Geotalea uraniireducens
[edit]Geotalea uraniireducens (also previously known as Geobacter uraniireducens[1]) is an anaerobic, mesophilic, rod-shaped, gram negative, motile, chemolithotrophic[2] bacteria that reduces iron and uranium[3][4][2] in sediment and soil[2]. It is being studied for use in bioremediation projects due to its ability to reduce uranium and arsenic.[5][6][7][8]

History
[edit]Geotalea uraniireducens was isolated from the subsurface sediment of a previous uranium ore processing facility undergoing uranium bioremediation in 2002.[7] This occurred during a field study by Robert Anderson and his associates at the Old Rifle in situ test plot area in Rifle, Colorado.[7] Shelobolina et al. (2008) further described the strain Rf4T[4]. While Geobacter uraniireducens is the basonym, David Waite and associates reclassified it to the current preferred name, Geotalea uraniireducens in their 2020 paper.[1]
Characteristics
[edit]G. uraniireducens are gram negative bacteria that are motile rods with rounded ends and two to four long lateral flagellum, as well as pili and vesicles.[4]
Extracellular Electron Transport Strategies
[edit]The strategy of G. uraniireducens for extracellular electron transport (EET) is to facilitate iron (Fe(III)) oxide reduction via the production of a soluble electron shuttle.[11] It has been found that riboflavin mediates EET to reduce extracellular electron acceptors.[12] This is important because unlike in most Geobacter species, where conductive pili are critical for effective reduction of extracellular electron acceptors, the pili of G. uraniireducens are not conductive.[12]
Metabolic mechanisms
[edit]G. uraniireducens is an iron-reducing bacteria that uses acetate as an electron donor and reduces uranium (U(VI)).[4] In addition to Fe(III), it is also able to use Mn(IV), anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate, malate and fumarate as electron acceptors.[4] As it uses Fe(III) oxide as the electron acceptor, it can oxidize acetate, lactate, pyruvate and ethanol as electron donors.[4]
Applications
[edit]Bioremediation
[edit]G. uraniireducens have been used in bioremediation studies in situ to decontaminate groundwater containing high levels of uranium from previous activities.[5][6][7] This process can be enhanced by using acetate to stimulate increased populations.[7]
Environmental Implications
[edit]One environmental implication of interest in G. uraniireducens is its arsenic (As(V)) reducing capabilities in subsurface sediments.[8] This ability is proposed to be due to gene encoding for respiratory arsenate reductase.[8]
