Premier League football for free: BT to screen sport to superfast broadband subscribers
BT is set to give free access to its sports channel showing live Premier League football to a million subscribers who take its high-speed fibre optic broadband service.
The telecoms giant is expected to announce the plan on Friday when it unveils full-year figures likely to show profits up five per cent to £2.5billion for the year to March 31.
It is also set to reveal the price of BT Sport for subscribers who take the channel direct from BT rather than via rival broadcasters such as Sky. City bank Nomura reckons this will be £10 a month.
Big plans: BT is set to announce the price of BT Sport, which will show some Premiership football matches
However, BT and Sky are still in talks over whether BT Sport will be offered to Sky on a wholesale basis for Sky to sell on to its ten million-plus subscribers with a bundle of channels.
Alternatively, BT could offer the channel direct to Sky subscribers, who would then have to pay two subscriptions. It currently has 770,000 subscribers to BT Vision, which will include BT Sport when it is launched later this year.
BT is reluctant to offer the rights to Sky wholesale as it fears losing its two million customers who watch Sky TV on BT’s broadband service.
The telecoms giant is reckoned to be investing £1billion in BT Sport in the next three years, having paid £738million to show 38 live Premier League games a season for three seasons.
Sky was forced to pay £2.28 billion for the right to 154 Premier League games, 40 per cent more than before BT tried but failed to secure the biggest package of games.
Both sides are said to be talking about providing Sky’s two main sports channels to BT to offer on YouView, the TV catch-up service, on a wholesale basis.
BT currently has a wholesale agreement with Sky to offer Sky Sports 1 and 2 on BT Vision, but not Sky’s other sports channels.
BT Sport will be fronted by ex-BBC presenter Jake Humphrey.

- USD/CHF reverses the previous day’s pullback from weekly top.
- Confluence of three-week-old horizontal line, falling trend line from May 06 will test buyers amid bullish MACD.
- Sellers should look for entries below three-day-long support line.
USD/CHF prints 0.10% intraday gains while picking up bids to 0.8977, intraday high 0.8979, ahead of Friday’s European session. In doing so, the quote regains upside momentum, lost the previous day, backed by the bullish MACD.
It should, however, be noted that a convergence of crucial trend lines around 0.8990 should be considered a tough nut to crack for the USD/CHF buyers.
In a case where the pair crosses the 0.8990, a sustained break of the 0.9000 threshold becomes necessary to validate the run-up towards the mid-0.9000s.
Alternatively, pullback moves may rebound from an immediate rising support line near 0.8960, failures to do so can once again highlight the 0.8930-25 area comprising multiple levels marked since December 2020.
Overall, USD/CHF is consolidating the latest losses but the medium-term bulls have a long way to go.

No more free rides on green buses
September 11, 2022 10:49 PM
The free rides on metro buses are going to end tomorrow, the 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Sunday.
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) will start charging fares from Monday.
The stop-to-stop fare of the Green Line bus service has been fixed at Rs30 while the cost of the shuttle service from Athal to Bihara will be Rs15.
Passengers traveled for free on the Green Line bus service for more than three months.
The fare will come into force from tomorrow. However, the Blue Line passengers will still be able to travel for free.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif inaugurated the Orange Line in April and ordered the CDA to provide free bus service to people for one month.
However, the government took a few months in deciding the fare. The CDA board, which met chairman Mohammad Usman in the chair took up the issue of metro bus fare

Refashioned 80s leather jacket
Added Sep 2, 2011
I wish I had a before photo for this refashion! It was 80s and hideous with batwing sleeves and a horrible waistband thingy at the hips. I cut it apart and used my self-drafted pattern for my other leather jacket (will add to my studio soon!) to make proper fitted sleeves.
I used my home sewing machine, a heavy duty needle and heavy duty upholstery thread. The whole debacle was a right kerfuffle and nearly ended up with a sewing machine through the window….

[Q1] Host: BigKingFish, it’s a pleasure to have you here. Could you start by telling us your name and the city you represent?
BigKingFish: Hey, thanks for having me. My name is BigKingFish, and I proudly represent Gulfport, MS.
[Q2] Host: Excellent. Now, looking back at the past year, what would you say was your most memorable moment in 2022?
BigKingFish: My most memorable moment last year was when I dropped my project called VanGeauxVi$ion. It was an incredible experience, and I had a lot of fun working on that project.
[Q3] Host: That’s fantastic. Moving on to your latest track, could you share with us the meaning behind it and the inspiration behind its title?
BigKingFish: Absolutely. My latest track, titled “2:30,” holds a special meaning to me. It’s a song where I wanted to experiment with different musical elements. The title “2:30” signifies the time when I often find myself writing songs, and it reflects the creative process behind this particular track.
[Q4] Host: Exciting stuff! Now, do you have any upcoming projects that you can give us a sneak peek into?
BigKingFish: Definitely! I have a single dropping on my birthday, June 24. It’s a project I’ve been working on, and I’m really excited to share it with my fans.
[Q5] Host: That sounds like a perfect birthday gift for both you and your fans. Speaking of goals, what are some of the things you would like to accomplish in the coming year?
BigKingFish: This year, I have a couple of goals in mind. Firstly, I aim to gain more fans on platforms like Spotify, where people can enjoy my music. Additionally, I want to have more live performances and connect with my audience on a deeper level.
[Q6] Host: It’s always great to have goals and aspirations. If you could collaborate with any artist, who would be your dream collaboration?
BigKingFish: Oh, that’s a tough question. If I had the opportunity, I would love to collaborate with Lil Yachty. I admire his unique style and energy, and I think our combined creativity could lead to something incredible.
[Q7] Host: That would be an amazing collaboration indeed. Now, let’s talk about motivation. What drives you as an artist on a daily basis?
BigKingFish: At the end of the day, what drives me is the constant pursuit of becoming the best version of myself. I strive to improve my craft and push my boundaries every single day. That, in turn, motivates me to keep creating and delivering my best work.
[Q8] Host: It’s evident that your drive and determination are essential to your success. When did you realize that you wanted to pursue music professionally?
BigKingFish: I realized I wanted to pursue music professionally after I graduated college. That was a turning point for me when I fully committed myself to my passion for music and decided to make it my career.
[Q9] Host: That’s a significant decision to make, and it’s incredible to see how far you’ve come. Before we wrap up, do you have any last words or messages for your readers and fans?
BigKingFish: To anybody that’s a fan thank you for listening to my music or supporting.
Host: Thank you so much, BigKingFish, for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. We’re truly inspired by your dedication and passion for music. We’ll be eagerly anticipating your upcoming single on June 24 and looking forward to witnessing your growth as an artist.

The Knesset just passed a preliminary reading of חוק ישראל היום or the Israel Hayom Law, which puts an arbitrary minimum price on all newspapers. It is now illegal to hand out free newspapers in Israel. The reason? 45 Knesset members do not like Israel Hayom because it is very supportive of Netanyahu.
The people in Israel, myself included, are justifiably upset. I like it when I can take a newspaper for free, regardless of whether I like the newspaper or not. I do not like it when politicians tell me that if I take a newspaper for free, I am now a criminal, or party to a criminal act.
I am no fan of the Prime Minister. In fact, I am a big supporter of his biggest Likud rival, MK Moshe Feiglin, who is running against Netanyahu for Likud Chairmanship once again on January 6, and who excoriated the Knesset for passing this law. (For Hebrew speakers, video below.)
On top of that, Israel HaYom is generally very hostile to Feiglin, something I resent. But I have my own brain and I can decide which articles I like and which I don’t. If I see the paper I take one, because sometimes I just want to know the headlines, or what the other side thinks, or what the Kinneret’s level is today.
Or do a classic Israel Hayom crossword puzzle on page 62. (3 down, 7 letters: The worst person in Likud ever, and he probably smells bad, too. Answer: F-E-I-G-L-I-N. 5 across, 9 letters: The best Prime Minister in all of Jewish history, whose English is to die for. Answer: N-E-T-A-N-Y-A-H-U.
Or skip the crossword puzzle and build myself an Israel Hayom sailor hat.
The law is bad, infringes on liberty (as do all laws that expand the power of government over the lives of private citizens) and it’s making a lot of people angry, even those who do not like Israel Hayom, like me. I’m even thinking of starting a crowd funding drive to buy up all the issues of Israel Hayom for a week so they can be distributed freely just in spite of these politicians who dare tell us what we can hand out for free and what we can’t. Politicians that were elected to “fight against rising prices” and just passed a law criminalizing the handing out of free stuff.
Strangely though, I hear a lot of how this law is “anti democratic” and other such jargon, when first of all, it is completely democratic. The people elected the Knesset Members, the Knesset Members passed the law, preliminarily of course. That’s democracy, or one form of it.
Those who complain that the law is anti democratic should also complain of any price minimum, as that is all this law is – a price minimum on newspapers. There are price minima on a lot of things and few protest. There are price minima on labor, called minimum wage laws, which forbid the hiring of unskilled people whose productivity does not match the minimum wage, condemning them to a life of welfare and perpetual unemployment. Few complain about that.
There are price maxima everywhere, too. Cheese, eggs, meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, gasoline, all price controlled. All that does is create shortages, just as price minima create surpluses – surpluses of labor (unemployment) or surpluses of newspapers (unsold stock).
It’s all the same evil of people telling other people what they can trade and for how much. The “freedom of the press” only happens to be more culturally ingrained in the western psyche because of a historical accident involving the Bill of Rights. Why shouldn’t the freedom of prices be part of the first amendment as well? Just because this particular price control involving this particular newspaper is tangentially related to freedom of the press, people are up in arms about it.
Nobody is telling Israel Hayom what content to print. They are only telling it what to sell for. Is that an issue of freedom of the press? Not really. It’s an issue of freedom of pricing.
And pricing is not free. We are not allowed to trade with whoever we want however we want. Politicians must tell us with whom and for how much.
And that is the evil of The Israel Hayom Law. Not the obstruction of freedom of the press, but the obstruction of freedom of pricing, freedom of exchange, freedom of trade, freedom of economic activity.

Steel inventories may be rising in China, the world’s biggest producer of the metal, as economic growth slows and output climbs before potential power cuts, Steel Market Intelligence said.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. today cut its forecast for Chinese gross domestic product growth in 2011 to 9.4 percent from 10 percent. GDP gained 9.8 percent last year, according to government figures. The reduction underscores increasing concern among investors about the effect of Premier Wen Jiabao’s efforts to curb credit and rein in inflation in the world’s fastest-growing major economy.
“Logic would dictate that there are invisible Chinese inventories piling up ahead of cutbacks, which worries us about the direction of the global market,” Michelle Applebaum, managing partner at Chicago-based Steel Market Intelligence, said in a note yesterday. She cited rising steel production in the country, a weakening economy and possible power rationing this summer.
China may face an electricity shortfall of 30 million kilowatts during this year’s summer peak that might reduce industrial output by 3.6 percentage points, analysts including Lu Yanjin at Industrial Securities wrote in a report on May 20. The country made about 47 percent of the world’s crude steel in April, according to the World Steel Association.
National steel production rose 9.1 percent from a year earlier to 232.6 million metric tons in this year’s first four months, according to the China Economic Information Network.

text: Holy futuristic sh*t this was an amazing issue Batman. Terry finds himself undercover trying to infiltrate the Jokers to save the woman he loves, who still thinks he’s dead. This may sound a little soap opera-esque but man does it make for a great read. For the first time in this series we finally see Terry truly take on the mantel of Batman, though he does this without ever dressing up as the Bat. When we watched the cartoons Terry was a punk teen who was rash and impulsive, but he had a tonne of potential and in this series we see that potential finally come to fruition. Going undercover as Trey Malone, the son of infamous gangster Matches Malone, otherwise known as Bruce Wayne, Terry gives himself an initiation for the ages to gain access into the criminal gang . The beginnings of a new Batman family and a flashback to an epic battle between two titans leaves this to be one of the best books brought out by DC this year. With great art and style you have a real winner here, Batman Beyond will be a fantastic read for fans of the Bat and those that want something a little different.

The Human Gut Microbiome’s Influence on Arsenic Toxicity
- 101 Downloads
Purpose of Review
Arsenic exposure is a public health concern of global proportions with a high degree of interindividual variability in pathologic outcomes. Arsenic metabolism is a key factor underlying toxicity, and the primary purpose of this review is to summarize recent discoveries concerning the influence of the human gut microbiome on the metabolism, bioavailability, and toxicity of ingested arsenic. We review and discuss the current state of knowledge along with relevant methodologies for studying these phenomena.
Bacteria in the human gut can biochemically transform arsenic-containing compounds (arsenicals). Recent publications utilizing culture-based approaches combined with analytical biochemistry and molecular genetics have helped identify several arsenical transformations by bacteria that are at least possible in the human gut and are likely to mediate arsenic toxicity to the host. Other studies that directly incubate stool samples in vitro also demonstrate the gut microbiome’s potential to alter arsenic speciation and bioavailability. In vivo disruption or elimination of the microbiome has been shown to influence toxicity and body burden of arsenic through altered excretion and biotransformation of arsenicals. Currently, few clinical or epidemiological studies have investigated relationships between the gut microbiome and arsenic-related health outcomes in humans, although current evidence provides strong rationale for this research in the future.
The human gut microbiome can metabolize arsenic and influence arsenical oxidation state, methylation status, thiolation status, bioavailability, and excretion. We discuss the strength of current evidence and propose that the microbiome be considered in future epidemiologic and toxicologic studies of human arsenic exposure.
KeywordsArsenic Human gut microbiome
Arsenic is among the most widespread and dangerous environmental toxicants in the world. It is ubiquitous in the environment and primarily originates from the natural weathering of the earth’s crust. As such, it inevitably becomes associated with human food and water as well as surface soils and particulates in the air . Anthropogenic sources of contamination can also be significant, especially in areas with mining activity and industrial arsenic applications . Acute exposure to high levels of arsenic-containing compounds (arsenicals) is toxic to most cellular life forms, and chronic, low-level exposure in long-lived organisms, like humans, is also associated with disease. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified arsenic and inorganic arsenicals (see below) as group I carcinogens, finding sufficient evidence that these toxicants cause cancers of the lung, skin, and bladder . Non-cancerous pathologies have also been linked to arsenic exposure, including skin lesions, metabolic dysregulation, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, pregnancy complications, and neurological symptoms . Importantly, the development of these pathologies in arsenic-exposed populations is highly variable between individuals, even when accounting for host factors such as genetics and arsenical-specific metabolisms . Genome-wide association studies and advancements in analytical methods have led to a robust understanding of the importance of human genetic determinants of arsenical metabolism that drive chemical speciation of arsenic in mammalian cells . However, human genetic variability does not adequately explain disease penetrance among exposed populations, leaving the door open for discovering other important explanatory factors [7, 8].
A microbiome can be defined as the community of microorganisms occupying a defined ecosystem and the sum total of their physical, biochemical, and ecological activities . The human microbiome is taxonomically diverse and comprised of bacteria, viruses, fungi, micro-eukaryotes, and archaea. It is now well appreciated that interactions between the microbiome, host cells, and the abiotic environment have significant impacts on human health and disease . Here, we focus on microbiome activity of the human gastrointestinal tract or gut. From an ecological perspective, the human gut is an ecosystem and provides ecosystem functions just like a forest or ocean “biome.” Metabolism, meaning the biochemistry performed by microbial and human cells in the gut, is a critical function that can both directly and indirectly impact human health. Since all living organisms have to deal with arsenic to minimize potential toxicity, it should be of no surprise that members of the gut microbiome can metabolize arsenicals, thereby changing its toxicity in host tissues. On the other hand, if arsenic exposure kills certain members of the gut microbiome, their functions will be lost, which may indirectly influence host health.
In this review, we overview human exposures to arsenicals, relevant pathways of human arsenical metabolism and excretion, and the influence of arsenic-microbiome interactions on host physiology, arsenical metabolism, bioavailability, and toxicity. We also discuss evidence of arsenic-induced compositional and functional changes in the microbiome and potential contributions to host health associated with those changes.
Arsenic in the Human Environment
Inorganic arsenic (iAs) leeches from mineral deposits in the earth’s crust and into underground aquifers, leading to human exposure when wells are drilled or dug to meet water needs. In fact, the most common route of arsenic exposure in humans is contaminated drinking water . Arsenic input into underground aquifers can be accelerated by anthropogenic activities, such as mining, and surface water contamination is more often attributed to deposition from mining, smelting, and agricultural applications compared with natural leeching .
The rate of iAs leeching into the water table depends on arsenical redox state and geological factors, such as soil type. Unlike other toxic metal(oid)s in the environment, which may form inorganic cations in solution, dissolved iAs is found as oxy-acid compounds . Under normal conditions with circumneutral pH, pentavalent arsenate (iAsV) exists as an oxy-anion (H2AsO4−, HAsO42−), while reduced trivalent arsenite (iAsIII) is typically uncharged (H3AsO30) and more mobile in the subsurface . In oxygenated solution, iAsV is most stable, but a shift to even mildly reducing conditions can favor the formation of the more mobile iAsIII. iAsIII is also considered more toxic and bioavailable to human cells compared with iAsV. Thus, by altering the redox conditions and pH as part of normal metabolism, microorganisms both directly and indirectly influence iAs cycling in soil, subsurface, and aquatic ecosystems . Collectively, this means that environmental microbiomes profoundly impact the mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity of environmental iAs to humans [14, 15].
Soils and Agriculture
Contaminated soils and dust have also been considered as potential sources of arsenic exposure, especially among children because of common hand-to-mouth behaviors [16, 17]. Although arsenic ingestion from soils is much lower than from food and water, relative concentrations of arsenic in contaminated soils can sometimes reach concentrations several orders of magnitude higher than the safe drinking water standard . Contamination of soils is often a result of deposition from smelting, coal burning, and agricultural pesticides. Agricultural pesticides represent a significant source of surface soil contamination. During the late-nineteenth and early- to mid-twentieth centuries, inorganic arsenates of copper, calcium, and lead were widely used as agricultural pesticides throughout the USA and other countries . Despite the documented health hazards and environmental persistence of these inorganic metal(oid)s, lead arsenate (Pb5OH(AsO4)3) became the most prominent agricultural pesticide of the time and was not officially prohibited in the USA until 1988 . This widespread historical use still contributes to high levels of both lead and arsenic in the soils of current and former agricultural lands , and elevated levels continue to be reported in a variety of food products .
Despite the phasing out of most inorganic arsenicals from use, organic arsenical compounds (oAs) are still widely used in agriculture and landscape management. Monosodium monomethyl arsenate (MSMA) is a commercially available arsenical herbicide used for residential lawn care and commercial weed control in golf courses, sod farms, and highway rights-of-way . Synthetic phenyl-arsenic compounds, including Roxarsone and Nitarsone, are used in poultry farming as growth-promoting feed additives and to deter certain veterinary pathogens . While these pentavalent oAs are generally considered non-toxic and safe at limited exposure levels, they are subject to degradation by native microbial communities, contributing to environmental arsenic pools and potential risks to public and environmental health [24, 25, 26, 27]. The US FDA recently withdrew approval for the use of organo-arsenical drugs as growth-promoting agents in poultry feeds, but they remain commonly used outside North America and the European Union .
Exposure Via Food
Detectible arsenic in foods raises concerns about the potential contribution of dietary exposures. Arsenic can accumulate in cereal grains, vegetables, and fruit crops from contaminated irrigation water or surface soil environments . Rice stands out among cereal grains as one of the world’s most widely consumed staple foods. Rice and rice-based food products often contain higher fractions of pentavalent arsenicals (iAsV; monomethylarsonic acid (MMAV); and dimethylarsinic acid (DMAV)), compared to other grains and vegetables . These pentavalent methylated arsenicals are likely produced by microbial communities associated with the plant roots prior to uptake . Arsenic in seafood occurs predominantly as more complex forms of oAs compounds, including arsenobetaine and arsenocholine in finfish and a wide variety of arsenic-containing lipid and sugar compounds in mussels and shellfish [32, 33, 34]. As with all routes of arsenic exposures, toxicity depends on the chemical properties of the arsenical and so depending on the sources of contamination and environmental conditions, dietary sources may have complex and diverse arsenic speciation profiles, resulting in large differences in toxicity and risk of disease. Arsenical speciation along with variations in food matrices and nutritional state of the host likely lead to variation in bioavailability and risk of disease . More research is necessary on food as a significant route for arsenic exposure.
A number of different processes contribute to atmospheric arsenic levels, including volcanic activity, mining and industrial processes, combustion of fossil fuels, use of agricultural pesticides, and volatilization of arsine compounds. Compared with drinking water exposure, inhalation is considered a minor source of arsenic exposure for the general population ; however, those living or working in proximity to emission sources may be at substantially higher risk of adverse exposure outcomes . The largest sources of atmospheric arsenic emission are metal smelting, coal combustion, and herbicides, with arsenic laden particulate matter (PM) being the major medium of atmospheric transport . Particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 10 μm (PM10) can be inhaled, while only particles smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) penetrate into the lungs where they can be deposited onto the pulmonary epithelium . Arsenic in coal or mineral ores evaporates during combustion and high-heat processing, adsorbing onto finer particles of fly ash, and resulting in atmospheric emissions of arsenic-containing PM10 and PM2.5 . Atmospheric arsenic from coal combustion has been cited as a major factor contributing to lung cancers in industrial regions of India and China .
Tobacco smoke is another significant source of inhaled arsenic, as arsenic-based pesticides in the soil can be taken up by tobacco plants. The risk of disease from arsenic contaminated tobacco is difficult to determine because smoking behavior carries an independent carcinogenic risk and has a synergistic effect with arsenic in food and water . Arsenic has also been detected in the synthetic fluids of electronic cigarettes and the vapors they produce . While the reported concentrations were lower than those identified in combustible tobacco products and smoke, further evaluation and comparative risk assessment are still needed to determine whether these relatively new products pose a risk.
Arsenic in Medicine
In contrast with the health problems associated with chronic incidental exposures, arsenic compounds have also been used therapeutically throughout history. In the pre-antibiotic era, drugs like arsanilic acid (atoxyl) and arsphenamine (salvarsan) were commonly used to treat syphilis and trypanosomiasis, among other common ailments . Before the use of arsenicals as antibiotics was curtailed and modern antibiotics (e.g., penicillin) were introduced, it was noted that both laboratory and clinical syphilis strains had evolved resistance to arsenical treatments [43, 44], hinting at the potential influence of arsenic on the evolutionary dynamics of human-associated bacteria and foreshadowing contemporary struggles with antibiotic resistance in the clinic.
Currently, arsenic trioxide (ATO) is still used as an anti-cancer treatment for patients with acute promylocytic leukemia (APL). The exact molecular mechanisms of its anti-cancer activity are still being studied, but it has been suggested that arsenic biotransformations in the body are important for ATO’s clinical efficacy . There is also growing evidence that the microbiome alters patient response and clinical outcomes of chemotherapy , leading some to speculate that targeted manipulations of the microbiome could be used to improve clinical outcomes and/or reduce toxic side-effects of current chemotherapeutics . However, this concept of “pharmacomicrobiomics” has yet to be applied to therapeutic uses of ATO and recent trials exploring orally delivered ATO as a replacement for intravenous treatments  underscore the importance of determining the microbiome’s influence on arsenic metabolism in the context of human medicine.
Human Arsenic Metabolism
In humans and many of other animals, iAs entering the body in food and water is methylated as the primary means of systemic detoxification. Methylated arsenicals are more readily excreted, leading to enhanced body clearance , and efficient arsenic methylation is associated with beneficial long-term disease outcomes . The complete mechanism of mammalian arsenic methylation with respect to the identity of reactants and order of products is still somewhat debatable and has been extensively reviewed [51, 52]. To summarize, iAs is taken up into circulation by both “trans-cellular” transport processes (i.e., passing through cells) and “para-cellular” transport processes (i.e., passing between cells) . Within cells, iAs is transformed by a series of reduction and oxidative methylation steps, and almost exclusively into four methylated products: monomethylarsonic acid (MMAV), monomethylarsonous acid (MMAIII), dimethylarsinic acid (DMAV), and dimethylarsinous acid (DMAIII). Methylation is enzymatically catalyzed by arsenic (3+) methyltransferase (AS3MT), utilizing S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl group donor in concert with endogenous reducing agents such as thioredoxin (Trx) and glutathione (GSH) [54, 55]. Recently, a hypothesis based on evidence from crystallography demonstrated that pentavalent intermediates are likely reduced while still bound to AS3MT, which suggests that more toxic trivalent arsenicals may be the end products of methylation rather than the less toxic pentavalent species .
While GSH is an important reductant in the methylation pathway, arsenic-GSH-conjugates are also actively transported and effluxed from cells, and arsenic tri-glutathione (As(GS)3) and monomethyl arsenite di-glutathione (MMA(GS)2) have been detected in urine and bile of mammals . These results suggest that conjugation is an important metabolism with respect to the mobility of arsenic in human tissue. In addition to arsenic-GSH conjugates, several sulfur-containing arsenicals can be formed in the body. In vitro and in vivo studies in a variety of organisms have demonstrated the production of thioarsenicals following arsenic exposure . For example, thioarsenicals have been detected in human urine and in urine and feces of animal models [59, 60]. Human and rat red blood cells both have the capacity to thiolate arsenic in vitro , but the toxicological implications and primary mechanism(s) of arsenic thiolation in the body remain unclear. Regardless, pentavalent monothiolated arsenicals like monomethyl monothioarsonic acid (MMMTAV) and dimethyl monothioarsinic acid (DMMTAV), have cytotoxicity more similar to trivalent arsenicals compared with their non-thiolated counterparts (i.e., pentavalent methylated oxoarsenicals) . A number of different chemical pathways have been proposed for the formation of thioarsenicals and have been thoroughly reviewed . In general, these pathways are non-enzymatic and involve interactions between methylated arsenicals and sulfide ions or bound sulfane sulfur, resulting in one or more of the arsenic-oxygen bonds being replaced by analogous arsenic-sulfur bonds . Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule throughout the body and source of sulfide ions. The liver is perhaps the most well-known source of biogenic H2S, suggesting that hepatocytes play a significant role in thiolation. This hypothesis, however, has yet to be experimentally addressed.

Second, if the focus of a study is on toxicity, the level of exposure should be above the lowest-observed-adverse-effect level (LOAEL) and somewhat lower than the immediate lethal dose (LD50). Unfortunately, there is considerable variability in LOAEL and LD50 estimates for humans, but according to the ATSDR and EPA’s toxicological profile on arsenic, the LOAEL for acute, oral exposure (Appendix A in profile) is approximately 0.05 mg iAs kg−1 body weight day−1. Assuming (as recommended by ATSDR ) a 55-kg person drinking 4.5 L of water day−1 and a 0.002-mg iAs kg−1 day−1 daily food intake, this level of exposure equates to 611 ppb arsenic in drinking water. Also, according to the ATSDR, death in oral arsenic exposures in drinking water > 60,000 ppb can result in death. Thus, exposures between 0.6 and 60 ppm should be relevant for human acute toxicity.
where Km values are the ratio of body weight to surface area (mouse Km = 3, human Km = 37) . Using this equation, 10, 25, and 100 ppm exposures in mice correspond to HEDs of 811, 2,027, and 8108 ppb in humans. All three of these exposures are well within the ATSDR toxicity range described above. In addition, the first level (811 ppb) is actually lower than that of drinking water recently reported for an arsenic rich part of Chile . The middle and upper exposure levels represent doses where one can expect to see increasing (dose-dependent) levels of toxicity.
Bacterial Arsenic Metabolism
iAsV Reduction and iAsIII Efflux
The ‘core’ function of the ars operon is conferred by the arsBC genes, encoding for an iAsIII-specific efflux pump (arsB) and a cytosolic iAsV oxidoreductase (arsC) [91, 92]. Resistance to iAsIII can be as simple as a one-step process consisting of ArsB-mediated efflux, while resistance to iAsV involves at least a two-step process via ArsC-mediated reduction to iAsIII followed by ArsB-mediated efflux. Most ars operons also contain a regulatory gene, arsR, that encodes a trans-acting, iAsIII-responsive transcriptional repressor [93, 94]. Efflux via ArsB is complemented or augmented in some bacteria by the homologous Acr3 transporter, sometimes referred to as ArsY [95, 96]. Despite independent evolutionary origins, ArsB and Acr3 have nearly identical functions with respect to arsenic. Both function as secondary active transporters coupling iAsIII efflux with H+ ion exchange, and both can function as subunits in a heterodimeric, ATP-driven iAsIII pump in the presence of the catalytic subunit, ArsA . arsB and acr3 genes are found in bacterial ars operons in roughly equal frequency, suggesting that iAsIII resistance was very important in the evolution of arsenic resistance .
Oxidoreductase enzymes encoded by arsC genes are structurally and functionally similar to low molecular weight tyrosine phosphatases . ArsC-mediated iAsV reduction is coupled with cellular thiol-disulfide exchange systems, which vary depending on the lineage of ArsC expressed . In E. coli and other proteobacteria, iAsV reduction is commonly coupled with GSH and glutaredoxin, while thioredoxin-dependent ArsC enzymes are common in Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla . A third class of ArsC enzymes, first characterized in an isolate of Corynebacterium, utilizes the cellular mycothiol/mycoredoxin system . This little studied redox system is so far uniquely found in Actinobacteria but has functional similarities to the GSH/glutaredoxin systems found in Proteobacteria.
Many ars operons also carry extended ars genes that support this core functionality. Two of the most common are arsA and arsD. As mentioned above, arsA encodes for a catalytic ATPase that forms a heterodimeric complex with ArsB/Acr3 transporters capable of ATP-driven primary efflux of iAsIII . ArsD is a metallochaperone protein that facilitates cytosolic transport of reduced iAsIII to the ArsAB complex for efflux . While arsA and arsD are not essential for arsenic resistance, their presence greatly improves the efflux efficiency and transcriptional regulation of this arsenate reduction/arsenite efflux resistance pathway.
In addition to cytosolic arsenate reduction, many prokaryotes are capable of utilizing iAs for respiration. These systems differ from ArsC-mediated iAsV reduction first because they take place in the periplasm and second because they harness energy from the redox conversion between iAsIII and iAsV in the form of electrochemical gradients and electron transport. To date, there is little evidence of respiratory arsenic metabolism in the human gut environment. This may be due to the abundance of more favorable electron donor/acceptor couples in the intestine, although it is possible that they have simply not been identified yet. Several expert reviews are available that detail the structures, mechanisms, and distribution of these energy-harnessing arsenic systems [103, 104].
Organoarsenic Metabolism in Bacteria
Human AS3MT, mentioned above, is a homolog of prokaryotic ArsM. The presence of this methylation enzyme in representative organisms from all three domains of life indicates that this metabolism was essential very early in earth’s biological history. Bacterial ArsM catalyzes the methylation of iAsIII utilizing SAM as a methyl donor in a similar fashion to that of human AS3MT. Arsenic-methylating bacteria can generate significant amounts of mono-, di-, and trimethylated arsenicals from iAsIII . While arsenic methylation functionally detoxifies iAs into MMAV and DMAV under oxidizing conditions, bacterial methylation has been shown to yield more toxic trivalent forms of mono and dimethyl arsenic in a simulated gut environment . Li et al. recently proposed that arsenic methylation would not have evolved as a mode of detoxification in the early biosphere, but rather as a functional secondary metabolic pathway . Similar to allelopathy in plants, arsenic-methylating bacteria may have gained a selective advantage in anoxic environments by secreting toxic MMAIII into their surroundings, thus inhibiting the growth of competitors. Interestingly, greater amounts of MMAIII are formed when arsenic-methylating bacteria are grown in co-culture, whereas the less toxic MMAV is the favored product of the same organisms grown in monoculture . Li et al. also discuss the evolution of multiple resistance pathways against MMAIII and other toxic trivalent organoarsenicals, including efflux mediated by ArsP  and ArsK , demethylation back to iAs by ArsI , and chemical oxidation to the pentavalent state (oAsIII to oAsV) by ArsH . ArsP mediated efflux is more specific to MMAIII but can also confer resistance to other trivalent organoarsenicals. ArsK is more promiscuous, conferring resistance to a variety of organic and inorganic trivalent arsenicals. ArsI is a carbon-As bond lyase capable of demethylating MMAIII to the less toxic iAsIII [25, 112].
Although arsM has been found in the genomes of different bacteria that inhabit the human gut, it is not yet clear whether arsenic methylation occurs in this environment. Similarly, ArsP, ArsH, and/or ArsI activities have not been experimentally evaluated and so it is unknown whether these play a role in human arsenic toxicity. It is worth noting that arsI has only been identified in aerobic bacteria, suggesting that it may not be common amongst the abundant anaerobic bacteria of the human gut . That said, there is plenty of oxygen along the gut mucosa to support facultative bacteria and so even oxygen-dependent arsenic metabolisms should be considered possible until experimentally ruled out.
Much of what is known about arsenic-microbe interactions comes from environmental microbiology and in ecosystems such as soil and the subsurface, where microbial metabolisms are the primary determinants of arsenic speciation, mobility, and toxicity. Many of the same principles used in these environmental microbiology studies of arsenic can be directly applied to understand arsenic interactions with the human microbiome. For example, arsenic-microbiome interactions can have three general and sometimes overlapping outcomes: no noticeable effect, perturbation of microbiome taxonomic structure and function, and alteration of the pharmacological and/or toxicological properties of the toxicants . More than a few studies argue that host metabolism is as important or perhaps more important than microbiome metabolism with respect to biotransformation and toxicity of arsenic [113, 114]. As discussed below, there is now strong evidence that the microbiome is an important determinant of exposure outcomes. Alteration of microbiome structure function is often part of the body’s physiologic response to physical and perceived threats, and microbiome structure-function relationships have been described for many human diseases, syndromes, and behaviors. Recovery from an altered microbiome structure depends on which members of the microbiome are affected and whether these taxa can recover. If they cannot, a “dysbiotic” state may persist that promotes deleterious health outcomes. For example, perturbation of the gut microbiome by a toxicant can influence normal host uptake, metabolism, and excretion of dietary nutrients and may feedback on uptake of the toxicant. Similarly, toxicant killing of microbiome members may alter the maintenance of the gut epithelial barrier, regulation of host inflammatory responses, and synthesis or recycling of important metabolites and co-factors involved in the host’s toxic response pathways. Evidence for this type of interaction is also discussed below. Finally, pathologic outcomes due to chemical toxicant alteration of microbiome structure-function are juxtaposed by outcomes caused by microbiome biotransformation of chemical toxicants that alter their physicochemical properties. Sometimes these alterations result from direct, enzymatic activity (e.g., ArsBC), but sometimes they result indirectly and non-enzymatically when byproducts of microbial metabolism chemically interact with toxicants. Adding to this complexity, some biotransformations may have no effect, some may ameliorate, and some may significantly increase toxicity. As with the other types of interactions, evidence for microbiome biotransformation of arsenic is discussed below.
The Microbiome Alters Arsenic Exposure
The notion that intestinal bacteria contribute to health outcomes following arsenic exposure is now more than a century old. In 1917, Puntoni reported the ability of spore-forming bacteria isolated from human stool to produce a potent garlic odor when cultivated in the presence of cacodyl arsenic . It was noted at the time that the odor was also common in people taking therapeutic arsenical compounds orally, but less common when taken subcutaneously, leading him to suspect that the gut microbiome was chemically altering arsenic. In another study, Challenger and Higginbottom (1935) identified a similar gaseous arsenical produced by Scopulariopsis brevicaulis (formerly Penicillium brevicaule) as trimethyl arsine gas . More recently, E. coli isolated from the cecal contents of rats were shown to metabolize DMAsV, producing TMAVO and an unidentified arsenical .
In addition to experiments in pure cultures of bacteria, arsenic metabolism has been studied in the context of microbiome members experimentally evaluated in the lab (ex vivo). Incubations of the intestinal contents of rodents demonstrated a high capacity for enzymatic reduction and methylation of iAs mediated by the microbiome [118, 119]. Furthermore, two different studies showed that human microbiomes reduced and methylated iAsV in a simulated human gut environment, yielding both toxic (MMAIII and DMAIII) and comparatively less toxic methylated arsenicals (MMAV and DMAV) [106, 120]. Interestingly, iAsV was reduced to iAsIII even in autoclave sterilized experimental controls, suggesting that non-enzymatic processes may contribute to this transformation.
While the above studies provide strong evidence that the microbiome has the potential to influence arsenic toxicity, none of them experimentally determined the overall impact that the microbiome has on host exposure. In Coryell et al., our lab showed that antibiotic treatment of mice prior to arsenic exposure significantly reduced fecal arsenic excretion and increased host accumulation of arsenic in the liver and lung tissues . We speculated that microbial biomass in the gut, depleted by antibiotic exposures, was involved in mediating fecal elimination of ingested arsenic . Pure culture experiments by others demonstrated adsorption of iAs onto extracellular polymeric substances of Gram-positive, but not Gram-negative, bacterial isolates , providing a possible mechanism for microbial arsenic accumulation in the gut. Some evidence from our study also supported this mechanism, as we found the Gram-positive bacterium, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, but not Gram-negative E. coli, provided protection to gnotobiotic AS3MT-KO mice during exposure .
Arsenic Perturbation of the Microbiome
Arsenic has been found to change the taxonomic structure of the microbiome in lab animals and human populations. In mice and rats, arsenic exposure induced shifts in microbiome community membership, metabolite profiles, the functional metagenome, and proteomic expression [68, 123, 124, 125]. Both arsenic dose and length of exposure were sufficient modifiers of the gut microbial community , with significant changes reported after mice drank water containing as little as 10 ppb of iAsIII  (i.e., the current maximum contaminant level for drinking water set by the World Health Organization and the US Environmental Protection Agency). Even though microbiome change can be quantified following arsenic exposure, it can be difficult to determine whether these changes have deleterious effects. For example, lab animal studies have made efforts to identify plausible links between arsenic-induced changes in the microbiome and host physiology, including altered host nitrogen homeostasis , energy metabolism , gut immune signaling , and epithelial histology . In all of these cases, however, it remains unclear whether the observed changes in the host were caused directly by changes in the microbiota, arsenic toxicity, or interactions between them. It is necessary to understand the difference between association and causation and complementary experiments in gnotobiotic animal models can help fill this gap.
In a cohort of US infants with low to moderate arsenic exposure, microbes representing 8 genera from the Firmicutes phylum were positively associated with urinary arsenic concentrations at 6 weeks of age, while 15 genera, including Bacteroides and Bifidobacterium were negatively associated. Notably, effects were stratified by sex and feeding status, with male and formula fed infants more susceptible to arsenic-related effects on the microbiome . This is in contrast with findings in CD-1 mice that female mice were more sensitive to arsenic-induced microbiome perturbation . In Bangladeshi children (4–6 years of age), high levels of arsenic in home drinking water were associated with a greater abundance of Gammaproteobacteria in the microbiome, more specifically, members of the Enterobacteriaceae family . Metagenomic analysis identified an overall enrichment of genes involved in antibiotic exposure and multi-drug resistance, suggesting that arsenic and antibiotic resistance may be effectively linked. This finding is supported by animal studies demonstrating co-enrichments of antibiotic and metal resistance genes in fecal metagenomes of arsenic-exposed mice [123, 130]. Arsenic resistance genes have been characterized on a number of bacterial plasmids and other mobile genetic elements that also contain antibiotic resistance determinants , and bioinformatic analyses have identified a high degree of co-occurrence between ars genes, resistance to tetracycline, mercury, and copper, and a class 1 integrase gene associated with bacterial horizontal gene transfer . Thus, enrichment of antibiotic and metal resistance in the arsenic-exposed microbiome may be mediated by both co-selection and mobilized genetic elements.
The effects of arsenic on the microbiome appeared to be unique when compared with other environmental metal and metalloid toxicants [125, 132]. However, there is little similarity in compositional shifts during arsenic exposures in different studies. For instance, in Dong et al., Enterobacteriaceae were effectively the only taxa enriched in the high arsenic-exposed population of Bangladeshi children , while Hoen et al. reported a strong negative association between Enterobacteriaceae and urinary arsenic in US infants . Nutritional factors may help explain differences between studies. In mice, moderate zinc deficiency was shown to exacerbate arsenic-induced microbiome shifts , while iron supplementation reduced the effects of arsenic on the microbiome and host response [123, 133]. Enrichments of bacterial iron acquisition pathways under arsenic exposure were also reported in rats, including the bacterial iron complex transport system  and enterochelin, a powerful iron chelator commonly found in members of Enterobacteriaceae .
In summary, arsenic exposure may cause compositional and functional changes in the gut microbiome, but not all reports identified consistent effects. Animal experiments using a variety of exposure conditions, delivery routes, microbiome analyses, and arsenic concentrations (10 ppb–100 ppm), have reported arsenic-induced perturbations dependent on host sex, arsenic dose, exposure time, and dietary micronutrients. Arsenic may be an important factor in the enrichment, spread, and/or maintenance of antibiotic resistance genes, and further investigation is needed to determine whether arsenic and other metal toxicants have an important influence on the reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes currently in circulation. Both clinical and epidemiological studies examining arsenic-microbiome interactions should clarify these and other potential links and these studies should include arsenical speciation as well as proxies for microbiome function.
The Microbiome Decreases Arsenic Toxicity
In vivo, microbiome “phenotypes” have been linked to altered ratios of methylated and inorganic arsenicals in the host . However, few studies have directly linked microbiome change, alteration, or absence with host health. We recently used humanized AS3MT-KO mice (i.e., germ free mice that received a human fecal transplant) to evaluate the effect of microbiome interindividual variability on disease outcome (mortality) . Each group of humanized mice represented a different human donor, and each had markedly different microbiome compositions. We found that only a few bacteria were consistently (i.e., across humanized groups) associated with a beneficial outcome (i.e., longer survival) and that they belonged to some of the most common taxa found in the human gut. For example, two representatives of the Blautia genus as well as representatives of the Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcus, and Faecalibacterium families were significantly associated with survival across humanized groups, but these are all very common and diverse groups of bacteria. It is possible that although these taxa were consistently associated across subjects, important strain level differences would weaken or even remove the statistical associations. In other words, taxa that are beneficial in one individual may not be beneficial in another person because bacterial taxonomy often does not reliably define function (Note: the first three E. coli genomes to be sequenced shared only 40% of their protein-coding loci) . Regardless, we showed definitively that an intact microbiome significantly delayed arsenic-induced mortality in A3mt-KO mice, compared with germ-free and antibiotic-treated groups. Thus, there is now strong evidence that the microbiome protects the host from arsenic toxicity . Since this protection seems to be donor microbiome dependent, the hunt is on for the specific members and metabolic pathways that are most beneficial and might be amenable for development as novel arsenicosis treatment and prevention strategies.
Challenges and Recommendations
Terminology like “toxicomicrobiomics” and “pharmacomicrobiomics” have emerged in recent literature from increased interest in microbiome-mediated metabolism of xenobiotic compounds, and its influence on physiological outcomes . These emerging fields provide a framework for incorporating microbiome research into quantitative risk assessment, public health, and precision medicine. Despite many unknown factors, evidence discussed in this review suggests that the microbiome plays a significant role in limiting host exposure to arsenic. Further study of these functions will be needed to determine whether effects are due to direct microbial metabolism of arsenic or some other indirect mechanisms. Mechanistic research should emphasize relevant dosimetry, appropriate experimental manipulations, and establishing causal links to health outcomes in the host. Experimental reproducibility and generalizability are perennial challenges in health research, especially when it comes to the microbiome. Microbiome variation between different animal vivariums can contribute to unexpected experimental variation and a lack of reproducibility in results . This not only demonstrates the urgency for developing better standardizations in animal models but also highlights the need for further investigation of natural microbiome variation between individuals and populations. Germ-free and gnotobiotic models, along with transplantation of human microbiomes, represent powerful tools for assessing the effects of natural or induced variation in vivo. Best practices are also being proposed for better standardization of experimental designs, sample collection, data analysis, and integration of microbiome data with other targeted or non-targeted data sets. More work is also needed in developing animal models of chronic arsenic toxicity, as chronic exposure represents the greatest threat to human well-being.
So far, very few epidemiological studies have investigated arsenic-microbiome interactions and even fewer interrogated host health as a variable. While single-timepoint observational studies may identify potential associations with microbiome composition or activity, they are limited to correlative inference. Prospective cohort studies tracking oral or fecal communities over time could help clarify key interactions between microbiome arsenic-related diseases, and it is important to recognize that the microbiome is highly dynamic at the strain level . Information regarding the incidence of enteric infection or antibiotic use in arsenic-exposed populations could be incorporated in both cohort and case-control studies to help determine the potential influence of these known microbiome modifiers on long-term risk on arsenic-related disease. Clinical research on the use of ATO in medical treatment of APL could also benefit from integration of microbiome analyses into empirical case reports and mechanistic studies. Given the evidence from. animal models, it is plausible that antibiotic use or other microbiome perturbations may influence the kinetics and efficacy of ATO administered orally. Current evidence of the microbiome’s influence on arsenic uptake and excretion may or may not translate to ATO administration, as alternate chemical sources of arsenicals are more often common in animal models of arsenic toxicity.
The science of arsenic toxicology underwent a paradigm shift with the development of technologies and methods allowing for rapid and accurate speciation of arsenical compounds. Similarly, advancements in DNA sequencing and meta-omics technologies have changed our understanding of microbial interactions in human health. We reviewed and summarized recent insights into the influence of the microbiome on arsenic metabolism, excretion, and toxicity and discussed the influence of microbiome perturbations on arsenic exposure in both animal models and humans. The microbiome clearly has the potential to alter host arsenic metabolism and disease outcomes in mice. However, more research is needed to quantify microbial metabolism of arsenic, in vivo, and to identify underlying mechanisms influencing host uptake, metabolism, and excretion. Animal research is currently limited by availability of adequate animal models for arsenic-induced disease, especially with regards to health effects from chronic arsenic exposures, which represent perhaps, one of the greatest threats to human health. Further exploration and application of germ free and gnotobiotic animal models may help identify causal arsenic-microbiome links relevant to clinical practices and interventions.

CALIFORNIA, USA — California lawmakers are taking up a number of sweeping police reforms, including a measure that could strip some officers of their badges. The measures are quickly moving through the state legislature despite strong opposition.
“Since Oscar was murdered over 1,300 Californians have been killed. Only one officer has been convicted,” said Cephus “Uncle Bobby” Johnson who founded California’s Families United for Justice.
Johnson has been pushing for police reform since 2009, when his nephew Oscar grant was shot and killed by a BART police officer.
