This thesis is dedicated to the study of the biogeochemical cycle of Hg (Hg) in the high altitude (3800m a.s.l.) and tropical aquatic ecosystem Uru-Uru, located on the Bolivian Altiplano. The aim of this study is to gather information about the concentration levels of different Hg species, and to understand the mechanisms involved in the formation of methylHg (MMHg) which bioaccumulates in trophic food webs. In this environment, Hg methylation is mediated predominantly by sulphate-reducing bacteria. Floating bio-inorganic aggregates and surface sediments contributes significantly to the MMHg pool of the ecosystem. The partition coefficients of MMHg and inorganic Hg (iHg) suggest that sediments are the main source of MMHg to the water column...
