Volatilization of mercury compounds by methylmercury-volatilizing bacteria in Minamata Bay sediment
The characteristics of the methylmercury-volatilizing bacteria in sediments of Minamata Bay, Japan, were studied, as was the volatilization of various mercury compounds by these bacteria. Of 1068 bacterial strains isolated from sediment samples, only 80 were found to volatilize methylmercury by meas...

| description | The characteristics of the methylmercury-volatilizing bacteria in sediments of Minamata Bay, Japan, were studied, as was the volatilization of various mercury compounds by these bacteria. Of 1068 bacterial strains isolated from sediment samples, only 80 were found to volatilize methylmercury by measuring Hg loss in liquid media containing methylmercury. These strains were composed of 60 Bacillus species, 15 Pseudomonas sp., three Moraxella sp., and two unclassified gram-negative rods. All of the methylmercury-volatilizing bacteria were able to volatilize each of the Hg compounds tested. Results suggest that these bacteria play an important role in the Hg cycle of Minamata Bay. |
