This Geotimes article focuses on arsenic and discusses the problem of ground water laden with arsenic compounds, and how remediation of these waters can be done using various methods including microbes. The article explores one instance where microbial communities are fed different resources to indirectly bioremediate arsenic. One microbe that is mentioned as a potential candidate is Geobater. The web site also contains links to the Geotimes' home page, the American Geological Institute (AGI) home, and other useful AGI links.
