Although mercury (Hg) is toxic at all valence states, organic Hg, especially
monomethylmercury (MeHg, CH3Hg+, methylmercury), is more toxic than inorganic Hg (Hg …

Mercury (Hg) is a natural and widespread trace metal, but is considered a priority pollutant,
particularly its organic form methylmercury (MMHg), because of human's exposure to MMHg …

Algal blooms bring massive amounts of algal organic matter (AOM) into eutrophic lakes,
which influences microbial methylmercury (MeHg) production. However, because of the …

Methylmercury (MeHg) production was compared among nine cultured methanogenic
archaea that contain hgcAB, a gene pair that codes for mercury (Hg) methylation. The …

Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic element, which is frequently enriched in flooded soils due to its
anthropogenic release. The mobilization of Hg and its species is of ultimate importance …

Rice consumption is now recognized as an important pathway of human exposure to the
neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg), particularly in countries where rice is a staple food …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a bioaccumulative toxic contaminant in many ecosystems, but
factors governing its production are poorly understood. Recent work has shown that the …

Methylmercury (MeHg) production is controlled by the bioavailability of inorganic divalent
mercury (Hg (II) i) and Hg‐methylation capacity of the microbial community (conferred by the …

The human gut microbiome is considered critical for establishing and maintaining intestinal
function and homeostasis throughout life. Evidence for bidirectional communication with the …

Mercury (Hg) contaminated paddy soils are hot spots for methylmercury (MeHg) which can
enter the food chain via rice plants causing high risks for human health. Biochar can …
