• High methylation rates of mercury bound to cysteine by Geobacter sulfurreducens (2009, background): “, but it has become clear that other anaerobes such as iron reducer”
• Geobacter: the microbe electric's physiology, ecology, and practical applications. (2011, background): “Some Geobacter species can methylate mercury and their activity may be an important source of this environmental toxin in iron-rich freshwater sediments (Fleming et al., 2006).”
• Overview of Mercury Methylation Capacities among Anaerobic Bacteria Including Representatives of the Sulphate-Reducers: Implications for Environmental Studies (2009, background): “In addition, the capacity for mercury methylation has been demonstrated for some iron-reducing Geobacter species, phylogenetically close to some SRB within the delta-Proteobacteria (Fleming et al. 2006; Kerin et al. 2006).”
