Mercury methylation by metabolically versatile and cosmopolitan marine bacteria

Summary: This study identified potential novel marine Hg-methylating microorganisms with greater oxygen tolerance and broader habitat range than previously recognized, by conducting large-scale multi-omic analyses in a natural ecosystem and analyzing gene expression profiles along defined redox gradients. The findings highlighted the presence of putative microbial Hg methylators, such as Calditrichaeota, SAR324, and Marinimicrobia, with the latter showing the highest activity levels based on hgc transcription. Computational modeling predicted the functionality of HgcAB proteins from Marinimicrobia in Hg methylation, suggesting a key role in marine Hg methylation for this microbial group. Additionally, the study also associated several putative novel Hg methylators with terminal oxidases from aerobic respiratory chains.
