New insights into the biomineralization of mercury selenide nanoparticles through stable isotope analysis in giant petrel tissues
International audience Tiemannite (HgSe) is considered the end-product of methylmercury (MeHg) demethylation in vertebrates. The biomineralization of HgSe nanoparticles (NPs) is understood to be an efficient MeHg detoxification mechanism; however, the process has not yet been fully elucidated. In or...
