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.
