Abstract excerpt
A PCR approach was developed to assess the occurrence and diversity of arsenite transporters in arsenic-resistant bacteria. For this purpose, three sets of degenerate primers were designed for the specific amplification of approximately 750bp fragments from arsB and two subsets of ACR3 (designated ACR3(1) and ACR3(2)) arsenite carrier gene families. These primers were used to screen a collection of 41...
