Microbial transformations of arsenic: perspectives for biological removal of arsenic from water / L. Cavalca, A. Corsini, P. Zaccheo, V. Andreoni, G. Muyzer. - In: FUTURE MICROBIOLOGY. - ISSN 1746-0913. - 8:6(2013 Mar 15), pp. 753-768.
Abstract:
Arsenic is present in many environments and is released by various natural
processes and anthropogenic actions. Although arsenic is recognized to cause
a wide range of adverse health effects in humans, diverse bacteria can metabolize
it by detoxification and energy conservation reactions. This review highlights the
current understanding of the ecology, biochemistry and genomics of these
bacteria, and their potential application in the treatment of arsenic-polluted water.
