Arsenic (As) contamination in environment is a serious problem worldwide in soil, water and crops affecting economy and risk to human health. Rice is a major crop with As accumulation potent due to irrigation and cultivation. In this study, the effect of cadmium (Cd)-tolerant and arsenite (As(III))-oxidizing bacteria on the reduction of As toxicity and accumulation in RD10 rice seedlings was demonstrated. Co-culture of Cd-tolerant Cupriavidus taiwanensis KKU2500-3 and As-oxidizing strains (4.25, 4.27, or 4.44) were able to colonize rice seedlings and grown in nutrient solution supplemented with 15 µM of As(III) and 30 µM of arsenate As(V). Compared with the un-inoculated control, bacteria enhanced rice growth parameters when grown in As solution. Shoot and root length and biomass increased by 1.42-38.36%. Co-inoculation with KKU2500-3 and 4.25 exhibited the highest shoot length and pigment content. While, co-inoculation with KKU2500-3 and 4.44 resulted in the highest root length and biomass. Rice seedlings inoculated with bacteria increased inorganic sulfide in roots and showed a negative correlation with As content in shoots (r=-0.97*). The arsenic content in shoot inoculated with KKU2500-3/4.25 was 41.84 mg/kg or reduced by 24.55% (translocation factor= 0.099) when compared with the control (55.45 mg/kg). However, the As content of these seedlings was higher than other co-inoculation (464.12 mg/kg). Rice seedlings inoculated with KKU2500-3 and 4.44 strains showed the lowest As accumulation at 354.56 mg/kg. The results indicated that co-inoculation of Cd-tolerant and As-oxidizing bacteria affect the ability to mitigate As toxicity and accumulation in rice seedlings.
