Abstract excerpt
Bacteria are essential in arsenic cycling. However, few studies have addressed 16S rRNA and arsenic-related functional gene diversity in long-term arsenic-contaminated tropical sediment. Here, using culture-based, metagenomic and computational approaches, we describe the diversity of bacteria, genes and enzymes involved in AsIII and AsV transformation in freshwater sediment and in anaerobic AsIII- and...
