Some Bacteria and Archaea have evolved resistance mechanisms to mercury compounds, this resistance is encoded in the mer operon. So, the microorganisms that have merA and merB genes can completely transform the neurotoxic form of MeHg in the volatile form of mercury. Despite the persistence of mercury there is no information about the mercury detoxification processes in Barcelona continental shelf. Therefore, the aim of this study is to detect the presence of merA and merB in past (1987 and 2008) and present (from two months April and May 2018) sediment samples from the Barcelona continental shelf.

  • Mercury Methylation by Metabolically Versatile and Cosmopolitan Marine Bacteria

Moreau Received: 3 June 2020 / Accepted: 17 December 2020 © The Author(s) 2021. This article is published with open access Abstract Microbes transform aqueous mercury (Hg) into methylmercury (MeHg), a potent neurotoxin that accumulates in terrestrial and marine food webs, with potential impacts on human health. This process requires the gene pair hgcAB, which encodes for proteins that actuate Hg methylation, and has been well described for anoxic environments. However, recent studies report potential MeHg formation in suboxic seawater, although the microorganisms involved remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted large-scale multi-omic analyses to search for putative microbial Hg methylators along defined redox gradients in Saanich Inlet, British Columbia, a model natural ecosystem with previously measured Hg and MeHg fi fi fi 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: concentration pro les. Analysis of gene expression pro les along the redoxcline identi ed several putative Hg methylating microbial groups, including Calditrichaeota, SAR324 and Marinimicrobia, with the last the most active based on hgc transcription levels. Marinimicrobia hgc genes were identified from multiple publicly available marine metagenomes, consistent with a potential key role in marine Hg methylation. Computational homology modelling predicts that Marinimicrobia HgcAB proteins contain the highly conserved amino acid sites and folding structures required for functional Hg methylation.
