A model to describe the rates of microbially mediated transformations is presented along with a simple numerical method for kinetic computations in complex systems. The model is tested against the results of arsenic demethylation experiments assuming first-order kinetics and Langmuir adsorption. There is agreement between theory and experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
