Interactions of Plutonium with a Typical Isolate from Mont Terri Opalinus Clay

Moll, H.; Lütke, L.; Bachvarova, V.; Cherkouk, A.; Selenska-Pobell, S.; Bernhard, G.

Clay is investigated as one potential host rock for a safe disposal of nuclear waste. In this talk, results will be presented and discussed describing the bacterial diversity in Mont Terri Opalinus clay, the enrichment and cultivation of bacterial clay isolates and the interactions of a specific novel Sporomusa sp. isolate with plutonium.
