| Abstract |
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), ubiquitous symbiotic fungi associated with the majority of terrestrial plants, were demonstrated to play important roles in arsenic (As) translocation and transformation in the plant-soil continuum, and substantially influence plant As tolerance. However, the direct involvement of AMF in As methylation and volatilization and their molecular mechanisms remain unsolved. Here, an arsenite methyltransferase gene RiMT-11 was identified and characterized from AM fungus Rhizophagus irregularis. Heterologous expression of RiMT-11 enhanced arsenite resistance of E. coli (Δars) through methylating As into monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) and ultimately volatile trimethyl arsine (TMAs). In a two-compartment in vitro monoxenic cultivation system, methylated and volatile As were also detected from AM symbioses with arsenate addition, accompanied by strong up-regulation of RiMT-11 expression in extraradical hyphae. The present study provided direct evidence and illustrated an underlying mechanism of As methylation and volatilization by AMF, leading to a deeper insight into the role of AMF in As biogeochemical cycling. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 September 2018.
All research outputs
#22,767,715
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Chemosphere
#11,386
of 13,460 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#299,481
of 341,526 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Chemosphere
#137
of 198 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,460 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,526 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 198 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
