Biotransformation of mercurials by intestinal microorganisms isolated from yellowfin tuna
Copyright policy )Biotransformation of mercurials by intestinal microorganisms isolated from yellowfin tuna
Mercury accumulated in tuna fish is mostly in the form of methylmercury (KAMPS et al. 1972, RIVERS et al. 1972, PAN-HOU & IMURA 1980). It is most probable that the accumulation of methylmercury is via the food chain. Yet, the possibility of mercury methylation in tuna fish cannot be ruled out, since we have reported that liver homogenates from some kinds of tuna fish, which contained higher level of methylmercury, have a relatively high ability to form methylmercury from inorganic mercury in vitro (IMURA et al. 1972).
