Résumé

Molybdate inhibits sulfate respiration in sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). It is used as an inhibitor to indirectly evaluate the role of SRB in mercury methylation in the environment. Here, the SRB Pseudodesulfovibrio hydrargyri BerOc1 was used to assess the effect of molybdate on cell growth and mercury methylation under various metabolic conditions. Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA was used as the non-SRB counterpart strain with the ability to methylate mercury. While PCA growth and methylation are not affected by molybdate, 1 mM of molybdate inhibits BerOc1 growth under sulfate respiration (50% inhibition) but also under fumarate respiration (complete inhibition). Even more surprising, mercury methylation of BerOc1 is totally inhibited at 0.1 mM of molybdate when grown under sulfate or fumarate respiration with pyruvate as the electron donor. As molybdate is expected to reduce cellular ATP level, the lower Hg methylation observed with pyruvate could be the consequence of lower energy production. Although molybdate alters the expression of hgcA (mercury methylation marker) and sat (involved in sulfate reduction and molybdate sensitivity) in a metabolism-dependent manner, no relationship with mercury methylation rates could be found. Our results show, for the first time, a specific mercury methylation inhibition by molybdate in SRB.
