Summary:The effects of arsenic in the forms of arsenite and arsenate on bacterial growth and plasma membranes' ATPase activity 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 to an increase in bacterial ATPase activity and the degree of ATPase mobilization.
