ML. We set out to determine if this picoplankter could metabolize inorganic arsenic, and in doing so form unusual arsenolipids (e.g., methylated arsinoyl ribosides) as reported in other saline ecosystems and by halophilic algae. We cultivated Picocystis str. ML on an inorganic seawater-based medium with either low (37 \u00b5M) or high (1,000 \u00b5M) phosphate in the presence of arsenite (~0.4 mM), arsenate (~0.8 mM), or without arsenic additions.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P90VW2FP", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.5e94c7ab82ce172707f035f2.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_5e94c7ab82ce172707f035f2", "keyword": ["Picocystis", "USGS:5e94c7ab82ce172707f035f2", "arsenic", "arsenolipids", "biochemistry", "biogeochemical cycling", "biota", "cell biology", "chromatography", "geochemistry", "liquid chromatography", "mass spectroscopy", "microbiology", "plankton"], "modified": "2020-08-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-119.1498, 37.9409, -118.9081, 38.0743", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Growth of cultured Picocystis strain ML in the presence of arsenic, and occurrence of arsenolipids in these Picocystis as well as biota and sediment from Mono Lake, California"}
