The reactivity and toxicity of arsenic compounds depend on the their oxidative states. Exposure to arsenic causes many human health effects, including cardiovascular, hepatic and renal disease, in addition to cancer in kidney, liver, lung, urinary bladder and skin. The cytotoxic effects of arsenite on normal hepatocyte, which most of its biotranfomation takes place. (omitted)

Several arsenic compound-resistant bacteria were isolated from Jung-Rang stream. The isolates, D-3, D-12, and D-14 were characterized phenotypically and genetically, and identified as Serratia liquefaciens, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, respectively. A plasmid of 67kb was found in Klebsiella oxytoca D-12 and designated as pMH12. Transfer of this plasmid from D-12 to E. coli HB101 was occurred, and the resulting transconjugant strains expressed the same level of heavy metal resistance as the donor strain. The physical presence of this plasmid in transconjugant was detected with agarose gel electrophoresis. Arsenite-sensitive derivatives of isolate D-12 were obtained with Mitomycin C treatment which cured pMH12. Antibiotics and heavy metal resistances were also examined to be used as a proper marker for the isolates in gene cloning. Isolate D-12 has resistance to several heavy metal ions such as $Cd^{2+}$ , $Zn^{2+}$ and $Hg^{ 2+}$ Also, all the other arsenite resistant isolates showed resistance to several heavy metal ions and antibiotics.

The microbial community structure in Thailand soils contaminated with low and high levels of arsenic was determined by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Band pattern analysis indicated that the bacterial community was not significantly different in the two soils. Phylogenetic analysis obtained by excising and sequencing six bands indicated that the soils were dominated by Arthrobacter koreensis and $\beta$-Proteobacteria. Two hundred and sixty-two bacterial isolates were obtained from arsenic-contaminated soils. The majority of the As-resistant isolates were Gramnegative bacteria. MIC studies indicated that all of the tested bacteria had greater resistance to arsenate than arsenite. Some strains were capable of growing in medium containing up to 1,500 mg/l arsenite and arsenate. Correlations analysis of resistance patterns of arsenite resistance indicated that the isolated bacteria could be categorized into 13 groups, with a maximum similarity value of 100%. All strains were also evaluated for resistance to eight antibiotics. The antibiotic resistance patterns divided the strains into 100 unique groups, indicating that the strains were very diverse. Isolates from each antibiotic resistance group were characterized in more detail by using the repetitive extragenic palindromic-PCR (rep-PCR) DNA fingerprinting technique with ERIC primers. The PCR products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The genetic relatedness of 100 bacterial fingerprints, determined by using the Pearson product-moment similarity coefficient, showed that the isolates could be divided into four clusters, with similarity values ranging from 5-99%. Although many isolates were genetically diverse, others were clonal in nature. Additionally, the arsenic-resistant isolates were examined for the presence of arsenic resistance (ars) genes by using PCR, and 30% of the isolates were found to carry an arsenate reductase encoded by the arsC gene.

토양과 지하수의 비소 오염은 최근 심각한 환경문제들 중 하나로 대두되고 있으며, 이러한 비소 오염은 다양한 자연적 또는 인위적 원인들로 인하여 발생할 수 있다. 지중에서 비소의 거동은 철, 망간, 알루미늄 등과 같은 여러 종류의 산화물 또는 수산화물들과 점토광물에 의하여 영향을 받고, 특히 이중에서 철 (산)수산화물이 가장 효과적으로 비소를 제어하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 철 산화물의 일종인 자철석의 비소 흡착 특성을 연구하였다. 자철석이 비소의 화학종(5가와 3가 비소)에 따라서 어떠한 흡착 특성을 나타내는가 알아보기 위하여 비소 흡착에 주요하게 영향을 줄 수 있는 자철석의 물리화학적 특성들을 측정하고, 평형론적 실험과 반응속도론적 실험을 병행하여 수행하였다. 비소 흡착제로 사용하기 위하여 실험실에서 합성한 자철석의 영전하점(point of zero charge, PZC)과 비표면적은 각각 6.56과 $16.6\;g/m^2$로 다른 철 (산)수산화물들에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 간들을 나타냈다. 두 비소 화학종과 자철석의 평형실험 결과, 3가 비소가 5가 비소보다 더 많이 흡착되는 것으로 조사되어, 3가 비소가 흡착제로 사용된 자철석과 더 높은 친화력을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 3가 비소는 pH 7에서, 5가 비소는 pH 2에서 흡착량이 가장 높았으며, 5가 비소의 경우 pH가 증가함에 따라 자철석의 표면과 전기적 반발력으로 인해 그 흡착량이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 pH에 따른 자철석의 표면전하의 변화와 비소의 화학적 형태 등이 비소를 제어하는데 있어서 중요한 인자로 고려되어야 한다는 것을 지시한다. 시간에 따른 흡착 반응연구에서는 5가 비소가 3가 비소보다 더 빠르게 흡착됨을 알 수 있었으나, 비소의 화학적 존재형태에 관계없이 모두 4시간 이내에 평형 흡착에 도달하였다. 또한, 반응속도 실험결과를 지금까지 제안된 다양한 반응속도 모델들과 비교하였을 때, power function과 elovich 모델이 본 연구에서 사용된 자철석과 비소의 흡착을 가장 잘 모사하는 것으로 나타났다.

Ultrastructural and spectrophotometric studies on mitochondrial swelling and contraction were carried out. All mitochondria just after isolated from rat liver showed condensed conformation. When mitochondria were incubated in 0.25 M sucrose only, they were moderately swollen and the absorbance at 520 nm was slightly decreased. Adding ATP to sucrose caused the absorbance to increase and the mitochondria to contract partially. KCl solution of 0.3 M induced marked decrease of absorbance and swelling of mitochondria. When ATP was added to KCl, increase of the absorbance and no contraction of the mitochondria excluding increased electron density of mitochondrial intermembranes were observed. Markedly decreased absorbance and somewhat largely swelled mitochondria in sodium arsenite solution of 0.4 or 1.0 mM were observed. When ATP was added to sodium arsenite, the absorbance increased slightly but mitochondria were more contracted than those in KCl-treated group. Above results indicate that the absorbance may not be correlated to morphological observations in the mitochondrial swelling and contraction.
