Heavy metal/metalloid contaminated soil Raw sequence reads. soil metagenome

Mining of metalloids such as antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) has introduced serious soil contamination in China.Development of bioremediation as an effective approach to mitigate metal(loid) contamination in soil requires a better understanding of innate microbial communities and identification of microbes responsible for detoxification/stabilization activity.we selected two sites in Southwest China with different levels of antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) co-contamination and final result shows that Potential dynamic Sb and As cycling may exist in contaminated sites, suggesting the potential to remediate sites co-contaminated with Sb and As
