Microbial metabolism has the potential to alter the solubility of a broad range of priority
radionuclides, including uranium, other actinides and fission products. Of notable interest …

Geobacter species specialize in making electrical contacts with extracellular electron
acceptors and other organisms. This permits Geobacter species to fill important niches in a …

Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

Clumped isotope geochemistry is concerned with the state of ordering of rare isotopes in
natural materials. That is, it examines the extent to which rare isotopes (D, 13C, 15N, 18O …

Groundwater ecosystems offer vast and complex habitats for diverse microbial communities.
Here we review the current status of groundwater microbial biodiversity research with a …

The advent of rapid complete genome sequencing, and the potential to capture this
information in genome-scale metabolic models, provide the possibility of comprehensively …

The dramatic decrease in solubility accompanying the reduction of U (VI) to U (IV),
producing the insoluble mineral uraninite, has been viewed as a potential mechanism for …

The family Geobacteraceae, with its only valid genus Geobacter, comprises
deltaproteobacteria ubiquitous in soil, sediments, and subsurface environments where metal …

The in situ stimulation of Fe (III) oxide reduction by Geobacter bacteria leads to the
concomitant precipitation of hexavalent uranium [U (VI)] from groundwater. Despite its …

With the rapid advances in sequencing technology, the cost of sequencing has dramatically
dropped and the scale of sequencing projects has increased accordingly. This has provided …
