Abstract
A new primer set was developed to specifically amplify aoxB genes encoding the As(III) oxidase catalytic subunit from taxonomically diverse aerobic As(III)-oxidizing bacteria. The results highlighted the conservation of essential amino acids and structural motifs and the usefulness of the aoxB gene as a functional marker of aerobic As(III) oxidizers.
