摘要

Biogenic UO_2 (uraninite) nanocrystals may be formed as a product of a microbial reduction process in uranium-enriched environments near the Earth's surface. We investigated the size, nanometer-scale structure, and aggregation state of UO_2 formed by iron-reducing bacterium, Shewanella putrefaciens CN32, from a uranium-rich solution. Characterization of biogenic UO_2 precipitates by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) revealed that the UO_2 nanopartcles formed were highly aggregated by organic polymers. Nearly all of the nanocrystals were networked in more or less 100 nm diameter spherical aggregates that displayed some concentric UO_2 accumulation with heterogeneity. Interestingly, pure UO_2 nanocrystals were piled on one another at several positions via UO_2-UO_2 interactions, which seem to be intimately related to a specific step in the process of growing large single crystals. In the process, calcium that was easily complexed with aqueous uranium(VI) appeared not to be combined with bioreduced uranium(IV), probably due to its lower binding energy. However, when phosphate was added to the system, calcium was found to be easily associated with uranium) IV), forming a new uranium phase, ningyoite. These results will extend the limited knowledge of microbial uranrferous mineralization and may provide new insights into the fate of aqueous uranium complexes.
