Bacteria doesn't eat uranium. But:
- cytrobacter can absorb uranium
- S. putrefaciens reduce U(VI) to U(IV)
- S. metallireducens has the same effect
- Geobacteria absorb also uranium
etc.
Inducing mutations in bacteria
No
Uranium is toxic, radioactive, can be used for weapons.
Typically 3% uranium-235, 97% uranium-238.
Some characteristics of uranium are:- uranium is a natural metal- uranium is radioactive with 3 natural isotopes- the atomic weight of uranium is 238,02891(3)- the atomic number is 92- the density of uranium is 19,1 g/cm3- the melting point of uranium is 1 132,2 0C- the boiling point of uranium i1 4 131 0C- the crystalline structure of uranium is orthorombic- uranium is paramagnetic- the thermal conductivity is 142 W/m.K- the electrical resistivity is 47,7 nanoohm.meteretc.

abundance of uranium in the earth crust; 2,5-3 ppm (mg/kg) abundance of uranium in the sea water: ca. 3 ppb (?g/kg)
To make bacteria with new abilities. Like eating oil.
