Industrialization and other anthropogenic human activities pose significant environmental
risks. As a result of the hazardous pollution, numerous living organisms may suffer from …

The contamination of groundwater by heavy metal, originating either from natural soil
sources or from anthropogenic sources is a matter of utmost concern to the public health …

Microbial metabolism has the potential to alter the solubility of a broad range of priority
radionuclides, including uranium, other actinides and fission products. Of notable interest …

Environmental contamination by 99Tc (VII) from radioactive wastewater streams is of
particular concern due to the long half-life of 99Tc and high mobility of pertechnetate …

Geobacter species specialize in making electrical contacts with extracellular electron
acceptors and other organisms. This permits Geobacter species to fill important niches in a …

Uranium (U) pollution is an environmental hazard caused by the development of the nuclear
industry. Microbial reduction of hexavalent uranium (U (VI)) to tetravalent uranium (U (IV)) …

Here, we report a catalytic beacon sensor for uranyl (UO22+) based on an in vitro-selected
UO22+-specific DNAzyme. The sensor consists of a DNA enzyme strand with a 3 …

The dramatic decrease in solubility accompanying the reduction of U (VI) to U (IV),
producing the insoluble mineral uraninite, has been viewed as a potential mechanism for …

The family Geobacteraceae, with its only valid genus Geobacter, comprises
deltaproteobacteria ubiquitous in soil, sediments, and subsurface environments where metal …

The abundance and composition of bacteria of the phylum Acidobacteria were surveyed in
subsurface sediments from uranium-contaminated sites using amplification of 16S rRNA …
