Abstract: The properties of Pt4+-adsorption and its reduction by Bacillus megaterium D01 were studied by means of ICP, anode-stripping voltammetry, TEM, IR and XPS. The results of ICP analyses showed that the Pt4+-adsorptive efficiency of the strain D01 was as high as 94.3% under the conditions of 100 mg Pt4+ /L, 1g biomass/L, pH3.5 and at 30 ℃ for 24 h. Moreover, it was confirmed from anode stripping voltammetry that the strain D01 possessed a strong reducibility. The TEManalysis indicated that the strain D01 was able to adsorb and reduce Pt4+ to Pt0, small particles. The XPS result further supported the reduction of Pt4+ to Pt2+ , followed by the further recuction to Pt0. The IRspectrum implied that D01 biomass adsorption of Pt4+ may result in the complexation of the C=O bond to the Pt species.
