Reduction of Uranium(VI) to Uranium(IV) by Clostridia

Abstract: Several different species of clostridia reduced U(VI) to U(IV) to various degrees. The optimal pH for U(VI) reduction is 5 to 6 in most cases; a Clostridium sp. showed the highest rate at pH 4. Nitrate did not affect U(VI) reduction, indicating that this process in clostridia is nitrate independent.

“…1) However, in the culture grown in the presence of MES buffer, most of the disappearance of U(VI) from solution (w90%) occurred within the first 30 h. In all the cultures, the removal stemmed from enzymatic U(VI) reduction (Gao and Francis, 2008) as confirmed by XANES (Fig. 2).…”

“…The capacity of Clostridium spp., among which C. acetobutylicum, to reduce U(VI) to U(IV) has been known for almost two decades (Francis et al, 1992;Gao and Francis, 2008). Species belonging to this genus were shown to enzymatically reduce U(VI) to U(IV).…”
