The bacterium was Gram variable, oval or coccoid, and mesophilic. The genome of H. campisalis ASL-17 has 3.8 Mbp, with 3,910 coding sequences, 76 RNAs, and 41.3% G + C content.
RESUMO
Arsenic contamination of ground water has become a serious problem all over the world. Large number of people from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal of India are suffering due to consumption of arsenic contaminated drinking water. Study was carried out on 30 individuals residing in Ballia District, UP where the maximum concentration of arsenic was observed around 0.37 ppm in drinking water. Blood samples were collected from them to find out the problem related with arsenic. Cytogenetic study of the blood samples indicates that out of 30, two persons developed Klinefelter syndrome.
