Abstract excerpt
Citrobacter sp. strain TSA-1 is an enteric bacterium isolated from the hindgut of the termite. Strain TSA-1 displays anaerobic growth with selenite, fumarate, tetrathionate, nitrate, or arsenate serving as electron acceptors, and it also grows aerobically. In regards to arsenate, genome sequencing revealed that strain TSA-1 lacks a homolog for respiratory arsenate reductase, arrAB, and we were unable to obtain...
