Adsorption studies of Arsenic on the cell wall.

S.No.	Sample Treatment (for 60 min.)	Amount of Arsenic adsorbed (per gram fresh weight of cell wall)
1	0.1 mM As (V)	0.216 ± 0.06 mg
2	1 mM As (V)	1.694 ± 0.43 mg
3	2 mM As (V)	2.913 ± 0.23 mg
4	50 mM As (V)	3.873 ± 0.16 mg
5	1 M As (V)	4.221 ± 0.13 mg

One gram of cell wall was incubated in 100 ml of arsenic solution for 60 min. and cell wall material was washed with 1X PBS three times. Adsorption analysis was done in triplicates independently.
