Environ Sci Technol . 2017 Sep; 51(19):11115-11125. PMID: 28936873
Organoarsenicals such as the methylarsenical methylarsenate (MAs(V)) and aromatic arsenicals including roxarsone (4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzenearsenate or Rox(V)) have been extensively used as an herbicide and growth enhancers in animal husbandry, respectively. They...

To elucidate the environmental organoarsenical biocycle, we isolated a soil organism, Burkholderia sp. MR1, which reduces relatively nontoxic pentavalent methylarsenate to the more toxic trivalent methylarsenite, with the goal of...
