[Effect of arsenic on bacterial growth and plasma membrane atpase activity]. / Osobennosti vliianiia mysh'iaka na rost bakterii i ATFaznuiu aktivnost' plasmaticheskikh membran.

The effects of arsenic in the forms of arsenite and arsenate on bacterial growth and plasma membranes ATPase activity of was studied. Correlation of The rate of ATP hydrolysis was found to be correlated with bacterial resistance to toxic arsenic ions. Detoxification of arsenate by resistant cultures of bacteria was suggested to be related with an increase in bacterial ATPase activity and the degree of ATPase mobilization.
