Arsenic (As) has become natural health hazard for millions of people across the world due to its distribution in the food chain. Naturally, it is present in different oxidative states of inorganic [As(V) and As(III)] and organic (DMA, MMA and TMA) forms. Among different mitigation approaches, microbe mediated mitigation of As toxicity is an effective and eco-friendly approach. The present study involves the characterization of bacterial strains containing arsenite methyltransferase (Pseudomonas oleovorans, B4.10); arsenate reductase (Sphingobacterium puteale, B4.22) and arsenite oxidase (Citrobacter sp., B5.12) activity with plant growth promoting (PGP) traits. Efficient reduction of grain As content by 61 % was observed due to inoculation of methyltransferase containing B4.10 as compared to B4.22 (47 %) and B5.12 (49 %). Reduced bioaccumulation of As in root (0.339) and shoot (0.166) in presence of B4.10 was found to be inversely related with translocation factor for Mn (3.28), Fe (0.073), and Se (1.82). Bioaccumulation of these micro elements was found to be associated with the modulated expression of different mineral transporters (OsIRT2, OsFRO2, OsTOM1, OsSultr4;1, and OsZIP2) in rice shoot. Improved dehydrogenase (407 %), and β-glucosidase (97 %) activity in presence of P. oleovorans (B4.10) as compared to arsenate reductase (198 and 50 %), and arsenite oxidase (134 and 69 %) containing bacteria was also observed. Our finding confers the potential of methyltransferase positive P. oleovorans (B4.10) for As stress amelioration. Reduced grain As uptake was found to be mediated by improved plant growth and nutrient uptake associated with enhanced soil microbial activity.
