Abstract
The escalation of heavy metal pollutants in soils and effluents, driven by industrialization and human activities, poses significant environmental and health risks. Conventional remediation methods are often costly and ineffective, prompting a shift towards sustainable alternatives such as biological treatments. Natural biosorbents, including microbial cells and their byproducts, have emerged as promising solutions. One such approach involves leveraging exopolysaccharides (EPS), complex high-molecular-weight biopolymers synthesized by microbes under environmental stress conditions. EPS are intricate organic macromolecules comprising proteins, polysaccharides, uronic acids, humic compounds, and lipids, either located within microbial cells or secreted into their surroundings. Their anionic functional groups enable efficient electrostatic binding of cationic heavy metals, making EPS effective biosorbents for soil remediation. This review thoroughly explores the pivotal role of bacterial EPS in the removal of heavy metals, focusing on EPS biosynthesis mechanisms, the dynamics of interaction with heavy metals, and case studies that illustrate their effectiveness in practical remediation strategies. By highlighting these aspects, the review underscores the innovation and practical implications of EPS-based bioremediation technologies, demonstrating their potential to address critical environmental challenges effectively while paving the way for sustainable environmental management practices. Key findings reveal that EPS exhibit robust metal-binding capacities, facilitated by their anionic functional groups, thereby offering a promising solution for mitigating metal pollution in diverse environmental matrices.

Reducing the accumulation of cadmium and phenanthrene in rice by optimizing planting spacing: Role of low-abundance but core rhizobacterial communities. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 926:171856. [PMID: 38522531 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Optimizing planting spacing is a common agricultural practice for enhancing rice growth. However, its effect on the accumulation of cadmium (Cd) and phenanthrene (Phen) in soil-rice systems and the response mechanisms of rhizobacteria to co-contaminants remain unclear. This study found that reducing rice planting spacing to 5 cm and 10 cm significantly decreased the bioavailability of Cd (by 7.9 %-29.5 %) and Phen (by 12.9 %-47.6 %) in the rhizosphere soil by converting them into insoluble forms. The increased accumulation of Cd and Phen in roots and iron plaques (IPs) ultimately led to decreased Cd (by 32.2 %-39.9 %) and Phen (by 4.2 %-17.3 %) levels in brown rice, and also significantly affected the composition of rhizobacteria. Specifically, reducing rice planting spacing increased the abundance of low-abundance but core rhizobacteria in the rhizosphere soil and IPs, including Bacillus, Clostridium, Sphingomonas, Paenibacillus, and Leifsonia. These low-abundance but core rhizobacteria exhibited enhanced metabolic capacities for Cd and Phen, accompanied by increased abundances of Cd-resistance genes (e.g., czcC and czcB) and Phen-degradation genes (e.g., pahE4 and pahE1) within the rhizosphere soil and IPs. Reduced planting spacing had no noticeable impact on rice biomass. These findings provide new insights into the role of low-abundance but core rhizobacterial communities in Cd and Phen uptake by rice, highlighting the potential of reduced planting spacing as an eco-friendly strategy for ensuring the safety of rice production on contaminated paddy soils.

Abstract
This research investigated the antioxidant responses of Pleurotus florida at different concentrations of gas oil [0% (control), 2.5%, 5%, and 10% (v:v)] for 30 days. The activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes decreased in responses to the gas oil presence by an average of 83% and 49%, respectively. In contrast, the activities of the ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase enzymes displayed an upward trend in the groups cultured in oil-contaminated media. The gas oil contaminant increased total phenol and flavonoid accumulation, reflecting the variation in secondary metabolism. According to the 1,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging, the 2.5% gas oil treatment resulted in the highest antioxidant activity (48 μg mL-1). The highest scavenging activity of nitric oxide radicals (IC50 = 272 μg mL-1) was observed in the treatment with the highest gas oil concentration (10%). Also, this treatment showed an excellent ability to chelate Fe+2 ions (IC50 = 205 μg mL-1). The IC50 values of methanolic extract for nitric oxide scavenging activity and metal chelating ability were significantly reduced by increasing gas oil concentration in the treatments. With increasing the gas oil concentration, malondialdehyde content as a criterion measure of lipid peroxidation level showed significant reduction. These results show that P. florida is resistant to and a compatible mushroom with oil pollutants. Also, the activity of glutathione peroxidase and the ascorbate-glutathione cycle detoxify nitric oxide radicals and products of reactive oxygen species-induced lipid peroxidation in the gas oil treatments.

Abstract
Malathion, an extensively used organophosphorus pesticide, poses a high potential risk of toxicity to humans and the environment. Shewanella (S.) oneidensis MR-1 has been proposed as a strain with excellent bioremediation capabilities, capable of efficiently removing a wide range of hard-to-degrade pollutants. However, the physiological and biochemical response of S. oneidensis MR-1 to malathion is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to examine how S. oneidensis MR-1 responds physiologically and biochemically to malathion while also investigating the biodegradation properties of the pesticide. The results showed that the 7-day degradation rates of S. oneidensis MR-1 were 84.1, 91.6, and 94.0% at malathion concentrations of 10, 20, and 30 mg/L, respectively. As the concentration of malathion increased, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were inhibited, leading to a significant rise in malondialdehyde content. This outcome can be attributed to the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggered by malathion stress. In addition, ROS production stimulates the secretion of soluble polysaccharides, which alleviates oxidative stress caused by malathion. Malathion-induced oxidative damage further exacerbated the changes in the cellular properties of S. oneidensis MR-1. During the initial stages of degradation, the cell density and total intracellular protein increased significantly with increasing malathion exposure. This can be attributed to the remarkable resistance of S. oneidensis MR-1 to malathion. Based on scanning electron microscopy observations, continuous exposure to contaminants led to a reduction in biomass and protein content, resulting in reduced cell activity and ultimately leading to cell rupture. In addition, this was accompanied by a decrease in Na+/K+- ATPase and Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase levels, suggesting that malathion-mediated oxidative stress interfered with energy metabolism in S. oneidensis MR-1. The findings of this study provide new insights into the environmental risks associated with organophosphorus pesticides, specifically malathion, and their potential for bioremediation.

Abstract
The combined pollution of acid rain and heavy metals in soil is a pressing environmental problem, especially in the regions with large-scale heavy industrial production activities. Low remediation efficiency and weak long-lasting stability are major challenges when disposing the heavy metals contaminated soil in acid rain polluted sites. Herein, a specific microbe, strain CT13 was isolated and domesticated to exhibit high tolerance to both acid rain and cadmium (Cd). Then, an in situ mycoremediation method by adopting a bioaugmentation technology of strain CT13 inoculation with Pleurotus ostreatus was developed. The remediation performance was investigated in acidic conditions with Cd concentrations in soil ranging from 0 to 15 mg/kg. While most of the bacteria strains (e.g. strain CT6/13) significantly improved the dry weight of mushroom and Cd accumulation in neutral environment, the performance of strain CT6 was remarkably deteriorated in acid rain environment. In contrast, strain CT13 maintained its behavior in acidic conditions, displaying ∼30 % and 150 % enhancements (vs the neutral environment) in the dry weight of mushroom and Cd accumulation, respectively. In addition, inoculation of strain CT13 led to significant reductions in the content of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and lipid peroxidation in the fruiting body of P. ostreatus, indicating an improvement in the mushroom's tolerance to both acid rain and heavy metals. The synergistic effect of strain CT13 and P. ostreatus realized the significant improvement in soil remediation efficiency and long-lasting stability in acidic conditions, providing valuable insights into the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil in the regions affected by acid rain.

Screening of cadmium-chromium-tolerant strains and synergistic remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil using king grass combined with highly efficient microbial strains.

Abstract
The present study involved the isolation of two cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr) resistant strains, identified as Staphylococcus cohnii L1-N1 and Bacillus cereus CKN12, from heavy metal contaminated soils. S. cohnii L1-N1 exhibited a reduction of 24.4 % in Cr6+ and an adsorption rate of 6.43 % for Cd over a period of 5 days. These results were achieved under optimal conditions of pH (7.0), temperature (35 °C), shaking speed (200 rpm), and inoculum volume (8 %). B. cereus strain CKN12 exhibited complete reduction of Cr6+ within a span of 48 h, while it demonstrated a 57.3 % adsorption capacity for Cd over a period of 120 h. These results were achieved under conditions of optimal pH (8.0), temperature (40 °C), shaking speed (150 rpm), and inoculum volume (2-3 %). Additionally, microcharacterization and ICP-MS analysis revealed that Cr and Cd were accumulated on the cell surface, whereas Cr6+ was mainly reduced extracellularly. Subsequently, a series of pot experiments were conducted to provide evidence that the inclusion of S. cohnii L1-N1 or B. cereus CKN12 into the system resulted in a notable enhancement in both the plant height and biomass of king grass. In particular, it was observed that the presence of S. cohnii L1-N1 or B. cereus CKN12 in king grass led to a significant reduction in the levels of Cd and Cr in the soils (36.0 % and 27.8 %, or 72.9 % and 47.4 %, respectively). Thus, the results of this study indicate that the combined use of two bacterial strains can effectively aid in the remediation of tropical soils contaminated with moderate to light levels of Cd and Cr.

Abstract
The combination of organic and heavy metal pollutants can be effectively and sustainably remediated using bioremediation, which is acknowledged as an environmentally friendly and economical approach. In this study, bacterial agent YH was used as the research object to explore its potential and mechanism for bioremediation of pyrene-heavy metal co-contaminated system. Under the optimal conditions (pH 7.0, temperature 35°C), it was observed that pyrene (PYR), Pb(II), and Cu(II) were effectively eliminated in liquid medium, with removal rates of 43.46%, 97.73% and 81.60%, respectively. The microscopic characterization (SEM/TEM-EDS, XPS, XRD and FTIR) results showed that Pb(II) and Cu(II) were eliminated by extracellular adsorption and intracellular accumulation of YH. Furthermore, the presence of resistance gene clusters (cop, pco, cus and pbr) plays an important role in the detoxification of Pb(II) and Cu(II) by strains YH. The degradation rate of PYR reached 72.51% in composite contaminated soil, which was 4.33 times that of the control group, suggesting that YH promoted the dissipation of pyrene. Simultaneously, the content of Cu, Pb and Cr in the form of F4 (residual state) increased by 25.17%, 6.34% and 36.88%, respectively, indicating a decrease in the bioavailability of heavy metals. Furthermore, YH reorganized the microbial community structure and enriched the abundance of hydrocarbon degradation pathways and enzyme-related functions. This study would provide an effective microbial agent and new insights for the remediation of soil and water contaminated with organic pollutants and heavy metals.

Abstract
By ecologically interacting with various biotic and abiotic agents acting in soil ecosystems, highly diverse soil microorganisms establish complex and stable assemblages and survive in a community context in natural settings. Besides facilitating soil microbiome to maintain great levels of population homeostasis, such microbial interactions drive soil microbes to function as the major engine of terrestrial biogeochemical cycling. It is verified that the regulative effect of microbe-microbe interplay plays an instrumental role in microbial-mediated promotion of soil health, including bioremediation of soil pollutants and biocontrol of soil-borne phytopathogens, which is considered an environmentally friendly strategy for ensuring the healthy condition of soils. Specifically, in microbial consortia, it has been proven that microorganism-microorganism interactions are involved in enhancing the soil health-promoting effectiveness (i.e., efficacies of pollution reduction and disease inhibition) of the beneficial microbes, here defined as soil health-promoting agents. These microbial interactions can positively regulate the soil health-enhancing effect by supporting those soil health-promoting agents utilized in combination, as multi-strain soil health-promoting agents, to overcome three main obstacles: inadequate soil colonization, insufficient soil contaminant eradication and inefficient soil-borne pathogen suppression, all of which can restrict their probiotic functionality. Yet the mechanisms underlying such beneficial interaction-related adjustments and how to efficiently assemble soil health-enhancing consortia with the guidance of microbe-microbe communications remain incompletely understood. In this review, we focus on bacterial and fungal soil health-promoting agents to summarize current research progress on the utilization of multi-strain soil health-promoting agents in the control of soil pollution and soil-borne plant diseases. We discuss potential microbial interaction-relevant mechanisms deployed by the probiotic microorganisms to upgrade their functions in managing soil health. We emphasize the interplay-related factors that should be taken into account when building soil health-promoting consortia, and propose a workflow for assembling them by employing a reductionist synthetic community approach.

Abstract
For a long time, the well-known Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been extensively studied and developed as a biological insecticide for Lepidoptera and Coleoptera pests due to its ability to secrete a large number of specific insecticidal proteins. In recent years, studies have found that Bt strains can also potentially biodegrade residual pollutants in the environment. Many researchers have isolated Bt strains from multiple sites polluted by exogenous compounds and characterized and identified their xenobiotic-degrading potential. Furthermore, its pathway for degradation was also investigated at molecular level, and a number of major genes/enzymes responsible for degradation have been explored. At present, a variety of xenobiotics involved in degradation in Bt have been reported, including inorganic pollutants (used in the field of heavy metal biosorption and recovery and precious metal recovery and regeneration), pesticides (chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin, 2,2-dichloropropionic acid, etc.), organic tin, petroleum and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, reactive dyes (congo red, methyl orange, methyl blue, etc.), and ibuprofen, among others. In this paper, the biodegrading ability of Bt is reviewed according to the categories of related pollutants, so as to emphasize that Bt is a powerful agent for removing environmental pollutants.

Abstract
This study investigated the transformations of heavy metals (HMs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in rhizosphere soils and adaptive responses of rhizobacterial community under the real field conditions during four growth stages (e.g., greening, tillering, heading, and maturity) of early rice (Zhongjiazao 17) and late rice (Zhongyou 9918) in Jiangshe village (JSV) and Yangji village (YJV). Results showed that rhizosphere soils of YJV were mildly polluted by Cd and PAHs compared to that of JSV. The relative abundance of bioavailable Cd (bio-Cd) and bioavailable As (bio-As) in rhizosphere soil increased before the heading stage but decreased at the subsequent growth stage, but the content of ΣPAHs in rhizosphere soil decreased gradually during whole growth period. The dominant rhizobacteria genera at YJV (e.g., Bacillus, Massilia, Sphingomonas, and Geobacter) increased at an abundance level from the tillering to heading stage. Rhizobacteria interacted with the above co-pollutant more intensely at the tillering and heading stage, where genes involved in HM-resistance and PAH-degradation appeared to have a significant enhancement. The contents of bio-Cd and bio-As in rhizosphere soil of early rice were higher than that of late rice at each growth stage, especially at the heading stage. Bio-Cd, ΣPAHs, and organic matter were key factors influencing the community structure of rhizobacteria. Results of this study provide valuable insights about the interactions between HM-PAH co-pollutant and rhizobacterial community under real field conditions and thus develop in-situ rhizosphere remediation techniques for contaminated paddy fields.

[PMID: 37630356 PMCID: PMC10459520 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28166104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Biological methods are currently the most commonly used methods for removing hazardous substances from land. This research work focuses on the remediation of oil-contaminated land. The biodegradation of aliphatic hydrocarbons and PAHs as a result of inoculation with biopreparations B1 and B2 was investigated. Biopreparation B1 was developed on the basis of autochthonous bacteria, consisting of strains Dietzia sp. IN118, Gordonia sp. IN101, Mycolicibacterium frederiksbergense IN53, Rhodococcus erythropolis IN119, Rhodococcus globerulus IN113 and Raoultella sp. IN109, whereas biopreparation B2 was enriched with fungi, such as Aspergillus sydowii, Aspergillus versicolor, Candida sp., Cladosporium halotolerans, Penicillium chrysogenum. As a result of biodegradation tests conducted under ex situ conditions for soil inoculated with biopreparation B1, the concentrations of TPH and PAH were reduced by 31.85% and 27.41%, respectively. Soil inoculation with biopreparation B2 turned out to be more effective, as a result of which the concentration of TPH was reduced by 41.67% and PAH by 34.73%. Another issue was the phytoremediation of the pre-treated G6-3B2 soil with the use of Zea mays. The tests were carried out in three systems (system 1-soil G6-3B2 + Zea mays; system 2-soil G6-3B2 + biopreparation B2 + Zea mays; system 3-soil G6-3B2 + biopreparation B2 with γ-PGA + Zea mays) for 6 months. The highest degree of TPH and PAH reduction was obtained in system 3, amounting to 65.35% and 60.80%, respectively. The lowest phytoremediation efficiency was recorded in the non-inoculated system 1, where the concentration of TPH was reduced by 22.80% and PAH by 18.48%. Toxicological tests carried out using PhytotoxkitTM, OstracodtoxkitTM and Microtox® Solid Phase tests confirmed the effectiveness of remediation procedures and showed a correlation between the concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil and its toxicity. The results obtained during the research indicate the great potential of bioremediation practices with the use of microbial biopreparations and Zea mays in the treatment of soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons.

Abstract
As one of the most frequently detected PCB congeners in human adipose tissue, 2,2',3,4,4',5,5'-heptachlorobiphenyl (PCB 180) has attracted much attention. However, PCB 180 is difficult to be directly utilized by microorganisms due to its hydrophobicity and obstinacy. Herein, methanol (5 mM) as a co-metabolic carbon source significantly stimulated the degradation performance of microbial consortium QY2 for PCB 180 (51.9% higher than that without methanol addition). Six metabolic products including low-chlorinated PCBs and chlorobenzoic acid were identified during co-metabolic degradation, denoting that PCB 180 was metabolized via dechlorination, hydroxylation and ring-opening pathways. The oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by PCB 180 were dose-dependent, but the addition of methanol effectively promoted the tolerance of consortium QY2 to resist unfavorable environmental stress. Additionally, the significant reduction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enhancement of cell viability during methanol co-metabolic degradation proved that the degradation was a detoxification process. The microbial community and network analyses suggested that the potential PCB 180 degrading bacteria in the community (e.g., Achromobacter, Cupriavidus, Methylobacterium and Sphingomonas) and functional abundance of metabolic pathways were selectively enriched by methanol, and the synergies among species whose richness increased after methanol addition might dominate the degradation process. These findings provide new insights into the biodegradation of PCB 180 by microbial consortium.

Abstract
Pollution of heavy metals is one of the risky contaminations that should be managed for all intents and purposes of general well-being concerns. The bioaccumulation of these heavy metals inside our bodies and pecking orders will influence our people in the future. Bioremediation is a bio-mechanism where residing organic entities use and reuse the squanders that are reused to one more form. This could be accomplished by taking advantage of the property of explicit biomolecules or biomass that is equipped for restricting by concentrating the necessary heavy metal particles. The microorganisms can't obliterate the metal yet can change it into a less harmful substance. In this unique circumstance, this review talks about the sources, poisonousness, impacts, and bioremediation strategies of five heavy metals: lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium, and manganese. The concentrations here are the ordinary strategies for bioremediation such as biosorption methods, the use of microbes, green growth, and organisms, etc. This review demonstrates the toxicity of heavy metal contamination degradation by biotransformation through bacterioremediation and biodegradation through mycoremediation.

Inoculation of Indigenous Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi as a Strategy for the Recovery of Long-Term Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soils in a Mine-Spill Area. J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 9:jof9010056. [PMID: 36675877 PMCID: PMC9861793 DOI: 10.3390/jof9010056] [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: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offer an effective indirect mechanism to reduce heavy metal (HM) stress; however, it is still not clear which AMF species are more efficient as bioremediating agents. We selected different species of AMF: Rhizoglomus custos (Custos); Rhizoglomus sp. (Aznalcollar); and Rhizophagus irregularis (Intraradices), in order to study their inoculation in wheat grown in two soils contaminated with two levels of HMs; we tested the phytoprotection potential of the different AMF symbioses, as well as the physiological responses of the plants to HM stress. Plants inoculated with indigenous Aznalcollar fungus exhibited higher levels of accumulation, mainly in the shoots of most of the HM analyzed in heavily contaminated soil. However, the plants inoculated with the non-indigenous Custos and Intraradices showed depletion of some of the HM. In the less-contaminated soil, the Custos and Intraradices fungi exhibited the greatest bioaccumulation capacity. Interestingly, soil enzymatic activity and the enzymatic antioxidant systems of the plant increased in all AMF treatments tested in the soils with both degrees of contamination. Our results highlight the different AMF strategies with similar effectiveness, whereby Aznalcollar improves phytoremediation, while both Custos and Intraradices enhance the bioprotection of wheat in HM-contaminated environments.

Abstract
The bioremediation of heavy metals contaminated soils with macrofungi is a new and promising approach; hence Agaricus bisporus (Large) sing has potentially shown accumulating ability to Cd contamination. This study focused on the tolerance response by A. bisporus to different contents of Cd in the closed cup and the flat stage of fruiting body development. The contents of Cd, soluble protein, sugar, low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs), and antioxidant activity were investigated. The bioaccumulation factor and transfer factor results revealed that Cd accumulated in the cap of A. bisporus more than that in the stipe with the highest content being 18.38 mg kg-1 dry weight at the closed cup stage under 414.28 mg kg-1 Cd stress. High Cd content stress increased soluble protein, proline, and malonaldehyde contents at both stages; while higher peroxidase, catalase, ascorbic acid peroxidase activities, and LMWOAs contents were only recorded at the closed cup stage. On the other hand, Superoxide dismutase activities and soluble sugar content showed a complex trend. Overall, these results have successfully established that A. bisporus could resort to modulating its metabolism to avoid the destructive effects of Cd stress and could successfully accumulate Cd in the soil, which is a promising prospect for the remediation of Cd-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals are typical pollutants in the non-ferrous metal smelting industry. The combination of biodegradation and biomineralization has great development potential for co-contamination removal as an environmentally friendly method. Pyrene (Pyr) and cadmium (Cd) were regarded as model pollutants of co-contamination in this study. A bifunctional bacterial community named Ycp was screened from a non-ferrous smelting slag field soil. The 16S rRNA gene high throughput sequencing analysis showed that Enterobacter was the dominant genus (99.1%). Ycp had adaptability under a wide range of environmental conditions (pH 3-9, salinity 0-10 g L-1 NaCl, Pyr concentration 0-50 mg L-1, Cd concentration 0-100 mg L-1), and the removal rate of Pyr and Cd reached 41.8%-76.9%, 82.8%-98.8%, respectively. It was found that compound carbon sources had promoting effect on the removal of Pyr and Cd, with the maximum removal rate of 88.3% and 98.0%. According to the degradation products of Pyr by LC-MS analysis and the mineralized products of Cd2+ by XRD and SEM-EDS analysis, the mechanism of Ycp for co-contamination remediation was: Ycp biodegraded Pyr through salicylic acid and phthalic acid metabolic pathways, and biomineralized Cd2+ into CdCO3 through microbially induced carbonate precipitation. This study provided a basis for microbial remediation of co-contamination.

Abstract
Abstract
Although microbial remediation has been widely used in the bioremediation of various contaminants, in practical applications of biological remediation, pure cultures of microorganisms are seriously limited by their adaptability, efficiency, and capacity to handle multiple contaminants. Mixed cultures of microorganisms involve the symbiosis of two or more microorganisms. Such cultures exhibit a collection of the characteristics of each microorganism species or strain, showing enormous potential in the bioremediation of organic or heavy metal pollutants. The present review focuses on the mixed cultures of microorganisms, demonstrating its importance and summarizing the advantages of mixed cultures of microorganisms in bioremediation. Furthermore, the internal and external relations of mixed culture microorganisms were analyzed with respect to their involvement in the removal process to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Thermally enhanced bioremediation (TEB), a new concept proposed in recent years, explores the combination of thermal treatment and bioremediation to address the challenges of the low efficiency and long duration of bioremediation. This study presented a comprehensive review regarding the fundamentals of TEB and its applications in soil and groundwater remediation. The temperature effects on the bioremediation of contaminants were systematically reviewed. The thermal effects on the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of soil, and the corresponding changes of contaminants bioavailability and microbial metabolic activities were summarized. Specifically, the increase in temperature within a suitable range can proliferate enzymes enrichment, extracellular polysaccharides and biosurfactants production, and further enhancing bioremediation. Furthermore, a systematic evaluation of TEB applications by utilizing traditional in situ heating technologies, as well as renewable energy (e.g., stored aquifer thermal energy and solar energy), was provided. Additionally, TEB has been applied as a biological polishing technology post thermal treatment, which can be a cost-effective method to address the contaminants rebounds in groundwater remediation. However, there are still various challenges to be addressed in TEB, and future research perspectives to further improve the basic understanding and applications of TEB for the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater are presented.

Metabolomic analysis and oxidative stress response reveals the toxicity in Escherichia coli induced by organophosphate flame retardants tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate and triphenyl phosphate. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 291:133125. [PMID: 34861260 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.133125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2021] [Revised: 11/27/2021] [Accepted: 11/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are emerging environmental pollutants that are increasingly being used in consumer commodities. The adverse effects on biota induced by tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) and triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) have become a growing concern. Unfortunately, toxic mechanisms at the molecular level for OPFRs in organisms are still lacking. Herein, Escherichia coli (E.coli) was exposed to TCEP and TPHP for 24 and 48 h to reveal oxidative stress response and molecular toxicity mechanisms. The results indicated that promotion of ROS overload occurred at higher dosages groups. The levels of SOD and CAT were significantly elevated along with the increase of MDA attributed to lipid peroxidation. Additionally, apoptosis rates increased, accompanied by a decline in membrane potential and Na+/K+-ATPase and Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase contents, signifying that E. coli cytotoxicity induced by TCEP and TPHP was mediated by oxidative stress. Based on metabolomic analysis, different metabolic pathways were disrupted, including glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate metabolism, purine metabolism, glutathione metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, butanoate metabolism, alanine and aspartate metabolism. Most differentially expressed metabolites were downregulated, indicating an inhibitory effect on metabolic functions and key metabolic pathways. These findings generated new insights into the potential environmental risks of OPFRs in aquatic organisms.

Abstract
Microbial remediation has proven to be an effective technique for the cleanup of crude-oil contaminated sites. However, limited information exists on the dynamics involved in defined co-cultures of biosurfactant-producing bacteria and fungi in bioremediation processes. In this study, a fungal strain (Scedosporium sp. ZYY) capable of degrading petroleum hydrocarbons was isolated and co-cultured with biosurfactant-producing bacteria (Acinetobacter sp. Y2) to investigate their combined effect on crude-oil degradation. Results showed that the surface tension of the co-culture decreased from 63.12 to 47.58 mN m-1, indicating the secretion of biosurfactants in the culture. Meanwhile, the degradation rate of total petroleum hydrocarbon increased from 23.36% to 58.61% at the end of the 7-d incubation period. In addition, gas chromatography - mass spectrometry analysis showed a significant (P < 0.05) degradation from 3789.27 mg/L to 940.33 mg/L for n-alkanes and 1667.33 μg/L to 661.5 μg/L for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Moreover, RT-qPCR results revealed the high expression of alkB and CYP52 genes by Acinetobacter sp. Y2 and Scedosporium sp. ZYY respectively in the co-culture, which corelated positively (P < 0.01) with n-alkane removal. Finally, microbial growth assay which corresponded with Fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis activity, highlighted the synergistic behavior of both strains in tackling the crude oil. Findings in this study suggest that the combination of fungal strain and biosurfactant-producing bacteria effectively enhances the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons, which could shed new light on the improvement of bioremediation strategies.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 295:118686. [PMID: 34920044 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 68] [Impact Index Per Article: 34.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/12/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Systemic studies on the bioremediation of co-contaminated PAHs and heavy metals are lacking, and this paper provides an in-depth review on the topic. The released sources and transport of co-contaminated PAHs and heavy metals, including their co-occurrence through formation of cation-π interactions and their adsorption in soil are examined. Moreover, it is investigated that co-contamination of PAHs and heavy metals can drive a synergistic positive influence on bioremediation through enhanced secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs), production of biosynthetic genes, organic acid and enzymatic proliferation. However, PAHs molecular structure, PAHs-heavy metals bioavailability and their interactive cytotoxic effects on microorganisms can exert a challenging influence on the bioremediation under co-contaminated conditions. The fluctuations in bioavailability for microorganisms are associated with soil properties, chemical coordinative interactions, and biological activities under the co-contaminated PAHs-heavy metals conditions. The interactive cytotoxicity caused by the emergence of co-contaminants includes microbial cell disruption, denaturation of DNA and protein structure, and deregulation of antioxidant biological molecules. Finally, this paper presents the emerging strategies to overcome the bioavailability problems and recommends the use of biostimulation and bioaugmentation along with the microbial immobilization for enhanced bioremediation of PAHs-heavy metals co-contaminated sites. Better knowledge of the bioremediation potential is imperative to improve the use of these approaches for the sustainable and cost-effective remediation of PAHs and heavy metals co-contamination in the near future.

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

Abstract
Background Chromium is one of the most used toxic heavy metals. A large amount of chromium waste is discharged into the environment every year, causing serious environmental pollution, especially the pollution of soil and water by hexavalent chromium. Eliminating hexavalent chromium is the primary challenge to achieve a pollution-free environment. Objectives This study aims to understand the mechanism of Pichia guilliermondii's reduction of hexavalent chromium through enzymatic characteristic, oxidative stress response, and reduction product. Material and Methods The strain Pichia guilliermondii ZJH-1 was isolated and stored in our laboratory. The hexavalent chromium uses 1,5-diphenyl carbazide method (DPC) to measure. The UV spectrophotometer was used to measure the intracellular antioxidant enzyme activity, and the kit was used to measure the activity of catalase and glutathione reductase. The reduction products were analyzed by ultraviolet full-wavelength scanning and FTIR. Results The reduction of hexavalent chromium by ZJH-1 is accompanied by an increase in active oxygen and antioxidant levels. Chromate reductase mainly exists in the extracellular fluid, and the carboxyl, amide, hydroxide and other groups of the cell wall are involved in the bioremediation of Cr(VI) by complexing with Cr(VI) and Cr(III). After ZJH-1 was treated with different concentrations of Cr(VI), the expression of proteins with molecular weights of 15 kDa, 18 kDa, 35 kDa, 62 kDa, and 115 kDa increased significantly. This strain is the most suitable for chromate reductase (CChR). The optimum temperature is 40℃ and the optimum pH is 7.0. Cu2+ can enhance the activity of chromate reductase. At the optimum temperature and pH, the chromate reductase Km of this strain is 0.40 μmol and Vmax is 14.47 μmoL.L-1·min-1. Conclusions The bioremediation of Cr(VI) by Pichia guilliermondii ZJH-1 is attributable to the reduction product (Cr(III)) that can be removed in the precipitate and can be fixed on the cell surface and accumulated in the cell.

Abstract
Characteristics and resistant mechanisms of macro-fungus endophytic bacteria to cadmium (Cd) have not been well defined. Strains L1 and L3 with Cd-resistant capacity were isolated from the fruiting body of Coprinus comatus, which were identified as Bacillus sp. Under the stress of Cd, the morphologies of both L1 and L3 changed to reduce the threat of Cd. The results of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry indicated that functional groups such as -OH, -COOH, and -NH2 participated in the Cd adsorption process. The contents of Cd adsorbed on the cell wall of L1 were 83.46-174.51% higher than that of L3. On the contrary, the contents of Cd accumulated in L1 cytoplasm were 38.77-74.77% lower than that of L3. As the level of Cd increased from 10 to 30 mg/L, the percentages of Cd distributed on the cell walls of L1 and L3 increased by 42.43% and 26.78%, respectively. The results also revealed that the contents of Cd absorbed by the sterilized strains L1 and L3 were 47.67-64.94% and 8.65-78.63% higher than that of living ones, respectively. In addition, the proline production of L1 was 23.75-109.68% higher than that of L3, while the malondialdehyde (MDA) production of L1 was 0.96-15.60% lower than that of L3. Thus, through the comparison of endophytic bacterial physiological responses, the possible characteristics and resistant mechanisms of macro-fungus endophytic bacteria under Cd stress were firstly reported.

Abstract
Heavy metal contamination poses a serious environmental hazard, globally necessitating intricate attention. Heavy metals can cause deleterious health hazards to humans and other living organisms even at low concentrations. Environmental biotechnologists and eco-toxicologists have rigorously assessed a plethora of bioremediation mechanisms that can hamper the toxic outcomes and the molecular basis for rejuvenating the hazardous impacts, optimistically. Environmental impact assessment and restoration of native and positive scenario has compelled biological management in ensuring safety replenishment in polluted realms often hindered by heavy metal toxicity. Copious treatment modalities have been corroborated to mitigate the detrimental effects to remove heavy metals from polluted sites. In particular, Biological-based treatment methods are of great attention in the metal removal sector due to their high efficiency at low metal concentrations, ecofriendly nature, and cost-effectiveness. Due to rapid multiplication and growth rates, bacteria having metal resistance are advocated for metal removal applications. Evolutionary implications of coping with heavy metals toxicity have redressed bacterial adaptive/resistance strategies related to physiological and cross-protective mechanisms. Ample reviews have been reported for the bacterial adaptive strategies to cope with heavy metal toxicity. Nevertheless, a holistic review summarizing the redox reactions that address the cross-reactivity mechanisms between metallothionein synthesis, extracellular polysaccharides production, siderophore production, and efflux systems of metal resistant bacteria are scarce. Molecular dissection of how bacteria adapt themselves to metal toxicity can augment novel and innovative technologies for efficient detoxification, removal, and combat the restorative difficulties for stress alleviations. The present comprehensive compilation addresses the identification of newer methodologies, summarizing the prevailing strategies of adaptive/resistance mechanisms in bacterial bioremediation. Further pitfalls and respective future directions are enumerated in invigorating effective bioremediation technologies including overexpression studies and delivery systems. The analysis will aid in abridging the gap for limitations in heavy metal removal strategies and necessary cross-talk in elucidating the complex cascade of events in better bioremediation protocols.

Abstract
Pleurotus has great potential for heavy metal mycoremediation. Using comparative transcriptome analysis, the response of Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus cornucopiae under Cd contamination was evaluated. P. ostreatus and P. cornucopia accumulated 0.34 and 0.46 mg/g Cd in mycelium, respectively. Cd removal elevated with its concentration elevation, which reached 56.47% and 54.60% for P. ostreatus and P. cornucopia with Cd at 20 mg/L. Low-level Cd (≤ 1 mg/L) had no significant influence on either fungus, while varied response was observed under high-level Cd. 705 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in P. cornucopia at Cd1 and Cd20, whereas 12,551 DEGs in P. ostreatus. Differentially regulated functional categories and pathways were also identified. ATP-binding cassette transporters were involved in Cd transport in P. cornucopia, whereas the endocytosis and phagosome pathways were more enhanced in P. ostreatus. 26 enzymes including peroxisomal enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase were upregulated in P. ostreatus, whereas only cytosolic catalase was overexpressed in P. cornucopia, suggesting their different Cd detoxification pathways. Also, the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway involved in Cd resistance in both species instead of glutathione metabolism, although more active in P. ostreatus. These findings provided new insight into the molecular mechanism of mycoremediation and accumulator screening.

Abstract
Large amounts of cadmium (Cd) have been discharged into soil with the rapid development of industry. In this study, we revealed the impacts of Coprinus comatus (C. comatus) and Pleurotus cornucopiae (P. cornucopiae) on soil and the tolerance responses of macrofungi in the presence of Cd by the analysis of soil biochemical properties and macrofungi growth indexes. Results showed that with the cultivation of C. comatus and P. cornucopiae, the HOAc-extractable Cd in soil individually reduced by 9.53% and 11.35%, the activities of soil urease, acid phosphatase, dehydrogenase, and Fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolysis increased by 18.11-101.45%, 8.39-18.24%, 9.37-55.50% and 28.94-41.92%, respectively. Meanwhile, different soil bacterial communities were observed with various macrofungi cultivations. Also, Cd accumulation significantly enhanced the macrofungi antioxidant enzyme activities, which increased by 24.10-45.43%, 30.11-61.53% and 7.03-26.81% for catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in the macrofungi, respectively. Moreover, the enhanced macrofungi endophytic bacterial diversities with Cd existence was firstly observed in the present experiment. These findings revealed the possible Cd resistance mechanisms in macrofungi, suggesting C. comatus and P. cornucopiae were promising ameliorators for Cd contaminated soil.

Abstract
In the present study, 62 endophytic bacterial strains of cedar seeds (Cedrela odorataL.), collected in the municipalities of Huehuetán, Motozintla, and Pijijiapan in the state of Chiapas, Mexico were isolated. The goal was to identify characteristics of biotechnological interest such as biocontrol, promotion of plant growth, and growth in aromatic compounds. The strains were identified by the partial sequence of the 16S ribosomal gene as belonging to the Bacillusgenus. The biocontrol capacity of phytopathogenic fungi, production of indoleacetic acid (IAA), solubilization of phosphate, and growth in xenobiotic compounds (phenanthrene, benzene, anthracene, or phenol) were detected in 26 strains of the 62 isolates. 21 % of the strains inhibited the mycelial growth of Alternaria solaniand Fusariumsp., and 13 % of the Phytophthora capsicioomycete. IAA production was detected in 24 isolates, phosphate solubilizing activity was identified in 18 isolates, while the ability to grow in the presence of phenanthrene and benzene was found in 26 isolates; 24 isolates grew in the presence of anthracene and only two isolates grew in phenol as the only carbon sources. This is the first report of the isolation and identification of endophytic bacteria from cedar seeds, where biotechnological characteristics were detected for biological control, promotion of plant growth, and growth in the presence of xenobiotic compounds.

Tao Y, Huang H, Zhang H. Remediation of Cu-phenanthrene co-contaminated soil by soil washing and subsequent photoelectrochemical process in presence of persulfate. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 400:123111.

Abstract
A promising technology was proposed for the remediation of Cu and phenanthrene (PHE) co-contaminated soil. Firstly, Cu and PHE were simultaneously removed from soil using an extraction agent containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and Tween 80 (TW80). Specifically, Cu was mobilized by the chelation of EDTA while PHE was desorpted from soil by TW80 micelles. At 20 mL g-1 of liquid to soil ratio, 10 g L-1 TW80 and 1 mM EDTA, 73.5% Cu and 68.1% PHE were removed by soil washing. The extraction agent was then recovered from effluent by photoelectro-persulfate (PE/PS) process after soil washing. Under the conditions of 10 mM PS, 4 mA cm-2 current density, natural pH of 3.5 and 150 min treatment, 83.6% Cu was reduced to elemental copper but only 36.8% EDTA was recovered, while 99.6% PHE was eliminated and 94.0% TW80 was recovered. The result of quenching experiments indicated PHE was predominantly oxidized by sulfate radical, though hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen were also identified by electron paramagnetic resonance technique. The recovered extracting agent could be reused for further three washing cycles. The results demonstrated that soil washing followed by PE/PS process could be a cost-effective remediation technology for heavy metal and organic co-contaminated soil.

Abstract
Trace metal contamination is a widespread and complex environmental problem. Because fungi are capable of growing in adverse environments, several fungal species could have an interesting potential in remediation technologies for metal contaminated environments. This study proposes to test the ability to tolerate and biosorb three trace metals (Cd, Cu and Pb) of 28 fungal isolates collected from different soils. First, a tolerance assay in agar medium was performed. Each isolate was grown in the presence of Cd, Cu, and Pb at different concentrations. Then, we exposed each soil fungus to 50 mg L-1 of Cd, Cu, or Pb during 3 days in liquid medium. Parameters such as biomass production, pH, and biosorption were evaluated. The results showed that responses to metal exposure are very diverse even with fungi isolated from the same soil sample, or belonging to the same genera. Several isolates could be considered as good metal biosorbents and could be used in future mycoremediation studies. Among the 28 fungi tested, Absidia cylindrospora biosorbed more than 45% of Cd and Pb, Chaetomium atrobrunneum biosorbed more than 45% of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Coprinellus micaceus biosorbed 100% of Pb.

Abstract
Anthropogenic imbalance of chemical pollutants in environment raises serious threat to all life forms. Contaminated sites often possess multiple heavy metals and other types of pollutants. Elimination of chemical pollutants at co-contaminated sites is imperative for the safe ecosystem functions, and simultaneous removal approach is an attractive scheme for their remediation. Different conventional techniques have been applied as concomitant treatment solution but fall short at various parameters. In parallel, use of microorganisms offers an innovative, cost effective and ecofriendly approach for simultaneous treatment of various chemical pollutants. However, microbiostasis due to harmful effects of heavy metals or other contaminants is a serious bottleneck facing remediation practices in co-contaminated sites. But certain microorganisms have unique mechanisms to resist heavy metals, and can act on different noxious wastes. Considering this significant, my review provides information on different heavy metal resistant microorganisms for bioremediation of different chemical pollutants, and other assistance. In this favour, the integrated approach of simultaneous treatment of multiple heavy metals and other environmental contaminants using different heavy metal resistant microorganisms is summarized. Further, the discussion also intends toward the use of heavy metal resistant microorganisms associated with industrial and environmental applications, and healthcare. PREFACE: Simultaneous treatment of multiple chemical pollutants using microorganisms is relatively a new approach. Therefore, this subject was not well received for review before. Also, multipurpose application of heavy metal microorganisms has certainly not considered for review. In this regard, this review attempts to gather information on recent progress on studies on different heavy metal resistant microorganisms for their potential of treatment of co-contaminated sites, and multipurpose application.

Abstract
Soil co-contaminated with cadmium (Cd) and decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) is a widespread environmental problem, especially in electronic waste contaminated surroundings. Accumulation of Cd and BDE-209 in crops has possibly harmful effects on local human health. In order to assess the potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.) in remediation of soil co-contaminated with Cd and BDE-209, pot trials were performed to investigate interactive effects of AM fungi, Cd and BDE-209 on growth of amaranth, uptake of Cd and BDE-209, distribution of chemical forms of Cd and activities of antioxidant enzymes in shoots and dissipation of BDE-209 in soil. The present results showed that shoot biomass of non-mycorrhizal plants was significantly inhibited by increasing of Cd addition (5-15 mg kg-1), but were only slightly declined with BDE-209 addition (5 mg kg-1). The interaction of Cd and BDE-209 reduced the proportions of ethanol- and d-H2O-extractable Cd in shoots, consequently alleviated Cd toxicity to plants and enhanced root uptake of Cd and BDE-209. Inoculation of AM fungi resulted in significantly greater shoot biomass as well as higher concentrations of Cd and BDE-209 compared with non-mycorrhizal treatment. Moreover, AM fungi played a beneficial role in relieving oxidative stress on amaranth by increasing the activities of dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in shoots and significantly improved the dissipation of BDE-209 in soil. The present study suggested that combination of AM fungi and amaranth may be a potential option for remediation of Cd and BDE-209 co-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Silver ions discharged from various industries, are potentially toxic to living organisms at low concentrations, thus, there is an increasing need for development of an eco-friendly and cost-effective approach for its bioremediation. Filamentous fungi especially, Fusarium solani displayed a strong resistance to copper and cadmium ions as revealed from our previous study (El-Sayed 2014), however, the mechanisms of silver resistance by this fungus has not been resolved yet. Thus, this study was an extension to our previous work, to elucidate the mechanism of silver ions resistance and biotransformation by F. solani. The growth, bioaccumulation, thiol, total antioxidant, malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contents and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and catalase (CAT) activities of F. solani in response to silver ions were determined. Production and bioaccumulation of silver nanoparticles was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, TEM, and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The ultrastructural changes of F. solani induced by Ag(I) was examined by TEM and SEM. Production of oxalic acid by F. solani was increased by about 343.8% in response to 400 mg/l Ag(I), compared to control cultures (without silver ions) as revealed from HPLC analysis. The maximum biosorption levels by the native and alkali-treated biomass were carried out at pH 5.0, initial metal concentration 200 mg/l, biomass 0.5 g/l, temperature 35 °C, and contact time 1 h (native biomass) and 3 h (alkali-treated biomass). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results revealed that the main functional groups involved on this mycoremediation were C–S stretching, C=O C=N, C – H bending, C–N stretching and N–H bending. EDX spectra indicated the involvement of fungal cellular sulfur and phosphorus compounds in Ag(I) binding.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) in soil have caused serious environmental problems and increased healthy risks to humans and biota, it is vital important and necessary to develop effective methods to resolve the combined contaminated problems. In this study, strains L5 and L6 with good heavy metal resistant and immobilizing capacities were isolated from Cd and Ni contaminated soil. Bacterial characteristic experiment illustrated that many functional groups (-OH, -NH2 and -COO et al.) were distributed on the surface of L5 and L6. Under the stress of heavy metals, bacterial appearances were distorted. The pot experiment indicated that the concentrations of HOAc-extractable Cd and Ni in soil reduced 6.26-15.33% and 13.31-19.53% with the inoculation of L5 and L6. In addition, the immobilization rates on Cd and Ni improved 61.27-128.50% and 23.69-39.66% with re-inoculation of strains L5 and L6 at 30 days, respectively. After inoculation of strains L5 and L6 for 60 days, the activities of FDA hydrolysis, acid phosphatase, urease, invertase and dehydrogenase in soil increased obviously. Furthermore, bacterial diversity indexes and community structure of soil were also improved. Thus, given the beneficial remediation effects of the isolated strains, L5 and L6 have great potentials for heavy metals contaminated soil remediation.

Abstract
Phytoremediation is an economical strategy to harvest cadmium (Cd) from contaminated soil, but the efficiency of phytoremediation was affected by many factors. This study investigated the potential of Serratia sp. K3 (K3) assisted with straw biogas residue (SBR) or leavening fertilizer (LF) on improving the Cd migration efficiency and micro-environment in soil-vetiveria zizanioides L. system. The results showed that the acid soluble Cd in soil was increased by 2.83-29.79% in treatments compared with control (CK). In addition, Cd accumulation in the roots and shoots of vetiveria zizanioides were significantly enhanced by the combination of K3 and SBR/LF. Especially, the translocation factor of Cd increased by 21.53-62.37% in groups with K3 compared with the groups without K3, correspondingly. Furthermore, SBR/LF effectively changed bacterial community structure, and improved bacterial abundance. Relative abundance of functional genes related with carbohydrate/energy/amino acid metabolism were increased in groups of SBRB/LFB rhizosphere compared with CK. These results provide insight into the change of phytoremediation efficiency and soil bacterial communities in the vetiveria zizanioides rhizosphere after inoculation. This study may provide a promising method for improving phytoremediation in Cd contaminated soil.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2019; 255:113252. [PMID: 31542610 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.113252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2019] [Revised: 08/23/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
To develop a high efficient and eco-friendly approach to remediate cadmium (Cd) contaminated soil, we designed the activation and extraction systems, on the basis of combined effects between the ability of organic acids to activate Cd and the ability of mushroom accumulator (Lentinus edodes) to extract Cd. The results showed that the proportion of acetic acid-extractable Cd significant increased with the application of exogenous organic acids. Additionally, soil microecology analysis indicated that exogenous organic acids evidently enhanced the numbers of microbial cells and the activities of soil enzymes. Besides, high throughput sequencing analysis revealed exogenous organic acids improved the diversity and structure of soil bacterial community after remediation. Particularly, the combination application of mushroom and exogenous citric acid had highest accumulation efficiency of Cd, and its efficiency was 59.19% higher than single mushroom treatment. Hence, exogenous organic acids could alleviate soil microecology and increase mycoextraction efficiency, which suggested it was a feasible route to remediate Cd contaminated soil by the activation and extraction systems.

Abstract
Remediation of soils and groundwater in a municipal solid wastes (MSW) landfill site emerges as a global challenge to the living environment on earth with significant market potential. Unlike contaminants in an industry or agricultural site, contaminants from MSW landfills are diverse, primarily consisting of chemical oxygen demand (COD), inorganic matter (ammonia-nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen, total phosphorus) and heavy metals. This renders new challenges to remediation contaminants of different characters altogether. A status quo of existing technologies, including permeable reactive barriers, electrokinetic remediation, microbial remediation, and injection of either solubilizing agents or micro or nanobubbles were thoroughly reviewed, with an emphasis on removal efficiency based on existing projects at lab, pilot or field scales. A design chart tailored for the remediation of a landfill contaminated site was developed, verified by a few case studies, which supplement the chart. Future trends of technical innovation (such as multi-layer permeable reactive barriers (PRBs)) and challenges (such as flow pattern) were identified.

Abstract
Aromatic compounds and arsenic (As) often coexist in the environment. As(III)-oxidizing bacteria can oxidize the more toxic As(III) into the less toxic As(V), and As(V) is easily removed. Microorganisms with the ability to degrade aromatic compounds and oxidize arsenite [As(III)] may have strong potential to remediate co-contaminated water. In this study, a Gram-negative bacterium Hydrogenophaga sp. H7 was shown to simultaneously degrade 3-hydroxybenzoate (3-HBA) or 4-HBA (3-/4-HBA) and oxidize arsenite [As(III)] to arsenate [As(V)] during culture. Notably, the addition of As(III) enhanced the degradation rates of 3-/4-HBA, while the addition of 3-/4-HBA resulted in a slight delay in As(III) oxidation. Use of a 1% bacterial culture in combination with FeCl3 could completely degrade 250 mg/L 3-HBA or 4-HBA and remove 400 μM As(III) from simulated lake water within 28 h. Genomic analysis revealed the presence of As(III) oxidation/resistance genes and two putative 3-/4-HBA degradation pathways (the protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase degradation pathway and the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase degradation pathway). Comparative proteomics suggested that strain H7 degraded 4-HBA via the protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase degradation pathway in the absence of As(III); however, 4-HBA could be degraded via the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase degradation pathway in the presence of As(III). In the presence of As(III), more NADH was produced by the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase degradation pathway and/or by As(III) oxidation, which explained the enhancement of bacterial 4-HBA degradation in the presence of As(III). In addition, the key gene dmpB, which encodes catechol 2,3-dioxygenase in the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase degradation pathway, was knocked out, which resulted in the disappearance of As(III)-enhanced bacterial 4-HBA degradation from the dmpB mutant strain, which further confirmed that As(III) enhancement of 4-HBA degradation was due to the utilization of the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase pathway. These discoveries indicate that Hydrogenophaga sp. H7 has promise for the application to the removal of aromatic compounds and As co-contamination and reveal the relationship between As oxidation and aromatic compound degradation.

Abstract
Phenanthrene (PHE) is a common pollutant of acidic and non-acidic environments that is recalcitrant to biodegradation. Herein, Burkholderia fungorum FM-2 (GenBank accession no. KM263605) was isolated from oil-contaminated soil in Xinjiang and characterized morphologically, physiologically, and phylogenetically. Environmental parameters including PHE concentration, pH, temperature, and salinity were optimized, and heavy metal tolerance was investigated. The MIC of strain FM-2 tolerant to Pb(II) and Cd(II) was 50 and 400 mg L−1, respectively, while the MIC of Zn(II) was >1,200 mg L−1. Atypically for a B. fungorum strain, FM-2 utilized PHE (300 mg L−1) as a sole carbon source over a wide pH range (between pH 3 and 9). PHE and heavy metal metabolism were assessed using gas chromatography (GC), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrometry. The effects of heavy metals on the bioremediation of PHE in soil were investigated, and the findings suggest that FM-2 has potential for combined bioremediation of soils co-contaminated with PHE and heavy metals.

Abstract
Fungi are promising materials for soil metal bioextraction and thus biomining. Here, a macrofungi-based system was designed for rapid cadmium (Cd) removal from alkaline soil. The system realized directed and rapid fruiting body development for subsequent biomass harvest. The Cd removal efficiency of the system was tested through a pot culture experiment. It was found that aging of the added Cd occurred rapidly in the alkaline soil upon application. During mushroom growth, the soil solution remained considerably alkaline, though a significant reduction in soil pH was observed in both Cd treatments. Cd and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in soil solution generally increased over time and a significant correlation between them was detected in both Cd treatments, suggesting that the mushroom‒substratum system has an outstanding ability to mobilize Cd in an alkaline environment. Meanwhile, the growth of the mushrooms was not affected relative to the control. The estimated Cd removal efficiency of the system was up to 12.3% yearly thanks to the rapid growth of the mushroom and Cd enrichment in the removable substratum. Transcriptomic analysis showed that gene expression of the fruiting body presented considerable differences between the Cd treatments and control. Annotation of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) indicated that cell wall sorption, intracellular binding, and vacuole storage may account for the cellular Cd accumulation. In conclusion, the macrofungi-based technology designed in this study has the potential to become a standalone biotechnology with practical value in soil heavy metal removal, and continuous optimization may make the system useful for biomining.

Abstract
For decades, human activities, industrialization, and agriculture have contaminated soils and water with several compounds, including potentially toxic metals and organic persistent xenobiotics. The co-occurrence of those toxicants poses challenging environmental problems, as complicated chemical interactions and synergies can arise and lead to severe and toxic effects on organisms. The use of fungi, alone or with bacteria, for bioremediation purposes is a growing biotechnology with high potential in terms of cost-effectiveness, an environmental-friendly perspective and feasibility, and often representing a sustainable nature-based solution. This paper reviews different ecological, metabolic, and physiological aspects involved in fungal bioremediation of co-contaminated soils and water systems, not only addressing best methods and approaches to assess the simultaneous presence of metals and organic toxic compounds and their consequences on provided ecosystem services but also the interactions between fungi and bacteria, in order to suggest further study directions in this field.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2018; 154:45-51.

Abstract
Cd-induced stress response of Phanerochaete chrysosporium during the biodegradation of BDE-47 was investigated in this study, with the goal of elucidating the tolerance behavior and the detoxification mechanisms of P. chrysosporium to resist the Cd stress in the course of BDE-47 biodegradation, which has implications for expanding the application of P. chrysosporium in the bioremediation of Cd and BDE-47 combined pollution. The results suggested that single BDE-47 exposure did not induce obvious oxidative stress in P. chrysosporium, but coexistent Cd significantly triggered ROS generation, both intracellular ROS level and H2O2 content showed positive correlation with Cd concentration. The activities of SOD and CAT were enhanced by low level of Cd (≤ 1 mg/L), but Cd of higher doses (>1 mg/L) depressed the expression of these two antioxidant enzymes at the later exposure period (3-5 days). The intracellular content of GSH along with GSH/GSSG ratio also exhibited a bell-shaped response with a maximum value at Cd of 1 mg/L. Furthermore, Cd-induced ROS generation resulted in the lipid peroxidation, as indicated by a noticeable increment of MDA content found after 3 days. Moreover, the study also indicated that Cd less than 1 mg/L promoted the production of extracellular protein and quickened the decrease of pH value in the medium, while excessive Cd (>1 mg/L) would lead to inhibition. These findings obtained demonstrated that P. chrysosporium had a certain degree of tolerance to Cd within a specific concentration range via regulating the antioxidant levels, inducing the synthesis of extracellular protein as well as stimulating the production of organic acids, and 1 mg/L is suggested to be the tolerance threshold of this strains under Cd stress during BDE-47 biodegradation.

Abstract
To develop an efficient and environmental-friendly approach to detoxicate nickel (Ni) and fluoranthene co-contaminated soil, the combined application of Coprinus comatus (C. comatus) with Serratia sp. FFC5 and/or Enterobacter sp. E2 was investigated. The pot experiment tested the influences of bacterial inoculation on the growth of C. comatus, content of Ni in C. comatus, Ni speciation in soil, fluoranthene dissipation, soil enzymatic activities, bacterial population and community structure. With the inoculation of bacteria, the fresh weights of C. comatus, concentration of Ni in C. comatus and the dissipation rates of fluoranthene were increased by 17.73-29.38%, 68.97-204.97% and 34.84-60.90%, respectively. Notably, results illustrated that the co-inoculation of FFC5 and E2 showed better effect in biomass enhancement, Ni accumulation and fluoranthene dissipation than solitary inoculation. Simultaneously, higher soil enzymatic and microbiological activities suggested that the integrated detoxication method of bacteria and C. comatus could improve soil quality. Therefore, we can infer that bacterial inoculation strengthened detoxication effect of C. comatus in Ni-fluoranthene co-contaminated soil, indicating that the combined application of C. comatus and bacteria can be an efficient alternative for detoxicating Ni and fluoranthene co-contaminated soil.

Abstract
In plants, hydrogen gas (H2) enhances tolerance to several abiotic stresses, including salinity and heavy metals. However, the effect of H2 on fungal growth under different stresses remains largely unclear. In this study, hydrogen-rich water (HRW) was employed to characterize physiological roles and molecular mechanisms of H2 in the alleviation of three different stresses in basidiomycete Hypsizygus marmoreus. Our results showed that HRW treatment, of which the H2 concentration was 0.8 mM, significantly reduced the toxicities of CdCl2, NaCl and H2O2, leading to significantly improved mycelial growth and biomass. These beneficial effects could be attributed to a significantly decreased formation of malondialdehyde (MDA). Besides, HRW treatment significantly increased the activities of antioxidants (SOD, CAT and GR) as well as the gene expressions of these antioxidants (SOD, CAT, and GR) at the mRNA level. In vivo detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including H2O2 and O2−, as well as lipid peroxidation provided further evidence that HRW could significantly improve tolerances of CdCl2, NaCl and H2O2. Furthermore, pyruvate kinase was activated in the mycelia treated with HRW, along with its induced gene expression, suggesting that HRW treatment enhanced the glucose metabolism. Taken together, our findings suggested that the usage of HRW could be an effective approach for contaminant detoxification in H. marmoreus, which was similar with the effects of HRW in plants, and such effects could be also beneficial in entire agricultural system.

Abstract
White rot fungi have been proved to be a promising option for the removal of heavy metals, understanding their toxic response to heavy metals is conducive to developing and popularizing fungi-based remediation technologies so as to lessen the hazard of heavy metals. In this study, Cr(VI)-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in Pycnoporus sanguineus, a species of white rot fungi were investigated. The results suggested that high level of Cr(VI) promoted the formation of ROS, including H2O2, O2•- and ·OH. With the increment of Cr(VI) concentration, the SOD and CAT activity along with GSH content increased within the first 24 h, but decreased afterward, companied with a significant enhancement of MDA content. Cr(VI)-induced oxidative damage further caused and aggravated apoptosis in P. sanguineus, especially at Cr(VI) concentrations above 20 mg/L. Cr(VI)-induced apoptosis was involved with mitochondrial dysfunction including mitochondrial depolarization, the enhancement of mitochondrial permeability and release of cytochrome c. The early and late apoptosis hallmarks, such as metacaspase activation, phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization, DNA fragmentation and the nuclear condensation and fragmentation were observed. Moreover, we also found disturbances of ion homeostasis, which was featured by K+ effluxes and overload of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial Ca2+.Based on these results, we suggest that Cr(VI) induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in white rot fungi, P. sanguineus.

CHEMOSPHERE 2017; 172:449-458.

Abstract
To implement effective control and abatement programs for contaminants accumulating in sediments, strategies are needed for evaluating the quality of amended sediments. In this study, phytotoxicity of the sediments contaminated by cadmium and phenanthrene was evaluated after in situ remediation with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as adsorbents. Adsorption experiments and measurement of aqueous concentrations of the contaminants in overlying water were used to investigate the remediation effectiveness from physical and chemical aspects. The results indicated that MWCNTs showed a much better adsorption performance towards phenanthrene and Cd(II) compared with the sediments. The in situ remediation with MWCNTs could distinctly decrease the aqueous concentrations of phenanthrene and Cd(II) released from the sediments, reducing environmental risk towards overlying water. Influences of MWCNTs dose, MWCNTs diameter, and contact time on phtotoxicity of the contaminated sediments were studied. No significant inhibition of the amended sediments on germination of the test species was observed in the experiments, while the root growth was more sensitive than biomass production to the changes of contaminant concentrations. The analysis of Pearson correlation coefficients between evaluation indicators and associated remediation parameters suggested that phytotoxicity of sediments might inaccurately indicate the changes of pollutant content, but it was significant in reflecting the ecotoxicity of sediments after remediation.
