Variability in arsenic methylation efficiency across aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Karen Elda Viacava Romo, Arnaud Michel Gelb, Leia Soraya Véronique Falquet, Shannon Eliot Dyer, Adrien Mestrot

Microbially-mediated methylation of arsenic (As) plays an important role in the As biogeochemical cycle, particularly in rice paddy soils where methylated As, generated microbially, is translocated into rice grains. The presence of the arsenite (As(III)) m ...

Tropical soils degraded by slash-and-burn cultivation can be recultivated when amended with ashes and compost

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills, Justine Marie Gay des Combes, Muhammad Saleem Arif, Leia Soraya Véronique Falquet, Clara Sanz Carrillo

In many tropical regions, slash-and-burn agriculture is considered as a driver of deforestation; the forest is converted into agricultural land by cutting and burning the trees. However, the fields are abandoned after few years because of yield decrease an ...

Arsenic methylation dynamics in a rice paddy soil anaerobic enrichment culture

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Julien Maillard, Alexandre Bagnoud, Leia Soraya Véronique Falquet, Matthew Charles Reid

Methylated arsenic (As) species represent a significant fraction of the As accumulating in rice grains, and there are geographic patterns in the abundance of methylated arsenic in rice that are not understood. The microorganisms driving As biomethylation i ...
