Popis: The microorganisms Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Candida humicola, and Gliocladium roseum growing aerobically, methylate a range of arsenic compounds to produce R′R″As(CH3) (R′  R″  CH3; R′  n-C4H9, R″  CH3). When l -methionine-methyl-d3 is added to the cultures the CD3 label is incorporated, intact, in the evolved arsine to a considerable extent, indicating that S-adenosylmethionine or some related sulphonium compound is involved in the biological process.
