The only reason the bacteria incorporated arsenic at all was because there was nothing else around; as soon as it found phosphorous, it readily replaced the arsenic.

just fro m the brief description, it doesn’t make clear whether the bacteria can live off just arsenic, or whether ‘if given a choice’ it prefers phosphorus? It seems from the short exerpt that it’s just a case of ‘if it’s around (the phosphorus), we’ll take it, if not, oh well- we’ll survive’?

I've heard that human cells that can't get enough magnesium will substitute aluminum which causes all sorts of problems.
