Abstract
The remediation of emerging contaminants presents a pressing environmental challenge, necessitating innovative approaches for effective mitigation. This review article delves into the untapped potential of soil microbial communities in the bioremediation of emerging contaminants. Bioremediation, while a promising method, often proves time-consuming and requires a deep comprehension of microbial intricacies for enhancement. Given the challenges presented by the inability to culture many of these microorganisms, conventional methods are inadequate for achieving this goal. While omics-based methods provide an innovative approach to understanding the fundamental aspects, processes, and connections among microorganisms that are essential for improving bioremediation strategies. By exploring the latest advancements in omics technologies, this review aims to shed light on how these approaches can unlock the hidden capabilities of soil microbial communities, paving the way for more efficient and sustainable remediation solutions.

Metabolic Profiling and Comparative Proteomic Insight in Respect of Amidases during Iprodione Biodegradation. Microorganisms 2023; 11:2367.

Abstract
The fungicide iprodione (IPR) (3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl) N-isopropyl-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-1-carboxamide) is a highly toxic compound. Although IPR has been restricted, it is still being applied in many places around the world, constituting an environmental risk. The biodegradation of IPR is an attractive option for reducing its residues. In this study, we isolated thirteen IPR-tolerant bacteria from a biopurification system designed to treat pesticides. A study of biodegradation using different strains was comparatively evaluated, and the best degradation rate of IPR was presented by Achromobacter sp. C1 with a half-life (T1/2) of 9 days. Based on a nano-LC-MS/MS analysis for the strains, proteins solely expressed in the IPR treatment were identified by highlighting the strain Achromobacter sp. C1, with 445 proteins primarily involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and microbial metabolism in diverse environments. Differentially expressed protein amidases were involved in six metabolic pathways. Interestingly, formamidase was inhibited while other cyclases, i.e., amidase and mandelamide hydrolase, were overexpressed, thereby minimizing the effect of IPR on the metabolism of strain C1. The dynamic changes in the protein profiles of bacteria that degrade IPR have been poorly studied; therefore, our results offer new insight into the metabolism of IPR-degrading microorganisms, with special attention paid to amidases.

Abstract
Pesticide pollution in recent times has emerged as a grave environmental problem contaminating both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems owing to their widespread use. Bioremediation using gene editing and system biology could be developed as an eco-friendly and proficient tool to remediate pesticide-contaminated sites due to its advantages and greater public acceptance over the physical and chemical methods. However, it is indispensable to understand the different aspects associated with microbial metabolism and their physiology for efficient pesticide remediation. Therefore, this review paper analyses the different gene editing tools and multi-omics methods in microbes to produce relevant evidence regarding genes, proteins and metabolites associated with pesticide remediation and the approaches to contend against pesticide-induced stress. We systematically discussed and analyzed the recent reports (2015-2022) on multi-omics methods for pesticide degradation to elucidate the mechanisms and the recent advances associated with the behaviour of microbes under diverse environmental conditions. This study envisages that CRISPR-Cas, ZFN and TALEN as gene editing tools utilizing Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli and Achromobacter sp. can be employed for remediation of chlorpyrifos, parathion-methyl, carbaryl, triphenyltin and triazophos by creating gRNA for expressing specific genes for the bioremediation. Similarly, systems biology accompanying multi-omics tactics revealed that microbial strains from Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas putida, Burkholderia cenocepacia, Rhodococcus sp. and Pencillium oxalicum are capable of degrading deltamethrin, p-nitrophenol, chlorimuron-ethyl and nicosulfuron. This review lends notable insights into the research gaps and provides potential solutions for pesticide remediation by using different microbe-assisted technologies. The inferences drawn from the current study will help researchers, ecologists, and decision-makers gain comprehensive knowledge of value and application of systems biology and gene editing in bioremediation assessments.

Impact of carbendazim on cellular growth, defence system and plant growth promoting traits of Priestia megaterium ANCB-12 isolated from sugarcane rhizosphere. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:1005942. [PMID: 36605502 PMCID: PMC9808048 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1005942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Agrochemicals are consistently used in agricultural practices to protect plants from pathogens and ensure high crop production. However, their overconsumption and irregular use cause adverse impacts on soil flora and non-target beneficial microorganisms, ultimately causing a hazard to the ecosystem. Taking this into account, the present study was conducted to determine the high dosage of fungicide (carbendazim: CBZM) effects on the rhizobacteria survival, plant growth promoting trait and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging antioxidant enzyme system. Thus, a multifarious plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) isolate, ANCB-12, was obtained from the sugarcane rhizosphere through an enrichment technique. The taxonomic position of the isolated rhizobacteria was confirmed through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis as Priestia megaterium ANCB-12 (accession no. ON878101). Results showed that increasing concentrations of fungicide showed adverse effects on rhizobacterial cell growth and survival. In addition, cell visualization under a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) revealed more oxidative stress damage in the form of ROS generation and cell membrane permeability. Furthermore, the increasing dose of CBZM gradually decreased the plant growth promoting activities of the rhizobacteria ANCB-12. For example, CBZM at a maximum 3,000 μg/ml concentration decreases the indole acetic acid (IAA) production by 91.6%, ACC deaminase by 92.3%, and siderophore production by 94.1%, respectively. Similarly, higher dose of fungicide enhanced the ROS toxicity by significantly (p < 0.05) modulating the stress-related antioxidant enzymatic biomarkers in P. megaterium ANCB-12. At a maximum 3,000 μg/ml CBZM concentration, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) declined by 82.3%, catalase (CAT) by 61.4%, glutathione peroxidase (GPX) by 76.1%, and glutathione reductase (GR) by 84.8%, respectively. The results of this study showed that higher doses of the fungicide carbendazim are toxic to the cells of plant-beneficial rhizobacteria. This suggests that a recommended dose of fungicide should be made to lessen its harmful effects.

Abstract
Synthetic pesticides are extensively and injudiciously applied to control agriculture and household pests worldwide. Due to their high use, their toxic residues have enormously increased in the agroecosystem in the past several years. They have caused many severe threats to non-target organisms, including humans. Therefore, the complete removal of toxic compounds is gaining wide attention to protect the ecosystem and the diversity of living organisms. Several methods, such as physical, chemical and biological, are applied to degrade compounds, but as compared to other methods, biological methods are considered more efficient, fast, eco-friendly and less expensive. In particular, employing microbial species and their purified enzymes makes the degradation of toxic pollutants more accessible and converts them into non-toxic products by several metabolic pathways. The digestive tract of insects is usually known as a superior organ that provides a nutrient-rich environment to hundreds of microbial species that perform a pivotal role in various physiological and ecological functions. There is a direct relationship between pesticides and insect pests: pesticides reduce the growth of insect species and alter the phyla located in the gut microbiome. In comparison, the insect gut microbiota tries to degrade toxic compounds by changing their toxicity, increasing the production and regulation of a diverse range of enzymes. These enzymes breakdown into their derivatives, and microbial species utilize them as a sole source of carbon, sulfur and energy. The resistance of pesticides (carbamates, pyrethroids, organophosphates, organochlorines, and neonicotinoids) in insect species is developed by metabolic mechanisms, regulation of enzymes and the expression of various microbial detoxifying genes in insect guts. This review summarizes the toxic effects of agrochemicals on humans, animals, birds and beneficial arthropods. It explores the preferential role of insect gut microbial species in the degradation process and the resistance mechanism of several pesticides in insect species. Additionally, various metabolic pathways have been systematically discussed to better understand the degradation of xenobiotics by insect gut microbial species.

Abstract
Herein, bacterial isolate HIS7 was obtained from contaminated soil and exhibited high efficacy to degrade pyrethroid insecticide cypermethrin. The HIS7 isolate was identified as Lysinibacillus cresolivuorans based on its morphology and physiology characteristics as well as sequencing of 16S rRNA. The biodegradation percentages of 2500 ppm cypermethrin increased from 57.7% to 86.9% after optimizing the environmental factors at incubation condition (static), incubation period (8-days), temperature (35 °C), pH (7), inoculum volume (3%), and the addition of extra-carbon (glucose) and nitrogen source (NH4Cl2). In soil, L. cresolivuorans HIS7 exhibited a high potential to degrade cypermethrin, where the degradation percentage increased from 54.7 to 93.1% after 7 to 42 days, respectively. The qualitative analysis showed that the bacterial degradation of cypermethrin in the soil was time-dependent. The High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis of the soil extract showed one peak for control at retention time (R.T.) of 3.460 min and appeared three peaks after bacterial degradation at retention time (R.T.) of 2.510, 2.878, and 3.230 min. The Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis confirmed the successful degradation of cypermethrin by L. cresolivuorans in the soil. The toxicity of biodegraded products was assessed on the growth performance of Zea mays using seed germination and greenhouse experiment and in vitro cytotoxic effect against normal Vero cells. Data showed the toxicity of biodegraded products was noticeably decreased as compared with that of cypermethrin before degradation.

Abstract
A potential pesticide degrading bacterial isolate (2D), showing maximum tolerance (450 mg∙L-1) for cypermethrin, fipronil, imidacloprid and sulfosulfuron was recovered from a pesticide contaminated agricultural field. The isolate degraded cypermethrin, imidacloprid, fipronil and sulfosulfuron in minimal salt medium with 94, 91, 89 and 86% respectively as revealed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) analysis after 15 days of incubation. Presence of cyclobutane, pyrrolidine, chloroacetic acid, formic acid and decyl ester as major intermediate metabolites of cypermethrin biodegradation was observed in gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Results based on 16S rDNA sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis showed maximum similarity of 2D with Bacillus cereus (Accession ID: MH341691). Stress responsive and catabolic/pesticide degrading proteins were over expressed in the presence of cypermethrin in bacteria. Enzymatic kinetics of laccase was deduced in the test isolate under normal and pesticide stress conditions which suggested that the production of enzyme was induced significantly in pesticide stress (163 μg.μL-1) as compare to normal conditions(29 μg.μL-1) while the Km value was decreased in pesticides stress condition (Km = 10.57 mM) and increases in normal condition (Km = 14.33 mM).Amplification of laccase gene showed a major band of 1200bp. The present study highlights on the potential of 2D bacterial strain i.e., high tolerance level of pesticide, effective biodegradation rate, and presence of laccase gene in bacterial strain 2D, could become a potential biological agent for large-scale treatment of mixture of pesticide (cypermethrin, fipronil, imidacloprid and sulfosulfuron) in natural environment (soil and water).

Abstract
Ester-containing organophosphate, carbamate, and pyrethroid (OCP) pesticides are used worldwide to minimize the impact of pests and increase agricultural production. The toxicity of these chemicals to humans and other organisms has been widely reported. Chemically, these pesticides share an ester bond in their parent structures. A particular group of hydrolases, known as esterases, can catalyze the first step in ester-bond hydrolysis, and this initial regulatory metabolic reaction accelerates the degradation of OCP pesticides. Esterases can be naturally found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Previous research on the esterase enzyme mechanisms revealed that the active sites of esterases contain serine residues that catalyze reactions via a nucleophilic attack on the substrates. In this review, we have compiled the previous research on esterases from different sources to determine and summarize the current knowledge of their properties, classifications, structures, mechanisms, and their applications in the removal of pesticides from the environment. This review will enhance the understanding of the scientific community when studying esterases and their applications for the degradation of broad-spectrum ester-containing pesticides.

Abstract
The application of microbial strains as axenic cultures has frequently been employed in a diverse range of sectors. In the natural environment, microbes exist as multispecies and perform better than monocultures. Cell signaling and communication pathways play a key role in engineering microbial consortia, because in a consortium, the microorganisms communicate via diffusible signal molecules. Mixed microbial cultures have gained little attention due to the lack of proper knowledge about their interactions with each other. Some ideas have been proposed to deal with and study various microbes when they live together as a community, for biotechnological application purposes. In natural environments, microbes can possess unique metabolic features. Therefore, microbial consortia divide the metabolic burden among strains in the group and robustly perform pesticide degradation. Synthetic microbial consortia can perform the desired functions at naturally contaminated sites. Therefore, in this article, special attention is paid to the microbial consortia and their function in the natural environment. This review comprehensively discusses the recent applications of microbial consortia in pesticide degradation and environmental bioremediation. Moreover, the future directions of synthetic consortia have been explored. The review also explores the future perspectives and new platforms for these approaches, besides highlighting the practical understanding of the scientific information behind consortia.

Mishra S, Lin Z, Pang S, Zhang W, Bhatt P, Chen S. Recent Advanced Technologies for the Characterization of Xenobiotic-Degrading Microorganisms and Microbial Communities. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2021; 9:632059. [PMID: 33644024 PMCID: PMC7902726 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.632059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 91] [Impact Index Per Article: 30.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Global environmental contamination with a complex mixture of xenobiotics has become a major environmental issue worldwide. Many xenobiotic compounds severely impact the environment due to their high toxicity, prolonged persistence, and limited biodegradability. Microbial-assisted degradation of xenobiotic compounds is considered to be the most effective and beneficial approach. Microorganisms have remarkable catabolic potential, with genes, enzymes, and degradation pathways implicated in the process of biodegradation. A number of microbes, including Alcaligenes, Cellulosimicrobium, Microbacterium, Micrococcus, Methanospirillum, Aeromonas, Sphingobium, Flavobacterium, Rhodococcus, Aspergillus, Penecillium, Trichoderma, Streptomyces, Rhodotorula, Candida, and Aureobasidium, have been isolated and characterized, and have shown exceptional biodegradation potential for a variety of xenobiotic contaminants from soil/water environments. Microorganisms potentially utilize xenobiotic contaminants as carbon or nitrogen sources to sustain their growth and metabolic activities. Diverse microbial populations survive in harsh contaminated environments, exhibiting a significant biodegradation potential to degrade and transform pollutants. However, the study of such microbial populations requires a more advanced and multifaceted approach. Currently, multiple advanced approaches, including metagenomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, are successfully employed for the characterization of pollutant-degrading microorganisms, their metabolic machinery, novel proteins, and catabolic genes involved in the degradation process. These technologies are highly sophisticated, and efficient for obtaining information about the genetic diversity and community structures of microorganisms. Advanced molecular technologies used for the characterization of complex microbial communities give an in-depth understanding of their structural and functional aspects, and help to resolve issues related to the biodegradation potential of microorganisms. This review article discusses the biodegradation potential of microorganisms and provides insights into recent advances and omics approaches employed for the specific characterization of xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms from contaminated environments.

Mechanism and application of Sesbania root-nodulating bacteria: an alternative for chemical fertilizers and sustainable development. Arch Microbiol 2021; 203:1259-1270. [PMID: 33388789 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-020-02137-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 11/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Chemical fertilizers are used in large-scale throughout the globe to satisfy the food and feed requirement of the world. Demanding cropping with the enhanced application of chemical fertilizers, linked with a decline in the recycling of natural or other waste materials, has led to a decrease in the organic carbon levels in soils, impaired soil physical properties and shrinking soil microbial biodiversity. Sustenance and improvement of soil fertility are fundamental for comprehensive food security and ecological sustainability. To feed the large-scale growing population, the role of biofertilizers and their study tends to be an essential aspect globally. In this review, we have emphasized the nitrogen-fixing plants of Sesbania species. It is a plant that is able to accumulate nitrogen-rich biomass and used as a green manure, which help in soil amelioration. Problems of soil infertility due to salinity, alkalinity and waterlogging could be alleviated through the use of biologically fixed nitrogen by Sesbania plants leading to the conversion of futile land into a fertile one. A group of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria termed as "rhizobia" are able to nodulate a variety of legumes including Sesbania. The host-specific rhizobial strains can be used as potential alternative for nitrogenous fertilizers as they help the host plant in growth and development and enhance their endurance under stressed conditions. The review gives the depth understanding of how the agriculturally important microorganisms can be used for the reduction of broad-scale application of chemical fertilizers with special attention to Sesbania-nodulating rhizobia.

Abstract
Pesticide use is prevalent with applications from the backyard gardener to large-scale agriculture and combatting pests in homes and industrial settings. Alongside the need to control unwanted pests comes the selective pressure generated by sustained pesticide use has become a concern leading to environmental contamination, pest resistance, and, thus, reduced pesticide efficacy. Despite efforts to improve the environmental impact and reduce off-target effects, chemical pesticides are relied on and control failures are costly. Though pesticide resistance mechanisms vary, one pattern that has recently emerged is symbiont-mediated detoxification within insect pests. The localization within the insect host, the identity of the symbiotic partner, and the stability of the associations across different systems vary. The diversity of insects and ecological settings linked to this phenomenon are broad. In this mini-review, we summarize the recent trend of insecticide detoxification modulated by symbiotic associations between bacteria and insects, as well as highlight the implications for pesticide development, pest management strategies, and pesticide bioremediation.

Abstract
Cypermethrin is popularly used as an insecticide in households and agricultural fields, resulting in serious environmental contamination. Rapid and effective techniques that minimize or remove insecticidal residues from the environment are urgently required. However, the currently available cypermethrin-degrading bacterial strains are suboptimal. We aimed to characterize the kinetics and metabolic pathway of highly efficient cypermethrin-degrading Bacillus thuringiensis strain SG4. Strain SG4 effectively degraded cypermethrin under different conditions. The maximum degradation was observed at 32 °C, pH 7.0, and a shaking speed of 110 rpm, and about 80% of the initial dose of cypermethrin (50 mg·L-1) was degraded in minimal salt medium within 15 days. SG4 cells immobilized with sodium alginate provided a higher degradation rate (85.0%) and lower half-life (t1/2) of 5.3 days compared to the 52.9 days of the control. Bioaugmentation of cypermethrin-contaminated soil slurry with strain SG4 significantly enhanced its biodegradation (83.3%). Analysis of the degradation products led to identification of nine metabolites of cypermethrin, which revealed that cypermethrin could be degraded first by cleavage of its ester bond, followed by degradation of the benzene ring, and subsequent metabolism. A new degradation pathway for cypermethrin was proposed based on analysis of the metabolites. We investigated the active role of B. thuringiensis strain SG4 in cypermethrin degradation under various conditions that could be applied in large-scale pollutant treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studying expression of genes by direct sequencing and analysis of metatranscriptomes at a particular time and space can disclose structural and functional insights about microbial communities. The present study reports comparative analysis of metatranscriptome from two distinct soil ecosystems referred as M1 (agriculture soil) and O1 (organic soil). RESULTS Analysis of sequencing reads revealed Proteobacteria as major dominant phyla in both soil types. The order of the top 3 abundant phyla in M1 sample was Proteobacteria > Ascomycota > Firmicutes, whereas in sample O1, the order was Proteobacteria > Cyanobacteria > Actinobacteria. Analysis of differentially expressed genes demonstrated high expression of transcripts related to copper-binding proteins, proteins involved in electron carrier activity, DNA integration, endonuclease activity, MFS transportation, and other uncharacterized proteins in M1 compared to O1. Of the particular interests, several transcripts related to nitrification, ammonification, stress response, and alternate carbon fixation pathways were highly expressed in M1. In-depth analysis of the sequencing data revealed that transcripts of archaeal origin had high expression in M1 compared to O1 indicating the active role of Archaea in metal- and pesticide-contaminated environment. In addition, transcripts encoding 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, glyoxalase/bleomycin resistance protein/dioxygenase, metapyrocatechase, and ring hydroxylating dioxygenases of aromatic hydrocarbon degradation pathways had high expression in M1. Altogether, this study provided important insights about the transcripts and pathways upregulating in the presence of pesticides and herbicides. CONCLUSION Altogether, this study claims a high expression of microbial transcripts in two ecosystems with a wide range of functions. It further provided clue about several molecular markers which could be a strong indicator of metal and pesticide contamination in soils. Interestingly, our study revealed that Archaea are playing a significant role in nitrification process as compared to bacteria in metal- and pesticide-contaminated soil. In particular, high expression of transcripts related to aromatic hydrocarbon degradation in M1 soil indicates their important role in biodegradation of pollutants, and therefore, further investigation is needed.

Abstract
Pyrethroids are broad-spectrum insecticides and presence of chiral carbon differentiates among various forms of pyrethroids. Microbial approaches have emerged as a popular solution to counter pyrethroid toxicity to marine life and mammals. Bacterial and fungal strains can effectively degrade pyrethroids into non-toxic compounds. Different strains of bacteria and fungi such as Bacillus spp., Raoultella ornithinolytica, Psudomonas flourescens, Brevibacterium sp., Acinetobactor sp., Aspergillus sp., Candida sp., Trichoderma sp., and Candia spp., are used for the biodegradation of pyrethroids. Hydrolysis of ester bond by enzyme esterase/carboxyl esterase is the initial step in pyrethroid biodegradation. Esterase is found in bacteria, fungi, insect and mammalian liver microsome cells that indicates its hydrolysis ability in living cells. Biodegradation pattern and detected metabolites reveal microbial consumption of pyrethroids as carbon and nitrogen source. In this review, we aim to explore pyrethroid degrading strains, enzymes and metabolites produced by microbial strains. This review paper covers in-depth knowledge of pyrethroids and recommends possible solutions to minimize their environmental toxicity.
