The role of prokaryotic mercury methylators and demethylators in Canadian Arctic thermokarst lakes

2024-10-04

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Permafrost soils are critical reservoirs for mercury (Hg), with the thawing process leading to the release of this element into the environment, posing significant environmental risks. Of particular concern is the methylated form of mercury, monomethylmercury (MMHg), known for its adverse effects on Human health. Microbial communities play a pivotal role in the formation of MMHg by faci...
