• Arsenic Accumulation in Rice and Probable Mitigation Approaches: A Review (2017, background): “Volatilization of Arsenic Volatilization of arsenic can be done by conversion of inorganic arsenic to methylated organic species like MMA and DMA and finally to the gaseous trimethylarsine (TMA) through the production of transgenic plant harboring the bacterial gene AsIII-S-adenosyl methioninemethyl”
• Arsenic uptake and metabolism in plants. (2009, background): “This gene contains a ubiquinone/coenzyme Q5 (UbiE/Coq5) family protein motif, which is also present in the arsM genes from bacteria and archaea (Qin et al., 2006).”
• Review of arsenic speciation, toxicity and metabolism in microalgae (2015, background): “The reduction of As(V) to As(III) and subsequent methylation of As(III), with TMA as a final product lead to the loss of As from water and may play a significant role in the global As cycle (Qin et al. 2006).”
• The roles of membrane transporters in arsenic uptake, translocation and detoxification in plants (2020, background): “Some microorganisms are able to methylate As(III) to mono-, di- or tri-methyl arsenic species via the enzyme As(III) S-adenosylmethionine methyltransferase (ArsM) (Qin et al., 2006; 2009; Ye et al., 2012).”
• Arsenic and selenium in microbial metabolism. (2006, methodology): “Some species have multiple ars operons and tandem arsC genes (104).”
