Methylmercury formation in biofilms of Geobacter sulfurreducens [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionMercury (Hg) is a major environmental pollutant that accumulates in biota predominantly in the form of methylmercury (MeHg). Surface-associated microbial communities (biofilms) represent an important source of MeHg in natural aquatic systems.
