Both speciation and release of As from this soil was followed under anaerobic conditions using a laboratory batch experiment. In the presence of exogenous carbon sources, As-V initially present in the soil matrix and/or adsorbed on synthetic hydrous ferric oxides were solubilized and mainly reduced to As-III by indigenous soil microflora. After a 1-month incubation period in these biotic conditions, As-III accounted for 80-85% of the total dissolved As and more than 60% of the solid-phase As. Bacterial community structure (i.e., 16S rDNA-based capillary electrophoresis single-strand conformation polymorphism profiles) changed with incubation time and As amendment. The detection of distantly related arsenate respiratory reductase genes (arrA), as functional markers of As-V respirers, indicates that novel dissimilatory As-V-reducing bacteria may be involved in As biotransformation and mobility in anoxic soils. Since As and iron were concomitantly released, a crucial role of indirect As-mobilizing bacteria on As behavior was also revealed. Our results show that the majority of As within the soil matrix was bioavailable and bioaccessible for heterotrophic As-V reduction to As-III, which may increase As toxicity and mobility in the contaminated soils. %$ 038 ; 084 ; 068
