“…This study found that more than 80% of the As(III) oxidation genes were increased by the addition of 100 mg kg –1 CuO NPs, and aoxA , aoxB , aoxC , aoxS , and aoxR genes carried by bacteria could promote the biotransformation of As(III) in the environment . In addition, arsR , arsB , and arsC genes were carried by strain 3AB3 and were found to have oxidation ability and promote the increase in As(V) . Therefore, in this study, low-concentration CuO NP treatment increased the abundance of most arsR and arsC genes and reduced the migration of As to a certain extent.…”
