Glutathione reductase plays a role in the metabolism of methylmercury degradation in <i>Rhodotorula mucilaginosa</i>
The remediation of methylmercury pollution is crucial for environmental health. The ability of <i>Rhodotorula mucilaginosa</i> to resist and degrade methylmercury offers a new avenue for bioremediation efforts. Understanding the metabolic pathways involved, particularly the role of glutathione reductase, enhances our knowledge of how <i>Rhodotorula mucilaginosa</i> responds to methylmercury and opens up new possibilities for future research in bioremediation strategies.
