Bacteria and genes involved in arsenic speciation in sediment impacted by long-term gold mining.

Bacteria and genes involved in arsenic speciation in sediment impacted by long-term gold mining.

The bacterial community and genes involved in geobiocycling of arsenic (As) from sediment impacted by long-term gold mining were characterized through culture-based analysis of As-transforming bacteria and metagenomic studies of the arsC, arrA, and aioA genes. Sediment was collected from the histori...
