Physiological and genomic insights into the lifestyle of arsenite-oxidizing Herminiimonas arsenitoxidans
Abstract Arsenic, a representative toxic metalloid, is responsible for serious global health problems. Most organisms possess arsenic resistance strategies to mitigate this toxicity. Here, we reported a microorganism, strain AS8, from heavy metal/metalloid-contaminated soil that is able to oxidize a...
