Summary We used a combination of Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis to conduct molecular scale studies on U(VI) interaction with three recently described eco-types of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. On the basis of the information obtained by using these methods, we concluded that uranyl phosphate complexes were formed by the cells of the three eco-types studied. The uranium accumulated by A. ferrooxidans cells was located mainly within the extracellular polysaccharides, and on the cell wall. Smaller amounts were also observed in the cytoplasm.
