Abstract
The biosynthesis of Pd nanoparticles supported on microorganisms (bio-Pd) is achieved via the enzymatic reduction of Pd(II) to Pd(0) under ambient conditions using inexpensive buffers and electron donors, like organic acids or hydrogen. Sustainable bio-Pd catalysts are effective for C-C coupling and hydrogenation reactions, but their industrial application is limited by challenges in controlling nanoparticle properties. Here, using the metal-reducing bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens, it is demonstrated that synthesizing bio-Pd under different Pd loadings and utilizing different electron donors (acetate, formate, hydrogen, no e- donor) influences key properties such as nanoparticle size, Pd(II):Pd(0) ratio, and cellular location. Controlling nanoparticle size and location controls the activity of bio-Pd for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol, whereas high Pd loading on cells synthesizes bio-Pd with high activity, comparable to commercial Pd/C, for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. Additionally, the study demonstrates the novel synthesis of microbially-supported ≈2 nm PdO nanoparticles due to the hydrolysis of biosorbed Pd(II) in bicarbonate buffer. Bio-PdO nanoparticles show superior activity in 4-nitrophenol reduction compared to commercial Pd/C catalysts. Overall, controlling biosynthesis parameters, such as electron donor, metal loading, and solution chemistry, enables tailoring of bio-Pd physicochemical and catalytic properties.

Interactive effects of palladium (Pd) and microplastics (MPs) on metal bioaccumulation and biological responses in the Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2023; 194:115284. [PMID: 37478783 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2023.115284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
This study investigates the potential of MPs as carriers of pollutants as they can strengthen bioaccumulation of toxic metals on marine organisms. For the first time, the interaction of the metal palladium (Pd) with the widespread MPs, both with increasing concentrations in water environments from anthropogenic sources, was tested. Mytilus galloprovincialis, an important seafood product, was exposed to Pd (24 h) in two ways: water-dissolved and MPs-adsorbed, with depuration followed for 144 h. Quantification of Pd in tissues shown an accumulation 2-3 times higher (59 % of initial Pd) for mussels exposed to MPs-adsorbed Pd and higher in digestive gland than when exposed to water-dissolved Pd (25 %; higher in gills). Additionally, it was demonstrated that Pd induced oxidative stress and altered the feeding behavior of mussels. Therefore, this work support MPs as being vectors of metals (i.e. Pd) to enhance their bioaccumulation on marine organisms which highlights ecological risk of these emerging pollutants.

Electrochemically assisted production of biogenic palladium nanoparticles for the catalytic removal of micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants effluent. J Environ Sci (China) 2023; 128:203-212.

Abstract
Biogenic palladium nanoparticles (bio-Pd NPs) are used for the reductive transformation and/or dehalogenation of persistent micropollutants. In this work, H2 (electron donor) was produced in situ by an electrochemical cell, permitting steered production of differently sized bio-Pd NPs. The catalytic activity was first assessed by the degradation of methyl orange. The NPs showing the highest catalytic activity were selected for the removal of micropollutants from secondary treated municipal wastewater. The synthesis at different H2 flow rates (0.310 L/hr or 0.646 L/hr) influenced the bio-Pd NPs size. The NPs produced over 6 hr at a low H2 flow rate had a larger size (D50 = 39.0 nm) than those produced in 3 hr at a high H2 flow rate (D50 = 23.2 nm). Removal of 92.1% and 44.3% of methyl orange was obtained after 30 min for the NPs with sizes of 39.0 nm and 23.2 nm, respectively. Bio-Pd NPs of 39.0 nm were used to treat micropollutants present in secondary treated municipal wastewater at concentrations ranging from µg/L to ng/L. Effective removal of 8 compounds was observed: ibuprofen (69.5%) < sulfamethoxazole (80.6%) < naproxen (81.4%) < furosemide (89.7%) < citalopram (91.7%) < diclofenac (91.9%) < atorvastatin (> 94.3%) < lorazepam (97.2%). Removal of fluorinated antibiotics occurred at > 90% efficiency. Overall, these data indicate that the size, and thus the catalytic activity of the NPs can be steered and that the removal of challenging micropollutants at environmentally relevant concentrations can be achieved through the use of bio-Pd NPs.

Abstract
Noble-metal electrocatalysts supported by biological-organism-derived carbons have attracted attention from the public due to the growing demands for green synthesis and environmental protection. Carbonization at high temperatures and hydrogen reduction are critical steps in this technical route. Herein, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 were used as precursors, and the effects of the hydrogen-reduction procedure on catalysts were explored. The results showed that the performances of FHTG (carbonization followed by hydrogen reduction) displayed the best performance. Its ECSA (electrochemical surface area), MA (mass activity), and SA (specific activity) reached 35.01 m2 g−1, 58.39 A·g−1, and 1.66 A cm−2, respectively, which were 1.17, 1.75, and 1.50 times that of PHTG (prepared through hydrogen reduction followed by carbonization) and 1.56, 2.26, and 1.44 times that of DHTG (double hydrogen reduction). The high performance could be attributed to its fine particle size and rich N content, and the specific regulation mechanism was also proposed in this paper. This study opens a practical guide for effectively avoiding particle agglomeration during the fabrication process for catalysts.

Abstract
Due to their numerous effects on human health and the natural environment, water contamination with heavy metals and metalloids, caused by their extensive use in various technologies and industrial applications, continues to be a huge ecological issue that needs to be urgently tackled. Additionally, within the circular economy management framework, the recovery and recycling of metals-based waste as high value-added products (VAPs) is of great interest, owing to their high cost and the continuous depletion of their reserves and natural sources. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art technologies developed for the removal and recovery of metal pollutants from wastewater by providing an in-depth understanding of their remediation mechanisms, while analyzing and critically discussing the recent key advances regarding these treatment methods, their practical implementation and integration, as well as evaluating their advantages and remaining limitations. Herein, various treatment techniques are covered, including adsorption, reduction/oxidation, ion exchange, membrane separation technologies, solvents extraction, chemical precipitation/co-precipitation, coagulation-flocculation, flotation, and bioremediation. A particular emphasis is placed on full recovery of the captured metal pollutants in various reusable forms as metal-based VAPs, mainly as solid precipitates, which is a powerful tool that offers substantial enhancement of the remediation processes' sustainability and cost-effectiveness. At the end, we have identified some prospective research directions for future work on this topic, while presenting some recommendations that can promote sustainability and economic feasibility of the existing treatment technologies.

Rational design of biogenic Pd xAu y nanoparticles with enhanced catalytic performance for electrocatalysis and azo dyes degradation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 204:112086.

Abstract
The green biogenic PdAu nanoparticles (bio-PdAu NPs) exhibits remarkable catalytic performance in hydrogenation, which is highly desired. However, the catalytic principles and effectiveness of bio-PdxAuy NPs in response to various catalytic systems (electrocatalysis and suspension-catalysis) are unclear. Herein, a facile synthetic strategy for bio-PdxAuy NPs synthesis with controlled size and the catalytic principles for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and azo dye degradation is reported. In the biosynthetic process, the size and composition of the bio-PdxAuy NPs could be precisely controlled by predesigning the precursor mass ratio of Pd/Au, and the Au proportion showed a linear relationship with the size of NPs (R2 = 0.92). The obtained bio-PdxAuy NPs exhibit variable activity in electrocatalysis (HER) and suspension-catalysis (azo dye degradation). For electrocatalysis, the formation of conductive networks that facilitates the extracellular electron transfer is crucial. It was revealed that the bio-Pd2Au8 exhibited superior electrocatalytic performance in HER/toward hydrogen evolution, with a maximum current density of 1.65 mA cm-2, which was 1.54 times higher than that commercial Pd/C (1.07 mA cm-2). The high electrocatalytic activity was attributed to its appropriate size (81.38 ± 6.14 nm) and uniform distribution on the cell surface, which promoted the extracellular electron transfer by constructing a conductive network between catalyst and electrode. However, for suspension-catalysis, the size effect and synergistic effect of bimetallic NPs have a more prominent effect on the degradation of azo dyes. As the increase of Au proportion the particle size decreases, and the catalytic activity of bio-PdxAuy improved significantly. The response principles of bio-PdxAuy proposed in this study provide a reliable reference for the rational design of bio-based bimetallic catalysts with enhanced catalytic performance.

Abstract
Metals represent a large proportion of industrial effluents, which due to their high hazardous nature and toxicity are responsible to create environmental pollution that can pose significant threat to the global flora and fauna. Strict ecological rules compromise sustainable recovery of metals from industrial effluents by replacing unsustainable and energy-consuming physical and chemical techniques. Innovative technologies based on the bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are a rapidly developing research field with proven encouraging outcomes for many industrial commodities, considering the worthy options for recovering metals from industrial effluents. BES technology platform has redox capabilities with small energy-intensive processes. The positive stigma of BES in metals recovery is addressed in this review by demonstrating the significance of BES over the current physical and chemical techniques. The mechanisms of action of BES towards metal recovery have been postulated with the schematic representation. Operational limitations in BES-based metal recovery such as biocathode and metal toxicity are deeply discussed based on the available literature results. Eventually, a progressive inspection towards a BES-based metal recovery platform with possibilities of integration with other modern technologies is foreseen to meet the real-time challenges of viable industrial commercialization.

Abstract
Palladium metal nanoparticles are excellent catalysts used industrially for reactions such as hydrogenation and Heck and Suzuki C-C coupling reactions. However, the global demand for Pd far exceeds global supply, therefore the sustainable use and recycling of Pd is vital. Conventional chemical synthesis routes of Pd metal nanoparticles do not meet sustainability targets due to the use of toxic chemicals, such as organic solvents and capping agents. Microbes are capable of bioreducing soluble high oxidation state metal ions to form metal nanoparticles at ambient temperature and pressure, without the need for toxic chemicals. Microbes can also reduce metal from waste solutions, revalorising these waste streams and allowing the reuse of precious metals. Pd nanoparticles supported on microbial cells (bio-Pd) can catalyse a wide array of reactions, even outperforming commercial heterogeneous Pd catalysts in several studies. However, to be considered a viable commercial option, the intrinsic activity and selectivity of bio-Pd must be enhanced. Many types of microorganisms can produce bio-Pd, although most studies so far have been performed using bacteria, with metal reduction mediated by hydrogenase or formate dehydrogenase enzymes. Dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria (DMRB) possess additional enzymes adapted for extracellular electron transport that potentially offer greater control over the properties of the nanoparticles produced. A recent and important addition to the field are bio-bimetallic nanoparticles, which significantly enhance the catalytic properties of bio-Pd. In addition, systems biology can integrate bio-Pd into biocatalytic processes, and processing techniques may enhance the catalytic properties further, such as incorporating additional functional nanomaterials. This review aims to highlight aspects of enzymatic metal reduction processes that can be bioengineered to control the size, shape, and cellular location of bio-Pd in order to optimise its catalytic properties.

Abstract
The exploitation of microorganisms for the fabrication of nanoparticles (NPs) has garnered considerable research interest globally. The microbiological transformation of metals and metal salts into respective NPs can be achieved under environmentally benign conditions, offering a more sustainable alternative to chemical synthesis methods. Species of the metal-reducing bacterial genus Shewanella are able to couple the oxidation of various electron donors, including lactate, pyruvate, and hydrogen, to the reduction of a wide range of metal species, resulting in biomineralization of a multitude of metal NPs. Single-metal-based NPs as well as composite materials with properties equivalent or even superior to physically and chemically produced NPs have been synthesized by a number of Shewanella species. A mechanistic understanding of electron transfer-mediated bioreduction of metals into respective NPs by Shewanella is crucial in maximizing NP yields and directing the synthesis to produce fine-tuned NPs with tailored properties. In addition, thorough investigations into the influence of process parameters controlling the biosynthesis is another focal point for optimizing the process of NP generation. Synthesis of metal-based NPs using Shewanella species offers a low-cost, eco-friendly alternative to current physiochemical methods. This article aims to shed light on the contribution of Shewanella as a model organism in the biosynthesis of a variety of NPs and critically reviews the current state of knowledge on factors controlling their synthesis, characterization, potential applications in different sectors, and future prospects.

[PMID: 32919957 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.110196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2020] [Revised: 08/22/2020] [Accepted: 09/06/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Biologically synthesized palladium nanoparticles (bio-Pd) have attracted considerable interest as promising green catalysts for environmental remediation. However, the mechanisms by which microorganisms produce bio-Pd remain unclear. In the present study, we investigated the roles of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and its NADH dehydrogenases and hydrogenases (HydA and HyaB) in bio-Pd production using formate as the electron donor. The roles of NADH dehydrogenases and hydrogenases were studied by inhibiting NADH dehydrogenases and using hydrogenase mutants (ΔhydA, ΔhyaB, and ΔhydAΔhyaB), respectively. The results showed ~97% reduction of palladium by S. oneidensis MR-1 after 24 h using 250 μM palladium and 500 μM formate. Electron microscopy images showed the presence of bio-Pd on both the outer and cytoplasmic membranes of S. oneidensis MR-1. However, the inhibition of NADH dehydrogenases in S. oneidensis MR-1 resulted in only ~61% reduction of palladium after 24 h, and bio-Pd were not found on the outer membrane. The mutants lacking one or two hydrogenases removed 91-96% of palladium ions after 24 h and showed more cytoplasmic bio-Pd but less periplasmic bio-Pd. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the role of NADH dehydrogenases of S. oneidensis MR-1 in the formation of bio-Pd on the outer membrane. It also demonstrates that the hydrogenases (especially HyaB) of S. oneidensis MR-1 contribute to the formation of bio-Pd in the periplasmic space. This study provides mechanistic insights into the production of biogenic metal nanoparticles towards their possible use in industrial and environmental applications.

Abstract
Gram-negative Citrobacter freundii with high Pd (II) reduction capacity was isolated from electroplating wastewater, and the electron transfer involved in Pd (II) bio-reduction by C. freundii JH was investigated in phosphate buffer saline solution with sodium formate as sole electron donor under anaerobic condition. FTIR spectra indicated that hydroxyl and amine groups on cell wall participated Pd (II) bio-sorption. TEM, XRD, XPS results confirmed that Pd (0) nanoparticles (NPs) could be bio-synthesized intra/extracellularly. Meanwhile, pH turn-over were observed owing to the reduction of cytochrome c (c-Cyt) in bio-reduction process. EPR spectra indicated that free radicals (OH) was generated from high concentration Pd (II), which would cause seriously damage to cell. Despite of the lower tolerance to Pd (II), the cells at logarithmic phase exhibited higher Pd (II) reduction capacity (72.21%) than that at stationary phase (56.21%), which might be related to the relatively stronger proton motive force (PMF) created by the substrate oxidation and the electron transfer, as evidenced by electrochemical experiments (CV, DPV, amperometric I-t curves) and protein denaturalization experiments. Additionally, c-Cyt and riboflavin were confirmed to be important participants in electron transfer. Finally, a putative synthesis mechanism of Pd (0)-NPs was deduced. This study contributed to further understanding the electron transfer in Pd (II) reduction, and provided more information for the bio-synthetic of metal nanoparticles.

Abstract
In this study, we screened a new aerobic bacterium (Bacillus megaterium Y-4) that can efficiently reduce Pd(II) with different electron donors. The best electron donor was sodium formate and the best reduction of Pd(II) were by log growth phase cells. The high removal capacity of Pd(II) (1658.3 mg/g) was obtained with 30 mg/L dry cell weight and 50 mg/L Pd (II) in the presence of 5 mM sodium formate. The removal amount of Pd(II) increased with initial Pd(II) concentrations ranging from 50 to 200 mg/L with 100 mg/L Pd(II) being completely removed by 148 mg/L dry cell weight in 6 h. The cell wall, periplasmic space and intracellular contents of B. megaterium Y-4 contains different kinds of enzymes for reducing Pd(II). In addition, the activity of extracellular and periplasmic enzymes was more sensitive to temperature than intracellular enzymes. XRD and XPS analysis revealed that the enzyme for reducing Pd(II) in B. megaterium Y-4 can tolerate a broad range of temperatures (20-60 °C) and pH (2.0-7.0) but was sensitive to oxygen. TEM analysis showed that biogenic palladium nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) were mainly distributed evenly in the periplasmic space of the live cells and were released from cells into aqueous solution, which reduced the toxicity of Pd(II), allowing Pd-NP recovery without cell destruction. B. megaterium Y-4 is a potential bacterium for efficient treatment and reclamation of Pd(II) pollution and formation of Pd-NPs.

Abstract
Formation and recovery of elemental tellurium (Te0) from wastewaters are required by increasing demands and scarce resources. Membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) using gaseous electron donor has been reported as a low-cost and benign technique to reduce and recover metal (loids). In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of nanoscale Te0 formation by tellurite (TeO32-) reduction in a CH4-based MBfR. Biogenic Te0 intensively attached on cell surface, within diameters ranging from 10 nm to 30 nm and the hexagonal nanostructure. Along with the Te0 formation, the TeO32- reduction was inhibited. After flushing, biofilm resumed the TeO32- reduction ability, suggesting that the formed nanoscale Te0 might inhibit the reduction by hindering substrate transfer of TeO32- to microbes. The 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing revealed that Thermomonas and Hyphomicrobium were possibly responsible for TeO32- reduction since they increased consecutively along with the experiment operation. The PICRUSt (Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States) analysis showed that the sulfite reductases were positively correlated with the TeO32- flux, indicating they were potential enzymes involved in reduction process. This study confirms the capability of CH4-based MBfR in tellurium reduction and formation, and provides more techniques for resources recovery and recycles.

Abstract
Bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) often exhibit improved catalytic performance due to the electronic and spatial structure changes. Herein, a novel green biosynthesis method for Pd-Pt alloy NPs using Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was proposed. The morphology, size and crystal structure of Pd-Pt alloy NPs were studied by a suite of characterization techniques. Results showed Pd-Pt alloy NPs were successfully synthesized inside and outside the cell. The biosynthesized Pd-Pt alloy NPs were polycrystalline and face-centered-cubic structure with the particle size ranged from 3-40 nm. Furthermore, the catalytic experiment demonstrated that the Pd-Pt alloy NPs exhibited the highest performance for the catalytic reduction of nitrophenol and azo dyes compared with the as-synthesized Pd and Pt monometallic NPs. This enlarged catalytic activity resulted from the synergistic effect of Pd and Pt element. Thereby, this paper provided a simple biosynthesis method for producing bimetallic alloy nanocatalyst with superior activity for contaminant degradation.

Abstract
In nature, microbes use extracellular electron transfer (EET) to recover noble metals. Most attention has been paid to the biorecovery process occurring intracellularly and on the cell surface. In this work, we report that Pd nanorods could be biosynthesized by Enterobacter cloacae SgZ-5T in the extracellular space. This bacterium possesses both a direct EET pathway through membrane redox systems and an indirect EET pathway via the self-secreted electron carrier hydroquinone (HQ). When exposed to Pd(II), the bacteria adjusted their metabolic pathway and membrane-bound proteins to secrete riboflavin (RF). However, no HQ was detected in the supernatant in presence of Pd(II). No significant change was observed through metabolomic analysis regarding the abundance of HQ in presence of Pd(II) compared to Pd(II)-free supernatant. Similar results were also obtained through transcriptomic analysis of YqjG gene encoding glutathionyl-HQ reductase synthase. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic evidence indicated that HQ may adsorb to the surface of Pd nanorods. Moreover, the gene encoding RF synthase (ribE) was up-regulated in the present of Pd(II), suggesting that this bioreduction process induced RF synthase, which had been shown in previous results. The UV-vis spectroscopy data demonstrated that the Pd(II) reduction rate was enhanced by 5%, 5.5% and 30% by the addition of 3.33 μM HQ, 3.33 μM RF and the both, respectively. All these results revealed that the bi-mediators secreted by bacteria were beneficial for biorecovery of Pd. This work is of significance for understanding metal biorecovery processes and natural biogeochemical processes.

Abstract
Critical raw materials (CRMs) are essential in the development of novel high-tech applications. They are essential in sustainable materials and green technologies, including renewable energy, emissionfree electric vehicles and energy-efficient lighting. However, the sustainable supply of CRMs is a major concern. Recycling end-of-life devices is an integral element of the CRMs supply policy of many countries. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is an important secondary source of CRMs. Currently, pyrometallurgical processes are used to recycle metals from WEEE. These processes are deemed imperfect, energy-intensive and non-selective towards CRMs. Biotechnologies are a promising alternative to the current industrial best available technologies (BAT). In this review, we present the current frontiers in CRMs recovery from WEEE using biotechnology, the biochemical fundamentals of these bio-based technologies and discuss recent research and development (R&D) activities. These technologies encompass biologically induced leaching (bioleaching) from various matrices,biomass-induced sorption (biosorption), and bioelectrochemical systems (BES).

Abstract
Treatment of toxic and emerging pollutants (T&EPs) is increasing the threats to the survival of conventional wastewater treatment (WWTs) technologies. The high installation and operational costs of advanced treatment technologies have shifted the research interest to the development of economical and reliable technology for management of T&EPs. Thus, recently biogenic nanoparticles (BNPs) fabricated using microbes/microorganisms are getting tremendous research interest due to their unique properties (i.e. high specific surface area, desired morphology, catalytic reactivity) for the biodegradation and biosorption of T&EPs. In addition, BNPs can be manufactured using metal contaminated water which indicates a hidden potential for resource recovery and utilization. Therefore, the present study discusses the adsorptive and catalytic performance of BNPs in the removal of T&EPs from water (W) and wastewater (WW). In addition, inspired by the superior performance of BNPs in advance WWT, a model of BNPs based WWT resource recovery and utilization process is also proposed. Finally, main issues i.e. mass production, leaching, poisoning/toxicity, regeneration, reusability and fabrication costs and process optimization are discussed which are main hinders in the transfer of BNPs based WWT technologies from laboratory to commercial scale.

The physiology of electroactive bacteria is intimately tied to inorganic transformations, which makes genetically tractable and well-studied electrogens, such as Shewanella oneidensis, attractive hosts for material synthesis. Notably, this species is capable of reducing a variety of transition-metal ions into functional nanoparticles, but exact mechanisms of nanoparticle biosynthesis remain ill-defined. We report two key factors of extracellular electron transfer by S. oneidensis, the outer membrane cytochrome, MtrC, and soluble redox shuttles (flavins), that affect Pd nanoparticle formation. Changes in the expression and availability of these electron transfer components drastically modulated particle synthesis rate and phenotype, including their structure and cellular localization. These relationships may serve as the basis for biologically tailoring Pd nanoparticle catalysts and could potentially be used to direct the biogenesis of other metal nanomaterials.

Abstract
The authors report that a marine Shewanella sp. CNZ-1 is capable of producing Au NPs under various conditions. Results showed that initial concentration of Au(III), pH values and electron donors affected nucleation of Au NPs by CNZ-1, resulting in different apparent color of the as-obtained bio-Au NPs, which were further characterized by UV-Vis, TEM, XRD, and XPS analyses. Mechanism studies revealed that Au(III) was first reduced to Au(I) and eventually reduced to EPS-coated Au0 NPs. FTIR and FEEM analyses revealed that some amides and humic acid-like matters were involved in the production of bio-Au NPs through CNZ-1 cells. In addition, the authors also found that the catalytic activity of bio-Au NPs for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction could be enhanced by various metal ions (Ca2+ , Cu2+ , Co2+ , Fe2+ , Fe3+ , Ni2+ , Sr2+ , and Cr3+ ) and metal oxides (Fe3 O4 , Al2 O3 , and SiO2 ), which is beneficial for their further practical application. The maximum zero-order rate constant k 1 and first-order rate constant k2 of all metal ions/oxides supplemented systems can reach 99.65 mg/(L. min) and 2.419 min-1 , which are 11.3- and 12.6-fold higher than that of control systems, respectively. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2018; 161:356-363.

Abstract
This study constructed a biological-inorganic hybrid system including Pseudomonas putida (P. putida) and bioreduced Pd (0) nanoparticles (NPs), and inspected the influence of bio-nano Pd (0) on the direct electron transfer and phenol biodegradation. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) showed that bio-nano Pd (0) (~10 nm) were evenly dispersed on the surface and in the periplasm of P. putida. With the incorporation of bio-nano Pd (0), the redox currents of bacteria in the cyclic voltammetry (CV) became higher and the oxidation current increased as the addition of lactate, while the highest increase rates of two electron transfer system (ETS) rates were 63.97% and 33.79%, respectively. These results indicated that bio-nano Pd (0) could directly promote the electron transfer of P. putida. In phenol biodegradation process, P. putida-Pd (0)- 2 showed the highest k (0.2992 h-1), μm (0.035 h-1) and Ki (714.29 mg/L) and the lowest apparent Ks (76.39 mg/L). The results of kinetic analysis indicated that bio-nano Pd (0) markedly enhanced the biocatalytic efficiency, substrate affinity and the growth of cells compared to native P. putida. The positive effects of bio-nano Pd (0) to the electron transfer of P. putida would promote the biodegradation of phenol.

Bio-recycling of metals: Recycling of technical products using biological applications. Biotechnol Adv 2018; 36:1048-1062.

Abstract
The increasing demand of different essential metals as a consequence of the development of new technologies, especially in the so called "low carbon technologies" require the development of innovative technologies that enable an economic and environmentally friendly metal recovery from primary and secondary resources. There is serious concern that the demand of some critical elements might exceed the present supply within a few years, thus necessitating the development of novel strategies and technologies to meet the requirements of industry and society. Besides an improvement of exploitation and processing of ores, the more urgent issue of recycling of strategic metals has to be enforced. However, current recycling rates are very low due to the increasing complexity of products and the low content of certain critical elements, thus hindering an economic metal recovery. On the other hand, increasing environmental consciousness as well as limitations of classical methods require innovative recycling methodologies in order to enable a circular economy. Modern biotechnologies can contribute to solve some of the problems related to metal recycling. These approaches use natural properties of organisms, bio-compounds, and biomolecules to interact with minerals, materials, metals, or metal ions such as surface attachment, mineral dissolution, transformation, and metal complexation. Further, modern genetic approaches, e.g. realized by synthetic biology, enable the smart design of new chemicals. The article presents some recent developments in the fields of bioleaching, biosorption, bioreduction, and bioflotation, and their use for metal recovery from different waste materials. Currently only few of these developments are commercialized. Major limitations are high costs in comparison to conventional methods and low element selectivity. The article discusses future trends to overcome these barriers. Especially interdisciplinary approaches, the combination of different technologies, the inclusion of modern genetic methods, as well as the consideration of existing, yet unexplored natural resources will push innovations in these fields.

Abstract
Recovery of noble metals using marine bacteria is becoming an attractive research area because the marine microbes can better adapt to unfavorable environment than terrestrial microorganisms. In this study, we first reported that a marine Bacillus sp. GP was capable of producing Pd and Au NPs in the presence of sodium lactate. Ultraviolet visible spectrometer (UV-vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses were employed to explain the process and mechanism of Pd(II)/Au(III) reduction through GP. Additionally, we also found that bio-Pd/Au NPs could be used as catalysts in chemical reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Moreover, the catalytic activity of bio-Pd NPs could be enhanced by Fe3O4, Al2O3 and SiO2, which is beneficial for practical application. The k1 (k2) values of Fe3O4, Al2O3 and SiO2 supplemental systems were approximately 1.28-1.69 (1.15-1.69), 1.42-1.75 (1.53-1.91) and 1.07-1.73 (1.14-1.49) fold, respectively, compared to that of control systems.

Abstract
Although microbial synthesized palladium nanoparticles (bioPd) have been demonstrated to exhibit a great activity toward dechlorination of several chlorinated pollutants, there is no systematic investigation into the substituent effect on dechlorination. Chloronitrobenzenes are widely used for manufacturing and known as persistent pollutants with recalcitrance of biodegradation for nitro groups. In this work, bioPd was synthesized by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. The dechlorination of 2-chloronitrobenzene, 4-chloronitrobenzene and 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene catalyzed by bioPd were investigated. Simultaneous dechlorination and nitro reduction were observed by synergistic catalysis of bioPd and S. oneidensis MR-1. Pd concentration was optimized for the reduction. Producing profiles of intermediates changed with the ratio of Pd to cell, supporting a size- or shape-controlled catalytic activity of bioPd. The removal of chloro atoms at para-position was easier than that at ortho-position in 2,4-DCNB, suggesting a position effect on the reduction, which was further supported by the frontier molecular orbital and frontier electron density of 2,4-DCNB according to density functional theory.

Abstract
The widespread use of platinum in high-tech and catalytic applications has led to the production of diverse Pt loaded wastewaters. Effective recovery strategies are needed for the treatment of low concentrated waste streams to prevent pollution and to stimulate recovery of this precious resource. The biological recovery of five common environmental Pt-complexes was studied under acidic conditions; the chloro-complexes PtCl42- and PtCl62-, the amine-complex Pt(NH3)4Cl2 and the pharmaceutical complexes cisplatin and carboplatin. Five bacterial species were screened on their platinum recovery potential; the Gram-negative species Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34, Geobacter metallireducens, and Pseudomonas stutzeri, and the Gram-positive species Bacillus toyonensis. Overall, PtCl42- and PtCl62- were completely recovered by all bacterial species while only S. oneidensis and C. metallidurans were able to recover cisplatin quantitatively (99%), all in the presence of H2 as electron donor at pH 2. Carboplatin was only partly recovered (max. 25% at pH 7), whereas no recovery was observed in the case of the Pt-tetraamine complex. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the presence of both intra- and extracellular platinum particles. Flow cytometry based microbial viability assessment demonstrated the decrease in number of intact bacterial cells during platinum reduction and indicated C. metallidurans to be the most resistant species. This study showed the effective and complete biological recovery of three common Pt-complexes, and estimated the fate and transport of the Pt-complexes in wastewater treatment plants and the natural environment.

Abstract
The increased use and criticality of platinum asks for the development of effective low-cost strategies for metal recovery from process and waste streams. Although biotechnological processes can be applied for the valorization of diluted aqueous industrial streams, investigations considering real stream conditions (e.g., high salt levels, acidic pH, metal speciation) are lacking. This study investigated the recovery of platinum by a halophilic microbial community in the presence of increased salt concentrations (10-80 g L-1), different salt matrices (phosphate salts, sea salts and NH4Cl) and a refinery process stream. The halophiles were able to recover 79-99% of the Pt at 10-80 g L-1 salts and at pH 2.3. Transmission electron microscopy suggested a positive correlation between intracellular Pt cluster size and elevated salt concentrations. Furthermore, the halophiles recovered 46-95% of the Pt-amine complex Pt[NH3]42+ from a process stream after the addition of an alternative Pt source (K2PtCl4, 0.1-1.0 g L-1 Pt). Repeated Pt-tetraamine recovery (from an industrial process stream) was obtained after concomitant addition of fresh biomass and harvesting of Pt saturated biomass. This study demonstrates how aqueous Pt streams can be transformed into Pt rich biomass, which would be an interesting feed of a precious metals refinery.

Abstract
Recovering palladium (Pd) from waste streams opens up the possibility of augmenting the supply of this important catalyst. We evaluated Pd reduction and recovery as a novel application of a H2-based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR). At steady states, over 99% of the input soluble Pd(II) was reduced through concomitant enzymatic and autocatalytic processes at acidic or near neutral pHs. Nanoparticulate Pd(0), at an average crystallite size of 10 nm, was recovered with minimal leaching and heterogeneously associated with microbial cells and extracellular polymeric substances in the biofilm. The dominant phylotypes potentially responsible for Pd(II) reduction at circumneutral pH were denitrifying β-proteobacteria mainly consisting of the family Rhodocyclaceae. Though greatly shifted by acidic pH, the biofilm microbial community largely bounced back when the pH was returned to 7 within 2 weeks. These discoveries infer that the biofilm was capable of rapid adaptive evolution to stressed environmental change, and facilitated Pd recovery in versatile ways. This study demonstrates the promise of effective microbially driven Pd recovery in a single MBfR system that could be applied for the treatment of the waste streams, and it documents the role of biofilms in this reduction and recovery process.

Abstract
This is the first report that demonstrates the ability of anaerobic methanogenic granular sludge to reduce Pd(II) to Pd(0). Different electron donors were evaluated for their effectiveness in promoting Pd reduction. Formate and H2 fostered both chemically and biologically mediated Pd reduction. Ethanol only promoted the reduction of Pd(II) under biotic conditions and the reduction was likely mediated by H2 released from ethanol fermentation. No reduction was observed in biotic or abiotic assays with all other substrates tested (acetate, lactate and pyruvate) although a large fraction of the total Pd was removed from the liquid medium likely due to biosorption. Pd(II) displayed severe inhibition towards acetoclastic and hydrogenotrophic methanogens, as indicated by 50% inhibiting concentrations as low as 0.96 and 2.7 mg/L, respectively. The results obtained indicate the potential of utilizing anaerobic granular sludge bioreactor technology as a practical and promising option for Pd(II) reduction and recovery offering advantages over pure cultures.

Abstract
The increased development of green low-carbon energy technologies that require platinum group metals (PGMs) and rare earth elements (REEs), together with the geopolitical challenges to sourcing these metals, has spawned major governmental and industrial efforts to rectify current supply insecurities. As a result of the increasing critical importance of PGMs and REEs, environmentally sustainable approaches to recover these metals from primary ores and secondary streams are needed. In this review, we define the sources and waste streams from which PGMs and REEs can potentially be sustainably recovered using microorganisms, and discuss the metal-microbe interactions most likely to form the basis of different environmentally friendly recovery processes. Finally, we highlight the research needed to address challenges to applying the necessary microbiology for metal recovery given the physical and chemical complexities of specific streams.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Biopalladium (bioPd(0)) nanoparticles on Klebsiella Pneumoniae ECU-15 were synthesized mainly on the microorganism's surface. Data suggest that the resistance of mass transfer around the cell surface region plays a critical role in bioPd(0) synthesis process. However, the mechanisms for its role remains elusive.
Results
The experimental results indicated that 1) diffusion resistance existed around the microorganism's cell in reaction vessel and 2) fluid shear stress affected the mass transfer rates differently according to its strength and thus had varying effects on the bioPd(0) synthesis. More than 97.9 ± 1.5% Chromium(VI)(Cr(VI)) (384 μM) was reduced to Cr(III) within 20 min with 5% Pd/bioPd(0) as catalyst, which was generated by the K. Pneumoniae ECU-15, and the catalytic performance of Pd/bioPd(0) was stable over 6 months. The optimal condition of bioreduction of Pd(II) to Pd(0) was determined at the Kolmogorov eddy length of 7.33 ± 0.5 μm and lasted for 1 h in the extended reduction process after the usual adsorption and reduction process.
Conclusions
It is concluded that a high bioPd(0) catalytic activity can be achieved by controlling the fluid shear stress intensity in an extended reduction process in the bioreactor.

Abstract
Palladium(II) reduction to Pd(0) nanoparticles by Geobacter sulfurreducens was explored under conditions of neutral pH, 30 °C and concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 mg of Pd(II)/L aiming to investigate the effect of solid species of palladium on their microbial reduction. The influence of anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate was reported to enhance the palladium reaction rate in an average of 1.7-fold and its addition is determining to achieve the reduction of solid species of palladium. Based on the obtained results two mechanisms are proposed: (1) direct, which is fully described considering interactions of amide, sulfur, and phosphoryl groups associated to proteins from bacteria on palladium reduction reaction, and (2) quinone-mediated, which implies multiheme c-type cytochromes participation. Speciation analysis and kinetic results were considered and integrated into a model to fit the experimental data that explain both mechanisms. This work provides elements for a better understanding of direct and quinone-mediated palladium reduction by G. sulfurreducens, which could facilitate metal recovery with concomitant formation of valuable palladium nanoparticles in industrial processes.

Abstract
Biogenic catalysts have been studied over the last 10 years in freshwater and soil environments, but neither their formation nor their application has been explored in marine ecosystems. The objective of this study was to develop a biogenic nanopalladium-based remediation method for reducing chlorinated hydrocarbons from marine environments by employing indigenous marine bacteria. Thirty facultative aerobic marine strains were isolated from two contaminated sites, the Lagoon of Mar Chica, Morocco, and Priolo Gargallo Syracuse, Italy. Eight strains showed concurrent palladium precipitation and biohydrogen production. X-ray diffraction and thin section transmission electron microscopy analysis indicated the presence of metallic Pd nanoparticles of various sizes (5-20 nm) formed either in the cytoplasm, in the periplasmic space, or extracellularly. These biogenic catalysts were used to dechlorinate trichloroethylene in simulated marine environments. Complete dehalogenation of 20 mg L(-1) trichloroethylene was achieved within 1 h using 50 mg L(-1) biogenic nanopalladium. These biogenic nanoparticles are promising developments for future marine bioremediation applications.
