In the context of rising anthropogenic activities and world conflicts, there is an urgent need
for energy supply, such as nuclear power from uranium minerals. Nonetheless, uranium is …

Fe-bearing clay minerals are widely distributed in soils, sediments, and rocks, representing
a significant Fe pool in the Earth's crust. The electron transfer (ET) from/to structural Fe in …

Reduced iron-containing clay (RIC) minerals have been documented to exhibit antibacterial
activity through a synergistic action of extracellular membrane attack and intracellular …

In contaminated water and soil, little is known about the role and mechanism of the
biometabolic molecule siderophore desferrioxamine-B (DFO) in the biogeochemical cycle of …

In the last several decades, microbial reduction of U (VI) to U (IV) has been applied as a
method to remediate uranium contamination in situ. The U (VI) bioreduction kinetics and …

Microbial reduction of soluble hexavalent uranium (U (VI)) to sparingly soluble tetravalent
uranium (U (IV)) has been explored as an in situ strategy to immobilize U. Organic ligands …

Bioreduction of soluble U (VI) to sparingly soluble U (IV) is proposed as an effective
approach to remediating uranium contamination. However, the stability of biogenic U (IV) in …

Biogeochemical redox cycling of iron (Fe) essentially governs various geochemical
processes in nature. However, the mechanistic underpinnings of Fe-redox cycling in deep …

This study investigates the effects of nitrate exposure on the indigenous consortium
mediated remediation of uranium-contaminated groundwater. Intermittent experiments …

Uranium can be incorporated into the octahedral sites of high crystalline iron oxides such as
goethite, magnetite, lepidocrocite, green-rust and hematite, in substitution of iron as either …
