Reduction in arsenic toxicity and uptake in rice (Oryza sativa L.) by As-resistant purple nonsulfur bacteria

This study aimed to investigate the potential of Rhodopseudomonas palustris C1 and Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus C31 to ameliorate As toxicity and to reduce As uptake in rice. Strain C1 was superior to strain C31 for siderophore production. The mixed culture (1: 1) was most effective in reducing the to...
