Thermoanaerobacter sp.
This bacterium was capable of using acetate, glucose, hydrogen, lactate, pyruvate,
succinate, and xylose as electron donors while reducing U(VI).
[130]
This thermophilic bacterium used O 2 ,NO 3 , Fe(III), and S 0 as terminal electron acceptors
for growth and also reduced U(VI).
Thermus scotoductus
[131]
Thermoterrabacterium
ferrireducens
Organotrophic growth was coupled to the reduction of sparingly soluble U(VI) phosphate.
This was the first report of the microbial reduction of a largely insoluble U(VI)
compound.
