Abstract

Arsenic speciation determines its mobility and toxicity. Speciation changes are largely driven by biological actions, such as microbes and plants. This paper is a summary based on our studies using cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 as a model organism for the elucidation of molecular mechanisms of arsenic biotransformation. While it serves as a mini-review, we will also discuss new unpublished results, including the molecular mechanism of arsenosugar biosynthesis.
