Biochemical characterization and mercury methylation capacity of Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms grown in media containing iron hydroxide or fumarate
Geobacter species are common in iron-rich environments and can contribute to formation of methylmercury (MeHg), a neurotoxic compound with high bioaccumulation potential formed as a result of bacterial and archaeal physiological activity. Geobacter sulfurreducens can utilize various electron accepto...
