Does GFAJ-1 use Adenosine triarsenate as its energy currency?
I'd have to agree that it's highly improbably that the GFAJ-1 strain used nucleoside triarsenates as an energy source. There are three main lines of evidence pointed out in the Science reviews that were published after the initial publication of the paper.


The incorporation of arsenate ions into NTAs is not a plug-and-play process, per se. Arsenate does not simply replace phosphate ions from molecules. In order for an NTA to form, it must arsenylate (like phosphorylate) a ribose molecule, then have the purine/pyrmidine ring form (and be attached to the ribose), and then two more arsenates have to be linked via ester bond to the other first arsenate. Mind you, this all happens in water. Arsenate esters are notoriously unstable in water, so it's difficult to imagine an NTA forming stably.
The original team in Felisa Wolfe-Simon's lab didn't intentionally add phosphate ions to their growth media; instead, the approximate amount of phosphate impurity was measured and reported. The lab compared this level of phosphate with the minimal levels reported in E. coli from another paper and basically said, "There isn't enough phosphate in our growth media for our GFAJ-1 strain to grow solely on phosphorous." Well, that logic is a little non sequitur  because GFAJ-1 is a halomonad (they said so themselves) and there is literature pointing to a species within Halomonadaceae that can grow on phosphate levels lower than that of the impurities reported.
Although the Wolfe-Simon team added arsenate into their growth media, it's unlikely that any biologically-useful arsenic ended up in the cells at all. Under physiological electrochemical conditions, arsenate gets reduced to arsenite. Phosphate ions, on the other hand, are stable at physiological potentials.


All in all, there's a reason why life chose phosphorous instead of arsenic. Although both elements have ions with a propensity to make ester bonds, maybe arsenic just doesn't fit into our anthropocentric view of what life is.
