 INTRODUCTION

This article reviews the development of innovative biological processes based on the immobilization of arsenic through microbial transformation. It describes the biogeochemical cycle of this metalloid, emphasizing the role played by microorganisms in its speciation. It presents the properties of arsenic that are responsible for its presence in the aquatic environment and its toxicity. It then looks at current research into alternative bioprocesses to the chemical methods currently used to treat arsenic-contaminated water.
