Abstract
Industrialization and urbanization increased the use of chemicals in agriculture, vehicular emissions, etc., and spoiled all environmental sectors. It causes various problems among living beings at multiple levels and concentrations. Phytoremediation and microbial association are emerging as a potential method for removing heavy metals and other contaminants from soil. The treatment uses plant physiology and metabolism to remove or clean up various soil contaminants efficiently. In recent years, omics and artificial intelligence have been seen as powerful techniques for phytobial remediation. Recently, AI and modeling are used to analyze large data generated by omics technologies. Machine learning algorithms can be used to develop predictive models that can help guide the selection of the most appropriate plant and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria combination that is most effective at remediation. In this review, emphasis is given to the phytoremediation techniques being explored worldwide in soil contamination.

Tao Y, Zhang Q, Long S, Li X, Chen J, Li X. Shifts of lipid metabolites help decode immobilization of soil cadmium under reductive soil disinfestation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 829:154592. [PMID: 35314227 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Revised: 02/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in soil can cause serious environmental problems and threaten human health. Previous studies have shown that the reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) is regarded as an effective soil disinfection technology, which will affect the bioavailability of Cd. However, the influence of soil microorganisms and their metabolites on the morphologies of Cd during RSD treatment are still poorly understood. Here, a laboratory incubation experiment that composed of untreated soil (CK), two RSD treatments with flooded soil (FL) and added 2% bean dregs soil (BD) was conducted. After the treatment, the content of different morphologies of Cd in the soil and the molecular characteristics (the composition of the microbial community, functional enzymes and metabolites) of the soil were measured. The study found that, compared to CK treatment, the dominant phyla, such as Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, etc., were significantly increased in BD treatment, and enzymes related to metabolism also showed noticeable enhancement. The differential accumulated metabolite (DAM) analysis revealed that the abound of lipids and lipid-like molecules involved with fatty acyls, steroids and steroid derivatives, glycerophospholipids, fatty acids and conjugates, glycerolipids, and sphingolipids were significant different among treatments. The correlation analysis showed the exchangeable fraction cadmium contents (EX-Cd) were negatively correlated with the content of glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids, and positively correlated with glycerolipids content. However, the relationship between the residual cadmium (RS-Cd) and these three metabolites was just the opposite. Compared with another two treatments, the BD treatment significantly reduced EX-Cd contents. Biological interaction network analysis indicated that the phyla Gemmatimonadetes and Proteobacteria assumed the primary responsibility for the morphological transformation of Cd through their corresponding functional enzymes. Overall, this study provided a new perspective on RSD-mediated soil Cd immobilization, and the findings should be beneficial to further applications of RSD technology on the remediation of Cd-polluted soils.

J Environ Sci (China) 2022; 116:90-102.

Abstract
The association between the rhizospheric microbial community and Cd accumulation in rice is poorly understood. A field trial was conducted to investigate the different rhizobacterial communities of two rice cultivars with high Cd accumulation (HA) and low Cd accumulation (LA) at four growth stages. Results showed that the Cd content in the roots of the HA cultivar was 1.23 - 27.53 higher than that of the LA cultivar (0.08 - 10.5 µg/plant) at four stages. The LA cultivar had a significantly lower Cd availability in rhizosphere and a higher quantity of iron plaque (IP) on the root surface than the HA cultivar at four stages. This resulted in the reduction of Cd concentration in IPs and Cd translocation from IP-to-root. Microbial analysis indicated that the LA cultivar formed a distinct rhizobacterial community from the HA cultivar and had less α-diversity. The rhizosphere of the LA cultivar was enriched in specific bacterial taxa (e.g., Massilia and Bacillus) involved in Cd immobilization by phosphate precipitation and IP formation by iron oxidization. However, the rhizosphere in the HA cultivar assembled abundant sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (e.g., Sulfuricurvum) and iron reduction bacteria (Geobacter). They promoted Cd mobilization and reduced IP formation via the metal redox process. This study reveals a potential approach in which specific rhizobacteria decrease or increase Cd accumulation in rice on contaminated soil and provides a new perspective for secure rice production.

Feng Z, Rui P, Lifeng W, Huidan J. Iron and sulfur reduction caused by different growth seasons inhibits cadmium transfer in the soil-rice system. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2022; 236:113479. [PMID: 35366561 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.113479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 03/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Effects of iron and sulfur redox states in the soil caused by different growth seasons on Cd uptake by rice remain unclear. In this study, three early rice cultivars and three late rice cultivars were cultivated in a double-cropping system in Cd-contaminated paddy fields. The total Cd accumulation of early rice cultivars was 20.5-51.1 µg plant-1, and the Cd concentration in grains was 0.19-0.73 mg kg-1, significantly lower than those of late rice cultivars by 8-15 times and 3-9 times, respectively. The filling and mature stages were identified as the most crucial stages of Cd uptake by both early and late rice cultivars. The growth season of early rice cultivars was characterized by more abundant rainfall and lower soil Eh than that for late rice cultivars. Therefore, the abundances of Fe-reducing bacteria (FeRB, 36.9-39%) and S-reducing bacteria (SRB, 1.77-2.79%) were higher during the filling and mature stages of early rice. They primarily belonged to the Clostridium, Geobacter, and Desulfuromonadales genera. Stimulation of FeRB and SRB activity promoted Fe(III) and S reduction and increased the content of Fe2+ and S2- in rhizosphere soil. This promoted the binding of Cd to amorphous Fe oxides and sulfides or Fe sulfides, thereby decreasing the available Cd content. Moreover, the Cd in the iron plaque (IP) and Cd transfer from IP to roots were lower in early rice. These findings suggest that maintaining high moisture content in the soil during the filling and mature stages, especially for late rice cultivars, could efficiently reduce Cd uptake by rice planted in contaminated soil.

Ren C, Teng Y, Chen X, Shen Y, Xiao H, Wang H. Impacts of earthworm introduction and cadmium on microbial communities composition and function in soil. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2021; 83:103606. [PMID: 33545380 DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2021.103606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2020] [Revised: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Heavy metal contamination of soil has become a public concern. Earthworms are key players in the functioning and service of soil ecosystems, with comprehension of their introduction in the polluted soil offering new insights into the protection of soil resources. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of earthworm (Eisenia fetida) introduction and Cd (0, 10, 30, and 60 mg kg-1 of Cd) exposure upon soil microbial community using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Our research demonstrated that Gemmatimonadetes and Deinococcus-Thermus upregulated significantly, while Chryseolinea showed an obvious decreasing trend after earthworm introduction. In Cd contaminated soil, many genera exhibited a greater presence of Cd-dependent bacteria, namely Cd-tolerant bacteria such as Altererythrobacter and Luteimonas, and a decrease of sensitive bacteria, such as Amaricoccus and Haliangium. Moreover, functional prediction analysis of soil microbiota indicated that earthworm introduction and Cd exposure changed functional pathways of soil microorganisms. The results obtained in this study are beneficial for understanding soil microbial community impacted by earthworm, and for exploring Cd resistant or tolerant bacteria, with potentially significant findings for soil biodiversity and Cd bioremediation.
