besides that, P. aeruginosa strain FZ-2 can remove Hg in 0, 10, 20, and 30‰ of salinity with removal efficiencies are 54, > 99, 94, and 89%, respectively. It was indicated that salinity exerts a significant positive effect on P. aeruginosa FZ-2 in removing Hg.

Hg-contaminated soil from a land farming area
|
Hg2+
|
This research discussed Hg-resistant bacteria, the removal of Hg, and the characterization of Hg reductase by the new strain of Pseudomonas sp. B50A. The result showed that Pseudomonas sp. B50A can remove Hg2+ up to 82 ± 2% with 10 μM of initial Hg concentration after 24 h at 30 ± 2 °C. In addition, Pseudomonas sp. B50A can produce Hg reductase, which plays a role in removing Hg.

Hg2+
|
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of co-enzyme addition on Hg bioremediation. The result showed that P. aeruginosa KHY2 can decrease Hg2+ by more than 60% with the addition of co-enzyme (128 ppm of vitamin B12). The initial Hg concentration was 12 ppm.

|
Hg
|
This research was conducted in fixed-bed continuous up-flow reactors by using Hg-resistant bacteria. The effect of salinity on performance was also investigated. The result showed that P. aeruginosa CH07 isolated from marine sediments can remove up to 95% Hg with 8 mg L− 1 of Hg and 8 g L− 1 of NaCl. The removal rate of P. aeruginosa CH07 for 1 mg L− 1 of Hg was 1.16 × 10− 6 ng cell− 1 min− 1.

Contaminated sediments from a lagoon
|
Hg2+
|
The objective of this research was to isolate Hg-resistant bacteria from the sediments of a lagoon and determine their capability to remove and transform Hg. The result showed that Pseudomonas spp. is resistant to Hg with a concentration of 0.075 mM. Pseudomonas spp. can convert volatile Hg2+ into Hg0, and the removal of Hg2+ can reach up to 99% with an initial concentration of 10 mg mL− 1.
