Abstract

Abstract : A new bioremediation method is developed by using a gold nanomaterial-containing radiation-resistant bacterium. Abstract : We herein report a new bioremediation method using a radiation-resistant bacterium. Biogenic gold nanomaterial-containing Deinococcus radiodurans R1 showed excellent capability for the removal of radioactive iodine (>99%) in several aqueous solutions. These observations demonstrated that our remediation system would be efficiently applied to the treatment of radioactive wastes.
