Hello Mersorcium-mates,

Here's another reminder about our discussion session entitled "Transcription of hgcAB" that will be held Thursday April 4th, 2024 at 2 PM UTC.

Zoom link -> https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/67995339727

The session will start with a brief overview of the published literature on this topic from culture-based and environmental studies. For those of you that haven't thought about this topic in a little while, here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yeVGRvcdtkZisc4cr-jOqTad9KvoYU_3egQa-35R41I/edit?usp=sharing) is a list of some relevant papers. This by no means is a comprehensive list, but it should give you a good overview of where the field is at. This review will be followed by a discussion focused on sharing and generating ideas about how hgcA transcription is regulated, what this means for environmental MeHg formation, and what work needs to be done to push this field forward.

If you have unpublished (or published) data and/or ongoing work in this area and would like to contribute a slide or discussion question, please contact Ben Peterson at bdpet...@ucdavis.edu.

We are looking forward to discussing this relevant topic, and we hope to see many of you there!

Mersorcium seminar committee

Hello Mersorcium-mates,

We are excited to announce another discussion session! This one will be entitled “Transcription of hgcAB”. It will be held Thursday April 4th, 2024 at 2 PM UTC.

Zoom link -> https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/67995339727

It will include a brief overview of the published literature on this topic from culture-based and environmental studies and some new data, followed by a discussion focused on bringing together these different studies to generate ideas about how hgcAB transcription is regulated, what this means for environmental MeHg formation, and what work needs to be done to push this field forward. For those of you that haven’t thought about this topic in a little while, next week we’ll send out a “reading list” of some of the literature that we’ll discuss.

If you have unpublished (or published) data and/or ongoing work in this area and would like to contribute a couple of slides or some discussion questions, please contact Ben Peterson at bdpet...@ucdavis.edu

Additionally, if you notice any glaring gaps in our “reading list”, please pass along those papers as well.

We are looking forward to this discussion! This is an important topic, and the previous Mersorcium discussion sessions have generated some great ideas. We hope to see you all there!
