Mercury methylation is the process of forming methylmercury (MeHg). The methylation of mercury can occur abiotically or biotically. Biotically, the primary methylators of mercury are sulfate-reducing and iron-reducing bacteria.[1] Three mechanisms have been proposed for the biotic methylation of mercury by sulfate-reducing bacteria.[2] Mercury methylation can be problematic as methylmercury is toxic and can be bio-magnified through the food web.[2]
