TL;DR: Results show that R. metallidurans CH34 may be suitable for the remediation of selenite- but not selenate- contaminated environments, and selenATE mostly follows an assimilatory pathway and the reduction pathway is not activated upon selenates exposure.

TL;DR: Computer modeling of uranyl Speciation is reported, enabling one to draw a parallel between uranyl speciation and its cytotoxicity, and the CI50 cytot toxicity index, the uranium concentration leading to 50% dead cells after 24 h of exposure, is 500 microM (+/-100 microM) and strongly depends on uranyl counterion and cell culture medium composition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution of K, Ca, Fe and Co in whole plants, and in leaf and stem sections, were examined by micro-PIXE and total Co concentrations were determined by ICP-MS.

TL;DR: A trace element deposition biomonitoring experiment with transplants of the fruticose lichen Evernia prunastri confirmed the ability of Evernian transplants for atmospheric metal deposition monitoring, but concluded that trace element concentrations were not homogeneous in EvernIA.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mixed zirconium-lanthanum phosphate La1/3Zr2(PO4)3, noted LaZrP, was studied as a potential host for actinides issued from high-level nuclear wastes.
