Article Synopsis
- Arsenic contamination is a significant public health issue globally, and bacteria like Achromobacter aegrifaciens can help mitigate this by converting toxic arsenite (AsIII) into less harmful arsenate (AsV).
- Researchers analyzed two A. aegrifaciens strains from arsenic-laden water and soil in Bangladesh using whole genome sequencing and found that both strains exhibit arsenic oxidation capabilities and share similar gene clusters for arsenic detoxification and heavy metal resistance.
- The genomic analyses revealed that these strains, while distinct from other strains globally, show close evolutionary relationships with each other, indicating their potential in bioremediation efforts in arsenic-contaminated areas.
