Abstract

metals contamination (e.g. Phragmites australis, Scirpusmaritumus and Juncus maritimus), may provide evidence ofthe distinct interactions between plant, bacteria and mer-cury and on mercury methylation and availability. Thus pos-sible plant species specific processes should also be assessed.AcknowledgementsThis study was supported by the Portuguese Foundationfor Science and Technology (FCT) through a Ph.D grantnumber SFRH/BD/18682/2004 (M. Va´lega). The authorswould like to acknowledge PS Analytical Ltd (UK) forthe kindness in offering all the laboratory facilities and con-ditions to perform the methylmercury analysis.References
