About this document
Methylated Arsenic in Plants from Soil Microbes by Aristides is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the methylation of inorganic arsenic (iAs) in plants, specifically rice, tomato, and red clover, to determine if they can methylate arsenic themselves. The findings indicate that while plants can uptake methylated arsenic species produced by soil microorganisms, they do not have the capability to methylate iAs on their own. The presence of microbial arsenic methyltransferase genes in soil suggests that the methylated arsenic detected in plants originates from microbial activity rathe
