Biomolecular evidence for correlated production and consumption of chloromethane in the Arabidopsis thaliana phyllosphere

We explore the topic of the interrelationships of sources and sinks of chloromethane with the model system of the A. thaliana phyllosphere, and use HOL1 and cmuA as biomolecular markers of chloromethane emission and consumption, respectively, to investigate whether chloromethane-degrading bacteria may play a role as filters of plant emissions of chloromethane to the atmosphere
