Abstract

Arsenic (As) is a toxic semi-metallic element that is ubiquitous in the environment and poses serious human health risks. Phytoextraction by Pteris vittata is considered a low-cost and environmentally friendly approach to treat As-contaminated soil. P. vittata mainly absorbs arsenate thus the bioavailability of As to P. vittata depends on the chemical form of As. Microbial redox of As contributes to the biogeochemical cycling of As, and rhizobacterium-assisted phytoextraction by P. vittata was proposed. In this study, this microbe-assisted phytoextraction was applied to two fields, and the effectiveness of phytoextraction was evaluated. The results revealed that P. vittata was able to grow in temperate and subarctic climate zones. The biomass was influenced by the weather, and the As concentration in plants was dependent on the As content in the soil. The ratio of arsenite oxidase genes ( aioA -like genes) to 16S rRNA genes was employed to evaluate the effect of As phytoextraction, and the results exhibited that the ratio was related to the As concentration in P. vittata . Our results showed that arsenite oxidation in the rhizosphere might not be achieved by single-strain inoculation, while this study provided empirical evidence that the rhizospheric aioA -like genes could be an indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of As phytoextraction.
