Scientists have identified a natural microbial process that can help clean up nuclear contamination.
In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers report that bacteria living in the contaminated water of a flooded former uranium mine in Germany can neutralize toxic uranium. When supplied with glycerol as a carbon source under low-oxygen conditions, these microbes convert highly soluble and toxic uranium into a rare, stable solid compound known as FeU(V)O4.
Over a 130-day period the bacteria removed approximately 95 percent of the dissolved uranium from the water samples, incorporating it into solid minerals within their cell walls.
