OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Nov. 18 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Researchers have identified a molecule essential for the microbial conversion of less toxic inorganic mercury into the neurotoxin methylmercury, moving closer to blocking the dangerous pollutant before it forms.
In 2013, scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory identified two genes required for methylmercury formation. Now, ORNL has assis . . .
