Redox gradient shapes the abundance and diversity of mercury-methylating microorganisms along the water column of the Black Sea

ABSTRACT In the global context of seawater deoxygenation triggered by climate change and anthropogenic activities, changes in redox gradients impacting biogeochemical transformations of pollutants, such as mercury, become more likely. Being the largest anoxic basin worldwide, with high concentration...
