“…The high intensity of solar radiation and high water temperatures (Table 1) accelerate the absorption of nutrients by the algae. The eutrophication process compromises the water quality, being reflected in the proliferation of algae, oxygen deficit, bad odors and the excessive growth of macrophytes (CORREIA; MIRANDA; GUIMARÃES, 2012;KARADŽI et al, 2010).…”

“…The rapid process of degradation of bodies of water has become a serious problem in water body around the world (BARBOSA et al, 2006;CORREIA;MIRANDA;GUIMARÃES, 2012). In addition to this fact, water stored in surface reservoirs may ndergo significant changes on a temporal and spatial scale, substantially altering conditions of usage for those who benefit from such water (COOK et al, 2010).…”

“…Liu et al (2015) found no relationship for MeHg concentrations and trends in water column hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico, although potential rates of both methylation and demethylation were higher than in other coastal systems ( Table 1). Methylation in macrophyte roots of tropical lakes was observed only in lakes with oxic conditions (Correia et al 2012). Another study detected methylation in the proximity of marine snow, which are aggregates of exopolymers, planktonic and bacterial cells, and organic matter that form differently sized particles 300 μm or greater (Ortiz et al 2015).…”

“…In fact, Bravo et al (2015) found that SRB were not the primary methylators in sewage treatment plants, though specific identification of the methylators was not possible. Correia et al (2012) asserted that methylation depends on complex interactions among microorganisms, including prokaryotes, algae, fungi, and methanogens, suggesting that syntrophy may have a role in methylation. Iron-reducing bacteria (IRB) have also been implicated in methylation (Yu et al 2012).…”

“…The role of bacteria associated with aquatic macrophytes in freshwater environments has been established in in vitro radio-assays, showing that methylation rates may attain 36% (Achá et al 2005, Correia et al 2012. After Guimarães et al (2000).…”
