A pot experiment was carried out in the green house of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI), Dhaka to study the response of jute (Corchorus capsularies and Corchorus olitorius) to the accumulation of As from soil to plants when various rates of As were applied. In the experiment, four treatments of arsenic (control, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg) were applied. The salt sodium meta-arsenite (NaAsO2) was used as a source of As. Three jute varieties of CVL-1, 0-9897 and OM-1 were used. CVL-1 variety is As sensitive whereas the 0-9897 and OM-1 varieties appeared to be As tolerant and OM-1 takes up the highest amount of As. Arsenic will be ingested into the body exceeding the maximum allowable daily limit (0.22mg/kg per day) through the consumption of 100g of jute leaves of these three varieties per day. Accumulation of As at 10 and 40 mg/kg treatment, the maximum was observed at 52 days harvest for CVL-1 while for the other two treatments, the maximum was observed at 42 days of growth. In the case of 0-9897 and OM-1 varieties, overall the maximum accumulation of As was observed at 42 days of growth at 40 mg/kg treatment.

Mobar, Sanjoli | Bhatnagar, Pradeep
The soil of many places of eastern India contains high amount of arsenic, due to several geogenic activities in this area. In the specific regions of the country where there is no such type of Geogenic activities, the soil is found to be almost free of arsenic. In such places where there are industries, the soil is being contaminated with the arsenic due to anthropogenic activities. One of such site which was selected for the study was in close vicinity to the textile industries in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India discharging their effluents having 423 µg/g arsenic. While the soil sample collected from the far eastern part of Tezpur Assam, India, contaminated by Geogenic sources contained 443µg/g arsenic. Four arsenite resistant bacterial strains were isolated from each of the samples. Strains SE-3 and TB-1 isolated from Jaipur and Tezpur, respectively showed highest minimum inhibitory concentration of 46.5mM and 38.7mM sodium arsenite. Based on 16S rDNA sequencing and nucleotide homology and Phylogenetics analysis strain, SE-3 was identified as Pseudomonas sp. SE-3 (accession no. KP730605) and TB-1 as Bacterium TB-1 (accession no KP866680). Complete oxidation of arsenite to less toxic form arsenate was observed in Pseudomonas sp. SE-3, while 64.6% by Bacterium TB-1. The arsenite oxidation was supported on the molecular level by confirming the presence of aox gene by PCR amplification. The enzyme activity of arsenite oxidase was also established. Arsenic hyper tolerant bacteria isolated from these soils having arsenite oxidizing ability show a promising way for the bioremediation of arsenic in contaminated soil.
