Abstract: The sulfate-reducing, mercury-methylating strain ND132T was isolated from the brackish anaerobic bottom sediments of Chesapeake Bay, USA. Capable of high levels of mercury (Hg) methylation, ND132T has been widely used as a model strain to… read more here.

Abstract: This work reveals a link between microbial mercury methylation and arsenic resistance and may hold clues to the evolution of mercury methylation genes (hgcAB). Microbes with hgcAB produce methylmercury, a strong neurotoxin that readily accumulates… read more here.
