Molecular Characterization of Mercury Binding Ligands Released by Freshwater Algae Grown at Three Photoperiods

Interactions between algal derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) and mercury (Hg) are crucial for understanding the fate, transport, and bioavailability of Hg to methylating microorganisms. For the first time, high resolution mass spectrometry (Q-Exactive Orbitrap) was used to examine Hg binding li...
