A reduction-secretion system contributes to roxarsone (V) degradation and efflux in Brevundimonas sp. M20 by Xuehui Zong, Xuyang Wang, Minghui Yu, Jiahui Wang, Congcong Li, Bing Wang, Yongan Wang

“…Abstract Roxarsone (V) (Rox(V)) is an organoarsenical compound that poses significant risks to aquatic ecosystems and various diseases. Reducing trivalent 3-amino-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid (HAPA(III)) offers a competitive advantage; however, it leads to localized arsenic contamination, which can disrupt the soil microbiome and impede plant growth. …”
