Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The surface modification scheme reported in this paper enables rational design of the surface properties of tailored porous materials and may lead to the synthesis of more sophisticated functionalized composites for environmental and industrial applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of sphalerite (ZnS) deposits in natural biofilms of sulfate-reducing bacteria.
M. Labrenz,Gregory K. Druschel,Tamara Thomsen-Ebert,Benjamin Gilbert,Susan A. Welch,Kenneth M. Kemner,Graham A. Logan,Roger E. Summons,Gelsomina De Stasio,Philip L. Bond,Barry Lai,Shelly D. Kelly,Jillian F. Banfield +12 more
TL;DR: These results show how microbes control metal concentrations in groundwater- and wetland-based remediation systems and suggest biological routes for formation of some low-temperature ZnS deposits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of Uranium(VI) by Mixed Iron(II)/Iron(III) Hydroxide (Green Rust): Formation of UO2 Nanoparticles
TL;DR: Results clearly indicate that U(VI) (as soluble uranyl ion) is readily reduced by green rust to U(IV) in the form of relatively insoluble UO2 nanoparticles, suggesting that the presence of green rusts in the subsurface may have significant effects on the mobility of uranium, particularly under iron-reducing conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein Oxidation Implicated as the Primary Determinant of Bacterial Radioresistance
Michael J. Daly,Elena K. Gaidamakova,Vera Y. Matrosova,Alexander Vasilenko,Min Zhai,Richard D. Leapman,Barry Lai,Bruce Ravel,S. W. Li,Kenneth M. Kemner,James K. Fredrickson +10 more
TL;DR: It is presented the case that protein, rather than DNA, is the principal target of the biological action of IR in sensitive bacteria, and extreme resistance in Mn-accumulating bacteria is based on protein protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanometre-size products of uranium bioreduction.
TL;DR: It is shown that uraninite (UO2) particles formed from uranium in sediments by bacterial reduction are typically less than 2 nanometres across and that the small size has important implications for uranite reactivity and fate.
