The use of immobilised bacteria cross-linked within magnetic alginate beads enhances the treatment of benzophenone-type UV filter chemicals by the SBR system. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 334:139038. [PMID: 37244550 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
Benzophenone-n compounds (BPs) are applied in a broad spectrum of commercial products, one of which is sunscreen. These chemicals are frequently detected in a variety of environmental matrices worldwide, especially water bodies. BPs are defined as emerging contaminants as well as endocrine-disrupting contaminants; thus, it has become necessary to develop aggressive and green treatments to remove BPs. In this study, we used immobilised BP-biodegrading bacteria linked to reusable magnetic alginate beads (MABs). The MABs were added to a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system to enhance the removal of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone (BP-1) and oxybenzone (BP-3) from sewage. The BP-1 and BP-3 biodegrading bacteria in the MABs consisted of strains from up to three genera to allow for efficient biodegradation. The strains used were Pseudomonas spp., Gordonia sp., and Rhodococcus sp. The optimal composition of the MABs consisted of 3% (w/v) alginate and 10% (w/v) magnetite. The MABs resulted in 60.8%-81.7% recovery by weight after 28 days, and there was a continuous release of bacteria. Moreover, the biological treatment of the BPs sewage improved after adding 100 g of BP1-MABs (1:27) and also 100 g BP3-MABs (1:27) into the SBR system at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 8 h. Compared with the SBR system without MABs, the removal rates of BP-1 and BP-3 increased from 64.2% to 71.5% and from 78.1% to 84.1%, respectively. Furthermore, the COD removal increased from 36.1% to 42.1%, and total nitrogen increased from 30.5% to 33.2%. Total phosphorus remained constant at 29%. The bacterial community analysis showed that the Pseudomonas population was <2% before the MAB addition, but increased to 56.1% by day 14. In contrast, the Gordonia sp. And Rhodococcus sp. Populations (<2%) remained unchanged throughout the 14-day treatment period.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP)-coated (immobilized) bacteria are an effective method for treating environmental pollution due to their multifarious benefits. This review collates a vast amount of existing literature on organic pollution treatment using NP-coated bacteria. We discuss the features of bacteria, NPs, and decoration techniques of NP-bacteria assemblies, with special attention given to the surface modification of NPs and connection mechanisms between NPs and cells. Furthermore, the performance of NP-coated bacteria was examined. We summarize the factors that affect bioremediation efficiency using coated bacteria, including pH, temperature, and agitation, and the possible mechanisms involving them are proposed. From future perspectives, suitable surface modification of NPs and wide application in real practice will make the NP-coated bacterial technology a viable treatment strategy.

Abstract
Background 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is a very toxic aromatic compound for humans and the environment and is highly resistant to degradation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop efficient remediation and cost-effective approaches to this pollutant. Microbial enzymes such as laccases can degrade phenols, but limited information is known about immobilized bacterial laccase and their reuse. Methods Immobilization of marine halophilic Bacillus subtilis AAK cultures via entrapment and adsorption techniques and degradation of different phenolic compounds by immobilized cells were estimated. Partial purification and immobilization of laccase enzymes were carried out. In addition, the biodegradation of 2,4-DCP and others contaminated by wastewater was investigated. Results Immobilization of cells and partially purified laccase enzymes by adsorption into 3% alginate increased 2,4-DCP biotransformation compared with free cells and free enzymes. In addition, the reuse of both the immobilized culture and laccase enzymes was evaluated. The highest removal of 2,4-DCP from pulp and paper wastewater samples inoculated by immobilized cells and the immobilized enzyme was 90% and 95%, respectively, at 50 h and 52 h of incubation, compared to free cells and free enzyme. Conclusion The results of this study have revealed the immobilization of a biocatalyst and its laccase enzyme as a promising technique for enhancing the degradation of 2,4-DCP and other toxic phenolic and aromatic compounds. The reuse of the biocatalyst and its laccase enzyme enabled the application of this cost-effective bioremediation strategy.

Genomic Analysis of Carbapenem-Resistant Comamonas in Water Matrices: Implications for Public Health and Wastewater Treatments. Appl Environ Microbiol 2022; 88:e0064622.

Abstract
Comamonas spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that catabolize a wide range of organic and inorganic substrates. Comamonas spp. are abundant in aquatic and soil environments, including wastewater, and can cause opportunistic infections in humans. Because of their potential in wastewater bioaugmentation and bioremediation strategies, the identification of Comamonas species harboring genes encoding carbapenemases and other clinically important antibiotic resistance genes warrant further investigation. Here, we present an analysis of 39 whole-genome sequences comprising three Comamonas species from aquatic environments in South Australia that were recovered on media supplemented with carbapenems. The analysis includes a detailed description of 33 Comamonas denitrificans isolates, some of which carried chromosomally acquired blaGES-5, blaOXA, and aminoglycoside resistance (aadA) genes located on putative genomic islands (GIs). All blaGES-5- and blaOXA-containing GIs appear to be unique to this Australian collection of C. denitrificans. Notably, most open reading frames (ORFs) within the GIs, including all antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, had adjacent attC sites, indicating that these ORFs are mobile gene cassettes. One C. denitrificans isolate carried an IncP-1 plasmid with genes involved in xenobiotic degradation and response to oxidative stress. Our assessment of the sequences highlights the very distant nature of C. denitrificans to the other Comamonas species and its apparent disposition to acquire antimicrobial resistance genes on putative genomic islands. IMPORTANCE Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global public health threat, and the increase in resistance to "last-resort drugs," such as carbapenems, is alarming. Wastewater has been flagged as a hot spot for AMR evolution. Comamonas spp. are among the most common bacteria in wastewater and play a role in its bioaugmentation. While the ability of Comamonas species to catabolize a wide range of organic and inorganic substrates is well documented, some species are also opportunistic pathogens. However, data regarding AMR in Comamonas spp. are limited. Here, through the genomic analyses of 39 carbapenem-resistant Comamonas isolates, we make several key observations, including the identification of a subset of C. denitrificans isolates that harbored genomic islands encoding carbapenemase blaGES-5 or extended-spectrum β-lactamase blaOXA alleles. Given the importance of Comamonas species in potential wastewater bioaugmentation and bioremediation strategies, as well as their status as emerging pathogens, the acquisition of critically important antibiotic resistance genes on genomic islands warrants future monitoring.

Abstract
To isolate bacteria responsible for the biodegradation of naphthalene, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-, m-, and p-xylene), and aliphatic hydrocarbons in petroleum-contaminated soil, three enrichment cultures were established using soil extract as the medium supplemented with naphthalene, BTEX, or n-hexadecane. Community analyses showed that Paraburkholderia species were predominant in naphthalene and BTEX, but relatively minor in n-hexadecane. Paraburkholderia aromaticivorans BN5 was able to degrade naphthalene and all BTEX compounds, but not n-hexadecane. The genome of strain BN5 harbors genes encoding 29 monooxygenases including two alkane 1-monooxygenases and 54 dioxygenases, indicating that strain BN5 has versatile metabolic capabilities, for diverse organic compounds: the ability of strain BN5 to degrade short chain aliphatic hydrocarbons was verified experimentally. The biodegradation pathways of naphthalene and BTEX compounds were bioinformatically predicted and verified experimentally through the analysis of their metabolic intermediates. Some genomic features including the encoding of the biodegradation genes on a plasmid and the low sequence homologies of biodegradation-related genes suggest that biodegradation potentials of strain BN5 may have been acquired via horizontal gene transfers and/or gene duplication, resulting in enhanced ecological fitness by enabling strain BN5 to degrade all compounds including naphthalene, BTEX, and short aliphatic hydrocarbons in contaminated soil.

Abstract
In this study, the pyridine and quinoline could be cometabolically degraded by phenol-cultivated Comamonas sp. strain JB(strain JB). The integration of magnetically immobilized cells of JB and an E-Fenton process into one entity has been designed to prepare a novel integration system to improve the treatment efficiency of phenol, pyridine, and quinoline in coking wastewater. The optimal pH for the integration system was 3.5. Degradation rates of phenol, pyridine, quinoline, and COD by the integration system were significantly exceeded the sum degradation rates of the single E-Fenton process and magnetically immobilized cells at the optimal voltage of 1 V. During the 6 cycles, the integration system still showed higher degradation rates than that by the single magnetically immobilized cells for all the compounds. These findings demonstrated that a synergistic effect existed between the biological treatment and the E-Fenton process, and the applied voltage in the integration system played the key roles in the synergistic effect, which not only electrogenerated H2O2 but also improved the activity of phenol hydroxylase and strain JB concentration.

Abstract
A novel integrated system in which magnetically immobilized cells coupled with a pair of stainless iron meshes-graphite plate electrodes has been designed and operated to enhance the treatment performance of phenolic wastewater under high salinity. With NaCl concentration increased, phenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, p-cresol and COD removal rates by integrated system increased significantly, which were obviously higher than the sum of removal rates by single magnetically immobilized cells and electrode reaction. This integrated system exhibited higher removal rates for all the compounds than that by single magnetically immobilized cells during six cycles for reuse, and it still performed better, even when the voltage was cut off. These results indicated that there was a coupling effect between biodegradation and electrode reaction. The investigation of phenol hydroxylase activity and cells concentration confirmed that electrode reaction played an important role in this coupling effect.

Abstract
Magnetically immobilized cells of Comamonas sp. JB coupling with electrode reaction was developed to enhance the treatment efficiency of coking wastewater containing phenol, carbazole (CA), dibenzofuran (DBF), and dibenzothiophene (DBT). The pair of graphite plate-stainless iron mesh electrodes was chosen as the most suitable electrodes. Magnetically immobilized cells coupling with graphite plate-stainless iron mesh electrodes (coupling system) exhibited high degradation activity for all the compounds, which were significantly higher than the sum by single magnetically immobilized cells and electrode reaction at the optimal voltage. Recycling experiments demonstrated that the degradation activity of coupling system increased gradually during eight recycles, indicating that there was a coupling effect between the biodegradation and electrode reaction. Phenol hydroxylase and qPCR assays confirmed that appropriate electrical stimulation could improve phenol hydroxylase activity and promote cells growth. Toxicity assessment suggested the treatment of the coking wastewater by coupling system led to less toxicity than untreated wastewater.

Abstract
Escherichia coli cells expressing phenol hydroxylase (designated as PHIND) were used to biosynthesize 1,2-dihydroxydibenzofuran (1,2-dihydroxyDBF) from dibenzofuran (DBF). The pathway of DBF biotransformation by strain PHIND was proposed, in which DBF was initially monohydroxylated at C-1 and C-4 positions to produce 1- and 4-hydroxyDBF, then underwent successive hydroxylation to yield 1,2- and 3,4-dihydroxyDBF, of which 1,2-dihydroxyDBF was identified for the first time. Magnetically immobilized cells of strain PHIND in biphasic systems with dodecane as the solvent presented highest biosynthesis activity for 1,2-dihydroxyDBF, which was a 6.5-fold improvement compared to biosynthesis in aqueous system. The recycling experiments demonstrated that magnetically immobilized cells exhibited higher biosynthesis activity for 1,2-dihydroxyDBF than that by nonmagnetically immobilized cells during five cycles in biphasic systems. These works support the development of an efficient biosynthesis process using magnetically immobilized cells in biphasic systems and provide a promising technique for improving the productivity in 1,2-dihydroxyDBF biosynthesis.
