Abstract
Enterobacter sp. are widely used in bioremediation, but the mechanism of Cadmium (Cd) toxicity in Enterobacter sp. has been poorly studied. In the present study, we determined the tolerance of Enterobacter sp. FM-1 to Cd by analyzing the physiological and biochemical responses of FM-1 induced under Cd stress. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) under exposure to different Cd environments were analyzed by 4D-label-free proteomics to provide a comprehensive understanding of Cd toxicity in FM-1. The greatest total number of DEPs, 1148, was found in the High concentration vs. Control comparison group at 10 h. When protein expression was compared after different incubation times, FM-1 showed the highest Cd tolerance at 48 h. Additionally, with an increasing incubation time, different comparison groups gradually began to show similar growth patterns, which was reflected in the GO enrichment analysis. Notably, only 815 proteins were identified in the High concentration vs. Control group, and KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that these proteins were significantly enriched in the pyruvate metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, peroxisome, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and citrate cycle pathways. These results suggested that an increased incubation time allows FM-1 adapt and survive in an environment with Cd toxicity, and protein expression significantly increased in response to oxidative stress in a Cd-contaminated environment during the pre-growth period. This study provides new perspectives on bacterial participation in bioremediation and expands our understanding of the mechanism of bacterial resistance under Cd exposure.

Silva ADM, Sousa J, Hultberg M, Figueiredo SA, Freitas OM, Delerue-Matos C. Fluoxetine Removal from Aqueous Solutions Using a Lignocellulosic Substrate Colonized by the White-Rot Fungus Pleurotus ostreatus. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19052672. [PMID: 35270364 PMCID: PMC8910386 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19052672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
One of the main challenges in both the design of new wastewater treatment plants and the expansion and improvement of existing ones is the removal of emerging pollutants. Therefore, the search for economic and sustainable treatments is needed to enhance the removal of pharmaceuticals. The potential of a lignocellulosic substrate colonized by Pleurotus ostreatus, a waste from mushroom production, to remove fluoxetine from aqueous solutions was studied. Batch assays were performed to remove 600 µg∙L−1 fluoxetine from aqueous solutions using the colonized mushroom substrate (CMS) and crude enzyme extracts. The removal efficiencies achieved were, respectively, ≥83.1% and 19.6% in 10 min. Batch assays with sterilized CMS and 1-aminobenzotriazole (to inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes) showed that the higher removal efficiencies achieved in the CMS assays may be attributed to the synergistic contribution of biosorption onto the CMS and lignin modifying enzymes activity, namely laccase activity. A column assay was performed with the CMS, fed with 750 µg∙L−1 fluoxetine aqueous solution. The removal efficiency was 100% during 30 min, decreasing to a final value of 70% after 8 h of operation. The results suggested that CMS can be a promising eco-friendly alternative to remove fluoxetine from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) can pose a potential toxic threat to human beings and the environment. P. ostreatus, as one of the typical white-rot fungi, can effectively degrade various refractory pollutants. The biodegradable characteristics of DBDPE by P. ostreatus, as well as the mechanisms, and toxicological response were investigated in this study. The removal rate reached 47.73% and 43.20%, respectively, for 5 and 20 mg/L DBDPE after 120-h degradation by P. ostreatus. As a coexisting substance, Pb could inhibit the biodegradation. It is found that both the intracellular enzyme (P450) and extracellular enzymes (manganese peroxidase (MnP), lignin peroxidase (LiP), and laccase (Lac)) played a very important role in the biodegradation of DBDPE, of which Lac dominated the degradation. The toxic response was monitored during the degradation. The activities of SOD and CAT were enhanced to eliminate excess ROS in P. ostreatus triggered by DBDPE. In addition, debromination, hydroxylation, and oxidation were inferred as the main degradation pathways preliminarily. The findings provide a theoretical basis for the application of microbial degradation of DBDPE contamination.

Response of microorganisms to phosphate nanoparticles in Pb polluted sediment: Implications of Pb bioavailability, enzyme activities and bacterial community. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131643.

Abstract
In recent years, various phosphate nanoparticles (PNPs) have been synthesized and applied for in situ Pb remediation in laboratory investigations. Here, three kinds of PNPs, CMC-nClAP (carboxymethyl cellulose stabilized nano-chlorapatite), SDS-nClAP (sodium dodecyl sulfate stabilized nano-chlorapatite) and Rha-nClAP (rhamnolipid stabilized nano-chlorapatite) were used to investigate the influence of PNPs on Pb bioavailability, enzyme activities and bacterial community in Pb polluted sediment. Pb bioavailability can be reduced by the application of CMC-nClAP, SDS-nClAP and Rha-nClAP with the maximum increases of residual fraction to 57.2 %, 58.3 % and 61.4 %, respectively. Alternatively, catalase activity, urease activity and protease activity also changed with the remediation of PNPs. Microbes responded quickly to PNPs in different ways: bacterial richness was all increased while bacterial diversity was only increased with the application of SDS-nClAP. Three dominant species, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were redistributed differentially during the treatment of PNPs. Interestingly, PNPs didn't significantly change the bacterial community structure in treated samples and CMC-nClAP induced fewer changes in microbial activity and community as compared with SDS-nClAP and Rha-nClAP. Overall, our findings suggested that long-term exposure to PNPs would decrease Pb bioavailability, regulate enzyme activities and affect bacterial community in sediments. The Pb bioavailability, physical-chemical properties of PNPs and properties of chemical/bio-surfactant may determine the response of microorganisms to PNPs in Pb polluted sediment.

Abstract
Bioremediation of contaminated soils has gained increasing interest in recent years as a low-cost and environmentally friendly technology to clean soils polluted with anthropogenic contaminants. However, some organic pollutants in soil have a low biodegradability or are not bioavailable, which hampers the use of bioremediation for their removal. This is the case of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which normally are stable and hydrophobic chemical structures. In this review, several approaches for the decontamination of PAH-polluted soil are presented and discussed in detail. The use of compost as biostimulation- and bioaugmentation-coupled technologies are described in detail, and some parameters, such as the stability of compost, deserve special attention to obtain better results. Composting as an ex situ technology, with the use of some specific products like surfactants, is also discussed. In summary, the use of compost and composting are promising technologies (in all the approaches presented) for the bioremediation of PAH-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) have caused large challenges in clinical tests and biomedical applications due to their potential toxicity from nanosize effects and heavy metal components. In this study, the physiological responses of Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P. chrysosporium) to CdSe/ZnS QDs with either an inorganic sulfide NaHS or an organic sulfide cysteine as antidote have been investigated. Scanning electron microscope analysis showed that the hyphal structure and morphology of P. chrysosporium have obviously changed after exposure to 100 nM of COOH CdSe/ZnS 505, NH2 CdSe/ZnS 505, NH2 CdSe/ZnS 565, or NH2 CdSe/ZnS 625. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis indicated that the existence of hydroxyl, amino, and carboxyl groups on cell surface could possibly conduct the stabilization of QDs in an aqueous medium. However, after NaHS or cysteine treatment, the cell viability of P. chrysosporium exposed to CdSe/ZnS QDs increased as compared to control group, since NaHS and cysteine have assisted P. chrysosporium to alleviate oxidative damage by regulating lipid peroxidation and superoxide production. Meanwhile, NaHS and cysteine have also stimulated P. chrysosporium to produce more antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and catalase), which played significant roles in the defense system. In addition, NaHS and cysteine were used by P. chrysosporium as sulfide sources to promote the glutathione biosynthesis to relieve CdSe/ZnS QDs-induced oxidative stress. This work revealed that sulfide sources (NaHS and cysteine) exerted a strong positive effect in P. chrysosporium against the toxicity induced by CdSe/ZnS QDs.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) pollution is getting more and more serious in phosphate mining wastelands recently. However, seldom studies focused on the bioremediation of Pb pollution in phosphate mining wastelands by phosphate-solubilizing bacterium (PSB). In this study, a PSB named LA with high Pb tolerance was isolated from a phosphate mining wasteland. Based on its cell morphology, physiology, and phylogenetic analysis, it was identified as Pseudomonas sp. Its capabilities to solubilize mid-low-grade phosphate rock (PR) and immobilize Pb were assessed in this study. It was found that LA could effectively solubilize PR on PKO culture medium and release soluble phosphate in the culture medium. PR solubilization and Pb immobilization were investigated at different initial Pb concentrations and pH levels. The results showed that soluble phosphate was highly effective in immobilizing Pb and that when the initial concentration of Pb2+ was 100 mg/L, the immobilization rate of Pb was enhanced. Further, the mechanisms underlying solubilization of PR and biomineralization of Pb ions in LA were evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that some functional groups on the PR surface and LA were altered, and LA could form hydroxyapatite and pyrophosphate with Pb ions.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the potential ecological risk and the toxic effect of landfill leachate (LL), Phanerochaete chrysosporium was exposed to LL and their biochemical response was observed by using antioxidant parameters. Phanerochaete chrysosporium, ME 446, was kept at 4 °C after being sub-cultured at 28 °C on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA). Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities, and malaondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels of P. chrysosporium exposed to different dilution rates of leachate (1/10 and 1/20) for 24 and 96 h were analyzed by using the ELISA method. The physiochemical parameters such as pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD) of leachate, and reference water were analyzed by using the YSI Professional Plus handheld multiparameter meter. In this study, SOD activities were decreased in the application groups compared with the Control Group at the 24th and 96th hours. CAT activities and GSH levels increased in the application groups compared with the Control Group at the 24th hour but decreased at the 96th hours. MDA levels increased in all of the application groups when compared with the Control Group for both 24 and 96 h. Different concentration of LL induces oxidative stress in P. chrysosporium, increased CAT activity and MDA levels, and decreased SOD activity and GSH levels.

Abstract
Due to recalcitrance of some pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), conventional wastewater treatment is not able to remove them effectively. Therefore, their occurrence in surface water and potential environmental impact has raised serious global concern. Biological transformation of these contaminants using white-rot fungi (WRF) and their oxidoreductase enzymes has been proposed as a low cost and environmentally friendly solution for water treatment. The removal performance of PhACs by a fungal culture is dependent on several factors, such as fungal species, the secreted enzymes, molecular structure of target compounds, culture medium composition, etc. In recent 20 years, numerous researchers tried to elucidate the removal mechanisms and the effects of important operational parameters such as temperature and pH on the enzymatic treatment of PhACs. This review summarizes and analyzes the studies performed on PhACs removal from spiked pure water and real wastewaters using oxidoreductase enzymes and the data related to degradation efficiencies of the most studied compounds. The review also offers an insight into enzymes immobilization, fungal reactors, mediators, degradation mechanisms and transformation products (TPs) of PhACs. In brief, higher hydrophobicity and having electron-donating groups, such as amine and hydroxyl in molecular structure leads to more effective degradation of PhACs by fungal cultures. For recalcitrant compounds, using redox mediators, such as syringaldehyde increases the degradation efficiency, however they may cause toxicity in the effluent and deactivate the enzyme. Immobilization of enzymes on supports can enhance the performance of enzyme in terms of reusability and stability. However, the immobilization strategy should be carefully selected to reduce the cost and enable regeneration. Still, further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms involved in enzymatic degradation and the toxicity levels of TPs and also to optimize the whole treatment strategy to have economical and technical competitiveness.

Abstract
Bacillus vallismortis (B. vallismortis), an aerobic heterotrophic bacteria, was screened in a laboratory pilot study, to assess the interaction between the heavy metal Zn(II) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The influence of Zn(II) stress on EPS production, component variation, and sorption performance, was investigated. The characteristics of B. vallismortis EPS formed under stress were analyzed using FTIR, 3D-EEM and XPS. EPS was used as an adsorbent and the adsorption capacity and adsorption behavior of EPS formed with and without Zn(II) stress, were compared and assessed. Results showed that the production of polysaccharides and proteins, the main components of EPS, were promoted under Zn(II) stress. The types of EPS functional groups observed remained the same with and without heavy metal stress, but their concentrations were increased. Due to stress-induction, the adsorption capacity of Zn-EPS was significantly enhanced compared with the control-EPS. Specific EPS produced by B. vallismortis in the presence of Zn(II) stress, could have a wide range of potential applications, allowing optimization and improvement of the capacity of EPS to remove heavy metals from effluent.

Abstract
Phosphate (P) compounds are usually used as chemical amendment for in situ remediation of heavy metal polluted sediment. However, the low deliverability, weak utilization and potential risk of eutrophication inhibit the application of most P materials. Therefore, rhamnolipid (Rha), a kind of anionic biosurfactant which has algicidal activity, was employed in this study to synthesize a new kind of nano-chlorapatite (nClAP) for Pb and Cd immobilization. Characterization results showed that the Rha stablized nClAP (Rha-nClAP) was uniformly distributed in suspensions within about 5nm. Experimental data demonstrated that the combination of Rha and nClAP could greatly enhance the Pb- and Cd-immobilization efficiencies, promoting their transformation from labile fractions to stable fractions through precipitation or adsorption processes, especially when the Rha approached to its critical micelle concentration. And Rha-nClAP could also decrease both the TCLP-leachable Pb and Cd with maximum reduction efficiencies of 98.12% and 96.24%, respectively, which also presented concentration dependence of Rha. Changes of available phosphorus implied the dissolution of nClAP during the treatment and the detection of organic matter demonstrated that the microorganisms may involve in the remediation.

WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2018; 72:138-149. [PMID: 29183697 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2017.11.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2017] [Revised: 10/08/2017] [Accepted: 11/16/2017] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
Large numbers of organic pollutants (OPs), such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides and petroleum, are discharged into soil, posing a huge threat to natural environment. Traditional chemical and physical remediation technologies are either incompetent or expensive, and may cause secondary pollution. The technology of soil composting or use of compost as soil amendment can utilize quantities of active microbes to degrade OPs with the help of available nutrients in the compost matrix. It is highly cost-effective for soil remediation. On the one hand, compost incorporated into contaminated soil is capable of increasing the organic matter content, which improves the soil environment and stimulates the metabolically activity of microbial community. On the other hand, the organic matter in composts would increase the adsorption of OPs and affect their bioavailability, leading to decreased fraction available for microorganism-mediated degradation. Some advanced instrumental analytical approaches developed in recent years may be adopted to expound this process. Therefore, the study on bioavailability of OPs in soil is extremely important for the application of composting technology. This work will discuss the changes of physical and chemical properties of contaminated soils and the bioavailability of OPs by the adsorption of composting matrix. The characteristics of OPs, types and compositions of compost amendments, soil/compost ratio and compost distribution influence the bioavailability of OPs. In addition, the impact of composting factors (composting temperature, co-substrates and exogenous microorganisms) on the removal and bioavailability of OPs is also studied.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) can interfere with endocrine systems and bio-accumulate through the food chain and even decrease biodiversity in contaminated areas. This review discusses a critical overview of recent research progress in the biotransformation of EDCs (including polychlorinated biphenyl and nonylphenol, and suspected EDCs such as heavy metals and sulfonamide antibiotics) by white rot fungi (WRF) based on techniques with an emphasis on summarizing and analyzing fungal molecular, metabolic and genetic mechanisms. Not only intracellular metabolism which seems to perform essential roles in the ability of WRF to transform EDCs, but also advanced applications are deeply discussed. This review mainly reveals the removal pathway of heavy metal and antibiotic pollutants because the single pollution almost did not exist in a real environment while the combined pollution has become more serious and close to people's life. The trends in WRF technology and its related advanced applications which use the combined technology, including biocatalysis of WRF and adsorption of nanomaterials, to degrade EDCs have also been introduced. Furthermore, challenges and future research needs EDCs biotransformation by WRF are also discussed. This research, referring to metabolic mechanisms and the combined technology of WRF with nanomaterials, undoubtedly contributes to the applications of biotechnology. This review will be of great benefit to an understanding of the trends in biotechnology for the removal of EDCs.

Precipitation, adsorption and rhizosphere effect: The mechanisms for Phosphate-induced Pb immobilization in soils-A review. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2017; 339:354-367.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) is one of the most toxic heavy metals that pose a direct threat to organisms and it can not been degraded through microbial activities or chemical reaction. Bioavaibility and eco-toxicity of Pb which mostly depend on Pb chemical speciation play an important role in the remediation of Pb-contaminated soils. Phosphate (P) amendments which could transfer Pb from unstable fraction to stable fraction are commonly used to immobilize Pb in soils and have been extensively studied by researchers during decades. Based on the previous study, it can be concluded that three principal mechanisms may be responsible for P-induced Pb immobilization: 1) the precipitation of Pb-phosphates, including direct precipitation, ion-exchange (or substitution) effect and liming effect; 2) the adsorption of Pb, including the direct adsorption and the adsorption of Pb to iron (hydr)oxides; 3) the rhizosphere effect, including acidification effect and mycorrhizae effect. In this review, these mechanisms have been completely discussed and the internal relationships among them were summarized to give a better understanding of P-induced Pb immobilization in soils and promote the development of P-based remediation technology.

Abstract
The marriage of biology with nanomaterials has significantly accelerated advancement of biological techniques, profoundly facilitating practical applications in biomedical fields. With unique optical properties (e.g., tunable broad excitation, narrow emission spectra, robust photostability, and high quantum yield), fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) have been reasonably functionalized with controllable interfaces and extensively used as a new class of optical probe in biological researches. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in synthesis and properties of QDs. Moreover, we provide an overview of the outstanding potential of QDs for biomedical research and innovative methods of drug delivery. Specifically, the applications of QDs as novel fluorescent nanomaterials for biomedical sensing and imaging have been detailedly highlighted and discussed. In addition, recent concerns on potential toxicity of QDs are also introduced, ranging from cell researches to animal models.

Abstract
During the past years, efforts have been made to deal with the Pb contaminated sediment in Xiawangang River in Hunan province, China, but it remains a serious problem since the smelting pollutants were accumulated. According to previous studies, phosphate showed an effective ability to transfer labile Pb to pyromorphite (Pb5(PO4)3X, X=F, Cl, Br, OH) but its application was limited by its solubility and deliverability. Hence a new class of nano-chlorapatite was synthesized by using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a stabilizer and characterized by TEM, FESEM, DLS, FTIR, and EDAX. Results demonstrated that the SDS stabilized nano-chlorapatite (SDS-nClAP) was in spherical or spheroidal shape with a hydrodynamic diameter of 40.4nm. Experimental data suggested that SDS-nClAP was effective in transforming labile Pb to stable fraction with a maximum increase of 38.3%, also the reduction of TCLP-leachable Pb from 0.30 to 0mg/L after 45-d treatment. The increase of available phosphorus in both SDS-nClAP and ClAP treated sediment samples verified dissolution-precipitation mechanism involved in Pb immobilization. Additionally, the increment of organic matter in 10:1 treated samples was approximately 5-fold than that in 2:1 treated samples, which revealed that the micro-organisms may play an important role in it.
