ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 304:119220. [PMID: 35358633 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.119220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Revised: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The application of exogenous biodegradation strains in pesticide-polluted soils encounters the challenges of migration and persistence of inoculants. In this study, the degradation characteristics, vertical migration capacity, and microbial ecological risk assessment of an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-tagged 2-Methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA)-degrading strain Cupriavidus gilardii T1 (EGFP) were investigated in the laboratory and field soils. The optimum remediation conditions for T1 (EGFP) was characterized in soils. Meanwhile, leaching experiments showed that T1 (EGFP) migrated vertically downwards in soil and contribute to the degradation of MCPA at different depths. After inoculation with T1 (EGFP), a high expression levels of EGFP gene was observed at 28 d in the laboratory soil and at 45 d in the field soil. The degradation rates of MCPA were ≥ 60% in the laboratory soil and ≥ 48% in the field soil, indicating that T1 (EGFP) can efficiently and continuously remove MCPA in both laboratory and field conditions. In addition, the inoculation of T1 (EGFP) not only showed no significant impact on the soil microbial community structure but also can alleviate the negative effects induced by MCPA to some extent. Overall, our findings suggested that T1 (EGFP) strain is an ecologically safe resource for the in situ bioremediation of MCPA-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Agricultural practices in modern society have a detrimental impact on the health of the ecosystem, environment, and consumers. The significantly high usage rate of chemicals causes serious harm, and the sector demands the development of innovative materials that can foster improved food production and lessen ecological impacts. The majority of layered double hydroxides (LDH) are synthetic. At the same time, some of them occur in the form of natural minerals (hydrotalcite), which have recently emerged as favorable materials and provided advanced and ingenious frontiers in various fields of agriculture through practical application possibilities that can replace conventional agricultural systems. LDH can exchange anions intercalated between the layers in the interlayer structure, and there is evidence that atmospheric carbon dioxide and moisture can completely break down LDH over time. Due to certain unique properties such as tunable structure, specific intercalation chemistry, pH-dependent stability, as well as retention of the guest molecules within interlayers and their subsequent controlled release, LDHs are increasingly investigated as materials to enhance yield, quality of crops, and soil in recent times. This review aims to present the current research progress in the design and development of LDH-based materials as nanoscale agrochemicals to illustrate its relevance in making agro-practices more sustainable and efficient. Specific emphasis is given to the functionality of these materials as effective materials for the slow release of fertilizers and plant growth factors as well as adsorption of toxic agrochemical residues and contaminants. Relevant research efforts have been briefly reviewed, and the potential of LDH as new generation green materials to provide solutions to agricultural problems for improving food productivity and security has been summarized.

Abstract
Trichlorfon (TCF) is a broad-spectrum phosphorus (P)-containing pesticide, yet its effects on soil P fraction transformation and bacterial communities during the TCF degradation in soils is unknown. In this study, we investigated soil TCF degradation behavior at different contents of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg, and analyzed residual TCF contents and metabolites by gas chromatography mass spectrometry after 216-h incubation. Our results suggested that TCF was gradually degraded in soils and was be initially hydrolyzed to dichlorvos via P-C bond cleavage and then other P-containing metabolites. By analyzing different P fractions and soil microbial community composition, we found significant increases of soil available phosphorus contents from 2.76 mg/kg (control) to 3.23 mg/kg (TCF-50), 5.12 mg/kg (TCF-100) and 5.72 mg/kg (TCF-200), respectively. Inorganic CaCl2-P was easily and instantly transformed to primary mineral inorganic P (Pi) forms of HCl-P and citrate-P, while the proportion of enzyme-P (a labile organic P) fluctuated throughout TCF degradation process. Soil available P contents and Pi fractions were significantly correlated with the relative abundance of Actinobacteria. These results highlighted that Actinobacteria is the dominant soil species utilizing TCF as P sources to increase its community richness, and subsequently affect the transformation of P fractions to regulate soil P cycle. Our study gives new understanding on the microorganisms can involve soil P transformation during organophosphorus pesticides degradation in soils, highlighting the importance of bacteria in P transformation and pesticides soil decontamination.

Abstract
Nowadays, the accumulation of toxic heavy metals in soil and water streams is considered a serious environmental problem that causes various harmful effects on plants and animals. Phytoremediation is an effective, green, and economical bioremediation approach by which the harmful heavy metals in the contaminated ecosystem can be detoxified and accumulated in the plant. Hyperaccumulators exude molecules called transporters that carry and translocate the heavy metals present in the soil to different plant parts. The hyperaccumulator plant genes can confine higher concentrations of toxic heavy metals in their tissues. The efficiency of phytoremediation relies on various parameters such as soil properties (pH and soil type), organic matters in soil, heavy metal type, nature of rhizosphere, characteristics of rhizosphere microflora, etc. The present review comprehensively discusses the toxicity effect of heavy metals on the environment and different phytoremediation mechanisms for the transport and accumulation of heavy metals from polluted soil. This review gave comprehensive insights into plants tolerance for the higher heavy metal concentration their responses for heavy metal accumulation and the different mechanisms involved for heavy metal tolerance. The current status and the characteristic features that need to be improved in the phytoremediation process are also reviewed in detail.

Abstract
The pollution of water resources by pesticides poses serious problems for public health and the environment. In this study, Actinobacteria strains were isolated from three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and were screened for their ability to degrade 17 pesticide compounds. Preliminary screening of 13 of the isolates of Actinobacteria allowed the selection of 12 strains with potential for the degradation of nine different pesticides as sole carbon source, including aliette, for which there are no previous reports of biodegradation. Evaluation of the bacterial growth and degradation kinetics of the pesticides 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and thiamethoxam (tiam) by selected Actinobacteria strains was performed in liquid media. Strains Streptomyces sp. ML and Streptomyces sp. OV were able to degrade 45% of 2,4-DCP (50 mg/l) as the sole carbon source in 30 days and 84% of thiamethoxam (35 mg/l) in the presence of 10 mM of glucose in 18 days. The biodegradation of thiamethoxam by Actinobacteria strains was reported for the first time in this study. These strains are promising for use in bioremediation of ecosystems polluted by this type of pesticides.

Abstract
Viruses significantly influence local and global biogeochemical cycles and help bacteria to survive in different environments by encoding various auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) associated with energy acquisition, stress tolerance and degradation of xenobiotics. Here we studied whether bacterial (dsDNA) virus encoded AMGs are enriched in organochlorine pesticide (OCP) contaminated soil in China and if viral AMGs include genes linked to OCP biodegradation. Using metagenomics, we found that OCP-contaminated soils displayed a lower bacterial, but higher diversity of viruses that harbored a higher relative abundance of AMGs linked to pesticide degradation and metabolism. Furthermore, the diversity and relative abundance of AMGs significantly increased along with the severity of pesticide contamination, and several biodegradation genes were identified bioinformatically in viral metagenomes. Functional assays were conducted to experimentally demonstrate that virus-encoded L-2-haloacid dehalogenase gene (L-DEX) is responsible for the degradation of L-2-haloacid pesticide precursors, improving bacterial growth at sub-inhibitory pesticide concentrations. Taken together, these results demonstrate that virus-encoded AMGs are linked to bacterial metabolism and biodegradation, being more abundant and diverse in soils contaminated with pesticides. Moreover, our findings highlight the importance of virus-encoded accessory genes for bacterial ecology in stressful environments, providing a novel avenue for using viruses in the bioremediation of contaminated soils.

Abstract
The demand for innovative waste treatment techniques has arisen because of the establishment and operation of rigorous waste discharge guidelines into the environment. Due to the rapid increase in the human population, wastewater treatment is a procedure of increasing significance. As a result, wastewater treatment systems are intended to sustain high activities and densities of such microorganisms which meet the different purification requirements. The waste produced by the pharmaceutical industry, if not adequately treated, has harmful repercussions for the environment as well as public health. Bioremediation is an innovative and optimistic technology that can be used to remove and reduce heavy metals from polluted water and contaminated soil. Because of cost-effectiveness and environmental compatibility, bioremediation using microorganisms has an excellent potential for future development. A diverse range of microorganisms, including algae, fungi, yeasts, and bacteria, can function as biologically active methylators, capable of modifying toxic species. Microorganisms play a crucial role in heavy metal bioremediation. Nanotechnology may minimize industry expenses by producing environmentally friendly nanomaterials to alleviate these contaminants. The use of microorganisms in nanoparticle synthesis gives green biotechnology a positive impetus to cost reduction and sustainable production as a developing nanotechnology sector.

Abstract
Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides L.) has been used to remediate cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soil, while there have been few studies on the influence of Cd exposure on the rhizospheric microbial community and transcriptional expression of C. zizanioides. In this study, we investigated the response of the rhizospheric microbial community and transcriptional expression of C. zizanioides in 20 mg/kg Cd-contaminated soil. The results showed that Cd levels in the roots and shoots of C. zizanioides reached 250.80 and 73.40 mg/kg, respectively. The Cd exposure changed the rhizospheric bacterial community, resulting in the significant enrichment of Sphingomonas, Lysobacter, and Gemmatimonadetes in Cd-contaminated soil. In addition, 880 and 3,419 differentially expressed genes were identified in the plant roots and shoots, respectively, in response to Cd stress. Among these, the overexpressed genes associated with redox homeostasis, glutathione (GSH) metabolism, cell wall biosynthesis, and transmembrane transport pathways were found to participate in Cd detoxification in C. zizanioides. These findings could be useful for understanding the selective variation of the rhizospheric microbial community and the detoxification mechanisms of C. zizanioides in Cd phytoremediation.

Abstract
The environmental conditions of caves shape microbiota. Within caves' microbial communities, actinomycetes are among the most abundant bacteria. Cave actinomycetes have gained increasing attention during the last decades due to novel bioactive compounds with antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer activities. However, their potential role in soil environments is still unknown. This review summarises the literature dealing with actinomycetes from caves, underlining for the first time their potential roles in soil environments. We provide an overview of their diversity and biotechnological properties, underling their potential role in soil environments applications. The contribution of caves' actinomycetes in soil fertility and bioremediation and crops biostimulation and biocontrol are discussed. The survey on the literature show that several actinomycetes genera are present in cave ecosystems, mainly Streptomyces, Micromonospora, and Nocardiopsis. Among caves' actinomycetes, Streptomyces is the most studied genus due to its ubiquity, survival capabilities, and metabolic versatility. Despite actinomycetes' outstanding capabilities and versatility, we still have inadequate information regarding cave actinomycetes distribution, population dynamics, biogeochemical processes, and metabolisms. Research on cave actinomycetes needs to be encouraged, especially concerning environmental soil applications to improve soil fertility and health and to antagonise phytopathogens.

Abstract
Livestock manure is a main source of heavy metals, antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in agricultural soils. The co-existence of heavy metals and ARGs needs to be systematically studied, since manure application is greatly encouraged. In this study, we examined soils for alterations in antibiotic resistance where doxycycline, Cu, and Zn were added equivalent to those found in typical pig manure applications. The results indicated that high levels of Cu inhibited soil respiration and urease for the first 10 days. Metagenomic analysis demonstrated that Cu and Zn additions caused profound alterations in bacterial community, metal resistance genes (MRGs) and mobile genetic elements. Among the differential ARGs, efflux pump genes took a significantly high ratio compared with control for the first 5 days, emphasizing their important roles in the profile of antibiotic resistance. Moreover, the number of differential MRGs was < 30 for doxycycline treatment, but 66-87 for Cu and Zn treatments. The number of differential integrative and conjugative elements was 3 for doxycycline treatment, and 6-13 for Cu and Zn treatments. Overall, high Cu and Zn levels caused a greater influence than did doxycycline on bacterial communities and transfer of antibiotic resistance in soil.

Endophytic fungi play incredible roles in the ecosystem including abiotic and biotic stress tolerance, eco-adaptation, enhancing growth and development, and maintaining the health of their host. In recent times, endophytic fungi have drawn a special focus owing to their indispensable diversity, unique distribution, and unparalleled metabolic pathways. The endophytic fungal communities belong to three phyla, namely Mucoromycota, Basidiomycota, and Ascomycota with seven predominant classes Agaricomycetes, Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Mortierellomycotina, Mucoromycotina, Saccharomycetes, and Sordariomycetes. In a review of a huge number of research finding, it was found that endophytic fungal communities of genera Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Fusarium, Gaeumannomyces, Metarhizium, Microsphaeropsis, Paecilomyces, Penicillium, Piriformospora, Talaromyces, Trichoderma, Verticillium, and Xylaria have been sorted out and well characterized for diverse biotechnological applications for future development. Furthermore, these communities are remarkable source of novel bioactive compounds with amazing biological activity for use in agriculture, food, and pharmaceutical industry. Endophytes are endowed with a broad range of structurally unique bioactive natural products, including alkaloids, benzopyranones, chinones, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and quinines. Subsequently, there is still an excellent opportunity to explore novel compounds from endophytic fungi among numerous plants inhabiting different niches. Furthermore, high-throughput sequencing could be a tool to study interaction between plants and endophytic fungi which may provide further opportunities to reveal unknown functions of endophytic fungal communities. The present review deals with the biodiversity of endophytic fungal communities and their biotechnological implications for agro-environmental sustainability.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:14677-14694. [PMID: 34617225 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-16662-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/17/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Applying the principles of healthy products through agriculture practices has become an important issue due to significant environmental impacts of agrochemicals application. The agrochemicals have been recognized as an essential component of modern agriculture, but they are also an important source of environmental pollution that threatens the human's health and are main sources of carbon emissions. Pesticides and fertilizers application are important in the process of Iran's food production. In Iran, intensifying the agricultural production has led to overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This work is the first effort to quantify and compare the decoupling index pollution from agricultural sector using Tapio decoupling indicator and predict climate change impacts on this index by using Bayesian network across the whole country of Iran. For this purpose, required annual data of predictor variables for the period of 2008 to 2018 was used to calculate the decoupling index. For projecting climate change impacts on this index by using Bayesian network, monthly mean values of climatic variables were used. While Iranian farmers are criticized for pesticide overuse, these study findings showed that during the period of 2008-2018, decoupling index for pesticides (agricultural pollution by using pesticide) and decoupling index for fertilizer (agricultural pollution by using fertilizer) in the selected provinces fluctuate between RD-SD, SD-SD, SD-SD, and RD-SD. Therefore, the decoupling states show that in most study years, there is a strong decoupling of agricultural growth in selected provinces. This means that in the selected provinces, pollutant emissions of chemical fertilizer and pesticides use for agricultural productions have decreased and it has been well controlled. Therefore, by expansion of agricultural sector, the situation of agricultural pollution in these provinces in most years has not been intensified. Control of agricultural pollution in these provinces has shown a positive and significant impact on public health. In selected provinces, the cleaner agricultural products and application of organic fertilizers have been increased. This study results also showed that the climate change will accelerate increment of pests population and thus pesticides application in different climatic regions.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution was the main risk during livestock manures composting, in which microorganisms played a vital role. However, response strategies of microbial community to heavy metals stress (HMS) remained largely unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to reveal the ecological adaptation and counter-effect of bacterial community under HMS during chicken manures composting, and evaluating environmental implications of HMS on composting. The degradation of organic matters (more than 6.4%) and carbohydrate (more than 19.8%) were enhanced under intense HMS, suggesting that microorganisms could quickly adapt to the HMS to ensure smooth composting. Meanwhile, HMS increased keystone nodes and strengthened significant positive correlation relationships between genera (p < 0.05), indicating that bacteria resisted HMS through cooperating during composting. In addition, different bacterial groups performed various functions to cope with HMS. Specific bacterial groups responded to HMS, and certain groups regulated bacterial networks. Therefore, bacterial community had the extraordinary potential to deal with HMS and guarantee chicken manures composting even in the presence of high concentrations of heavy metals.

A field study reveals links between hyperaccumulating Sedum plants-associated bacterial communities and Cd/Zn uptake and translocation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 805:150400. [PMID: 34818769 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 09/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Hyperaccumulating ecotypes of Sedum plants are promising Cd/Zn phytoextractors, with potential for leveraging its rhizospheric or endophytic microbiomes to improve phytoremediation efficiency. However, research of bacteria associated with Sedum at field scale is still lacking. Here, we presented a detailed investigation of the bacterial microbiome of hyperaccumulating Sedum ecotypes (S. alfredii and S. plumbizincicola) and a non-hyperaccumulating S. alfredii ecotype, which grow at different soil environments. Moreover, we evaluated the heavy metal uptake and translocation potential of Sedum plants at different locations. The results showed that both HE ecotypes, contrary to the NHE, were efficient for phytoremediation in mine areas and farmlands. For NHE plants, rhizosphere co-occurrence networks were more complex than the networks of other compartments, while networks of HE plants were more complex in bulk soil and roots. The proportion of positive correlations within co-occurrence networks was higher for the HE plants, suggesting a greater potential for mutualistic interactions. Plant compartment and location predominantly shaped the microbiome assembly, and Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dominated the bacterial communities of Sedum plants. Keystone taxa related to Zn hyperaccumulation are similar to those related to Cd hyperaccumulation, and nine bacterial genera had significantly positive correlation with Cd/Zn hyperaccumulation. Taxa, linked to phytoremediation in both mine and farmland (i.e. Actinospica and Streptomyces from Actinobacteria), could be targets for further investigation of their ability to promote metal phytoremediation of Sedum species.

Abstract
Events of soil contamination by heavy metals are mostly related to human activities that release these metals into the environment as emissions or effluents. Among the industrial activities related to heavy metal pollution, cement production plants are considered one of the most common sources. In this work we applied the High-throughput sequencing approach called 16 S rDNA metabarcoding to perform the taxonomic characterization of the prokaryotic communities of the soil surrounding three cement plants as well as two areas outside the influence of the cement plants that represented agricultural production environments free of heavy metal contamination (control areas). We applied the environmental genomics approaches known as "structural community metrics" (α- and β-diversity metrics) and "functional community metrics" (PICRUSt2 approach) to verify whether or not the effects of heavy metal contamination in the study area generated impacts on soil bacterial communities. We found that the impact related to the elevation of heavy metal concentration due to the operation of cement plants in the surrounding soil can be considered smooth according to globally recognized indices such as Igeo. However, we identified that both the taxonomic and functional structures of the communities surrounding cement plants were different from those found in the control areas. We consider that our findings contribute significantly to the general understanding of the effects of heavy metals on the soil ecosystem by showing that light contamination can disturb the dynamics of ecosystem services provided by soil, specifically those associated with microbial metabolism.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, various eco-friendly approaches utilizing microbial species to clean up contaminated environments have surfaced. In this aspect, actinobacteria have demonstrated their potential in contaminant degradation. The members of actinobacteria phylum exhibits a cosmopolitan distribution, which means that they can be found widely in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Actinobacteria play important ecological roles in the environment, such as degrading complex polymers, recycling compounds, and producing bioactive molecules. Hence, using actinobacteria to clean up contaminants is an attractive method in the field of biotechnology. This can be achieved through the green technology of bioaugmentation, whereby the degradative capacity of contaminated areas can be greatly improved through the introduction of specific microorganisms. This review describes actinobacteria as an eco-friendly and a promising technology for the bioaugmentation of contaminants, with focus on pesticides and heavy metals.

Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and earthworms have potential uses in the bioremediation of contaminated soils. In recent years, heavy metal-contaminated sites have been remediated by adding plants and AMF or earthworms to the soil. However, there are few studies on remediation using combinations of plants, animals, and microbes, especially for the remediation of Cu-contaminated soil. The present study investigated the separate and combined effects of AMF and earthworms on Cu-contaminated soil in which Tagetes patula L. was grown. The results show that the combined application of AMF and earthworms markedly increased the biomass of plant shoots and roots by more than 100%. It also increased Cu extraction by T. patula by 270%. The combined treatment was effective in increasing the CEC, contents of OM, and available Cu, P and K, but reduced the soil pH. Furthermore, the combined treatment significantly increased the abundance and diversity of the soil microbial community. In particular, the abundances of the bacteria Bacteroides, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria were increased, with the genera Flavobacterium, Pedobacter, Algoriphagus, Gaetbulibacter, Pseudomonas, Luteimonas, and Arthrobacter dominating. Meanwhile, the abundance of the fungus Zygomycota was increased, with Mortierella dominating. Moreover, inoculation with earthworms greatly improved the structure of the soil microbial community.

Abstract
Introduction. Coal mining causes a radical transformation of the soil cover. Research is required into modern methods and complementary technologies for monitoring technogenic landscapes and their remediation. Our study aimed to assess soil and rhizosphere microorganisms and their potential uses for the remediation of technogenic soils in Russian coal regions.
Study objects and methods. We reviewed scientific articles published over the past five years, as well as those cited in Scopus and Web of Science.
Results and discussion. Areas lying in the vicinity of coal mines and coal transportation lines are exposed to heavy metal contamination. We studied the application of soil remediation technologies that use sorbents from environmentally friendly natural materials as immobilizers of toxic elements and compounds. Mycorrhizal symbionts are used for soil decontamination, such as arbuscular mycorrhiza with characteristic morphological structures in root cortex cells and some mycotallia in the form of arbuscules or vesicles. Highly important are Gram-negative proteobacteria (Agrobacterium, Azospirillum, Azotobacter, Burkholderia, Bradyrizobium, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Rizobium), Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus, Brevibacillus, Paenibacillus), and Grampositive actinomycetes (Rhodococcus, Streptomyces, Arhtrobacter). They produce phytohormones, vitamins, and bioactive substances, stimulating plant growth. Also, they reduce the phytopathogenicity of dangerous diseases and harmfulness of insects. Finally, they increase the soil’s tolerance to salinity, drought, and oxidative stress. Mycorrhizal chains enable the transport and exchange of various substances, including mineral forms of nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic forms of C3 and C4 plants. Microorganisms contribute to the removal of toxic elements by absorbing, precipitating or accumulating them both inside the cells and in the extracellular space.
Conclusion. Our review of scientific literature identified the sources of pollution of natural, agrogenic, and technogenic landscapes. We revealed the effects of toxic pollutants on the state and functioning of living systems: plants, animals, and microorganisms. Finally, we gave examples of modern methods used to remediate degraded landscapes and reclaim disturbed lands, including the latest technologies based on the integration of plants and microorganisms.

Abstract
The extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) have shown free radical scavenging and antitumor activity against both breast and colon cell lines. In this regard, actinobacteria have become an increasingly popular sources of EPS. Therefore, in this study four Streptomyces strains isolated from contaminated soil (M7, A5, A14 and MC1) were evaluated for determining its biofilm-forming capacity including under pesticide stress. In addition, chemical composition of EPS and its cytotoxic effects over 4T1 breast cancer cell and Caco-2 human tumor colon cells were evaluated. The results demonstrated that Streptomyces sp. A5 had the highest capability to develop biofilm more than other strains tested, even under pesticide stress. Moreover, this strain produced EPS with a total protein/total polysaccharide rate of 1.59 ± 0.05. On the other hand, cytotoxicity assays of EPS showed that Streptomyces sp. A5 display a higher toxic effect against 4T1 Breast cancer cells (96.2 ± 13.5 %), Caco-2 (73.9 ± 6.4 %) and low toxicity (29.9 % ± 9.1 %) against non-transformed intestinal cells (IEC-18). Data do not show cytotoxic effect relationship with biofilm-forming capabilities of strains, nor the chemical composition of EPS matrix. The gene that codes for polysaccharide deacetylase, parB-like and transRDD proteins, were identified. These results contribute to the knowledge about the variability of chemical composition and potential cytotoxic properties of EPS produced by Streptomyces biofilms. It proposes interesting future challenges for linking Streptomyces-based pesticide remediation technology with the development of new antitumor drugs.

Abstract
Fluorine-based agrochemicals have been benchmarked as the golden standard in pesticide development, prompting their widespread use in agriculture. As a result, fluorinated pesticides can now be found in the environment, entailing serious ecological implications due to their harmfulness and persistence. Microbial degradation might be an option to mitigate these impacts, though environmental microorganisms are not expected to easily cope with these fluoroaromatics due to their recalcitrance. Here, we provide an outlook on the microbial metabolism of fluorinated pesticides by analyzing the degradation pathways and biochemical processes involved, while also highlighting the central role of enzymatic defluorination in their productive metabolism. Finally, the potential contribution of these microbial processes for the dissipation of fluorinated pesticides from the environment is also discussed.

Abstract
The accumulation of sulfonamides in the soil environment possessed the potential to change soil microbial community and function. Metabolomics is capable of providing insights into the carbon metabolic pool and molecular mechanisms associated with external stressors. Here we evaluated alternations in soil bacterial community and soil metabolites profiles under sulfadiazine (SDZ) exposure and proposed a potential mechanism that SDZ accumulation in soil affected soil organic matter (SOM) cycling. Sequencing analysis showed that the relative abundance of bacterial species associated with carbon cycling significantly decreased under high concentrations of SDZ exposure. Untargeted metabolomics analysis showed that 78 metabolites were significantly changed with the presence of SDZ in soil. The combination of functional predictions and pathway analysis both demonstrated that high concentrations of SDZ exposure could cause disturbance in anabolism and catabolism. Moreover, the noticeable decline in the relative content of carbohydrates under high concentrations of SDZ exposure might weaken physical separation and provide more chances for microbes to degrade SOM. The above results provided evidence that SDZ accumulation in soil held the potential to disturb SOM cycling. These findings spread our understanding about the environmental risk of antibiotic in the soil environment beyond the dissemination of antibiotic resistance.

Enhanced proteins and amino acids production based on ammonia nitrogen assimilation and sludge increment by the integration of bioadsorption with anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (AAO) process.

[PMID: 33962293 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.130721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Poor effect of contaminants removal efficiency and low organic matter content of activated sludge are common in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in China due to the low-strength wastewater. An anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (AAO) and an adsorption/AAO (A/AAO) combined system were established simultaneously to conduct a comparative study for realizing the conversion of carbon source in influent and the enrichment and recovery of proteins and amino acids through the assimilation of ammonia nitrogen. The experimental results showed that 63.5% of the organic matter in influent was adsorbed and flocculated in adsorption process, and the removal rates of chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen and total phosphorus in A/AAO process were 88.7%, 77.1%, and 93.0% respectively, which were remarkably better than those in AAO process owing to the addition of improved carbon source. Ammonia assimilation rate of A/AAO process was 26.7% higher than that of AAO process, which implied that the ammonia used to synthesize sludge protein was prominently increased. Furthermore, intracellular proteins and amino acids in A/AAO process were 20% higher than those of AAO process, and the quality was equivalent with fish meal or soybean meal as feed. In addition, the microbial community analysis based on 16S rDNA was conducted. Dechloromonas, Zoogloea, Nitrospira, and Flavobacterium were the main genera, and played important roles in nutrient removal and ammonia nitrogen assimilation. The integration of adsorption process was significant to low-strength wastewater treatment and the improvement of excess sludge quality, which is a prospective inspiration for the resource recovery-based wastewater treatment process.

Impacts of PBDE-47 exposure before, during and after pregnancy on the maternal gut microbiome and its association with host metabolism. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 222:112530.

Abstract
Maternal gut microbiota play an important role in the modulation of offspring disease susceptibility and gut microbiota dysbiosis has been proposed as a mechanism through which toxic environmental chemicals exert their adverse impacts on health. The brominated flame retardants polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are developmental toxicants and induce dysbiotic gut microbiota in offspring. Yet, whether and how PBDEs impact the maternal gut microbiota remain unclear. Here, we sought to investigate the effect of 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE-47) exposure from preconception through lactation cessation on maternal gut microbiota and its link to host serum metabolic consequences. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were daily exposed to 10 mg/kg PBDE-47 via oral gavage from ten days before conception until offspring were weaned on postnatal day 21, then maternal fecal and blood samples were collected for microbiome and metabolome analyses by using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, respectively. Maternal exposure to PBDE-47 showed a distinct profile in gut microbiota compared to control dams, as evidenced by increased Actinobacteria phylum and genera Blautia, Gemella and Phascolarctobacterium, and decreased genera AF12 and Oscillospira. Additionally, global metabolomics analysis identified 26 differential serum metabolites to distinguish PBDE-47 from controls, which were mainly involved in amino acid, lipid, carbohydrate and energy metabolism, further confirmed by pathway analysis. Importantly, the differential serum metabolites are closely correlated with the disturbed gut microbiota in response to PBDE-47. Collectively, our results suggest that maternal gut microbial dysbiosis may serve as a potential mechanism underlying PBDE-47-elicited health hazards to mothers or even offspring.

Abstract
Phytoremediation techniques have been proposed as ecological methods to clean up contaminated sites. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of the Streptomyces sp. Waksman & Henrici and Zea mays L. plant system on the dissipation of Cr(VI) and/or lindane from a co-contaminated soil, being 2 mg kg-1 of lindane and 150 mg kg-1 of chromium used. Lindane dissipation was improved in the presence of plant-microorganism association; however, Cr(VI) removal was higher when plants or the microorganism were separately. In co-contaminated systems, chromium content in plant tissues was lower than metal content in plants grown only with Cr(VI), suggesting that lindane could interfere with metal accumulation in the plant. The high malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration detected in non-inoculated plants grown with chromium could be consequence of high metal concentration in plant tissues. Interestingly, plants inoculated with Streptomyces sp. Z38 growing with Cr(VI) showed decrease in MDA concentration, indicating that the bacterium could activate defense mechanisms in the plant. Also, inoculated plants showed the highest value of superoxide dismutase activity. Lettuce plants used as bioindicators grew better in biologically treated soils compared with lettuce grown on non-treated soil. The results presented in this work provide the basis that will allow the optimization of future trials on a larger scale.

Abstract
A restoration strategy was developed for the treatment of two artificial liquid systems (Minimal Medium, MM, and Water Carbon Nitrogen, WCN) contaminated with Cr(VI), lindane (γ-HCH), phenanthrene (Phe), and reactive black 5 (RB5), through the use of an actinobacteria consortium, coupled with a physicochemical treatment using a column filled with nano-scale zero valent iron particles immobilized on dried Macrocystis pyrifera algae biomass. The Sequential Treatment A (STA: physicochemical followed by biological method) removed the three organic compounds with different effectiveness; however, it was very ineffective for Cr(VI) removal. The Sequential Treatment B (STB: biological followed by the physicochemical method) removed the four compounds with variable efficiencies. The removal of γ-HCH, Phe, and RB5 in both effluents did not present significant differences, regardless of the sequential treatment used. The highest removal of Cr(VI) and total Cr was observed in MM and WCN, respectively. Ecotoxicity tests (L. sativa) of the effluents treated with both methodological couplings demonstrated that the toxicity of WCN only decreased at the end of STA, while that of MM decreased at all stages of both sequential treatments. Therefore, MM would be more appropriate to perform both treatments.

Abstract
Rare studies investigated influence of neonicotinoid insecticides on the whole soil biota including non-target invertebrates and microorganisms. And less is known about the consequent intervention on soil C processes. This study aimed to decipher Collembola-fungi-bacteria interactive effects on pathways of maize C translocation, combining isotopic tracer analysis of relevant compartments with high-throughput sequencing for bacterial and fungal genetic profiles. Dinotefuran was applied at 0 or 100 μg kg-1 (a simulating residual dosage) to microcosms containing soils, Collembola and 13C labelled maize. Dinotefuran drastically reduced the density and maize-derived biomass C of Collembola, while intensifying antagonistic associations between soil organisms, with flourishing growth of Ascomycota and Actinobacteria, e.g., Streptomyces. This led to higher soil organic C (SOC) mineralization (elevated by 9.8-10.5%) across soils, attributing to the shift in microbial taxonomic and functional guild, e.g., with the increased abundance of genes aligned to cytochrome P450. Maize decomposition was controlled by Collembola that primarily fed on maize, via grazing behavior that facilitated labile maize C preferred decomposers, e.g., Xanthomonadaceae. These findings elucidate the influence of minute dinotefuran on intra-linkages between biomes (Collembola, fungi and bacteria), and highlight such legacy effects on maize and SOC mineralization.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the bioremediation efficiency and bacterial regulation mechanism of biochar-immobilized bacterium (BM) in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated saline soil by conducting pot experiments. In BM treatment, PAH-degrading strain Sphingomonas sp. PJ2 was inoculated into biochar produced at 400 °C and 600 °C using the pine needles (BM400 and BM600). The removal rates of PAHs, soil physicochemical properties, abundance of PAH-ring hydroxylating dioxygenase (PAH-RHD), and bacterial community composition were determined. After 60 days of bioremediation, BM treatment significantly (P < 0.05) increased the removal rate of PAHs compared with biochar and PJ2 alone (15.94% and 37.3%, respectively). BM treatment clearly improved the physicochemical properties of saline soil. Moreover, the amount of Gram-positive PAH degraders increased in BM-treated soils compared with other treatments, and their gene abundance had a strong positive correlation with the removal rates of PAHs in soils (r = 0.896; P < 0.01). Furthermore, BM treatment increased the abundance of Sphingomonas genus, indicating that the strain PJ2 could survive and colonize in PAH-contaminated saline soil under the protection of biochar. This study provided an effective and green approach for the remediation and improvement of the PAH-contaminated saline soil.

Abstract
Lindane, an organochlorine pesticide, causes detrimental impacts on the environment and human health owing to its high toxicity, low degradation, and bioaccumulation. Its toxic nature can be overcome by biological and eco-friendly approaches involving its degradation and detoxification. The biodegradation of lindane was assessed using actinobacterial species Thermobifida cellulosilytica TB100 (T. cellulosilytica), Thermobifida halotolerans DSM 44931 (T. halotolerans) and Streptomyces coelicolor A3 (S. coelicolor). The degradation conditions of Lindane such as pH, temperature, inoculum volume, glucose concentration and number of days were optimized under broth conditions. Lindane degradation at different concentrations was studied in soil using reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography over a 30 day period. A bioassay test was performed on seeds of Lactuca sativa (Lettuce) to assess the success of bioremediated soil. Maximum lindane degradation in soil was observed using T. cellulosilytica sp. The degradation trend for different concentrations of lindane using T. halotolerans in sterilized soil was 55 mg kg-1 (82%) ˃ 155 mg kg-1 (75%) ˃ 255 mg kg-1 (70%) after an incubation period of 30 days. Lindane degradation in soil followed the first order reaction kinetics. Phytotoxicity test on seeds of Lactuca sativa showed considerably good vigor index values for the bioremediated sterilized and non-sterilized soil by T. cellulosilytica, T. halotolerans and S. coelicolor in comparison to the contaminated soil without bacteria. This confirms that these actinobacterial species can be implemented in bioaugmentation of contaminated sites to efficiently remediate high lindane concentrations.

Abstract
Carbamate compounds are commonly applied in agricultural sectors as alternative options to the recalcitrant organochlorine pesticides due to their easier breakdown and less persistent nature. However, the large-scale use of carbamates also leads to toxic environmental residues, causing severe toxicity in various living systems. The toxic effects of carbamates are due to their inhibitor activity against the acetylchlolinesterase enzyme. This enzyme is crucial for neurotransmission signaling in living beings. Hence, from the environmental point of view, the elimination of carbamates is a worldwide concern and priority. Microbial technology can be deliberated as a potential tool that can work efficiently and as an ecofriendly option for the dissipation of carbamate insecticides from contaminated environments by improving biodegradation processes via metabolic activities of microorganisms. A variety of bacterial and fungal species have been isolated and characterized and are capable of degrading a broad range of carbamates in soil and water environments. In addition, microbial carbamate hydrolase genes (mcd, cehA, cahA, cfdJ, and mcbA) were strongly implicated in the evolution of new metabolic functions and carbamate hydrolase enzymes. However, the accurate localization and appropriate functions of carbamate hydrolase enzymes/genes are very limited. To explore the information on the degradation routes of carbamates and promote the application of biodegradation, a study of molecular techniques is required to unlock insights regarding the degradation specific genes and enzymes. Hence, this review discusses the deep understanding of carbamate degradation mechanisms with microbial strains, metabolic pathways, molecular mechanisms, and their genetic basis in degradation.

Abstract
Fluorine is an environmental toxicant and exposure of fluorine could induce various health disorders. Gut microbiota has been known to be involved in maintaining animal or human health. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between fluorine exposure and gut microbiota in common carp. Gut microbiota composition was detected by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Intestinal structural integrity was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and tight junction protection detection. The results showed that exposure of carp to fluorine led to the injury of intestinal tissues. And compared to the control group, the expression of tight junction protein ZO-1 and occludin was decreased. Meanwhile, the gut microbial diversity and composition were changed by fluorine exposure. At the phylum level, the abundance of Fusobacteria and Firmicutes increased significantly, and the abundance of Actinobacteria decreased markedly after treatment of fluorine. At the genus level, interestingly, we found the abundance of Plesiomonas, an important pathogenic bacteria, increased significantly by the treatment of fluorine. And the abundance of Akkermansia, a critical probiotics, was markedly inhibited by the treatment of fluorine. In conclusion, the results suggested fluorine exposure changed the gut microbiome composition and led to the damage of intestinal structural integrity.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 200:111358.

Abstract
In Egypt, using agricultural drainage water is a serious challenge for fish farming, due to water scaristy. Metals could be a potential threat to the quality of the cultured fish. Thus, this study aimed to assess the content of the metals in the cultured fish, their effect on the fish tissues, and the possible human health risk upon their consumption. This accomplished firstly, by determining the levels of essential Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, beside the top three most toxic metals (Cr, Cd, and Pb) in the edible muscles and liver of 200 samples of Oreochromis niloticus cultured at three fish farms, using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The results showed the order of abundance: Fe > Zn > Cu ≥ Cr > Mn > Pb > Cd. Levels of Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu in the fish liver were higher than corresponding values of muscles by 3, 3, 5, 9 order of magnitude, respectively. The histopathological examination showed alternations in muscles and liver tissues of fish farms irrigated with drainage water. However, the risk assessment indicated the safe human consumption of cultured fish produced from these fish farms.

Abstract
The bioavailability of heavy metal and growth of hyperaccumulator are key factors controlling the phytoextraction of heavy metal from soil. In this study, the efficacy and potential microbial mechanisms of digestate application in enhancing Cd extraction from soil by Pennisetum hybridum were investigated. The results showed that digestate application significantly promoted the height, tiller number, and biomass yield of Pennisetum hybridum. The application also increased the activities of urease, sucrase, dehydrogenase, available Cd contents of rhizosphere soils (from 2.21 to 2.46 mg kg-1), and the transfer factors of Cd from root to shoot and leaf. Assuming three annual harvests, digestate application would substantially reduce time needed for Pennisetum hybridum to completely absorb Cd from soil-from 15-16 yr-10 yr. Furthermore, the results of microbial community diversity analysis showed that digestate irrigation was more facilitated for the growth of the predominant bacteria, which were Actinobacteria and Chloroflexi at phylum level, and Sphingomonas and Nitrospiraat genus level, which mainly have the functions of promoted plant growth and metal resistance. The results suggested that the enhanced phytoextraction of Cd by Pennisetum hybridum with digestate application might mainly attributed to the increased Cd bio-availability and the enhanced plant growth, indicating that an approach combining digestate and Pennisetum hybridum could be a promising strategy for remediating Cd-contaminated soils.

Glycerol as a substrate for actinobacteria of biotechnological interest: Advantages and perspectives in circular economy systems. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 279:130505.

Abstract
Actinobacteria represent a ubiquitous group of microorganisms widely distributed in ecosystems. They have diverse physiological and metabolic properties, including the production of extracellular enzymes and a variety of secondary bioactive metabolites, such as antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and other compounds of industrial interest. Therefore, actinobacteria have been used for biotechnological purposes for more than three decades. The development of a biotechnological process requires the evaluation of its cost/benefit ratio, including the search for economic and efficient substrates for microorganisms development. Biodiesel is a clean, renewable, quality and economically viable source of energy, which also contributes to the conservation of the environment. Crude glycerol is the main by-product of biodiesel production and has many properties, so it has a commercial value that can be used to finance the biofuel production process. Actinobacteria can use glycerol as a source of carbon and energy, either pure o crude. A circular economy system aims to eliminate waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems. Although these principles are not yet met, some approaches are being made in this direction; the transformation of crude glycerol by actinobacteria is a process with great potential to be scaled on an industrial level. This review discusses the reports on glycerol as a promising source of carbon and energy for obtaining biomass and high-added value products by actinobacteria. Also, the factors influencing the biomass and secondary metabolites production in bioreactors are analyzed, and the tools available to overcome those that generate the main problems are discussed.

Effects of plant growth regulator and chelating agent on the phytoextraction of heavy metals by Pfaffia glomerata and on the soil microbial community. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 283:117159.

Abstract
Pfaffia glomerata is a candidate for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil, but phytoremediation efficiency requires enhancement. In this study, we evaluated how application of DA-6, EDTA, or CA affected the growth and heavy metal accumulation of P. glomerata and soil microorganisms. We found that P. glomerata removed more Cd and Zn than Pb or Cu from contaminated soil. When compared to the control, application of DA-6, CA, or CA + DA-6 increased plant biomass and increased stem Cd concentration by 1.28-, 1.20-, and 1.31-fold respectively; increased leaf Cd concentration by 1.25-, 1.28-, and 1.20-fold, respectively; and increased the total quantity of Cd extracted by 1.37-, 1.37-, and 1.38-fold, respectively. When compared to the control, application EDTA or EDTA + DA-6 significantly increased the soil available metal and Na concentrations, which harmed plant growth. Application of EDTA or EDTA + DA-6 also significantly decreased the Cd concentration in roots and stems. 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that application of EDTA or CA alone to soil significantly reduced the richness and diversity of soil bacteria, while foliar spraying of DA-6 combined with EDTA or CA slightly alleviated this reduction. EDTA or CA addition significantly changed the proportion of Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria. In addition, EDTA or CA addition caused changes in soil properties (e.g. heavy metal availability, K concentration, Na concentration, soil pH, soil CEC, and soil DOC concentration) that were associated with changes in the bacterial community. EDTA addition mainly affected the soil bacterial community by changing soil DOC concentration, the soil available Pb and Na concentration, and CA addition mainly affected the soil bacterial community by changing the soil available Ca concentration.

Abstract
Moso bamboo is considered a potential species for heavy metal (HM) phytoremediation; however, the effect of intercropping on rhizosphere and phytoextraction remains to be elucidated. We comparatively investigated rhizobacteria, soil properties, and phytoextraction efficiency of monoculture and intercropping of Moso bamboo and Sedum plumbizincicola in Cu/Zn/Cd-contaminated soil. Compared with monocultures, intercropping increased the bacterial α-diversity indices (Shannon, Chao1) and the number of biomarkers. Intercropping reduced the contents of soil organic matter (SOM), available nutrients, and Cd and Cu in rhizosphere soils, and reduced the Cd and Zn contents in tissues of sedum. By contrast, Cd and Zn contents in tissues of bamboo increased, and the increase of organic acid in root exudates from intercropping could facilitate the HM absorption. The total amount of Cu, Zn, and Cd removed from the soil in intercropping system was 1.2, 1.9, and 1.8 times than those in monoculture bamboo, respectively. The abundances of Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Verrucomicrobia and Actinobacteria were higher in intercropping, playing an important role in soil nutrient cycles and HM remediation. These bacterial communities were closely correlated (P < 0.01) with SOM, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, and HMs. The results suggested this intercropping pattern can increase HM removal efficiency from polluted soils.

Enhanced fluoroglucocorticoid removal from groundwater in a bio-electrochemical system with polyaniline-loaded activated carbon three-dimensional electrodes: Performance and mechanisms.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the removal performance and mechanisms of dexamethasone (DEX), a representative fluoroglucocorticoid (FGC), from micro-polluted oligotrophic groundwater in a bio-electrochemical system amended with polyaniline-loaded activated carbon (PANI@AC) as three-dimensional particle electrodes (BES-3D). The BES-3D achieved a DEX removal efficiency of 95.7%, which was 39.0% and 14.1% higher than that of a single biological system (SBIO) and two-dimensional bio-electrochemical system (BES-2D), respectively. The preliminary metabolic mechanism of defluorination accounted for 53.5%, 41.1%, and 16.3% in BES-3D, BES-2D, and SBIO, respectively, which was accompanied by demethylation, side-chain fracture, and hydroxyl oxidation for ketone formation and final-ring opening. The main mechanism by which removal was improved in BES-3D was the enrichment of functional microbes and enhancement of the expression of dehalogenation genes. The relative abundance of functional microbes with electron transfer ability and reductive dehalogenating genera, i.e., Pseudomonas, Methylotenera, Desulfuromonas, Sphingomonas, and Microbacterium, in BES-3D was 3.7-6.1 times higher and the copy number of functional genes was 1.9 times higher than those of SBIO, which contributed to the high DEX removal.

Abstract
The diversity of cultivable bacteria associated with plants from phytomanaged soils with mixed trace metal (TM) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination in Pierrelaye (France) was evaluated. The emphasis was on the cultivable bacterial community since the overall objective is to obtain inoculants to improve the remediation of this type of contaminated site. Root endophytic and rhizosphere soil bacterial counts were determined, and isolates were pooled by amplified rDNA restriction analysis and identified by 16S rDNA sequencing. Isolates were further characterized for the production of plant growth-promoting (PGP) substances, and resistance to TM. The selected strains were evaluated for their ability to degrade PAHs. The potential of cell-free microbial supernatant to increase the mobilisation of PAHs from the polluted soil of Pierrelaye was also evaluated. Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria dominated the collection of isolates, and differences in taxonomic diversity were observed between plant species (Populus or Zea mays) and depending on the remediation treatment (Populus inoculation with mycorrhizae or Populus intercropping with Alnus). The majority of isolates exhibited at least one of the tested PGP traits, as well as resistance to more than one TM. Several rhizosphere, endophyte and even one bulk soil isolate showed high rates of fluoranthene and pyrene reduction. The endophyte Rhizobium strain MR28 isolated from maize and degrading pyrene produced bioemulsifying molecules capable of improving the availability of PAHs from the soil of Pierrelaye. A selection of the most interesting strains was made for further re-inoculation experiments in order to assess their potential in rhizoremediation processes.

Abstract
In this study, lead (Pb) biosorption studies in aqueous solution were performed with metal-resistant Bacillus strain MRS-2 (ATCC 55674) bacterium which was previously isolated from wastewater plant. It showed minimum inhibition concentration of 300 ppm Pb on the nutrient agar plates. Pb biosorption using MRS-2 bacteria was investigated under different parameters such as pH, temperature, biomass dosage, initial Pb concentration, contact time, and type of biomass by batch experiments. Pb concentration was analyzed through Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. The rate of biosorption (Q) and Pb biosorption capacity (qe ) were calculated for above mentioned parameters. It was observed that Pb precipitates by itself from the solution at pH 2 and 8 or above without bacteria and precipitation did not increase even in the presence of bacteria. The results showed that the highest biosorption rate and biosorption capacity (mg/g) were observed at pH 7, 25°C, 2-h contact time with live bacteria. The highest biosorption rate was observed at 1.5 g/L biomass dose and 5 ppm initial Pb concentration, whereas the highest Pb biosorption capacity was observed at 0.25 g/L biomass dose and 12.5 ppm initial Pb concentration. It was observed that Pb biosorption by live bacteria occurred through adsorption on cell surface. In this study, the biosorption isotherm analysis favored the Langmuir isotherm model indicating monolayer biosorption. This Bacillus strain showed higher Pb biosorption capacity than most of the previously reported Bacillus strains. In conclusion, this study indicates that the Bacillus MRS-2 strain can be used to remove Pb from industrial wastewaters in an ecofriendly approach.

Abstract
The cellulolytic insect symbiont bacterium Streptomyces sp. strain SirexAA-E secretes a suite of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), which are involved in the degradation of various polysaccharides in the plant cell wall, in response to the available carbon sources. Here, we examined a poorly understood response of this bacterium to mannan, one of the major plant cell wall components. SirexAA-E grew well on mannose, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and locust bean gum (LBG) as sole carbon sources in the culture medium. The secreted proteins from each culture supernatant were tested for their polysaccharide-degrading ability, and the composition of secreted CAZymes in each sample was determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The results indicated that mannose, LBG, and CMC induced the secretion of mannan and cellulose-degrading enzymes. Interestingly, two α-1,2-mannosidases were abundantly secreted during growth on mannose and LBG. Using genomic analysis, we found a unique 12-bp palindromic sequence motif at 4 locations in the SirexAA-E genome, two of which were found upstream of the above-mentioned α-1,2-mannosidase genes, along with a newly identified mannose and mannobiose-responsive transcriptional regulator, SsManR. Furthermore, the previously reported cellobiose-responsive repressor, SsCebR, was determined to also use mannobiose as an effector ligand. To test whether mannobiose induces the sets of genes under the control of the two regulators, SirexAA-E was grown on mannobiose, and the secretome composition was analyzed. As hypothesized, the composition of the mannobiose secretome combined sets of CAZymes found in both LBG and CMC secretomes, and thus they are likely under the regulation of both SsManR and SsCebR. IMPORTANCE Streptomyces sp. SirexAA-E, a microbial symbiont of biomass-harvesting insects, secretes a suite of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes dependent on the available carbon sources. However, the response of this bacterium to mannan has not been documented. In this study, we investigated the response of this bacterium to mannose, mannobiose, and galactomannan (LBG). By combining biochemical, proteomic, and genomic approaches, we discovered a novel mannose and mannobiose responsive transcriptional regulator, SsManR, which selectively regulates three α-1,2-mannosidase-coding genes. We also demonstrated that the previously described cellobiose responsive regulator, SsCebR, could use mannobiose as an effector ligand. Overall, our findings suggest that the Streptomyces sp. SirexAA-E responds to mannose and mannooligosaccharides through two different transcriptional repressors that regulate the secretion of the plant cell wall-degrading enzymes to extract carbon sources in the host environment.

Abstract
The Actinomycetales order is one of great genetic and functional diversity, including diversity in the production of secondary metabolites which have uses in medical, environmental rehabilitation, and industrial applications. Secondary metabolites produced by actinomycete species are an abundant source of antibiotics, antitumor agents, anthelmintics, and antifungals. These actinomycete-derived medicines are in circulation as current treatments, but actinomycetes are also being explored as potential sources of new compounds to combat multidrug resistance in pathogenic bacteria. Actinomycetes as a potential to solve environmental concerns is another area of recent investigation, particularly their utility in the bioremediation of pesticides, toxic metals, radioactive wastes, and biofouling. Other applications include biofuels, detergents, and food preservatives/additives. Exploring other unique properties of actinomycetes will allow for a deeper understanding of this interesting taxonomic group. Combined with genetic engineering, microbial experimental evolution, and other enhancement techniques, it is reasonable to assume that the use of marine actinomycetes will continue to increase. Novel products will begin to be developed for diverse applied research purposes, including zymology and enology. This paper outlines the current knowledge of actinomycete usage in applied research, focusing on marine isolates and providing direction for future research.

Abstract
AIMS Aims of this study are to elucidate the molecular mechanism of copper-improved thiacloprid (THI) degradation by Ensifer adhaerens TMX-23 and characterize copper resistance of this strain. METHODS AND RESULTS Resting cells of E. adhaerens TMX-23 were used to degrade THI, with formation of THI amide and 98·31% of 0·59 mmol l-1 THI was degraded in 100 min. The addition of copper improved the degradation of THI and showed little inhibitory effects on the growth of E. adhaerens TMX-23. E. adhaerens TMX-23 degraded THI to THI amide by nitrile hydratases (NhcA and NhpA). QPCR analysis indicated that the expression of nhpA was up-regulated in the presence of copper. E. adhaerens TMX-23 nitrile hydratases were purified, and enzyme assay of NhpA exhibited the highest NHase activity toward THI. The addition of copper activated the activity of NhcA. Soil degradation experiment indicated that E. adhaerens TMX-23 could quickly eliminate THI residual in copper-added soil. CONCLUSIONS Copper improved THI degradation by E. adhaerens TMX-23 was attributed to the induced expression of nhpA and activated NhcA. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study broadens the investigation of regulatory mechanism of NHase expression and provided theoretical basis for using metal-resistant microbes to degrade pesticide in heavy metal co-contaminated environments.

Abstract
Soil contamination as a result of oil spills is a serious issue due to the global demand for diesel fuel. As an alternative to diesel, biodiesel has been introduced based on its high degradability rates and potential for reducing of greenhouse gases emissions. This study assessed the impacts diesel and biodiesel contamination on soil microbial community activity and structure. Our results suggest higher microbial activity in biodiesel contaminated soils and analysis of PLFA profiles confirmed shifts in microbial community structure in response to contamination. High-throughput 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing also revealed a lower bacterial richness and diversity in contaminated soils when compared to control samples, supporting evidence of the detrimental effects of hydrocarbons on soil microbiota. Control samples comprised mostly of Actinobacteria, whereas Proteobacteria were predominantly observed in diesel and biodiesel contaminated soils. At genus level, diesel and biodiesel amendments highly selected for Rhodococcus and Pseudomonas spp., respectively. Moreover, predicted functional profiles based on hydrocarbon-degrading enzymes revealed significant differences between contaminated soils mostly due to the chemical composition of diesel and biodiesel fuel. Here, we also identified that Burkholderiaceae, Novosphingobium, Anaeromyxobacter, Pseudomonas and Rhodococcus were the main bacterial taxa contributing to these enzymes. Together, this study supports the evidence of diesel/biodiesel adverse effects in soil microbial community structure and highlights microbial taxa that could be further investigated for their biodegradation potential.

Abstract
Potato waste was processed and used as a sole substrate for simultaneously producing antifungals and biopigments using Streptomyces spp. Out of three different Streptomyces isolates, strain SO6 stood out due to its ability to produce antifungals against economically important fungal phytopathogens and intracellular biopigments using potato waste powders without additional nutrients. This strain also showed the potential to secrete a broad range of enzymes for fermentation of eight sugars that could be involved in potato waste bioconversion. The results of the fermentation assay indicated that Streptomyces sp. strain SO6 degrades potato wastes during submerged fermentation, diminishing total dry weight and increasing reducing sugars from 0.3 to 3.6 mg·mL−1 and total proteins from 70.6 to 187.7 μg·mL−1. The results showed that Streptomyces strain SO6 was able to convert the potato waste into 0.96 mg·g−1 of diffusible antifungals and 1.75 mg·g−1 of reddish-purple biopigments. On the contrary, an absence of pigment production was observed during the fermentation of the commercial medium used as reference. According to our results, replacement of commercial culture media with available low-cost agroindustrial wastes for producing bioactive chemicals is a real opportunity to enhance the Streptomyces pigment production and antibiotic sustainability with cost-competitiveness. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the simultaneous production of biopigments and diffusible antifungal antibiotics produced by Streptomyces spp. using potato solid waste as the sole nutrient source.

Abstract
Increasing environmental pollutants such as heavy metals have become one of the most severe health dangers because of rapid industrialization. Exposure to lead and nickel heavy toxic metals can lead to hazardous diseases affecting most of the organs in humans. Bioremediation is a process that uses the ability of microorganisms or plants to detoxify environmental contaminants at lower costs than physicochemical techniques. This study isolated halophilic bacteria from Khara salt lake in Iran and screened their ability to resist lead and nickel. After screening stages, three selected strains including Bacillus sp. A21, Oceanobacillus sp. A22 and Salinicoccus A43 were identified by16S rDNA sequencing and the related sequences were submitted to GeneBank with accession IDs MN588312, MN588313, and MN 588,314, respectively. These strains resist 7.2 mM, 4.1 mM, and 6.7 mM lead and 3.6 mM, 3.7 mM, and 4.1 mM nickel, respectively. Investigation of growth pattern and evaluation of bioremediation ability by atomic absorption spectroscopy revealed that Bacillus sp. A21 could decrease lead and nickel in culture medium up to 97.5% and 76%, respectively. Oceanobacillus sp. A22 showed higher lead bioremediation rate (98.8%) and lower nickel-bioremediation rate (73.5%). Salinicoccus sp. A43 showed the least bioremediation ability (92% lead and 71.7% nickel). The ability of selected strains to synthesize lead and nickel nanoparticles was evaluated using UV/Vis spectrophotometry and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). Particle dimensions were measured using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Bacillus sp. A21 and Oceanobacillus sp. A22 strains were able to synthesize lead nanoparticles; however, Salinicoccus sp. A43 could synthesize both lead and nickel nanoparticles.

Abstract
Microorganism-assisted phytoremediation is being developed as an efficient green approach for management of toxic metals contaminated soils and mitigating the potential human health risk. The capability of plant growth promoting Actinobacteria (Streptomyces pactum Act12 - ACT) and Firmicutes (Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis - BC) in mono- and co-applications (consortium) to improve soil properties and enhance phytoextraction of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn by Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. was studied here for the first time in both incubation and pot experiments. The predominant microbial taxa were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes, which are important lineages for maintaining soil ecological activities. The consortium improved the levels of alkaline phosphatase, β-D glucosidase, dehydrogenase, sucrase and urease (up to 33%) as compared to the control. The bacterial inoculum also triggered increases in plant fresh weight, pigments and antioxidants. The consortium application enhanced significantly the metals bioavailability (DTPA extractable) and mobilization (acid soluble fraction), relative to those in the unamended soil; therefore, significantly improved the metals uptake by roots and shoots. The phytoextraction indices indicated that B. juncea is an efficient accumulator of Cd and Zn. Overall, co-application of ACT and BC can be an effective solution for enhancing phytoremediation potential and thus reducing the potential human health risk from smelter-contaminated soil. Field studies may further credit the understanding of consortium interactions with soil and different plant systems in remediating multi-metal contaminated environments.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution that results from electronic waste (e-waste) recycling activities has severe ecological environmental toxicity impacts on recycling areas. The distribution of heavy metals and the impact on the bacteria in these areas have received much attention. However, the diversity and composition of the microbial communities and the characteristics of heavy metal resistance genes (HMRGs) in the river sediments after long-term e-waste contamination still remain unclear. In this study, eight river sediment samples along a river in a recycling area were studied for the heavy metal concentration and the microbial community composition. The microbial community consisted of 13 phyla including Firmicutes (ranging from 10.45 to 36.63%), Proteobacteria (11.76 to 32.59%), Actinobacteria (14.81 to 27.45%), and unclassified bacteria. The abundance of Firmicutes increased along with the level of contaminants, while Actinobacteria decreased. A canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) showed that the concentration of mercury was significantly correlated with the microbial community and species distribution, which agreed with an analysis of the potential ecological risk index. Moreover, manually curated HMRGs were established, and the HMRG analysis results according to Illumina high-throughput sequencing showed that the abundance of HMRGs was positively related to the level of contamination, demonstrating a variety of resistance mechanisms to adapt, accommodate, and live under heavy metal-contaminated conditions. These findings increase the understanding of the changes in microbial communities in e-waste recycling areas and extend our knowledge of the HMRGs involved in the recovery of the ecological environment.
