Microbial bioremediation plays a pivotal role in controlling the stability and mobility of radionuclides in the environment contaminated by radioactive waste. The mechanisms of enzyme-mediated reduction of problematic actinides, in principal, uranium (U) but including neptunium (Np) and plutonium (Pu), are described in this review. And, the mechanisms by which the fission products technetium (Tc), cesium (Cs), strontium (Sr), and iodine (I) are also elucidated. In this study, we summarize biological processes exploring the potential of microorganisms could be a promising and eco-friendly approach to remediate radioactive waste.
