Microbial potential to mitigate neurotoxic methylmercury accumulation in farmlands and rice

Abstract Toxic methylmercury (CH3Hg+) is produced by microbial conversion of inorganic mercury in hypoxic environments such as rice paddy soils, and can accumulate in rice grains. Although microbial demethylation has been recognized as a crucial pathway for CH3Hg+ degradation, the identities of micr...
