Uranium is well-known to have serious adverse effects on the ecological environment and human health. Bioremediation stands out among many remediation methods owing to its being economically feasible and environmentally friendly. This study reported a great promising strategy for eliminating uranium by Stenotrophomonas sp. CICC 23833 in the aquatic environment. The bacterium demonstrated excellent uranium adsorption capacity (qmax = 392.9 mg/g) because of the synergistic effect of surface adsorption and intracellular accumulation. Further analysis revealed that hydroxyl, carboxyl, phosphate groups and proteins of microorganisms were essential in uranium adsorption. Intracellular accumulation was closely related to cellular activity, and the efficiency of uranium processing by the permeabilized bacterial cells was significantly improved. In response to uranium stress, the bacterium was found to release multiple ions in conjunction with uranium adsorption, which facilitates the maintenance of bacterial life activities and the conversion of uranyl to precipitates. These above results indicated that Stenotrophomonas sp. Had great potential application value for the remediation of uranium.
