Abstract
Abstract
The iron oxide surface was modified with succinic acid moiety and the adsorbent obtained, Fe-SUC, was evaluated for the adsorption of U(VI) (Uranium (VI)) from aqueous solution. The Fe-SUC was characterized by FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, SEM-EDX (Scanning Electron Microscope - Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy), and particle size analysis. The adsorption behavior of U(VI) on Fe-SUC was studied as a function of pH, contact time, and concentration of U(VI) in the aqueous phase. The adsorption of U(VI) increased with increase in the pH of aqueous phase, and the adsorption saturation occurred at pH = 6. The kinetic data obtained for the adsorption of U(VI) on Fe-SUC were modeled with the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order rate models. Similarly, the U(VI) adsorption isotherm was fitted with Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherm models. The Langmuir adsorption capacity of U(VI) on Fe-SUC was about ∼176 mg g−1. The selectivity of the adsorbent toward U(VI) was evaluated in the presence of several possible interfering ions. The adsorbed U(VI) was recovered by 0.5 M sodium carbonate solution and the spent adsorbent was tested for its reusability.

Abstract
Microbial communities occurring in reference materials for artificial barriers (e.g., bentonites) in future deep geological repositories of radioactive waste can influence the migration behavior of radionuclides such as curium (CmIII). This study investigates the molecular interactions between CmIII and its inactive analogue europium (EuIII) with the indigenous bentonite bacterium Stenotrophomonas bentonitica at environmentally relevant concentrations. Potentiometric studies showed a remarkably high concentration of phosphates at the bacterial cell wall compared to other bacteria, revealing the great potential of S. bentonitica for metal binding. Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the role of phosphates and carboxylate groups from the cell envelope in the bioassociation of EuIII. Additionally, time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) identified phosphoryl and carboxyl groups from bacterial envelopes, among other released complexing agents, to be involved in the EuIII and CmIII coordination. The ability of this bacterium to form a biofilm at the surface of bentonites allows them to immobilize trivalent lanthanide and actinides in the environment.

Abstract
The environmental impact of uranium released during nuclear power production and related mining activity is an issue of great concern. Innovative environmental-friendly water remediation strategies, like those based on U biomineralization through phosphatase activity, are desirable. Here, we report the great U biomineralization potential of Stenotrophomonas sp. Br8 CECT 9810 over a wide range of physicochemical and biological conditions. Br8 cells exhibited high phosphatase activity which mediated the release of orthophosphate in the presence of glycerol-2-phosphate around pH 6.3. Mobile uranyl ions were bioprecipitated as needle-like fibrils at the cell surface and in the extracellular space, as observed by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM). Extended X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses showed the local structure of biogenic U precipitates to be similar to that of meta-autunite. In addition to the active U phosphate biomineralization process, the cells interact with this radionuclide through passive biosorption, removing up to 373 mg of U per g of bacterial dry biomass. The high U biomineralization capacity of the studied strain was also observed under different conditions of pH, temperature, etc. Results presented in this work will help to design efficient U bioremediation strategies for real polluted waters.

Abstract
The Sulfolobus acidocaldarius S-layer is composed of two main proteins: SlaA, which forms the ordered structure of the S-layer matrix, and SlaB, which supports and anchors the S-layer into the tetraether lipid membrane. While SlaA has previously been purified by exploiting its thermotolerance and high resistance to detergents, SlaB has resisted isolation, particularly from the cell membrane. Removal of proteins other than those of the S-layer is especially difficult if large batch-scale culture volumes are unavailable. Here, we describe a benchtop-scale protocol for the purification of SlaA from S. acidocaldarius, enabling isolation of SlaB using size exclusion chromatography (gel filtration). Using this protocol, we were able to identify for the first time tetraether lipids strongly attached to SlaB via heat- and detergent-resistant interactions.

Abstract
The interactions between glutathione disulfide, GSSG, the redox partner and dimer of the intracellular detoxification agent glutathione, GSH, and hexavalent uranium, U(VI), were extensively studied by solution NMR (in D2O), complemented by time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence and IR spectroscopies. As expected for the hard Lewis acid U(VI), coordination facilitates by the ligands' O-donor carboxyl groups. However, owing to the adjacent cationic α-amino group, the glutamyl-COO reveal monodentate binding, while the COO of the glycyl residues show bidentate coordination. The log K value for the reaction UO22+ + H3GSSG- → UO2(H3GSSG)+ (pH 3, 0.1 M NaClO4) was determined for the first time, being 4.81 ± 0.08; extrapolation to infinite dilution gave log K⊖ = 5.24 ± 0.08. U(VI) and GSSG form precipitates in the whole pD range studied (2-8), showing least solubility for 4 < pD < 6.5. Thus, particularly GSSG, hereby representing also other peptides and small proteins, affects the mobility of U(VI), strongly depending on the speciation of either component.

Abstract
Sulfolobus islandicus is a model microorganism in the TACK superphylum of the Archaea, a key lineage in the evolutionary history of cells. Here we report a genome-wide identification of the repertoire of genes essential to S. islandicus growth in culture. We confirm previous targeted gene knockouts, uncover the non-essentiality of functions assumed to be essential to the Sulfolobus cell, including the proteinaceous S-layer, and highlight essential genes whose functions are yet to be determined. Phyletic distributions illustrate the potential transitions that may have occurred during the evolution of this archaeal microorganism, and highlight sets of genes that may have been associated with each transition. We use this comparative context as a lens to focus future research on archaea-specific uncharacterized essential genes that may provide valuable insights into the evolutionary history of cells. Sulfolobus islandicus is a model organism within the TACK superphylum of the Archaea. Here, the authors perform a genome-wide analysis of essential genes in this organism, show that the proteinaceous S-layer is not essential, and explore potential stages of evolution of the essential gene repertoire in Archaea.

Abstract
Uranium toxicity depends on its chemical properties rather than on its radioactivity and involves its interaction with macromolecules. Here, a systematic survey of the structural features of the uranyl sites observed in protein crystal structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank is reported. Beside the two uranyl oxygens, which occupy the axial positions, uranium tends to be coordinated by five other oxygen atoms, which occupy the equatorial vertices of a pentagonal bipyramid. Even if one or more of these equatorial positions are sometime empty, they can be occupied only by oxygen atoms that belong to the carboxylate groups of Glu and Asp side-chains, usually acting as monodentate ligands, to water molecules, or to acetate anions. Although several uranium sites appear undefined or unrefined, with a single uranium atom that lacks the two uranyl oxygen atoms, this problem seems to become less frequent in recent years. However, it is clear that the crystallographic refinements of the uranyl sites are not always well restrained and a better parametrization of these restraints seems to be necessary.

Abstract
This study presents the effect of aqueous uranium speciation (U-hydroxides and U-hydroxo-carbonates) on the interaction of this radionuclide with the cells of the yeast Rhodotorula mucigilanosa BII-R8. This strain was isolated from Spanish bentonites considered as reference materials for the engineered barrier components of the future deep geological repository of radioactive waste. X-ray absorption and infrared spectroscopy showed that the aqueous uranium speciation has no effect on the uranium binding process by this yeast strain. The cells bind mobile uranium species (U-hydroxides and U-hydroxo-carbonates) from solution via a time-dependent process initiated by the adsorption of uranium species to carboxyl groups. This leads to the subsequent involvement of organic phosphate groups forming uranium complexes with a local coordination similar to that of the uranyl mineral phase meta-autunite. Scanning transmission electron microscopy with high angle annular dark field analysis showed uranium accumulations at the cell surface associated with phosphorus containing ligands. Moreover, the effect of uranium mobile species on the cell viability and metabolic activity was examined by means of flow cytometry techniques, revealing that the cell metabolism is more affected by higher concentrations of uranium than the cell viability. The results obtained in this work provide new insights on the interaction of uranium with bentonite natural yeast from genus Rhodotorula under deep geological repository relevant conditions.

Abstract
In this study, a versatile polymeric material was synthesized by grafting Calcon Carboxylic Acid (CCA), which is known as a chelating agent for some metal ions, to polyacrylamide (PAA) structure. Thus, the adsorptive properties of inert PAA polymer were significantly improved owing to this procedure. The obtained new material, CCA-g-PAA, was characterized by point zero charge (PZC), FTIR, SEM, and UV-VIS-NIR analysis. The adsorption properties of new material were investigated comprehensively and experimental variables were optimized such as pH, temperature, time, and concentration. Experimental data were evaluated by using theoretical adsorption models. The maximum adsorption capacity of material was calculated as 0.079molkg-1 by considering Langmuir equation. The constants calculated from Freundlich and DR model were found as 6.98 and 0.441, respectively. Adsorption kinetic was also explained with pseudo second order and intra particular diffusion models. Experimental studies were showed that adsorption was endothermic and occurred spontaneously. The developed material has important advantages such as reusability, cost-effective synthesis procedure, high adsorption capacity, and selectivity.

Abstract
The interactions of two extremely halophilic archaea with uranium were investigated at high ionic strength as a function of time, pH and uranium concentration. Halobacterium noricense DSM-15987 and Halobacterium sp. putatively noricense, isolated from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant repository, were used for these investigations. The kinetics of U(VI) bioassociation with both strains showed an atypical multistage behavior, meaning that after an initial phase of U(VI) sorption, an unexpected interim period of U(VI) release was observed, followed by a slow reassociation of uranium with the cells. By applying in situ attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, the involvement of phosphoryl and carboxylate groups in U(VI) complexation during the first biosorption phase was shown. Differences in cell morphology and uranium localization become visible at different stages of the bioassociation process, as shown with scanning electron microscopy in combination with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Our results demonstrate for the first time that association of uranium with the extremely halophilic archaeon is a multistage process, beginning with sorption and followed by another process, probably biomineralization.

Preservation of Archaeal Surface Layer Structure During Mineralization. Sci Rep 2016; 6:26152. [PMID: 27221593 PMCID: PMC4879539 DOI: 10.1038/srep26152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2015] [Accepted: 04/21/2016] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Proteinaceous surface layers (S-layers) are highly ordered, crystalline structures commonly found in prokaryotic cell envelopes that augment their structural stability and modify interactions with metals in the environment. While mineral formation associated with S-layers has previously been noted, the mechanisms were unconstrained. Using Sulfolobus acidocaldarius a hyperthermophilic archaeon native to metal-enriched environments and possessing a cell envelope composed only of a S-layer and a lipid cell membrane, we describe a passive process of iron phosphate nucleation and growth within the S-layer of cells and cell-free S-layer "ghosts" during incubation in a Fe-rich medium, independently of metabolic activity. This process followed five steps: (1) initial formation of mineral patches associated with S-layer; (2) patch expansion; (3) patch connection; (4) formation of a continuous mineral encrusted layer at the cell surface; (5) early stages of S-layer fossilization via growth of the extracellular mineralized layer and the mineralization of cytosolic face of the cell membrane. At more advanced stages of encrustation, encrusted outer membrane vesicles are formed, likely in an attempt to remove damaged S-layer proteins. The S-layer structure remains strikingly well preserved even upon the final step of encrustation, offering potential biosignatures to be looked for in the fossil record.
