Estudio de los genes implicados en el metabolismo del arsénico en cultivos y en sistemas naturales

Abstract

[EN] Presence of arsenic in drinking and irrigation waters is a serious concern of great economic, social, and environmental importance in numerous locations across South America (mainly in the Northern Chile and Argentina). As respiring microorganisms that reduce As(V) to As(III) are diverse and can be involved in the As mobilization from the sediment to drinking water sources. The present PhD thesis explores the links between the microbial metabolism and the biogeochemical cycling of As in saline systems of Northern Chile. On the one hand, the microbial diversity and the distribution and diversity of arsenic functional genes (i. e. , arsenate reductases arrA and arsC) were studied in saline environments with high (e. g. , Salar de Ascotán) and low (e. g. , Laguna Tebenquiche) As concentrations. On the other hand, characterization of microbial enrichments and bacterial pure cultures were carried out to link bacterial activity and the origin of arsenic minerals in the environment. [...]

[ES] La presencia de arsénico en aguas potables y de riego es un problema económico, social y ambiental de extrema importancia, especialmente en varios países de América Latina (principalmente en el Norte de Chile y de Argentina). Los microorganismos respiradores que reducen As(V) a arsenito As(III) son diversos y pueden estar implicados en la movilización del arsénico del sedimento a fuentes de agua potable. Para entender cómo contribuye este metabolismo a la biogeoquímica del arsénico la presente tesis explora, por un lado, tanto la diversidad de comunidades microbianas en ambientes naturales salinos con presencia (p. ej. el Salar de Ascotán) o ausencia (Laguna Tebenquiche) de arsénico, como la distribución y diversidad de los genes involucrados en este metabolismo (arsenato reductasa arrA y arsC) y, por el otro, el aislamiento y caracterización de cultivos puros y su implicación en la formación de minerales sulfurosos de arsénico en estos ambientes salinos.
