英文摘要

This study aims to investigate methylmercury (MeHg) demethylation processes in human gut. Here, we determined the compositions and MeHg demethylation rates of gut microbiota in residents from different Hg exposure levels (Wanshan (WS) town and Yangtou (YT) town) and different Hg exposure sources (Zhuchang (ZC) town and YT town) regions. MeHg and inorganic Hg exposure levels in residents of WS town were significantly higher than those of YT and ZC town. Desulfovibrio and Methanogens, which related to Hg methylation/demethylation, showed significantly higher abundance in WS and ZC, comparing with YT. In vitro experiments demonstrated that human intestinal microbiota could degrade MeHg directly. Besides, gut microbiota in WS and ZC exhibited significantly higher demethylation rates than YT, suggesting Desulfovibrio and Methanogens may play important roles in intestinal MeHg demethylation. This study highlights Hg exposure levels and sources may affect demethylation efficiency of gut microbiota, which provides new insights for MeHg demethylation processes in human body.
