Expanded Phylogenetic Diversity and Metabolic Flexibility of Mercury-Methylating Microorganisms
Accurately assessing the production of bioaccumulative neurotoxic methylmercury by characterizing the phylogenetic diversity, metabolic functions, and activity of methylators in the environment is crucial for understanding constraints on the mercury cycle. Much of our understanding of methylmercury...
