Oxidation of Arsenite by a Soil Isolate of Alcaligenes
Abstract
A strain of Alcaligenes , isolated from soil and grown in nutrient broth in the presence of arsenite, possessed the ability to oxidize arsenite to arsenate. Washed cell suspensions consumed one‐half mol of oxygen/mol of arsenite and produced arsenate. The optimum pH for arsenite oxidation was 7.0. The K m for arsenite was 1.5 × 10 ‐4 M and V max was 6.7 μl of oxygen/min. The arsenite‐oxidizing enzyme system was induced by growth in arsenite. Response of the arsenite‐oxidizing enzyme system to respiratory inhibitors suggested that electrons resulting from arsenite oxidation by an oxido‐reductase with a bound flavin are transferred via cytochrome c and cytochrome oxidase to oxygen. The presence of the cytochromes in crude extract was confirmed by spectral measurements.

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.
