Resistance of solid-phase U(VI) to microbial reduction during in situ bioremediation of uranium-contaminated groundwater.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Speciation of solid-phase uranium in uranium-contaminated subsurface sediments undergoing uranium bioremediation demonstrated that although microbial reduction of soluble U(VI) readily immobilized uranium as U(IV), a substantial portion of the U(VI) in the aquifer was strongly associated with the sediments and was not microbially reducible. These results have important implications for in situ uranium bioremediation strategies.
