Surface biomineralization of uranium onto Shewanella putrefaciens with or without extracellular polymeric substances

The influence of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) on the interaction between uranium [U(VI)] and Shewanella putrefaciens (S. putrefaciens), especially the U(VI) biomineralization process occurring on whole cells and cell components of S. putrefaciens was investigated in this study. The remov...

description The influence of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) on the interaction between uranium [U(VI)] and Shewanella putrefaciens (S. putrefaciens), especially the U(VI) biomineralization process occurring on whole cells and cell components of S. putrefaciens was investigated in this study. The removal efficiency of U(VI) by S. putrefaciens was decreased by 22% after extraction of EPS. Proteins were identified as the main components of EPS by EEM analysis and were determined to play a major role in the biosorption of uranium. SEM-EDS results showed that U(VI) was distributed around the whole cell as 500-nanometer schistose structures, which consisted primarily of U and P. However, similar uranium lamellar crystal were wrapped only on the surface of EPS-free S. putrefaciens cells. FTIR and XPS analysis indicated that phosphorus- and nitrogen-containing groups played important roles in complexing U (VI). XRD and U LIII-edge EXAFS analyses demonstrated that the schistose structure consisted of hydrogen uranyl phosphate [H2(UO2)2(PO4)2•8H2O]. Our study provides new insight into the mechanisms of induced uranium crystallization by EPS and cell wall membranes of living bacterial cells under aerobic conditions.
