Abstract
The paper studied the growth law of Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces uvarum, and the interaction between the uranium system and strains in the different concentrations of uranium. The results showed that the B. subtilis almost appeared linear growth when uranium concentration was under the 450 mg/L, and the growth curve of the S.uvarum primarily met the S-growth curve model while uranium concentration was under the 600 mg/L. When the uranium concentration reaching 600 mg/L, the B. subtilis stopped growing, but the S. uvarum grown normally and had no significant difference compared with the control. The adsorption capacity of two strains increased with increasing uranium concentration under the 600 mg/L. While uranium concentration was 450 mg/L, the adsorption rate of two strains reached the maximum value (88.50%). The maximum adsorption capacity of B. subtilis and S. uvarum were 382.86 mgU/g and 113.04 mgU/g, respectively. In the real application, firstly, S. uvarum could be used to decrease the high concentration of uranium, and then B. subtilis was taken for further adsorption to achieve optimal effect of adsorption.
