Abstract excerpt
The potential biogeochemical redox activity of arsenic was investigated by examining bacterial arsenic (As) redox genes such as aox, ars, and arr in arsenic-contaminated abandoned mine area and adjacent coastal sediments. Consistent with aerobic sediment and water samples from the mine through coastal areas, bacterial genes involing arsenic(V) (arsenate, AsO(4)(3-)) reduction such as arsC and arrA were identified...
