Generational Specific Recruitment of Arsenic- and Antimony-Reducing Microorganisms in Plant Root-Associated Niches for Adapting to Metalloid-Metal Pollution

The recruitment of microorganisms by plants can enhance their adaptability to environmental stressors, but how root-associated niches recruit specific microorganisms for adapting to metalloid-metal contamination is not well-understood. This study investigated the generational recruitment of microorganisms in different root niches of
