Mercury (Hg) pollution is a global issue due to the high toxicity and wide dispersion of Hg
around the world. Whether due to anthropogenic activities or natural processes, Hg …

Abstract Mercury (Hg) methylation, methylmercury (MeHg) demethylation, and inorganic
redox transformations of Hg are microbe-mediating processes that determine the fate and …

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 …

Brownlee Reservoir is a mercury (Hg)-impaired hydroelectric reservoir that exhibits dynamic
hydrological and geochemical conditions and is located within the Hells Canyon Complex in …

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the largest anthropogenic source of
mercury emissions globally. Concern over mercury pollution increases due to its long-term …

Methylmercury is a potent bioaccumulating neurotoxin that is produced by specific
microorganisms that methylate inorganic mercury. Methylmercury production in diverse …

The gene pair hgcAB is essential for microbial mercury methylation. Our understanding of its
abundance and diversity in nature is rapidly evolving. In this study we developed a new …

Increased concentration of mercury, particularly methylmercury, in the environment is a
worldwide concern because of its toxicity in severely exposed humans. Although the …

The imbalance of nutrient elements in paddy soil could affect biogeochemical processes;
however, how the key elements input influence microbially-driven conversion of mercury …

Mercury concentrations in the Laurentian Great Lakes waters are among the lowest reported
in the literature, while game fish concentrations approach consumption advisory limits …
