Arsenic, a highly cytotoxic and cancerogenic metalloid, is brought into the biosphere through
geochemical sources and anthropogenic activities. A global biogeochemical arsenic …

Arsenic compounds were extracted with chloroform/methanol/water from tissues of marine
animals (four carnivores, five herbivores, five plankton feeders). The extracts were purified …

Arsenobetaine (AsB) is a primary arsenic (As) compound found in marine organisms.
However, in mammals, the metabolic mechanism of AsB remains indistinct. Therefore, in this …

Two growth media containing arsenobetaine [(CH 3) 3 As+ CH 2 COO-] were mixed with
coastal marine sediments, the latter providing a source of microorganisms. The mixtures …

The arsenobetaine‐decomposing ability of microorganisms occurring in sinking particles,
which play a main role in the vertical transport of organic substances produced in the photic …

Arsenic is a ubiquitous heavy metal in the marine environment and has a complex
biogeochemistry that has significant implications for its toxicity to marine organisms and their …

A decrease in the water content of the soil imposes a considerable stress on the voil-living
bacterium Bacillus subtilis: water exits from the cells, resulting in decreased turgor and …

Arsenic is potentially a highly toxic element in marine ecosystems, and in inorganic form
represents a threat to consumers of marine products, including man. Chemical forms of …

Arsenobetaine is one of the major organoarsenic compounds found in aquatic organisms,
including seafood and fish meant for human consumption. It has been widely studied over …

l-Proline is a widely used compatible solute and is employed by Bacillus subtilis, through
both synthesis and uptake, as an osmostress protectant. Here, we assessed the stress …
