Production of methylated mercury, lead, and cadmium by marine bacteria as a significant natural source for atmospheric heavy metals in polar regions

Mixed and pure bacterial cultures of polar origin were incubated in model experiments under polar conditions. The releasing rates of monomethyl and dimethyl mercury (MeHg + and Me 2Hg), trimethyl lead (Me 3Pb +), and monomethyl cadmium (MeCd +) were determined in dependence on the incubation time. T...
