Mahajan R, Sharma G, Chadha P, Saini HS. Evaluating efficacy of Pseudomonas sp. EN-4 to lower the toxic potential of 4-bromophenol and assessing its competency in simulated microcosm. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 349:123990. [PMID: 38631447 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
An indigenous bacterium Pseudomonas sp. EN-4 had been reported earlier for its ability to co-metabolise 4-bromophenol (4-BP), in presence of phenol (100 mg/L) as co-substrate. The present study was undertaken to validate the efficacy of biotransformation by comparing the toxicity profiles of untreated and EN-4 transformed samples of 4-BP, using both plant and animal model. The toxicity studies in Allium cepa (A. cepa) indicated to lowering of mitotic index (MI) from 12.77% (water) to 3.33% in A. cepa bulbs exposed to 4-BP + phenol, which reflects the cytotoxic nature of these compounds. However, the MI value significantly improves to 11.36% in its biologically treated counterpart, indicating normal cell growth. This was further supported by significant reduction in chromosomal aberrations in A. cepa root cells exposed to biologically treated samples of 4-BP as compared to untreated controls. The oxidative stress assessed by comparing the activity profiles of different marker enzymes showed that the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) were reduced by 56%, 72%, and 37% respectively, in EN-4 transformed samples of 4-BP + phenol compared to its untreated counterpart. Similar trends were evident in the comet assay of fish (Channa punctatus) blood cells exposed to untreated and biologically treated samples of 4-BP. The comparative studies showed significant reduction in tail length (72.70%) and % tail intensity (56.15%) in fish blood cells exposed to EN-4 treated 4-BP + phenol, compared to its untreated counterpart. The soil microcosm studies validated the competency of the EN-4 cells to establish and transform 4-BP in soil polluted with 4-BP (20 mg/kg) and 4-BP + phenol (20 + 100 mg/kg). The isolate EN-4 achieved 98.08% transformation of 4-BP in non-sterile microcosm supplemented with phenol, indicating to potential of EN-4 cells to establish along with indigenous microflora.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 240:120132. [PMID: 37257294 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
Figuring out the comprehensive metabolic mechanism of sulfonamide antibiotics (SA) is critical to improve and optimize SA removal in the bioremediation process, but relevant studies are still lacking. Here, an approach integrating metagenomic analysis, degraders' isolation, reverse transcriptional quantification and targeted metabolite determination was used to decipher microbial interactions and functional genes' characteristics in SA-degrading microbial consortia enriched from wetland sediments. The SA-degrading consortia could rapidly catalyze ipso-hydroxylation and subsequent reactions of SA to achieve the complete mineralization of sulfadiazine and partial mineralization of the other two typical SA (sulfamethoxazole and sulfamethazine). Paenarthrobacter, Achromobacter, Pseudomonas and Methylobacterium were identified as the primary participants for the initial transformation of SA. Among them, Methylobacterium could metabolize the heterocyclic intermediate of sulfadiazine (2-aminopyrimidine), and the owning of sadABC genes (SA degradation genes) made Paenarthrobacter have relatively higher SA-degrading activity. Besides, the coexistence of sadABC genes and sul1 gene (SA resistance gene) gave Paenarthrobacter a dual resistance mechanism to SA. The results of reverse transcription quantification further demonstrated that the activity of sadA gene was related to the biodegradation of SA. Additionally, sadABC genes were relatively conserved in a few Microbacteriaceae and Micrococcaceae SA-degraders, but the multiple recombination events caused by densely nested transposase encoding genes resulted in the differential sequence of sadAB genes in Paenarthrobacter genome. These new findings provide valuable information for the selection and construction of engineered microbiomes.

Great Abilities of Shinella zoogloeoides Strain from a Landfarming Soil for Crude Oil Degradation and a Synergy Model for Alginate-Bead-Entrapped Consortium Efficiency. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10071361. [PMID: 35889080 PMCID: PMC9323222 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10071361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Oil contamination is of great concern worldwide and needs to be properly addressed. The present work aimed to contribute to the development of bacterial consortia for oil recovery. We investigated the community structure of a landfarming-treated soil (LF2) by metagenomics to unravel the presence of hydrocarbon degraders. Moreover, we isolated Shinella zoogloeoides LFG9 and Bacillus swezeyi LFS15 from LF2 and combined them with Pseudomonas guguanensis SGPP2 isolated from an auto mechanic workshop soil to form the mixed consortium COG1. Bacterial isolates were tested for biosurfactant production. Additionally, the bioremediation potential of COG1 was studied as free and entrapped consortia by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, in comparison to the single strains. Results revealed the presence of Actinobacteria (66.11%), Proteobacteria (32.21%), Gammaproteobacteria (5.39%), Actinomycetales (65.15%), Burkholderiales (13.92%), and Mycobacterium (32.22%) taxa, indicating the presence of hydrocarbon degraders in soil LF2. All three isolated strains were biosurfactant producers capable of degrading crude oil components within 14 days. However, Shinella zoogloeoides LFG9 performed best and was retained as candidate for further bioremediation investigation. In addition, COG1 performed better when immobilized, with entrapment effectiveness manifested by increased fatty acids and aromatic compound degradation. Attempt to improve crude oil biodegradation by adding surfactants failed as sodium dodecyl sulfate restrained the immobilized consortium performance.

Abstract
Increasing heavy metal pollution in water continues to endanger human health. The genus Shinella has potential for heavy metal bioremediation but has rarely been studied. In this study, we report that Shinella zoogloeoides PQ7 turns black in the presence of lead ions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that PbS nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by PQ7. Moreover, PQ7 was used as a biosorbent to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. Biosorption performance was evaluated in terms of contact time, pH, biomass dosage and initial Pb(II) concentration. The equilibrium and kinetic data were consistent with the Freundlich isotherm model (R2 = 0.986) and pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.977), respectively. The maximum (qmax) Pb(II) adsorption reached 222.22 mg/g, which was higher than that of other bacteria reported in previous literature. SEM–EDS, XRD and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses also confirmed the adsorption of Pb(II) by the PQ7 cells. In conclusion, PQ7 is a promising strain in removing and recovering Pb(II) from wastewater.

Enhanced performance and microbial community analysis of bioelectrochemical system integrated with bio-contact oxidation reactor for treatment of wastewater containing azo dye. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2018; 634:616-627.

Abstract
Feasibility and superiority of the bioelectrochemical system integrated with biocontact oxidation (BES-BCO) for degradation and/or mineralization of azo dyes have been confirmed. In this study, the effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT), applied voltage, and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration at the bioanode on the performance of BES-BCO and traditional BES were investigated. Using the response surface methodology, the optimum values of HRT, applied voltage, and DO concentration at the bioanode of BES-BCO were investigated to obtain the maximum decolouration and COD removal efficiency and minimum specific energy consumption (SEC). The microbial community structure in BES-BCO was studied for analyzing the change following the introduction of oxygen. The optimised solution was an applied voltage of 0.59V, HRT of 12h, and DO concentration of 0.96mg/L at the bioanode. Under such conditions, the DE, COD removal efficiency, and SEC values were 94.62±0.63%, 89.12±0. 32%, and 687.57±3.86J/g, respectively. In addition, after changing from BES to BES-BCO, the bacterial community structure of the bioanode underwent significant changes. Several aerobic aniline-degrading bacteria and anode-respiration bacteria (ARB) were found to dominate the community of the anode biofilm. The results showed that the removal of azo dye degradation by-products was closely correlated with the o-bioanode and the BCO bacterial community structure.

Biodegradation mechanism of 1H-1,2,4-triazole by a newly isolated strain Shinella sp. NJUST26. Sci Rep 2016; 6:29675. [PMID: 27436634 PMCID: PMC4951651 DOI: 10.1038/srep29675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2016] [Accepted: 06/21/2016] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The highly recalcitrant 1H-1,2,4-triazole (TZ) is widely used in the synthesis of agricultural pesticide and considered to be an environmental pollutant. In this study, a novel strain NJUST26 capable of utilizing TZ as the sole carbon and nitrogen source, was isolated from TZ-contaminated soil, and identified as Shinella sp. The biodegradation assays suggested that optimal temperature and pH for TZ degradation by NJUST26 were 30 °C and 6–7, respectively. With the increase of initial TZ concentration from 100 to 320 mg L−1, the maximum volumetric degradation rate increased from 29.06 to 82.96 mg L−1 d−1, indicating high tolerance of NJUST26 towards TZ. TZ biodegradation could be accelerated through the addition of glucose, sucrose and yeast extract at relatively low dosage. The main metabolites, including 1,2-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (DHTO), semicarbazide and urea were identified. Based on these results, biodegradation pathway of TZ by NJUST26 was proposed, i.e., TZ was firstly oxidized to DHTO, and then the cleavage of DHTO ring occurred to generate N-hydrazonomethyl-formamide, which could be further degraded to biodegradable semicarbazide and urea.
