Microbial Ecology | SpotlightPeriphyton and Flocculent Materials Are Important Ecological Compartments Supporting Abundant and Diverse Mercury Methylator Assemblages in the Florida EvergladesMethylmercury is a potent neurotoxin that impacts the health of humans and wildlife. Most mercury in wetlands such as the Florida Everglades enters as inorganic mercury via atmospheric deposition, some of which is transformed to the more toxic methylmercury through the activities of anaerobic microorganisms. We investigated the numbers and phylogenetic diversity of hgcAB, genes that are linked to mercury methylation, in the...
GeomicrobiologyWetland Sediments Host Diverse Microbial Taxa Capable of Cycling AlcoholsUnderstanding patterns of organic matter degradation in wetlands is essential for identifying the substrates and mechanisms supporting greenhouse gas production and emissions from wetlands, the main natural source of methane in the atmosphere. Alcohols are common fermentation products but are poorly studied as key intermediates in organic matter degradation in wetlands. By investigating genes, pathways, and microorganisms potentially...
