Examination of Animal Gut Microbiota and Mercury Reveals the Importance of Diet in This Relationship
Methylmercury (MeHg) is a global pollutant that can bioaccumulate and biomagnify along the aquatic food chain, causing adverse outcomes in humans and wildlife. Effective biomonitoring programs are needed to identify high exposure populations and to develop proper mitigation strategies. However, biom...
