摘要

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a highly toxic form of mercury that bioaccumulates in aquatic food chains. However, methods to reliably identify sites of MeHg formation or to quantify MeHg production require the use of isotopic tracers, which limits their use. In this paper, a method is presented to quantify the methylation of mercury by a methyltransferase pathway. This methyltrans- ferase pathway is one of the biochemical pathways responsible for biological mercury methylation. Protein is extracted from environmental samples, and mercury methyltransferase(HgMT)activity of soil extracts is calculated by assessing increases in methyltransferase activity induced by Hg addition.
