Qualitative composition of the dominating forms of microorganisms isolated from radionuclide contaminated soils has been studied. The ability to accumulate 137Cs by freshly isolated species and collection cultures that were not adapted to the presence of the radionuclide has been analyzed. It is shown that among the analyzed microorganisms the greatest ability to accumulate the radionuclide is inherent in the collection culture Bacillus megaterium UKMV-5724.
