Microbes and Arsenic Contamination of Drinking Water
Chad Saltikov, Dept. of Microbiology and Environmental Toxicology
By converting the form chemical form of arsenic in the ground, natually occuring microbes have been shown to exacerbate ground water contamination by arsenic. Professor Chad Saltikov investigates the molecular biology of these microbial processes. This data promises to help divise strategies that be used to ameleorate contamination of drinking water.
