Metabolism of Heterotrophic Arsenite Oxidizing Bacteria
Description
Heterotrophic arsenite oxdizers use different organic carbon sources for their growth and metabolism. They are able to oxidize the arsenite aerobically or anaerobically. So, if terminal electron acceptor is oxygen then they are aerobic type. They can be anaerobic if terminal electron acceptor is Nitrate. Researchers suggests that these bacteria cannot derive major energy for growth from this process. It is mainly considered as their detoxification process.
