Anthraquinone-2-sulfonate（AQS） was employed in humus substitutes to evaluate the effects and influencing factors of U（VI） reduction by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1（S. oneidensis MR-1） under anaerobic condition. The removal rate of U（VI） at 30 °C reaches 99.0% afterd 96 h with the p H value of 7.0 and AQS concentration of 1.0 mmol/L. The effective concentrations of AQS as the accelerator for U（VI） bioreduction are approximately 0.5-1.0 mmol/L. The bioreduction of U（VI） is inhibited when the concentration of AQS exceeds 2.0 mmol/L. The coexistence of ions, such as Cu2＋, Cr6＋, Mn2＋, shows a remarkable negative effect on the U（VI） reduction, and Zn2＋ shows less influence on the process compared with other tested ions. The U（VI） reduction is remarkably inhibited when the concentration of nitrate ion exceeds 1.0 mmol/L. Otherwise, no difference is found when the nitrate ion concentration is less than 0.5 mmol/L. Sulfate ion（5.0 mmol/L） slightly promotes the U（VI） reduction. Zero-valent iron（ZVI） promotes the U（VI） reduction by S. oneidensis, and the reduction rate improves with increasing the amount of ZVI in the range of 0-2.0 g/L. The XPS result indicates that uranium deposits on the cell surface are in U（VI） and U（IV） forms, and the majority of uranium in the solution is stable UO2.
