In recent years, due to the pollution of heavy metals in the environment, it has brought a serious crisis to my country's ecological balance, especially the pollution of heavy metal mercury (Hg), so the repair of mercury in the environment is crucial. At present, there are many technologies for repairing mercury in the environment. The main repair techniques include physical repair technology and chemical repair technology. However, there are many problems in these two repair methods, such as high repair costs, and it is easy to cause secondary pollution. Microbial repair method is a method of repairing the environment. It can not only adsorb and fix heavy metal mercury, and does not bring pollution to the environment. Therefore, using microorganisms to remove mercury in the environment is by far the most promising environmental repair technology.
