Project Title
Mercury Methylation
Presentation Link
I investigated mercury methylation and uptake in /Geobacter/ sulfurreducens. I looked into the effects of cysteine and zinc on the methylation rate. I ran experiments to see if the Zn competed with mercury for uptake or if the zinc limited the rate of growth of the cells.
