An inhibitive assay for mercury using a molybdenum-reducing enzyme assay system from Serratia sp. Strain DRY8 is presented. Mercury showed a sigmoidal inhibition curve with a calculated IC50 using the four-parameter logistic model of 2.101 mg l-1. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitati...
