Review. A cited disruption of aioA decreased Sb(III) oxidation by 25 percent in one strain (PDF p.6). The review states that the genes required for antimony methylation are still unknown (PDF p.8-9).
Key numbers
Review. A cited disruption of aioA decreased Sb(III) oxidation by 25 percent in one strain (PDF p.6). The review states that the genes required for antimony methylation are still unknown (PDF p.8-9).
Methods (brief)
No new experiment. Methylated antimony is described as reported from fungi, archaea, and bacteria.
Evidence fitness
Supports the review’s own statements. Does not support a named methylation gene in an infant gut.
Limitations
Later papers, including Thomas 2011, narrow the methylation statement without closing it.
