The bioavailability of the metalloid arsenic (As) in paddy soil is controlled by microbial cycling of As and other elements such as iron (Fe) and sulfur (S), which are strongly influenced by water management in paddy fields. In this study, we evaluated how water management affects As bioavailability by growing rice plants in a geogenic As-contaminated soil. We determined As speciation in soil porewater and the diversity of the associated microbial community. Continuous flooding enhanced the release of Fe and As and increased arsenite (As(III)) and methylated As species concentrations in the rice grain compared with aerobic treatment. Total inorganic and organic As in the grain was 84% and 81% lower, respectively, in the aerobic treatment compared with the continuous flooding treatment. The amounts of Fe(III)-reducing bacteria (FeRB) increased in the flooded rhizosphere soil. The abundance of FeRB in the soil correlated with the dissolution of Fe and As. Among the As-transformation genes quantified, theaioAgene for As(III) oxidation andarsMgene for As(III) methylation were most abundant. ThearsMcopy number correlated positively with the levels ofdsrB(dissimilatory (bi) sulfite reductaseβ-subunit), suggesting that dissimilatory sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) may play an important role in dimethylarsenate (DMAs(V)) production in soil. Our results show that decreased populations of rhizosphere FeRB and SRB contributed to a lower bioavailability of As, and decreased production of methylated arsenicals under oxic conditions.
