The conversion of inorganic mercury (Hg(II)) to methylmercury (MeHg) is central to the understanding of Hg toxicity in the environment. Hg methylation occurs in the cytosol of certain obligate anaerobic bacteria and archaea possessing the hgcAB gene cluster. However, the processes involved in Hg(II) biouptake and methylation are not well understood. Here, we examined the role of cell surface thiols, cellular ligands with the highest affinity for Hg(II) that are located at the interface between the outer membrane and external medium, o
