Abstract
Both the gut microbiome and their host participate in arsenic (As) biotransformation, while their exact roles and mechanisms in vivo remain unclear and unquantified. In this study, as3mt-/- zebrafish were treated with tetracycline (TET, 100 mg/L) and arsenite (iAsIII) exposure for 30 days and treated with probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG, 1 × 108 cfu/g) and iAsIII exposure for 15 days, respectively. Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that the contribution rates of the intestinal microbiome to the total arsenic (tAs) and inorganic As (iAs) metabolism approached 44.0 and 18.4%, respectively. Compared with wild-type, in as3mt-/- zebrafish, microbial richness and structure were more significantly correlated with tAs and iAs, and more differential microbes and microbial metabolic pathways significantly correlated with arsenic metabolites (P < 0.05). LGG supplement influenced the microbial communities, significantly up-regulated the expressions of genes related to As biotransformation (gss and gst) in the liver, down-regulated the expressions of oxidative stress genes (sod1, sod2, and cat) in the intestine, and increased arsenobetaine concentration (P < 0.05). Therefore, gut microbiome promotes As transformation and relieves As accumulation, playing more active roles under iAs stress when the host lacks key arsenic detoxification enzymes. LGG can promote As biotransformation and relieve oxidative stress under As exposure.

Insight into the genome of an arsenic loving and plant growth-promoting strain of Micrococcus luteus isolated from arsenic contaminated groundwater.

Abstract
Contamination of arsenic in drinking water and foods is a threat for human beings. To achieve the goal for the reduction of arsenic availability, besides conventional technologies, arsenic bioremediation by using some potent bacteria is one of the hot topics for researchers. In this context, bacterium, AKS4c was isolated from arsenic contaminated water of Purbasthali, West Bengal, India, and through draft genome sequence; it was identified as a strain of Micrococcus luteus that comprised of 2.4 Mb genome with 73.1% GC content and 2256 protein coding genes. As the accessory genome, about 22 genomic islands (GIs) associated with many metal-resistant genes were identified. This strain was capable to tolerate more than 46,800 mg/L arsenate and 390 mg/L arsenite salts as well as found to be tolerable to multi-metals such as Fe, Pb, Mo, Mn, and Zn up to a certain limit of concentrations. Strain AKS4c was able to oxidize arsenite to less toxic arsenate, and its arsenic adsorption property was qualitatively confirmed through X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Quantitative estimation of plant growth-promoting attributes like Indole acetic acid (IAA), Gibberellic acid (GA), and proline production and enhancement of rice seedling growth in laboratory condition leads to its future applicability in arsenic bioremediation as a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).
