The concentrations of U in natural waters are usually low, being typically less than 4 μg/L in
river water, around 3.3 μg/L in open seawater, and usually less than 5 μg/L in groundwater …

This review examines the acid and ferric sulfate bioleaching of uranium from low grade ores.
The review traces back the progression of the technology from the time the role of …

Uranium is known for its toxicity and has been a nuclear hazard. Its radioactive nature has
made it a cause of lung and bone cancer. The uranium content in water bodies in several …

The presence of actinides in radioactive wastes is of major concern because of their
potential for migration from the waste repositories and long-term contamination of the …

Microorganisms can mediate the formation of minerals by a process called
biomineralization. This process offers an efficient way to sequester inorganic pollutants …

The goal of this study was to quantify the contribution of extracellular polymeric substances
(EPS) to U (VI) immobilization by Shewanella sp. HRCR-1. Through comparison of U (VI) …

Micro-organisms colonized the world before the multi-cellular organisms evolved. With the
advent of microscopy, their existence became evident to the mankind and also the vast …

Bacteria have contributed to the formation of minerals since the advent of life on Earth.
Bacterial biomineralization plays a critical role on biogeochemical cycles and has important …

This work describes the mechanisms of uranium biomineralization at acidic conditions by
Bacillus sphaericus JG-7B and Sphingomonas sp. S15-S1 both recovered from extreme …

Biomineralization is a process that leads to the formation of minerals using the biologically
or biotechnologically mediated route. Calcium carbonate is one such biomineral that is …
