**Bacteria Turn Toxic Uranium Into a Surprisingly Stable Compound**
By Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf - Published on 12 July 2026
Bacteria may offer an unexpected way to immobilize uranium in contaminated water. Uranium contamination is difficult to manage because the metal can change chemical form. When uranium remains locked inside minerals, it is relatively immobile. But when environmental conditions or mining activity convert it into a soluble form, it can move through groundwater and spread [...]
