Gene_name	Experimentally Verified Resistance Gene Information	Predicted Resistance Gene Information
merA	BacMet ID: BAC0650 Code for: Enzyme Family: Class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family Sequence: FASTA Cross-database IDs: Link Organism: Pseudomonas sp. K-62 Location: Plasmid pMR26 Compound: Mercury (Hg), Phenylmercury Acetate [class: Organo-mercury], Methylmercury Acetate [class: Organo-mercury] Description: Mercury reductase enzyme, merA; resistance to Hg2+ in bacteria appears to be governed by a specialized system which includes mercuric reductase. MerA protein is responsible for volatilizing mercury as Hg0. Length (amino acid): 569 Reference: Kiyono et al. 1997; Pubmed- 9168120	Similar resistance genes in 'BacMet Predicted database'
merB	BacMet ID: BAC0657 Code for: Enzyme Family: MerB family Sequence: FASTA Cross-database IDs: Link Organism: Pseudomonas sp. K-62 Location: Plasmid pMR26 Compound: Mercury (Hg), Phenylmercury Acetate [class: Organo-mercury], Methylmercury Acetate [class: Organo-mercury] Description: MerB, encodes the enzyme organomercural lyase that breaks the carbon-mercury bond in toxic substrates such as phenymercury acetate; in gram negative it is rare, need for organomercural resistance. Length (amino acid): 212 Reference: Kiyono et al. 1997; Pubmed- 9168120	Similar resistance genes in 'BacMet Predicted database'
