Although mercury (Hg) is toxic at all valence states, organic Hg, especially
monomethylmercury (MeHg, CH3Hg+, methylmercury), is more toxic than inorganic Hg (Hg …

Epiphytic biofilm is an important component in freshwater ecosystems and is one of the main
primary producers in shallow freshwater ecosystems. The epiphytic biofilm is comprised of …

Mercury (Hg) and its organic compounds, especially monomethylmercury (MeHg), cause
major damage to the ecosystem and human health. In surface water or sediments …

Recent studies demonstrate a short 3–6-month atmospheric lifetime for mercury (Hg). This
implies Hg emissions are predominantly deposited within the same hemisphere in which …

The biological mobilization of mercury (Hg) into microbes capable of Hg methylation is one
of the limiting steps in the formation of the neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg). Although algal …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant emitted primarily as gaseous Hg0 that is deposited in
aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems following its oxidation to HgII. From that point, microbes …

In the environmental cycle of mercury (Hg), plants link the atmosphere, soil sphere,
hydrosphere, and biosphere, serving as important sites for Hg transformation and …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant of environmental and health concern; its methylated form,
methylmercury (MeHg), is a potent neurotoxin. Sulfur-containing molecules play a role in …

The freshwater lakes of southwestern France are subject to the development of invasive
macrophytes which are associated with mercury (Hg) contamination of the food web. The …

Invasive macrophytes are a persistent environmental problem in aquatic ecosystems. They
also cause potential health issues, since periphyton colonizing their aquatic roots are hot …
