In this study, an arsenic (As)-resistant facultative endophytic bacterial strain, F2, was isolated from the root of Oryza sativa Longliangyou Huazhan and identified as Serratia liquefaciens according to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Strain F2 was characterized for i) its impacts on As immobilization in solution and rice tissue As accumulation, and ii) the mechanisms involved for different levels of As-pollution in soils. In strain F2-inoculated culture medium, the concentration of As decreased, while the pH, cell growth, and cell-immobilized As significantly increased over time. Grain As content reduced by between 23 and 36% in strain F2-inoculated rice plants in comparison to the control. Available As content decreased by between 28 and 52%, but unavailable As content increased by between 27 and 46% in the strain F2-inoculated soil when compared with the controls. Moreover, the strain decreased the As translocation factor by between 34 and 46%, but increased the As concentration by between 24 and 70% in Fe plaque on the rice root surfaces in comparison to the controls. These results suggested that strain F2 decreased the rice grain As uptake by i) decreasing available As in soil, ii) increasing rice root surface As adsorption, and iii) decreasing As translocation from the roots to grains. Our findings may provide a new rice-derived facultative endophytic bacteria-assisted approach for decreasing the As uptake to rice grains in As-polluted soils.
