Metagenomic approach reveals variation of microbes with arsenic and antimony metabolism genes from highly contaminated soil.

Microbes have great potential for arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) bioremediation in heavily contaminated soil because they have the ability to biotransform As and Sb to species that have less toxicity or are more easily removed. In this study, we integrated a metagenomic method with physicochemical c...
