Microorganisms play a key role in the redox transformation of arsenic (As) in aquifers. In this study, the.impact of indigenous bacteria, especially the prevailing nitrate respirers, on arsenite (As(III)) oxidation.was explored during groundwater filtration using granular TiO2 and subsequent spent TiO2 anaerobic.landfill. X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy analysis showed As(III) oxidation (46% in 10.days) in the presence of nitrate in the simulated anaerobic landfills. Meanwhile, iron (Fe) species on the.spent TiO2 were dominated by amorphous ferric arsenate, ferrihydrite and goethite. The Fe phase.showed no change during the anaerobic landfill incubation. Batch incubation experiments implied that.the indigenous bacteria completely oxidized As(III) to arsenate (As(V)) in 10 days using nitrate as the.terminal electron acceptor under anaerobic conditions. The bacterial community analysis indicated that.various kinds of microbial species exist in groundwater matrix. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that.Proteobacteria was the dominant phylum, with Hydrogenophaga (34%), Limnohabitans (16%), and Simplicispira (7%) as the major bacterial genera. The nitrate respirers especially from the Hydrogenophaga.genus anaerobically oxidized As(III) using nitrate as an electron acceptor instead of oxygen. Our study.implied that microbes can facilitate the groundwater As oxidation using nitrate on the adsorptive media.
