摘要

The anaerobic bacterium Geobacter bemidijensis Bern has the unique ability to both produce and degrade methylmercury (MeHg). While the adsorption of MeHg onto bacterial surfaces can affect the release of MeHg into aquatic environments as well as the uptake of MeHg for demethylation, the binding of MeHg to the bacterial envelope remains poorly understood. In this study, we quantified the adsorption of MeHg onto G. bemidijensis and applied X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to elucidate the mechanism of MeHg binding. The results showed MeHg adsorption onto G. bemidijensis cell surfaces was rapid and occurred via complexation to sulfhydryl functional groups. Titration experiments yielded cell surface sulfhydryl concentrations of 3.8 +/- 0.2 mu mol/g (wet cells). A one-site adsorption model with MeHg binding onto sulfhydryl sites provided excellent fits to adsorption isotherms conducted at different cell densities. The log K binding constant of MeHg onto the sulfhydryl sites was determined to be 10.5 +/- 0.4. These findings provide a quantitative framework to describe MeHg binding onto bacterial cell surfaces and elucidate the importance of bacterial cells as possible carriers of adsorbed MeHg in natural aquatic systems.
