(19) In most cases these provide resistance to both the oxyanions of +III oxidation state, antimonite and arsenite, and the +V oxidation state, arsenate.
(20) The ArsA protein, the catalytic component of the plasmid-encoded resistance system for removal of the toxic oxyanions arsenite, antimonite, and arsenate from bacterial cells, catalyzes oxyanion-stimulated ATP hydrolysis.
