Microbial activity in mixed wastes can have an appreciable effect on the dissolution or
precipitation of toxic metals and radionuclides. Fundamental information on microbial …

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 …

This paper presents the molecular characterization of attached bacterial populations
growing in slowly flowing artesian groundwater from deep crystalline bed-rock of the Stripa …

This study investigated the distribution of bacteria in groundwater from 16 different levels in
five boreholes in granite bedrock down to a maximum of 860 m. Enrichment cultures were …

Bacterial communities from surface soils, groundwater, drilling muds and deep subsurface
cores were profiled by sole carbon source utilization and by phospholipid ester-linked fatty …

The long-term disposal of radioactive wastes in a deep geological repository is the accepted
international solution for the treatment and management of these special residues. The …

The incorporation of CO2 and assimilation of introduced organic compounds by bacterial
populations in deep groundwater from fractured crystalline bedrock has been studied. Three …

This paper presents and compares the assimilation rates of CO2 and lactate, and the lactate
respiration rates, of attached bacterial populations growing in slowly flowing groundwater (1 …

This study is our first effort to obtain more information on the effects of microbial activities on
the mobilization/immobilization of radionuclides in geological environments. We used …

A time-course experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of γ radiation on the
indigenous microbiota present in rock obtained from Yucca Mountain, Nevada Test Site …
