Isolation and Identification of Arsenic-Transforming Bacteria from Arsenic Contaminated Sites in Bulgaria

Isolation and characterization of arsenic resistant bacteria from tannery wastes and agricultural soils in Thailand

“…(Brierley and Brierley, 2001;D'Imperio et al, 2007) and heterotrophs; Agrobacterium sp., Alcaligenes sp., Burkholderia sp., Thiomonas sp., Acinetobacter sp., Pseudomonas sp. (Santini and Vanden Hoven, 2004;Krumova et al, 2008;Quéméneur et al, 2008;Cai et al, 2009). Indeed, this trend of resistance without a redox based metabolism of the arsenite as a mechanism is relatively common.…”

Characterization of Arsenic-Transforming Bacteria from Arsenic Contaminated Sites in Bulgaria

“…Previously, only by the two strains -K5 and 81D3 it was confi rmed the possibility to oxidize As [III] to As [V] by the silver nitrate test (11,22). On this base, it comes to conclusion that in the genome of the isolates: P. stutzeri (M1,K1,81D3), P. putida (K6), P. pseudoalcaligenes (K3) and Ps.…”

“…It was determined that by the strain M2 the As [V]-reduction is less by comparison with the oxidation (11). The intensity of this oxidation was reported on the 5 th day from the growth of this strain.…”

“…al. (11). As the positive control by the genetical screening was used Herminiimonas arsenicoxydans -from "Génétique moléculaire, génomique et microbiologie" laboratory , ULP, Strasbourg, France.…”

Isolation of arsenite-oxidizing bacteria from industrial effluents and their potential use in wastewater treatment

“…The silver nitrate test is based on a qualitative reaction between AgNO 3 and arsenite or arsenate ions. The interaction with arsenite [As(III)] generates bright yellow and with arsenate [As(V)] brownish precipitates (Krumova et al 2008) (Fig. 1).…”
