Abstract

Heterotrophic arsenite oxidation by Hydrogenophaga sp. str. NT-14 is coupled to the reduction of oxygen and appears to yield energy for growth. Purification and partial characterization of the arsenite oxidase revealed that it (1). contains two heterologous subunits, AroA (86 kDa) and AroB (16 kDa), (2). has a native molecular mass of 306 kDa suggesting an alpha(3)beta(3) configuration, and (3). contains molybdenum and iron as cofactors. Although the Hydrogenophaga sp. str. NT-14 arsenite oxidase shares similarities to the arsenite oxidases purified from NT-26 and Alcaligenes faecalis, it differs with respect to activity and overall conformation. A c-551-type cytochrome was purified from Hydrogenophaga sp. str. NT-14 and appears to be the physiological electron acceptor for the arsenite oxidase. The cytochrome can also accept electrons from the purified NT-26 arsenite oxidase. A hypothetical electron transport chain for heterotrophic arsenite oxidation is proposed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
