The purpose of this review is to outline our understanding of the nature, mechanism and
physiological significance of light-induced reversible reorganizations in closed Type II …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant emitted primarily as gaseous Hg0 that is deposited in
aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems following its oxidation to HgII. From that point, microbes …

Nitrogen cycle microorganisms are essential in agricultural soils and may be affected by
mercury pollution. The aims of this study are to evaluate the bioremediation of mercury …

Abrupt reduction of the sediment load in the middle reaches of the Yellow River has
extracted much attention during the past several decades due to global climate changes and …

The bioaccumulation of toxic monomethylmercury is influenced by the redox reactions that
determine the amount of mercury (Hg) substrate—HgII or Hg0 (refs,)—that is available for …

Among toxic metals, mercury (Hg) is a global priority contaminant due to the
biomagnification of the most toxic form methylmercury (MeHg) in food webs, even in remote …

Mercury (Hg) is one of the top toxic metals in environment and it poses a great risk to
organisms. This study aimed to elucidate the toxic effects of Hg 2+ on energy conversion of …

Mercury is a toxic element that harms organisms and disturbs biogeochemical cycles.
Mercury bioremediation is based on the reduction of Hg (II) to Hg (0) by mercury-resistant …

This chapter focuses on the classification of metal ions according to their toxicity and physico-
chemical characteristics. It summarizes the adverse effects of toxic metals on Rubisco and …
