Abstract
Hydrocarbon constituents of petroleum are persistent, bioaccumulated, and bio-magnified in living tissues, transported to longer distances, and exert hazardous effects on human health and the ecosystem. Bioaugmentation with microorganisms like bacteria is an emerging approach that can mitigate the toxins from environmental sources. The present study was initiated to target the petroleum-contaminated soil of gasoline stations situated in Lahore. Petroleum degrading bacteria were isolated by serial dilution method followed by growth analysis, biochemical and molecular characterization, removal efficiency estimation, metabolites extraction, and GC-MS of the metabolites. Molecular analysis identified the bacterium as Bacillus cereus, which exhibited maximum growth at 72 hours and removed 75% petroleum. Biochemical characterization via the Remel RapID™ ONE panel system showed positive results for arginine dehydrolase (ADH), ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), lysine decarboxylase (LDC), o-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactosidase (ONPG), p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucosidase (βGLU), p-nitrophenyl-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), malonate (MAL), adonitol fermentation (ADON), and tryptophane utilization (IND). GC-MS-based metabolic profiling identified alcohols (methyl alcohol, o-, p- and m-cresols, catechol, and 3-methyl catechol), aldehydes (methanone, acetaldehyde, and m-tolualdehyde), carboxylic acid (methanoic acid, cis,cis-muconic acid, cyclohexane carboxylic acid and benzoic acid), conjugate bases of carboxylic acids (benzoate, cis,cis-muconate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, and pyruvate) and cycloalkane (cyclohexene). It suggested the presence of methane, methylcyclohexane, toluene, xylene, and benzene degradation pathways in B. cereus.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 463:132837. [PMID: 37890385 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
Despite the role of the vadose zone protecting groundwater from contamination, the non-stationarity in this zone makes it difficult to predict the behavior of petroleum hydrocarbons (PH) therein. In laboratory soil columns with sandy and sandy loam soils, we simulated a vadose zone subjected to repeated groundwater-level fluctuation (GLF) to evaluate the behavior of PH under hydrodynamic conditions. The GLF vertically redistributed the PH, the extent of which was pronounced in the sandy soil with a high initial concentration due to the enhanced transport of the immiscible PH through the larger pores. The frequency of GLF did not show a substantial effect on the extent of PH redistribution but largely affected their attenuation. The greater GLF hindered PH volatilization by maintaining a high degree of water saturation, while the subsequent development of a local anaerobic regime inhibited biodegradation, which was more apparent in the sandy loam. Finally, a specific potential risk index was introduced to quantitatively compare the potential risk of PH contamination in different vadose zones exposed to GLF. Overall, the sandy soil contaminated with the higher total PH (TPH) concentration showed markedly higher potential risk indices (i.e., 18.4-29.0%), while the ones comprised of the sandy loam showed 0.6-4.9%, which increased under the greater number of GLF cycles.

Abstract
Frequent marine oil spills have led to increasingly serious oil pollution along shorelines. Microbial remediation has become a research hotspot of intertidal oil pollution remediation because of its high efficiency, low cost, environmental friendliness, and simple operation. Many microorganisms are able to convert oil pollutants into non-toxic substances through their growth and metabolism. Microorganisms use enzymes' catalytic activities to degrade oil pollutants. However, microbial remediation efficiency is affected by the properties of the oil pollutants, microbial community, and environmental conditions. Feasible field microbial remediation technologies for oil spill pollution in the shorelines mainly include the addition of high-efficiency oil degrading bacteria (immobilized bacteria), nutrients, biosurfactants, and enzymes. Limitations to the field application of microbial remediation technology mainly include slow start-up, rapid failure, long remediation time, and uncontrolled environmental impact. Improving the environmental adaptability of microbial remediation technology and developing sustainable microbial remediation technology will be the focus of future research. The feasibility of microbial remediation techniques should also be evaluated comprehensively.

Abstract
Phyllosphere microorganisms are not only an important part of plants, but also an important part of microorganisms. In this review, the function of phyllosphere microorganisms, the assembly mechanism of phyllosphere microorganisms, the driving factors of phyllosphere microbial community structure, and the effects of climate warming on phyllosphere microbial community structure were reviewed. Generally, phyllosphere microorganisms have a variety of functions (e.g., fixing nitrogen, promoting plant growth). Although selection and dispersal processes together regulate the assembly of phyllospheric microbial communities, which one of the ecological processes is dominant and how external disturbances alter the relative contributions of each ecological process remains controversial. Abiotic factors (e.g., climatic conditions, geographical location and physical and chemical properties of soil) and biological factors (e.g., phyllosphere morphological structure, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and plant species and varieties) can affect phyllosphere microbial community structure. However, the predominant factors affecting phyllosphere microbial community structure are controversial. Moreover, how climate warming affects the phyllosphere microbial community structure and its driving mechanism have not been fully resolved, and further relevant studies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microbes constitute almost the entire biological community in subsurface groundwater and play an important role in ecological evolution and global biogeochemical cycles. Ecological baseline as a fundamental reference with less human interference has been investigated in surface ecosystems such as soils, rivers, and ocean, but the existence of groundwater microbial ecological baseline (GMEB) is still an open question so far. RESULTS Based on high-throughput sequencing information derived from national monitoring of 733 newly constructed wells, we find that bacterial communities in pristine groundwater exhibit a significant lateral diversity gradient and gradually approach the topsoil microbial latitudinal diversity gradient with decreasing burial depth of phreatic water. Among 74 phyla dominated by Proteobacteria in groundwater, Patescibacteria act as keystone taxa that harmonize microbes in shallower aquifers and accelerate decline in bacterial diversity with increasing well-depth. Decreasing habitat niche breadth with increasing well-depth suggests a general change in the relationship among key microbes from closer cooperation in shallow to stronger competition in deep groundwater. Unlike surface-water microbes, microbial communities in pristine groundwater are predominantly shaped by deterministic processes, potentially associated with nutrient sequestration under dark and anoxic environments in aquifers. CONCLUSIONS By unveiling the biogeographic patterns and mechanisms controlling the community assembly of microbes in pristine groundwater throughout China, we firstly confirm the existence of GMEB in shallower aquifers and propose Groundwater Microbial Community Index (GMCI) to evaluate anthropogenic impact, which highlights the importance of GMEB in groundwater water security and health diagnosis.

Abstract
Understanding soil bacterial diversity under nitrogen reduction is necessary for the crucial role in soil nitrogen cycling. However, the effects of combined fertilization on soil chemical properties, microbial community structure, and yield are unknown. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer reduction with bio-organic fertilizer on soil bacterial community diversity of red raspberry orchard. Six treatments were set in this study: NF-100%, NF-75%, NF-50%, NF-25% and CF, no nitrogen fertilizer and bio-organic fertilizer for CK. The bacterial community structures of soil were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene amplification high-throughput sequencing technology. Nitrogen fertilizer reduction with bio-organic fertilizer increased soil organic matter (SOM), total nitrogen (TN), alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen (AN), available phosphorus (AP), available potassium (AK), and reduced soil pH. NF-50% and NF-25% treatments increased the yield of red raspberry. Nitrogen reduction combined with bio-organic fertilizer increased the relative abundance of copiotrophic bacteria and decreased the relative abundance of oligotrophic bacteria. The increase in copiotrophic bacteria in the soil of red raspberry orchard could indicate an increase in soil nutrient availability, which have positive implications for soil fertility and production. However, nitrogen fertilizer reduction with bio-organic fertilizer altered the abundance and diversity of soil bacteria, which was reduced compared to CF treatments. The PCoA analysis of the soil bacterial community showed that the community structure of NF-25% treatment was more different from other treatments, indicating that the fertilization method changed the community structure of soil bacteria. The results of a redundancy analysis showed that SOM, pH, AN, TN, and AP were the main factors affecting the microbial community structure. Overall, the reduction of nitrogen fertilizer with bio-organic fertilizer significantly increased the soil nutrient content, reduced the relative abundance and diversity of soil bacteria, increased the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria in the soil, changed the bacterial community structure of soil, increased production and created suitable soil conditions for the red raspberry growth.

Abstract
Bacterial communities play an important role in maintaining the normal functioning of ecosystems; therefore, it is important to understand the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the bacterial community. In addition, understanding the metabolic potential of bacterial communities for PAHs is important for the remediation of PAH-contaminated soils. However, the deep relationship between PAHs and bacterial community in coking plants is not clear. In this study, we determined the bacterial community and the concentration of PAHs in three soil profiles contaminated by coke plants in Xiaoyi Coking Park, Shanxi, China, using 16S rRNA and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, respectively. The results show that 2 ~ 3 rings PAHs are the main PAHs and Acidobacteria (23.76%) was the dominant bacterial community in three soil profiles. Statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences in the composition of bacterial communities at different depths and different sites. Redundancy analysis (RDA) and variance partitioning analysis (VPA) illustrate the influence of environmental factors (including PAHs, soil organic matter (SOM), and pH) on the vertical distribution of soil bacterial community, and PAHs were the main factors affecting the bacterial community in this study. The co-occurrence networks further indicated correlations between bacterial community and PAHs and found that Nap has the greatest effect on bacterial community compared with other PAHs. In addition, some operational taxonomic units (OTUs, OTU2, and OTU37) have the potential to degrade PAHs. PICRUSt2 (Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States) was used for further study on the potential of microbial PAHs degradation from a genetic perspective, which showed that different PAH metabolism genes were present in the genomes of bacterial communities in the three soil profiles, and a total of 12 PAH degradation-related genes were isolated, mainly dioxygenase and dehydrogenase genes.

Abstract
Different types of carbon substrates were widely used in soil remediation. However, differences of their impacts and related mechanisms on degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and microbial community structures in contaminated soil still remain unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of corn straw (S), glucose (G), straw combined with glucose (SG), and sodium azide (N, as an abiotic control) on PAHs fractions and bacterial communities in soil. After 70 days' microcosm experiments, total PAHs concentrations were significantly reduced by 30.9%, 19.5% and 44.6% under S, G and SG treatments. Water soluble, acid soluble and residual PAHs under all treatments were significantly decreased after 70 days of incubation, while organically bound PAHs were increased by 11.4%, 22.7% and 36.1% under G, S and SG treatments. Additionally, straw and glucose application increased relative abundance related PAHs-degrading bacteria and the copy numbers of gram-negative (PAHs-RHDα GN) and gram-positive genes (PAHs-RHDα GP) in the contaminated soil. Redundancy analysis (RDA) and Random Forest (RF) indicated that PAHs fractions are crucial factors for biodegradation of PAHs in PAHs-contaminated soils amended with carbon substrates. These suggested that carbon substrates contributed to PAHs conversion from residual PAHs (nonlabile fractions) to organically bound PAHs and thus increased the potential for PAHs conversion to water-soluble and organic acid-soluble PAHs, which were more easy to be utilized by soil microorganisms. This study revealed the new insights of different carbon substrates on degradation and dynamic changes of PAHs fractions and the better potential of combined application of straw and glucose in enhancing degradation of PAHs in PAHs-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities and industrial effluents are the major sources of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in different environments. Microbe-based remediation techniques are known to be effective, inexpensive, and environmentally safe. In this review, the metabolic-target-specific pathway engineering processes used for improving the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated environments have been described. The microbiomes are characterised using environmental genomics approaches that can provide a means to determine the unique structural, functional, and metabolic pathways used by the microbial community for the degradation of contaminants. The bacterial metabolism of aromatic hydrocarbons has been explained via peripheral pathways by the catabolic actions of enzymes, such as dehydrogenases, hydrolases, oxygenases, and isomerases. We proposed that by using microbiome engineering techniques, specific pathways in an environment can be detected and manipulated as targets. Using the combination of metabolic engineering with synthetic biology, systemic biology, and evolutionary engineering approaches, highly efficient microbial strains may be utilised to facilitate the target-dependent bioprocessing and degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. Moreover, the use of CRISPR-cas and genetic engineering methods for editing metabolic genes and modifying degradation pathways leads to the selection of recombinants that have improved degradation abilities. The idea of growing metabolically engineered microbial communities, which play a crucial role in breaking down a range of pollutants, has also been explained. However, the limitations of the in-situ implementation of genetically modified organisms pose a challenge that needs to be addressed in future research.

Abstract
Hyperosmotic stress is one of the most ubiquitous stress factors in microbial habitats and impairs the efficiency of bacteria performing vital biochemical tasks. Sphingomonas serves as a 'superstar' of plant defense and pollutant degradation, and is widely existed in the environment. However, it is still unclear that how Sphingomonas sp. survives under hyperosmotic stress conditions. In this study, multiomics profiling analysis was conducted with S. melonis TY under hyperosmotic conditions to investigate the intracellular hyperosmotic responses. The transcriptome and proteome revealed that sensing systems, including most membrane protein coding genes were upregulated, genes related to two-component systems were tiered adjusted to reset the whole system, other stress response regulators such as sigma-70 were also significantly tiered upregulated. In addition, transport systems together with compatible solute biosynthesis related genes were significantly upregulated to accumulate intracellular nutrients and compatible solutes. When treated with hyperosmotic stress, redox-stress response systems were triggered and mechanosensitive channels together with ion transporters were induced to maintain cellular ion homeostasis. In addition, cellular concentration of c-di-guanosine monophosphate synthetase (c-di-GMP) was reduced, followed by negative influences on genes involved in flagellar assembly and chemotaxis pathways, leading to severe damage to the athletic ability of S. melonis TY, and causing detachments of biofilms. Briefly, this research revealed a comprehensive response mechanism of S. melonis TY exposure to hyperosmotic stress, and emphasized that flagellar assembly and biofilm formation were vulnerable to hyperosmotic conditions. Importance. Sphingomonas, a genus with versatile functions survives extensively, lauded for its prominent role in plant protection and environmental remediation. Current evidence shows that hyperosmotic stress as a ubiquitous environmental factor, usually threatens the survival of microbes and thus impairs the efficiency of their environmental functions. Thus, it is essential to explore the cellular responses to hyperosmotic stress. Hence, this research will greatly enhance our understanding of the global transcriptional and translational regulation of S. melonis TY in response to hyperosmotic stress, leading to broader perspectives on the impacts of stressful environments.

Abstract
The effect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) on the phytoremediation efficiency of ryegrass on soil contaminated with nonylphenol (NP) and cadmium (Cd) was investigated by pot experiments. Pseudomonas aeruginosa application stimulated the adsorption of Cd by ryegrass and facilitated the biodegradation of NP in the soil. Exogenous P. aeruginosa inoculation increased the activities of urease, dehydrogenase, and polyphenol oxidase in the soil of the T4 treatment by 38.5%, 50.0%, and 56.5% compared to that of the T2 treatment, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between the activities of dehydrogenase and polyphenol oxidase and the NP removal rate (P < 0.001). The relative abundances of beneficial microorganisms (such as Sphingomonas, Lysobacter, Streptomyces, Chloroflexia, Deltaproteobacteria, and Alphaproteobacteria) were increased as a result of P. aeruginosa inoculation. These microorganisms play important roles in nutrient cycling, Cd adsorption, and NP degradation. Additionally, P. aeruginosa was not the dominate bacterial species at the end of the experiment. According to this study, P. aeruginosa application improved the phytoremediation efficiency of ryegrass on soil contaminated with NP and Cd, with a minimal risk of alien microbial invasion.

INTERNATIONAL MICROBIOLOGY : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE SPANISH SOCIETY FOR MICROBIOLOGY 2023:10.1007/s10123-022-00318-w. [PMID: 36680696 DOI: 10.1007/s10123-022-00318-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Biosurfactants are amphiphilic compounds with extensive applications in oily contaminated environments to remove hydrocarbons. Moreover, enzymes such as laccase and manganese peroxidase are responsible for the oxidation of a variety of phenolic compounds and aromatic amines. Therefore, in the present study, bacteria with the potential to produce biosurfactants and enzymes (namely, laccase, manganese peroxidase, and endoglucanase carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCase)) were isolated from petroleum oil-contaminated soil. From 15 isolated bacteria, three isolates were selected as the best producers of biosurfactants according to the related tests, such as tests for surface tension reduction. These three bacteria indicated tolerance to a salinity test and were classified as resistant and very resistant. The isolates 3, 12, 13, and 14 showed positive results for the degradation of guaiacol, phenol red, and carboxymethylcellulose, as well as the decoloration of methylene blue by the creation of a clear halo around the bacterial colony. Upon the quantitation of the laccase and manganese peroxidase activities, 22.58 U/L and 21.81 U/L, respectively, were measured by isolate 13. Furthermore, CMCase activity was recorded with 0.057436 U/ml belonging to isolate 14. Bacterial strains with appreciable laccase, peroxidase, CMCase activity, and biosurfactant production potentials were identified through 16S rDNA sequence analysis as Bacillus sp. (isolate 3), Bacillus toyonensis (isolate 12), Bacillus cereus (isolate 13), and Bacillus tropicus (isolate 14), and their nucleotide sequences were deposited in the GenBank. The potentials for the industrial applicability of the biosurfactants and enzymes abound, and production needs to be optimized by the selected bacterial strains.

Abstract
The effect of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) on structure and function of rhizosphere soil bacterial communities in constructed wetlands has been largely underinvestigated. In this study, we compare the effect of 250, 500, and 1000 mg/L of HPAM on bacterial community composition of Phragmites australis associated rhizosphere soils in an experimental wetland using MiSeq amplicon sequencing. Rhizosphere soils from the HPAM-free and the 500-mg/L-exposed treatments were used for laboratory experiments to further investigate the effect of HPAM on the soil's degradation and respiration activities. Soils treated with HPAM showed differences in bacterial communities with the dominance of Proteobacteria and the enrichment of potential hydrocarbon and HPAM-degrading bacteria. CO2 generation was higher in the HPAM-free soils than in the HPAM pre-exposed soil, with a noticeable increase in both soils when oil was added. The addition of HPAM at different concentrations had a more pronounced effect on CO2 evolution in the HPAM-pre-exposed soil. Soils were able to degrade between 37 ± 18.0 and 66 ± 6.7% of C10 to C30 alkanes after 28 days, except in the case of HPAM-pre-exposed soil treated with 500 mg/L where degradation reached 92 ± 4.3%. Both soils reduced HPAM concentration by 60 ± 15% of the initial amount in the 500 mg/L treatment, but by only ≤ 21 ± 7% in the 250-mg/L and 1000-mg/L treatments. In conclusion, the rhizosphere soils demonstrated the ability to adapt and retain their ability to degrade hydrocarbon in the presence of HPAM.

Abstract
The microbial remediation technology had great potential and attracted attention to total petroleum hydrocarbon pollution (TPH) remediation, but its efficiency is limited by its application in the field. In this study, a new TPH-degrading strain, TDYN1, was isolated from contaminated oil soil in Dagang Oilfield in Tianjin, China, and identified as Falsochrobactrum sp. by 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The physiological characterization of the isolate was observed. The orthogonal experiment was carried out for the optimum degradation conditions to improve its biodegradation efficiency. The strain was the gram-stain-negative, short rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, designated Falsochrobactrum tianjinense sp. nov (strain TDYN1); it had 3.51 Mb, and the DNA G + C content of the strain was 56.0%. The degradation rate of TDYN1 was 69.95% after 7 days of culture in optimal degradation conditions (temperature = 30 °C, pH = 8, salinity = 10 g L-1, petroleum concentration = 1 g L-1, and the inoculation dose of strain TDYN1 = 6%) and also reached more than 30% under other relatively extreme conditions. It suggested that the TDYN1 has great potential for TPH remediation in the soils of North China.

Abstract
Root-associated microbial layers provide unique niches that drive specific microbe assemblies. While the rhizosphere microbiome has long received much attention, endophytic microbes remain largely elusive. Characterizing metal-tolerant plants' strategies for assembling different root-associated microbial layers is important for optimizing phytoremediation. Here, a pre-stratified rhizo-box assay was conducted with Trifolium repens L. under greenhouse conditions with artificial Pb-contaminated soil. Cultivation compensated for the pollution-driven loss of soil microbial biomass carbon, enzyme activities and abundance. The acid-soluble Pb proportion increased in the rhizosphere (from 6.5-13.7% to 7.1-18.0%) compared with bulk soil. Under stress, root-layer variants were a considerable source of variation in the microbiome, with the endosphere representing a unique and independent niche. A core set of root microbes were selected by T. repens, with Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria composed of diverse plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPBs) and metal-tolerant members. Cluster analysis revealed endosphere-enriched genera, with Rhizobium, Nocardioides, Novosphingobium, Phyllobacterium, and Sphingomonas being the most dominant. Finally, inferred microbial metabolic pathways suggested that these potential metal-tolerant PGPB species provide critical services to hosts, enabling them to tolerate and even flourish in contaminated soil. Our results provide novel insights for understanding how root-associated microbes help metal-tolerant plants cope with abiotic stress.

New insight into the mechanism underlying the effect of biochar on phenanthrene degradation in contaminated soil revealed through DNA-SIP. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 438:129466.

Abstract
Biochar has been widely used for the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soil, but its mechanism of influencing PAH biodegradation remains unclear. Here, DNA-stable isotope probing coupled with high-throughput sequencing was employed to assess its influence on phenanthrene (PHE) degradation, the active PHE-degrading microbial community and PAH-degradation genes (PAH-RHDα). Our results show that both Low-BC and High-BC (soils amended with 1 % and 4 % w/w biochar, respectively) treatments significantly decreased PHE biodegradation and bioavailable concentrations with a dose-dependent effect compared to Non-BC treatment (soils without biochar). This result could be attributed to the immobilisation of PHE and alteration of the composition and abundance of the PHE-degrading microbial consortium by biochar. Active PHE degraders were identified, and those in the Non-BC, Low-BC and High-BC microcosms differed taxonomically. Sphaerobacter, unclassified Diplorickettsiaceae, Pseudonocardia, and Planctomyces were firstly linked with PHE biodegradation. Most importantly, the abundances of PHE degraders and PAH-RHDα genes in the 13C-enriched DNA fractions of biochar-amended soils were greatly attenuated, and were significantly positively correlated with PHE biodegradation. Our findings provide a novel perspective on PAH biodegradation mechanisms in biochar-treated soils, and expand the understanding of the biodiversity of microbes involved in PAH biodegradation in the natural environment.

Abstract
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is grown worldwide as an important, natural sweetener resource plant. The yield of steviol glycosides (SVglys) is greatly influenced by continuous cropping. In this study, we collected the roots, rhizosphere soils, and bulk soils from 2 years of continuous cropping (Y2) and 8 years of continuous cropping (Y8). A high-throughput sequencing technology based on Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform was used to study the structure and diversity of bacterial communities in the roots and soils of stevia with different years of continuous cropping. The results demonstrated that although the content of a group of SVglys was significantly increased in stevia of long-term continuous cropping, it inhibited the growth of plants and lowered the leaf dry weight; as a result, the total amount of SVglys was significantly decreased. Meanwhile, continuous cropping changed the physicochemical properties and the bacterial composition communities of soil. The different sampling sources of the root, rhizosphere soil, and bulk soil had no impact on the richness of bacterial communities, while it exhibited obvious effects on the diversity of bacterial communities. Continuous cropping had a stronger effect on the bacterial community composition in rhizosphere soil than in root and bulk soil. Based on linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe), in the rhizosphere soil of Y8, the relative abundance of some beneficial bacterial genera of Sphingomonas, Devosia, Streptomyces, and Flavobacterium decreased significantly, while the relative abundance of Polycyclovorans, Haliangium, and Nitrospira greatly increased. Moreover, the soil pH and nutrient content, especially the soil organic matter, were correlated with the relative abundance of predominant bacteria at the genus level. This study provides a theoretical basis for uncovering the mechanism of obstacles in continuous stevia cropping and provides guidance for the sustainable development of stevia.

Abstract
Background Inherited susceptibility and environmental carcinogens are crucial players in lung cancer etiology. The lung microbiome is getting rising attention in carcinogenesis. The present work sought to investigate the microbiome in lung cancer patients affected by familial lung cancer (FLC) and indoor air pollution (IAP); and further, to compare host gene expression patterns with their microbiome for potential links. Methods Tissue sample pairs (cancer and adjacent nonmalignant tissue) were used for 16S rRNA (microbiome) and RNA-seq (host gene expression). Subgroup microbiome diversities and their matched gene expression patterns were analyzed. Significantly enriched taxa were screened out, based on different clinicopathologic characteristics. Results Our FLC microbiome seemed to be smaller, low-diversity, and inactive to change; we noted microbiome differences in gender, age, blood type, anatomy site, histology type, TNM stage as well as IAP and smoking conditions. We also found smoking and IAP dramatically decreased specific-OTU biodiversity, especially in normal lung tissue. Intriguingly, enriched microbes were in three categories: opportunistic pathogens, probiotics, and pollutant-detoxication microbes; this third category involved Sphingomonas, Sphingopyxis, etc. which help degrade pollutants, but may also cause epithelial damage and chronic inflammation. RNA-seq highlighted IL17, Ras, MAPK, and Notch pathways, which are associated with carcinogenesis and compromised immune system. Conclusions The lung microbiome can play vital roles in carcinogenesis. FLC and IAP subjects were affected by fragile lung epithelium, vulnerable host-microbes equilibrium, and dysregulated immune surveillance and response. Our findings provided useful information to study the triple interplay among environmental carcinogens, population genetic background, and diversified lung microbiome.

Abstract
Bioprospecting of microorganisms suitable for bioremediation of fuel or oil spills is often carried out in contaminated environments such as gas stations or polluted coastal areas. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) we analyzed the microbiota thriving below the lids of the fuel deposits of diesel and gasoline cars. The microbiome colonizing the tank lids differed from the diversity found in other hydrocarbon-polluted environments, with Proteobacteria being the dominant phylum and without clear differences between gasoline or diesel-fueled vehicles. We observed differential growth when samples were inoculated in cultures with gasoline or diesel as the main carbon source, as well as an increase in the relative abundance of the genus Pseudomonas in diesel. A collection of culturable strains was established, mostly Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Staphylococcus, and Bacillus genera. Strains belonging to Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Achromobacter, and Isoptericola genera showed a clear diesel degradation pattern when analyzed by GC-MS, suggesting their potential use for bioremediation and a possible new species of Isoptericola was further characterized as hydrocarbon degrader.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the seasonal characteristics of rhizoremediation and the bacterial community structure over the course of a year in soil contaminated with diesel oil. The soil was contaminated with diesel oil at a total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration of 30,000 mg-TPH·kg-soil−1. Tall fescue seedlings were planted in the contaminated soil and rhizoremediation performance was monitored for 317 days. The TPH concentration gradually declined, reaching 75.6% after day 61. However, the TPH removability decreased by up to 30% after re-contamination in the fall and winter. The bacterial community structure exhibited distinct seasonal dynamics. Genus Pseudomonas significantly increased up to 55.7% in the winter, while the genera Immundisolibacter and Lysobacter, well-known petroleum hydrocarbon (PH)-degrading bacteria, were found to be positively linked to the TPH removal rate. Consequently, knowledge of this seasonal variation in rhizoremediation performance and the bacterial community structure is useful for the improvement of rhizoremediation in PH-contaminated environments.

Abstract
The main aim of this study was to determine the fate, bio-metabolism and environmental risk of low-ring and high-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a water-soil-ryegrass multi-media system, under long-term irrigation condition with micro-polluted treated wastewater. Field experiments were carried out to simulate garden irrigation using treated wastewater containing typical representative low-ring naphthalene (Nap) and high-ring benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). The results showed that BaP's vertical attenuation rate and adsorption accumulation rate were 1.7 and 1.2 times higher than Nap's, respectively. The adsorption, biodegradation, and the rhizosphere effect were responsible for 40.7%, 28.4%, 21.6%, and 30.5%, 36.6%, 17.7%, respectively, of the attenuation of BaP and Nap. The major metabolic pathways of Nap and BaP are hydroxylation, ring opening cleavage, and decarboxylation, with the metabolic chain of BaP being longer than that of Nap due to more ring cleaving reactions. Pseudomonas, Mycobacterium, and Sphingomonas were the functional microorganisms with PAHs degradation capacity that were positively correlated with PAHs degradation, particularly in the rhizosphere. After ten years of irrigation with treated wastewater, the prediction of environmental risk revealed that there were few potential risks. Thus, the results of this feasibility study demonstrated that using treated wastewater for garden irrigation was a relatively safe and effective strategy.

Abstract
The land-based oil extraction activity has led to serious pollution of the soil. While microbes may play an important role in the remediation of contaminated soils, ecological effects of oil pollution on soil microbial relationships remain poorly understood. Here, typical contaminated soils and undisturbed soils from seven oilfields of China were investigated in terms of their physicochemical characteristics, indigenous microbial assemblages, bacterial co-occurrence patterns, and metabolic enzymes. Network visualization based on k-core decomposition illustrated that oil pollution reduced correlations between co-existing bacteria. The core genera were altered to those related with oil metabolism (Pseudarthrobacter, Alcanivorax, Sphingomonas, Chromohalobacter and Nocardioides). Under oil pollution pressure, the indigenous bacteria Gammaproteobacteria was domesticated as biomarker and the enzyme expression associated with the metabolism of toxic benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was enhanced. Functional pathways of xenobiotics biodegradation were also stimulated under oil contamination. Finally, twelve culturable hydrocarbon-degrading microbes were isolated from these polluted soils and classified into Stenotrophomonas, Delftia, Pseudomonas and Bacillus. These results show that the soil microbial communities are transformed under oil pollution stress, and also provide useful information for future bioremediation processes.

Abstract
Soil contamination by hydrocarbons due to oil spills has become a global concern and it has more implications in oil producing regions. Biostimulation is considered as one of the promising remediation techniques that can be adopted to enhance the rate of degradation of crude oil. The soil microbial consortia play a critical role in governing the biodegradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs), in particular polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In this study, the degradation pattern of TPHs and PAHs of Kuwait soil biopiles was measured at three-month intervals. Then, the microbial consortium associated with oil degradation at each interval was revealed through 16S rRNA based next generation sequencing. Rapid degradation of TPHs and most of the PAHs was noticed at the first 3 months of biostimulation with a degradation rate of pyrene significantly higher compared to other PAHs counterparts. The taxonomic profiling of individual stages of remediation revealed that, biostimulation of the investigated soil favored the growth of Proteobacteria, Alphaprotobacteria, Chloroflexi, Chlorobi, and Acidobacteria groups. These findings provide a key step towards the restoration of oil-contaminated lands in the arid environment.

Abstract
It is importance to understand the correlation between the physicochemical properties of different surrounding rock soil and microbial communities in Fushun western opencast mining for the ecological restoration of land after mine closure. In this study, two layers of soil samples were collected from four different areas in Fushun western opencast mining: coal gangue area (CGA), green mudstone area (GMA), oil shale area (OSA) and mixed area (MA). Then, the effects of different surrounding rock soil physicochemical properties on the microbial communities were explored using the High-throughput sequencing technique. A wide diversity of taxonomical groups were present in four soil cores, and many were correlated with soil physicochemical properties. The obvious differences in microbial communities between different areas showed the influence of different surrounding rock soil on the microbial communities were significant. Redundancy analysis and the network diagram confirmed that soil physicochemical properties pH (Pondus Hydrogenii)-AN (Available Nitrogen)-EC (Electronic Conductivity)-WC (Water Content)-TK (Total Nitrogen), Cd (Cadmium)-Ni (Nickel) had great influence on the microbial communities. Therefore, this study can provide scientific judgments for the different surrounding rock soil physicochemical properties in coal mining, microbial-mediated rock mineralization and biogeochemical cycles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-risk human papilloma virus (hrHPV) is the main causal factor of cervical precancer and cancer when persistent infection is left untreated. Previous studies have confirmed the vaginal microbiota is associated with HPV infection and the development of cervical lesions. The microbiota at different parts of the female genital tract is closely related but different from each other. To analyze the distinction between the vaginal and cervical microbiota of hrHPV(+) women in China, one hundred subjects were recruited, including 10 patients with HPV16/18(+) and cervical carcinoma, 38 patients with HPV16/18(+) but no cervical carcinoma, 32 patients with other hrHPV(+) and 20 healthy controls with HPV(-). Vaginal and cervical microbiota were separately tested through next-generation sequencing (NGS) targeting the variable region (V3-V4) of the bacterial ribosome 16S rRNA gene. RESULTS HrHPV(+) subjects had higher percentages of vaginal douching history (P = 0.001), showed more frequent usage of sanitary pads (P = 0.007), had more sex partners (P = 0.047), were more sexually active (P = 0.025) and more diversed in ways of contraception (P = 0.001). The alpha diversity of the cervical microbiota was higher than that of the vagina. The cervical microbiota consisted of a lower percentage of Firmicutes and a higher percentage of Proteobacteria than the vagina at the phylum level. Sphingomonas, belonging to α-Proteobacteria, was almost below the detection limit in the vagina but accounted for five to 10 % of the bacteria in the hrHPV(-) cervix (P<0.001) and was inversely associated with hrHPV infection (P<0.05). Pseudomonas, belonging to γ-Proteobacteria, could hardly be seen in the normal vagina and shared a small percentage in the normal cervix but was significantly higher in the HPV16/18(+) (P<0.001) and cancerous cervix (P<0.05). No significant difference was shown in the percentage of BV associated anaerobes, like Gardnerella, Prevotella, Atopobium and Sneathia, between the cevix and vigina. CONCLUSIONS The proportion of Proteobacteria was significantly higher in the cervical microbiota than that of vagina. The hrHPV infection and cervical cancer was positively associated with Pseudomonas and negatively associated with Sphingomonas. It is of great improtance to deeply explore the cervical microbiota and its function in cervical cacinogenesis.

Abstract
Diesel oil is the main source of energy used in Antarctica. Since diesel is composed of toxic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals, it represents a constant threat to the organisms inhabiting this continent. In the present study, we characterized the chemical and biological parameters of diesel-exposed soils obtained from King George Island in Antarctica. Contaminated soils present PAH concentrations 1000 times higher than non-exposed soils. Some contaminated soil samples also exhibited high concentrations of cadmium and lead. A 16S metagenome analysis revealed the effect of co-contamination on bacterial communities. An increase in the relative abundance of bacteria known as PAH degraders or metal resistant was determined in co-contaminated soils. Accordingly, the soil containing higher amounts of PAHs exhibited increased dehydrogenase activity than control soils, suggesting that the microorganisms present can metabolize diesel. The inhibitory effect on soil metabolism produced by cadmium was lower in diesel-contaminated soils. Moreover, diesel-contaminated soils contain higher amounts of cultivable heterotrophic, cadmium-tolerant, and PAH-degrading bacteria than control soils. Obtained results indicate that diesel contamination at King George island has affected microbial communities, favoring the presence of microorganisms capable of utilizing PAHs as a carbon source, even in the presence of heavy metals.

Abstract
Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is an agricultural waste with a high potential for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) removal in aged contaminated soils. In this study, fresh and air-dried Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, and Auricularia auricular SMSs were used to remove PAHs in agricultural soil under 60-day incubation. The potential of SMS in PAH dissipation was studied by detecting the dissipation rate and the soil physicochemical index, enzyme activity, PAH-degradation bacterial biomass, and microbial diversity. Results showed that SMS significantly enhanced the dissipation of PAHs and fresh SMS had a better effect than air-dried SMS. The highest dissipation rate of 16 PAHs was 34.5%, which was observed in soil amended with fresh P. eryngii SMS, and the PAH dissipation rates with low and high molecular weights were 41.3% and 19.4%, respectively. By comparison, fresh P. eryngii SMS presented high nutrient contents, which promoted the development of PAH-degrading bacteria and changed the soil bacterial community involved in degradation, thereby promoting the PAH dissipation. The lignin-degrading enzymes in fresh SMS were abundant, and the laccase and manganese peroxidase activities in the treatment of fresh P. eryngii SMS was higher than those in other treatments. Fresh P. eryngii SMS improved the relative abundance of Microbacterium, Rhizobium, and Pseudomonas in soil, which were all related to PAH degradation. Consequently, adding fresh P. eryngii SMS was an effective method for remediating aged PAH-contaminated agricultural soils.

Alterations in the Gut Microbiota of Zebrafish ( Danio rerio) in Response to Water-Soluble Crude Oil Components and Its Mixture With a Chemical Dispersant. Front Public Health 2020; 8:584953. [PMID: 33194990 PMCID: PMC7649143 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2020.584953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Crude oil spills have caused substantial impacts to aquatic ecosystems. Chemical dispersants are used to palliate the impact of oil spillages, but their use is polemic due to their additional potential toxic effect when mixed with oil-derived components. In this work, we used a 16S-based metagenomic approach to analyze the changes of the gut microbiota of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) exposed to the water accommodated fraction (WAF) of a light crude oil (35° API gravity), and the chemically enhanced WAF (CEWAF), prepared with Nokomis 3-F4® dispersant. After 96 h of exposure, WAF induced an increase in the alpha and beta diversity, altering the relative abundance of Vibrio, Flavobacterium, and Novosphingobium. In contrast, CEWAF only caused an increase in the beta diversity, and an enrichment of the genus Pseudomona. Both treatments diminished the abundances of Aeromonas, Cetobacterium, Coxiella, Dinghuibacter, and Paucibacter. Moreover, the co-occurrence network among genera was more complex in WAF than in CEWAF, indicating a greater bacterial interaction in response to WAF. Our results indicate that short-term exposure to WAF and CEWAF can induce a dysbiosis in the gut microbiota of D. rerio, but these changes are specific in each treatment.

Abstract
The Loa River is the only perennial artery that crosses the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It plays an important role in the ecological and economic development of the most water-stressed region, revealing the impact of the mining industry, which exacerbate regional water shortages for many organisms and ecological processes. Despite this, the river system has remained understudied. To our knowledge, this study provides the first effort to attempt to compare the microbial communities at spatial scale along the Loa River, as well as investigate the physicochemical factors that could modulate this important biological component that still remains largely unexplored. The analysis of the spatial bacterial distribution and their interconnections in the water column and sediment samples from eight sites located in three sections along the river catchment (upper, middle and lower) was conducted using 16S rRNA gene-based Illumina MiSeq sequencing. Among a total of 543 ASVs identified at the family level, over 40.5% were cosmopolitan in the river and distributed within a preference pattern by the sediment substrate with 162 unique ASVs, while only 87 were specific to the column water. Bacterial diversity gradually decreased from the headwaters, where the upper section had the largest number of unique families. Distinct groupings of bacterial communities often associated with anthropogenic disturbance, including Burkholderiaceae and Flavobacteriaceae families were predominant in the less-impacted upstream section. Members of the Arcobacteraceae and Marinomonadaceae were prominent in the agriculturally and mining-impacted middle sector while Rhodobacteraceae and Coxiellaceae were most abundant families in downstream sites. Such shifts in the community structure were also related to the influence of salinity, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen and redox potential. Network analyses corroborated the strong connectivity and modular structure of bacterial communities across this desert river, shedding light on taxonomic relatedness of co-occurring species and highlighting the need for planning the integral conservation of this basin.

Abstract
The main aim of this study was to investigate and characterize the bacterial strain that has the potential to degrade allethrin. The isolated strain, Sphingomonas trueperi CW3, degraded allethrin (50 mg L-1) in batch experiments within seven days. The Box-Behnken design optimized allethrin degradation and had a confirmation of 93% degradation at pH 7.0, at a temperature of 30 °C and an inocula concentration of 100 mg L-1. The results from gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis confirmed the existence of nine metabolites from the degradation of allethrin with strain CW3. The cleavage of the ester bond, followed by the degradation of the five-carbon rings, was allethrin's primary degradation pathway. The strain CW3 also degraded other widely applied synthetic pyrethroids such as cyphenothrin, bifenthrin, permethrin, tetramethrin, β-cypermethrin and chlorempenthrin. Furthermore, in experiments performed with sterilized soil, strain CW3 based bioaugmentation effectively removed allethrin at a significantly reduced half-life.

Abstract
A incubation experiment was conducted to investigate whether combined amendment of biochar (B) and compost (CP), mushroom residue (M) and corn straw (Y) could enhance biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated soils. After 77 days of incubation, both B + M and B + Y significantly (p < 0.01) increased removal rate of PAHs compared with amendment of biochar alone. However, B+CP resulted in a significant (p < 0.01) decreasing of PAHs removal. Compared with no biochar and no organic substrates addition (CK) and B, both B+M and B+Y significantly (p < 0.01) enhanced concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and were favorable for the microbial growth reflected by microbial biomass carbons (MBC) and emission of carbon dioxide. Redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that B + CP, B + M and B + Y separated the bacterial community compared with CK and B. However, the community composition structure in B + CP was different from that of B + M and B + Y. Moreover, the abundance of some PAHs degraders and PAH degradation genes predicted by PICRUSt software was promoted by B + M or B + Y, whereas that was inhibited under B + CP. The present study suggested that both B + M and B + Y could accelerate biodegradation of PAHs mainly through increasing the concentration of DOC and the abundances of microbial PAH degraders in soils.

Abstract
The main aim of this research was to study the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the influence of environmental factors during composting in order to realize the utilization of PAHs contaminated sewage sludge. A production scale compost experiment was conducted with three mixtures of sewage sludge (SS): green forest waste (GFW) at quality ratios of 3:1 (T1), 3:2 (T2) and 3:3 (T3). The residual concentration of PAHs in the three treatments met the permissible limit prescribed by the Agricultural Sludge Pollutant Control Standard (GB 4284-2018). The biodegradation rates of PAHs were 0.0280, 0.0281 and 0.0218 mg/d, and removal efficiencies were 70.7%, 75.2% and 62.4% in T1, T2, T3, respectively, which followed the first-order rate kinetics. The residual concentration of PAHs in T2 was the lowest (1.81 mg/kg), while the germination index (GI) of Tall Fescues (~0.9) was the highest during 50 days of co-composting. The bacterial diversity negatively correlated with the residual PAHs content. The main genus, Bacillus, Pseudomonas and Methylotenera, with cellulose-degrading and PAHs co-metabolizing functions contributed significantly to sludge maturation and PAHs degradation. The dominant microorganisms, Pseudomonas, Sphingobacterium and Chitinophagaceae_uncultured, could support the high removal rate of PAHs in T2. Temperature, pH, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) and carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio had significant positive effect on the compost maturity and quality, and these parameters correlated with the PAHs biodegradation efficiency during composting, especially in T2.

Abstract
The species belonging to the Sphingomonas genus possess multifaceted functions ranging from remediation of environmental contaminations to producing highly beneficial phytohormones, such as sphingan and gellan gum. Recent studies have shown an intriguing role of Sphingomonas species in the degradation of organometallic compounds. However, the actual biotechnological potential of this genus requires further assessment. Some of the species from the genus have also been noted to improve plant-growth during stress conditions such as drought, salinity, and heavy metals in agricultural soil. This role has been attributed to their potential to produce plant growth hormones e.g. gibberellins and indole acetic acid. However, the current literature is scattered, and some of the important areas, such as taxonomy, phylogenetics, genome mapping, and cellular transport systems, are still being overlooked in terms of elucidation of the mechanisms behind stress-tolerance and bioremediation. In this review, we elucidated the prospective role and function of this genus for improved utilization during environmental biotechnology.

Abstract
We have assessed the diversity of bacteria near oil-methane (area I) and methane (area II) seeps in the pelagic zone of Lake Baikal using massive parallel sequencing of 16S rRNA, pmoA, and mxaF gene fragments amplified from total DNA. At depths from the surface to 100 m, sequences belonging to Cyanobacteria dominated. In the communities to a depth of 200 m of the studied areas, Proteobacteria dominated the deeper layers of the water column. Alphaproteobacteria sequences were predominant in the community near the oil-methane seep, while the community near the methane seep was characterized by the prevalence of Alpha- and Gammaproteobacteria. Among representatives of these classes, type I methanotrophs prevailed in the 16S rRNA gene libraries from the near-bottom area, and type II methanotrophs were detected in minor quantities at different depths. In the analysis of the libraries of the pmoA and mxaF functional genes, we observed the different taxonomic composition of methanotrophic bacteria in the surface and deep layers of the water column. All pmoA sequences from area I were type II methanotrophs and were detected at a depth of 300 m, while sequences of type I methanotrophs were the most abundant in deep layers of the water column of area II. All mxaF gene sequences belonged to Methylobacterium representatives. Based on comparative analyses of 16S rRNA, pmoA, and mxaF gene fragment libraries, we suggest that there must be a wider spectrum of functional genes facilitating methane oxidation that were not detected with the primers used.

Abstract
In cold areas, nitrogen removal performance of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) declines greatly in winter. This paper systematically describes the enhancement effect of a periodic reverse electrocoagulation technology on biological nitrogen removal at low temperatures. The study showed that in the lab-scale systems, the electrocoagulation technology improved the biomass amount, enzyme activity and the amount of nitrogen removal bacteria (Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter, Paracoccus, Thauera and Enterobacter). This enhanced nitrification and denitrification of activated sludge at low temperatures. In the pilot-scale systems, the electrocoagulation technology increased the relative abundance of cold-adapted microorganisms (Luteimonas and Trueperaceae) at low temperatures. In a full-scale industrial WWTP, comparison of data from winter 2015 and winter 2016 showed that effluent chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH4+-N, and NO3--N reduced by 10.37, 3.84, and 136.43 t, respectively, throughout the winter, after installation of electrocoagulation devices. These results suggest that the electrocoagulation technology is able to improve the performance of activated sludge under low-temperature conditions. This technology provides a new way for upgrading of the performance of WWTPs in cold areas.

Abstract
In order to assess the effect of mixed pollutants, the influence of different concentration levels of a mixture of metals (Cr, Co, Pb, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn) on the biodegradation of some PAHs (phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene) in soil samples was evaluated. To do so, groups of microcosms of a natural soil from the region of Sabadell (Barcelona, Spain) were prepared as a reproduction of the native environment at laboratory scale, under controlled conditions. Mixtures of PAHs and metals were carefully selected, according to soil characterization and microbiological growth preliminary assays, and were added to microcosms. These microcosms were analyzed at various times, along two months, to obtain PAHs dissipation time-courses. A first-order kinetic modelling allowed obtaining different rate constants and DT50 values as a function of the metal levels introduced in microcosms. As a general observation, the higher the concentration of metals, the lower the biodegradation of PAHs of 3-4 rings (phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene). On the other hand, no important effect on the biodegradation of higher molecular weight PAHs (benzo[b]fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene) was observed at the different concentration levels of metals tested.

Abstract
The degradation of chlorpyrifos (CP) by an endophytic bacterial strain (HJY) isolated from Chinese chives (Allium tuberosum Rottl. ex Spreng) was investigated. Strain HJY was identified as Sphingomonas sp. based on morphological, physiological, and biochemical tests and a 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Approximately 96% of 20 mg L-1 CP was degraded by strain HJY over 15 days in liquid minimal salts medium (MSM). The CP degradation rate could also be increased by glucose supplementation. The optimal conditions for the removal of 20 mg L-1 CP by strain HJY in MSM were 2% inoculum density, pH 6.0, and 30-35°C. The CP degradation rate constant and half-life were 0.2136 ± 0.0063 d-1 and 3.2451 ± 0.0975 d, respectively, under these conditions, but were raised to 0.7961 ± 0.1925 d-1 and 0.8707 ± 0.3079 d with 1% glucose supplementation. The detection of metabolic products and screening for degrading genes indicated that O,O-diethyl O-3,5,6-trichloropyridinol was the major degradation product from CP, while it was likely that some functional genes were undetected and the mechanism responsible for CP degradation by strain HJY remained unknown. Strain HJY is potentially useful for the reduction of CP residues in Chinese chives and may be used for the in situ phytoremediation of CP.

Abstract
Bioremediation uses soil microorganisms to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into less toxic compounds and can be performed in situ, without the need for expensive infrastructure or amendments. This review provides insights into the cancer risks associated with PAH-contaminated soils and places bioremediation outcomes in a context relevant to human health. We evaluated which bioremediation strategies were most effective for degrading PAHs and estimated the cancer risks associated with PAH-contaminated soils. Cancer risk was statistically reduced in 89% of treated soils following bioremediation, with a mean degradation of 44% across the B2 group PAHs. However, all 180 treated soils had postbioremediation cancer risk values that exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) health-based acceptable risk level (by at least a factor of 2), with 32% of treated soils exceeding recommended levels by greater than 2 orders of magnitude. Composting treatments were most effective at biodegrading PAHs in soils (70% average reduction compared with 28-53% for the other treatment types), which was likely due to the combined influence of the rich source of nutrients and microflora introduced with organic compost amendments. Ultimately, bioremediation strategies, in the studies reviewed, were unable to successfully remove carcinogenic PAHs from contaminated soils to concentrations below the target cancer risk levels recommended by the USEPA.
