Using global marine metagenomics to understand mercury microbial associated processes in the deep ocean
Microbes are important drivers of biogeochemical processes determining the fate of mercury (Hg) in the aquatic systems. In particular, they have a relevant role on formation and degradation of methylmercury (MeHg) but also on the reduction of inorganic divalent Hg (HgII) to elemental Hg0. Yet, little is known about the diversity and expression of the organisms involved in MeHg demethylation …
