Novel arsenite [As(III)] oxidase structural genes (aoxAB) were cloned from Hydrogenobaculum bacteria isolated from an acidic geothermal spring. Reverse transcriptase PCR demonstrated expression throughout the outflow channel, and the aoxB cDNA clones exhibited distribution patterns relative to the physicochemical gradients in the spring. Microelectrode analyses provided evidence of quantitative As(III) transformation within the microbial mat.
从酸性地热泉中分离出的嗜氢菌属细菌中克隆出了新型亚砷酸盐[As(III)]氧化酶结构基因(aoxAB)。逆转录聚合酶链反应表明该基因在整个流出通道中均有表达,并且aoxB cDNA克隆呈现出与泉水中物理化学梯度相关的分布模式。微电极分析提供了微生物垫内As(III)定量转化的证据。
