Environmental MicrobiologyKinetics of Enzymatic Mercury Methylation at Nanomolar Concentrations Catalyzed by HgcABThe concentration of Hg in the biosphere has increased dramatically over the last century as a result of industrial activities. The microbial conversion of inorganic Hg to MeHg is a global public health concern due to bioaccumulation and biomagnification of MeHg in food webs. Exposure to neurotoxic MeHg through the consumption of fish represents a significant risk to human health and can result in neuropathies and developmental...
MinireviewMolecular Hydrogen, a Neglected Key Driver of Soil Biogeochemical ProcessesThe atmosphere of the early Earth is hypothesized to have been rich in reducing gases such as hydrogen (H2). H2 has been proposed as the first electron donor leading to ATP synthesis due to its ubiquity throughout the biosphere as well as its ability to easily diffuse through microbial cells and its low activation energy requirement.
