Abstract |
Two arsenic-resistant purple non-sulphur bacteria (PNSB), Q3B and Q3C, were isolated (from industrial contaminated site and paddy fields) and identified by SSU rRNA gene sequencing as Rhodospirillum and Rhodospirillaceae species, respectively. Maximum arsenic reduction by these PNSB was observed in anaerobic conditions. Rhodospirillum sp. Q3B showed 74.92% (v/v) arsenic reduction while Rhodospirillaceae sp. Q3C reduced arsenic up to 76.67% (v/v) in anaerobic conditions. Rhodospirillaceae sp. Q3C was found to contain highest carotenoid content up to 5.6mg·g−1. Under anaerobic conditions, the isolates were able to respire arsenic in the presence of lactate, citrate, and oxalate. Rhodospirillum sp. Q3B and Rhodospirillaceae sp. Q3C were also found to produce hydrogen gas. Such diverse bacteria can be useful tools for bioremediation purposes. These bacteria can be further exploited and optimized to treat wastewater containing arsenic along with bio-hydrogen production.
