Geobacter species are common in iron-rich environments and can contribute to formation of
methylmercury (MeHg), a neurotoxic compound with high bioaccumulation potential formed …

Introduction Mercury (Hg) is a major environmental pollutant that accumulates in biota
predominantly in the form of methylmercury (MeHg). Surface-associated microbial …

Bacterial mercury (Hg) methylation is critical for bioremediating Hg pollution, but the impact
of emerging antibiotics on this process has rarely been reported. This study innovatively …

The chemical and biological factors controlling microbial formation of methylmercury (MeHg)
are widely studied separately, but the combined effects of these factors are largely unknown …

Microbial methylation and demethylation are two competing processes controlling the net
production and bioaccumulation of neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in natural ecosystems …

The anaerobic bacterium Geobacter bemidijensis Bem has the unique ability to both
produce and degrade methylmercury (MeHg). While the adsorption of MeHg onto bacterial …

We offer our response to comments by Regnell 1 regarding the calculations of methylation/
demethylation rates reported in our paper “Anaerobic Mercury Methylation and …

The biogenic methylation of inorganic, divalent mercury (Hg (II)) by methylating
microorganisms leads to formation and bioaccumulation of monomethyl mercury (MeHg) in …

G. sulfurreducens PCA cells have been shown to reduce, sorb, and methylate Hg (II)
species, but it is unclear whether this organism can oxidize and methylate dissolved …

Biofilms can methylate mercury (Hg) at higher rates than unattached bacteria and are
increasingly recognized as important Hg methylation sites in the environment. Our previous …
