Microorganisms play a key role in the natural circulation of various constituent elements of
metal sulfides. Some microorganisms (such as Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) can promote the …

Mercury (Hg) is one of the most toxic global pollutants of continuing concern, posing a
severe threat to human health and wildlife. Due to its mobility, Hg is easily transported …

Estuaries are sinks for mercury, in which the most toxic mercury form, neurotoxic
methylmercury (MeHg), is produced by mercury methylators and accumulates in estuarine …

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 …

Methylmercury formation is mainly driven by microbial-mediated process. The mechanism of
microbial mercury methylation has become a crucial research topic for understanding …

Plastic debris dispersed into the environment provide a substrate for microbial colonization,
constituting a new human-made ecosystem called “plastisphere”, and altering the microbial …

Among potential toxic elements (PTEs), arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) are well known for
the toxicity of their different chemical species and diffusion in the environment via several …

Mercury (Hg) methylation is a microbially mediated process that produces methylmercury
(MeHg), a bioaccumulative neurotoxin. A highly conserved gene pair, hgcAB, is required for …

In heavy metal-contaminated croplands, plant-associated microorganisms play important
roles in the adaptation of crops to heavy metals. Plant-associated microbes can interact with …
