a

One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to determine significant (p < 0.001) metabolic changes. All differentially expressed metabolites involved in bioremediation pathway of As(III, V) are represented in bold. Metabolites that are specific to As(V) mitigation are marked with bold and italics.

b

All values of the metabolites were statistically significant with p value 0.001, respectively.

c

Metabolite peak used for evaluating the quantitative difference, as represented here by fold changes.
