Received 7 April 2006/ Accepted 10 October 2006

A novel strain of Halomonas (Tc-202), which has the capability of removing Tc(VII) from solid- and aqueous-phase material aerobically, was isolated from the marine environment. Tc-202 removed 55% of the total 99Tc in solutions at 15°C by reducing Tc(VII) to Tc(V), but other Halomonas strains did not.
