Role of different microbial compartments (biofilms, suspended matters, surface sediment) and some of them components (bacterial cells, extracellular polymeric substances and biominerals) on HgII methylation and reduction

Monomethylmercury formation, the neurotoxic form of mercury, is mainly linked to anaerobic microbial activity. In order to assess the relative contribution of several microbial compartments (biofilms, raw water and sediment) we evaluated methylation of samples from ponds of temperate area (Lorraine,...
