A consensus protocol for the recovery of mercury methylation genes from metagenomes

E. Capo, B. D. Peterson, M. Kim, D. S. Jones, S. G. Acinas, M. Amyot, S. Bertilsson, E. Bjorn, M. Buck, C. Cosio, D. Elias, C. Gilmour, M. Goni, B. Gu, H. Lin, , C. M. Gionfriddo

The paper presents a standardized protocol and bioinformatic pipeline for detecting and quantifying mercury methylation genes (hgcAB) in metagenomes, showing comparable efficiency between single and co-assembly approaches.

Abundance and expression of hgcAB genes and mercury availability jointly explain methylmercury formation in stratified brackish waters

E. Capo, C. Feng, A. G. Bravo, S. Bertilsson, A. L. Soerensen, J. Pinhassi, M. Buck, C. Karlsson, J. Hawkes, E. Björn

The paper investigates how hgcA gene abundance and HgII-sulfide concentrations predict methylmercury formation in stratified brackish waters.

Prevalence of heterotrophic methylmercury detoxifying bacteria across oceanic regions

I. Sanz-Saez, C. Pereira Garcia, A. G. Bravo, L. Trujillo, M. Pla i Ferriol, M. Capilla, P. Sanchez, R. d. C. Rodriguez Martin-Doimeadios, S. G. Acinas, O. Sanchez

The paper examines mercury resistance genes in marine bacteria, finding they are widely distributed in oceanic regions, including the bathypelagic zone, with some strains efficiently degrading methylmercury.
