Expanded Phylogenetic Diversity and Metabolic Flexibility of Mercury-Methylating Microorganisms
Methylmercury is a potent bioaccumulating neurotoxin that is produced by specific microorganisms that methylate inorganic mercury. Methylmercury production in diverse anaerobic bacteria and archaea was recently linked to the hgcAB genes. However, the full phylogenetic and metabolic diversity of merc...
