Adaptation in Toxic Environments: Arsenic Genomic Islands in the Bacterial Genus Thiomonas
Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a highly toxic environment for most living organisms due to the presence of many lethal elements including arsenic (As). Thiomonas (Tm.) bacteria are found ubiquitously in AMD and can withstand these extreme conditions, in part because they are able to oxidize arsenite. I...
