Marine free-living (FL) and plankton-associated prokaryotes (plankton-microbiota) are at the basis of trophic webs and play crucial roles in the transfer and cycling of nutrients, organic …
Mercury is a toxic pollutant that poses risks for the human population, mainly by eating contaminated fish. Mercury is released into the atmosphere from a variety of anthropogenic …
Planktonic organisms, which have direct contact with water, serve as the entry point for mercury (Hg), into the marine food web, impacting its levels in higher organisms, including …
Coastal sediments constitute a major reservoir for natural and anthropogenic mercury (Hg) and can be used as geochronological records of past Hg deposition. They may also act as …
Three surveys were carried out to study the phytoplankton role in influencing the Hg distribution in a poorly eutrophic estuary by measuring the total Hg (THg) and methylHg …

Mediterranean marine biota suffers from various anthropogenic threats. Among them, pollutants such as mercury (Hg) represent important environmental issues that are …
The accumulation of dissolved mercury (Hg) by phytoplankton is the largest concentration step along aquatic food chains. However, the cell uptake mechanisms remain unclear. In …
