N2 - The kinetics of mercury binding by pectin isolated from the seagrass Zostera marina was described, and its maximum mercury binding activity at pH from 2.0 up to 6.0 was determined. It was shown that mercury binding by pectin in in vitro conditions did not depend on concentration of hydrogen ions in the environment. The maximum mercury binding activity estimated from the Langmuir equation was 2.64 mmol/g of dry mass of the pectin.
