A team led by the University of Alberta has confirmed that inorganic mercury (Hg) found worldwide in ocean water is transformed into monomethylmercury (MMHg)—a potent and bio-accumulative neurotoxin—in the seawater. Methylation, in this case, is the addition of a methyl group to heavy metals catalyzed by certain enzymes.
