Heterotrophic arsenite oxidation by Hydrogenophaga sp. str. NT-14 is coupled to the reduction of oxygen and appears to yield energy for growth. Purification and partial characterization of the arsenite oxidase revealed that it (1). contains two heterologous subunits, AroA (86 kDa) and AroB (16 kDa), (2). has a native molecular mass of 306 kDa suggesting an alpha(3)beta(3) configuration, and (3)...
