INTERACTION OF URANIUM WITH Desulfovibrio äspöensis (DSM 10631T)

The FZR/IRC contributions are focussing on the interactions of actinides with indigenous bacteria in Äspö aquifer. We presenting the first results on interactions of the sulfate-reducing bacterium D. äspöensis (DSM 10631T) with uranium(VI). 80 % of the U(VI), solved initially in a concentration of 0.02 mM in a liquid medium supplemented with lactat (10 mM), was removed by the cells of this strain after 72 h of incubation at pH 5.
