The arsenic munching microbe NT-26 could help in the fight to clean up arsenic-contaminated mining waste and drinking water. Arsenic poses an environmental problem in countries such as Australia, USA and Canada owing primarily to mining activities. The problem in countries such as Bangladesh and West Bengal are even more serious as these people are dying of arsenic-related diseases as they rely on water containing arsenic as their primary source of drinking water. The outcomes of this research should provide the necessary information for removing arsenic from all types of waters.

这种咀嚼砷的微生物NT-26可能有助于清理受砷污染的采矿废物和饮用水。在澳大利亚、美国和加拿大等国，主要由于采矿活动，砷造成了环境问题。孟加拉国和西孟加拉邦等国的问题更加严重，因为这些人依赖含砷水作为主要饮用水来源，死于与砷有关的疾病。这项研究的结果应该为从所有类型的水中去除砷提供必要的信息。
