Abstract excerpt
Microbial metal reduction forms the basis of alternate bioremediation strategies for reductive precipitation and immobilization of toxic metals such as the radionuclide technetium [Tc(VII)]. A rapid mutant screening technique was developed to identify Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 respiratory mutants unable to reduce Tc(VII) as anaerobic electron acceptor. The Tc(VII) reduction-deficient (Tcr) mutant screening...
