Mechanistic Insights into the Impacts of Microplastics on the Fate of Mercury and Methylmercury in a Simplified Estuarine Model System
Estuaries are co-pollution hotspots for mercury (Hg) and microplastics (MPs), yet the role of MPs in microbial methylmercury (MeHg) production remains unclear. Using Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA as a model methylator, we investigated MP-Hg-microbe interactions in a controlled laboratory system. Both micron- and milli...
