FIG 5.
Biosorption of U by D. radiodurans and E. coli. Wild-type E. coli or D. radiodurans cells (OD600, ∼1) were suspended in 10 mM MOPS buffer containing 50, 100, 200, or 1,000 μM U under either GC1 or GC2. Under GC2, the carbonate concentration was always 2.4 times higher than the U concentration used. The amount of U biosorbed per gram (dry weight) of cells is reported. The percent U removed is indicated by numbers above the respective bars.
