Abstract excerpt
Biological incorporation of cesium ions (Cs+) has recently attracted significant attention in terms of the possible applications for bioremediation of radiocesium and their significant roles in biogeochemical cycling. Although high concentrations of Cs+ exhibit cytotoxicity on microorganisms, there are a few reports on the promotive effects of Cs+ on microbial growth under K+-deficient conditions. However,...
