Bacterial demethylation of methylmercury in the South Florida Ecosystem
Entry ID:
USGS_SOFIA_mmarvin
Summary
Abstract:
Methylmercury (MeHg) degradation was investigated along an eutrophication gradient in the Florida Everglades by quantifying 14CH4 and 14CO2 production after incubation of anaerobic sediments with 14C-MeHg. Degradation rate constants (k) were consistently <=0.1 per day, and decreased with sediment depth. Higher k values were observed when shorter incubation times and lower MeHg amendment levels ...
