Abstract

Arsenic (As) resistance is a primordial activity in microbes since millions of years, although, only in recent decades, the major scientific elucidations are made. Molecular mechanisms which are involved in As-resistance and tolerance are attributed to three domains- genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. From the deep underground aquifers, As is released due to microbial activities to the surface soil where other microbial communities tackle this contamination by either cellular sequestrations or by safe transportation and passage extracellularly via transporter proteins. This whole scenario involves several gene operons, up/down regulated gene clusters and protein families. Genes involved in the redox changes of As intracellularly while co-transports other elemental ions in the course of metabolism and tolerance will be discussed here. Transcriptomics studies can specifically and accurately correlate with the findings of genomics data of As resistance in microbes. Further and more recent proteomics studies depict the relation of these microbial participations with their surrounding plant systems. Associations with plants can influence the microbial community profiling along with their ability to tolerate As effectively. This chapter will discuss briefly all the molecular aspects of As toxicity in microbes in the soil-plant-water triphasic environment with their involved machineries for remediation capacity.
