Abstract
Heterocyclic amines (HAs) are a group of mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds produced from the processing of high-protein foods, which include 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4, 5-f]quinoline (IQ) showing the strongest carcinogenic effect. Camels are able to digest HAs in foods, which provide rich microbial resources for the study. Thus, camel rumen and intestinal microbiota were used to degrade IQ, and the dominant microorganisms and their degradation characteristics were investigated. After three generations of culture with IQ as the sole carbon source, the highest abundance in rumen and intestinal microbes was found in the Proteobacteria phylum. The strains of third generation of the rumen contents were mainly attributed to the genera Brevundimonas and Pseudomonas, and the dominant genera in intestine were Ochrobactrum, Bacillus, and Pseudomonas. Microorganisms were further isolated and purified from the third generation cultures. These 27 strains from the rumen (L1-L27) and 23 strains from the intestine (C1-C23) were obtained. Among them, four strains with the most effective degrading abilities were as follows: L6 (28.55% of IQ degrading rate) and C1 (25.19%) belonged to the genus Ochrobactrum, L15 (23.41%) belonged to the genus Pseudomonas, and C16 (20.89%) were of the genus Bacillus. This study suggested the application of abundant microbial resources from camels' digestive tract to biodegrade foodborne toxins.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 931:172910.

Abstract
Significant impairment of pulmonary function has been demonstrated through long-term exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides, such as imidacloprid (IMI). However, the underlying mechanisms of lung injury induced by IMI remain unclear. In this study, a mouse model of IMI-induced pulmonary injury was established, and the toxicity and lung damage were assessed through mouse body weight, organ index, hematological parameters, and histopathological analysis of lung tissues. Furthermore, metabolomics and transcriptomics techniques were employed to explore the mechanistic aspects. Results from the toxicity assessments indicated that mouse body weight was significantly reduced by IMI, organ index was disturbed, and hematological parameters were disrupted, resulting in pulmonary injury. The mechanistic experimental results indicate that the differences in metabolites and gene expression in mouse lungs could be altered by IMI. Validation of the results through combined analysis of metabolomics and transcriptomics revealed that the mechanism by which IMI induces lung injury in mice might be associated with the activation of the TLR4 receptor, thereby activating the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway to induce inflammation in mouse lungs. This study provided valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying IMI-induced pulmonary damage, potentially contributing to the development of safer pest control strategies. The knowledge gained served as a robust scientific foundation for the prevention and treatment of IMI-related pulmonary injuries.

Understanding the role of graphene oxide in affecting PAHs biodegradation by microorganisms: An integrated analysis using 16SrRNA, metatranscriptomic, and metabolomic approaches. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 457:131811.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO)-promoted microbial degradation technology is considered an important strategy to eliminate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment; however, the mechanism by which GO affects microbial degradation of PAHs has not been fully studied. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the effect of GO-microbial interaction on PAHs degradation at the microbial community structure, community gene expression, and metabolic levels using multi-omics combined technology. We treated PAHs-contaminated soil samples with different concentrations of GO and analyzed the soil samples for microbial diversity after 14 and 28 days. After a short exposure, GO reduced the diversity of soil microbial community but increased potential degrading microbial abundance, promoting PAHs biodegradation. This promotion effect was further influenced by the GO concentration. In a short period of time, GO upregulated the expression of genes involved in microbial movement (flagellar assembly), bacterial chemotaxis, two-component system, and phosphotransferase system in the soil microbial community and increased the probability of microbial contact with PAHs. Biosynthesis of amino acids and carbon metabolism of microorganisms were accelerated, thereby increasing the degradation of PAHs. With the extension of time, the degradation of PAHs stagnated, which may be due to the weakened stimulation of GO on microorganisms. The results showed that screening specific degrading microorganisms, increasing the contact area between microorganisms and PAHs, and prolonging the stimulation of GO on microorganisms were important means to improve the biodegradation efficiency of PAHs in soil. This study elucidates how GO affects microbial PAHs degradation and provides important insights for the application of GO-assisted microbial degradation technology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to environmental pollutants, including benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), has been implicated in allergic diseases and intestinal microbiota homeostasis, but the environment-microbiota-immunity triangular relationship and to what extent BaP-induced remodeling of the gut microbiota contributes to intestinal allergic inflammation remain to be established. OBJECTIVES We investigated the impact of BaP on intestinal allergic inflammation and examined the relationship between this effect and gut microbiota dysbiosis. We explored the potential ability of intestinal bacteria to degrade BaP and alleviate cytotoxicity as a detoxification strategy to counteract the effects of BaP exposure. METHODS We combined microbiome shotgun metagenomics with animal histological and intestinal allergic inflammatory responses to assess the effects of BaP (50μg/mouse per day) in a 23-d toxicity test in antigen-induced allergic female mice. In addition, genome annotation, quantitative analysis of BaP, and in vitro cytotoxicity-tests using CaCo-2 cells were conducted to infer the role of intestinal bacteria in BaP detoxification. RESULTS BaP exposure impacted the taxonomic composition and the functional potential of the gut microbiota and aggravated antigen-induced intestinal allergic inflammatory responses. The level of inflammatory cytokines correlated with the abundance of specific bacterial taxa, including Lachnospiraceae bacterium 28-4 and Alistipes inops. We identified 614 bacteria harboring genes implicated in the degradation of BaP, and 4 of these bacterial strains were shown to significantly reduce the cytotoxicity of BaP to CaCo-2 cells in vitro. DISCUSSION Using allergic female mice as a model, we investigated the relationship between BaP, microbiota, and host immune reactions, highlighting the role of gut bacteria in BaP-aggravated allergic reactions. Our findings offer novel insight toward establishing the causal relationship between BaP exposure and the occurrence of allergic disorders. Identifying gut bacteria that degrade BaP may provide new strategies for ameliorating BaP cytotoxicity. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP11874.

Abstract
Considering the simple preparation of biochar and the excellent activation performance of cobalt ferrate material, a biochar supported cobalt ferrate composite was synthesized by a solvothermal method. The material was used to activate persulfate (PS) to degrade naphthalene (NAP) in water. The structure and morphology characterization showed that the composite (CoFe2O4-BC) was successfully prepared. Under the conditions of 0.25 g L-1 CoFe2O4-BC and 1 mM PS, 90.6% NAP (the initial concentration was 0.1 mM) was degraded after 30 minutes. The degradation kinetics of NAP followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model with a rate constant of 0.0645 min-1. With the increase of the dosage of activator and PS, the removal rate of NAP could be increased to 99.5%. The coexistence of anions and humic acids inhibited the removal of NAP. The acid environment promoted the removal of NAP while the alkaline environment inhibited it. After four cycles of CoFe2O4-BC material, the removal rate of NAP decreased from 90.6% to 79.4%. The removal of TOC was about 45% after each cycle. After the first cycle, the concentration of leached cobalt ion and leached iron ion was about 310 μg L-1 and 30 μg L-1 respectively. The free radical quenching experiments showed that SO4 -˙ and OH˙ were the main causes of NAP removal, and the possible degradation path of NAP was elucidated by DFT calculation.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to verify the effect of bioaugmentation by the bacterial consortium YS with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) in a soil slurry. The bacterial consortium YS was enriched from a petroleum-polluted soil using pyrene as sole carbon resource. After 3 weeks, the degradation rate of phenanthrene in CK increased from 22.58% to 55.23 and 78.21% in bioaugmentation (B) and HPCD + bioaugmentation (MB) respectively. The degradation rate of pyrene in CK increased from 17.33% to 51.10% and 60.32% in B and MB respectively in the slurry. The augmented YS persisted in the slurry as monitored by 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing and outcompeted some indigenous bacteria. Enhanced polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation was observed in the addition of HPCD due to the enhanced bioavailability of phenanthrene and pyrene. Additionally, the amount of PAH-degrading bacteria and enzymatic activity in bioaugmentation with HPCD were higher than that in the CK group. The results indicated that bioaugmentation with a bacterial consortium and HPCD is an environmentally friendly method for the bioremediation of PAH-polluted soil.

Abstract
The rapid pace of economic development has resulted in the release of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the environment. Microbial degradation using white-rot fungi is a promising method for the removal of PAHs from the environment. In the present study, biodegradation of recalcitrant PAH by a white-rot fungus, Trametes maxima IIPLC-32, was investigated using pyrene. The pyrene concentration decreased by 79.80%, 65.37%, and 56.37% within 16 days from the initial levels of 10 mg L-1, 25 mg L-1, and 50 mg L-1, respectively. Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric identification of prominent metabolites 1-hydroxypyrene, 2-methyl-1-naphthyl acetic acid, di-n-butyl phthalate, and diethyl phthalate helped in determining the pyrene degradation pathway. The presence of 81 extracellular proteins was revealed by secretome analysis. The identified proteins up-regulated in response to pyrene degradation were classified into detoxification proteins (6.12%), redox proteins (6.12%), stress proteins (4.08%), metabolic-related proteins (26.53%), translation and transcriptional proteins (49%), catalytic proteins (49%), and other proteins (8.16%). Knowledge of secretome analysis in pyrene degradation helped to understand the degradation mechanism of pyrene. Also, the study suggests that T. maxima IIPLC-32 has the potential to be used in the bioremediation of PAH contaminated aquatic environment.

An insight on microbial degradation of benzo[a]pyrene: current status and advances in research. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 38:61.

Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon produced as a result of incomplete combustion of organic substances. Over the years, the release of BaP in the atmosphere has increased rapidly, risking human lives. BaP can form bonds with DNA leading to the formation of DNA adducts thereby causing cancer. Therefore addressing the problem of its removal from the environment is quite pertinent though it calls for a very cumbersome and tedious process owing to its recalcitrant nature. To resolve such issues many efforts have been made to develop physical and chemical technologies of BaP degradation which have neither been cost-effective nor eco-friendly. Microbial degradation of BaP, on the other hand, has gained much attention due to added advantage of the high level of microbial diversity enabling great potential to degrade the substance without impairing environmental sustainability. Microorganisms produce enzymes like oxygenases, hydrolases and cytochrome P450 that enable BaP degradation. However, microbial degradation of BaP is restricted due to several factors related to its bio-availability and soil properties. Technologies like bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation have served to enhance the degradation rate of BaP. Besides, advanced technologies such as omics and nano-technology have opened new doors for a better future of microbial degradation of BaP and related compounds.

Abstract
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are major toxic and recalcitrant pollutants in the environment. This study assessed the capacity of an isolated soil microbial consortium (OMC) to biodegrade PAHs. OMC was able to reach 100% biodegradation of naphthalene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, fluorene and phenanthrene in solution, and up to 76% and 50% of anthracene and fluoranthene, respectively, from a mix of 16 PAHs. To measure phenanthrene (PHE) mineralization, OMC and eight strains isolated from OMC were used and identified by PCR amplification of the gene 16S ribosomal RNA. A novel Stenotrophomonas maltophilia CPHE1, not previously described as a PAH degrader, was able to mineralize almost 40% PHE and biodegrade 90.5% in solution, in comparison to OMC that reached 100% PHE degradation, but only 18.8% mineralization. Based on metabolites identified during PHE degradation and on the detection of two genes (PAH RHDα and nahAc) in OMC consortium, two possible via were described for its degradation, through salicylic and phthalic acid. PAH RHDα, which codified the first step on PHE biodegradation pathway, was also found in the DNA of S. maltophilia CPHE1. An ecotoxicology study showed that PHE bioremediation after inoculating S. maltophilia CPHE1 for 30 days decreased by half the solution toxicity.

[PMID: 33045463 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Revised: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
This study conducted the sorption and biodegradation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) by microbial biofilm communities developed on proxies for materials typically found in soils. The half-life of BaP was 4.7 and 2.3 weeks for biofilms on the inorganic carrier (BCINOR, montmorillonite) and on the organic carrier (BCOR, humic acid), respectively. In contrast, the half-life was 7.0 weeks for specialized planktonic cultures (PK). The exposure to BaP caused the development of lipid inclusion bodies inside the bacteria of the PK systems and biofilms of the BCINOR, but not on the biofilms of the BCOR system. Interestingly, the BCOR displayed not only the greatest BaP sorption capacity but also the greatest bacterial density and membrane integrity and the shortest bacteria-to-bacteria distances, which were consistent with the increased production of cell surface extracellular polymeric substances on the BCOR. Both carriers caused a noticeable shift in the bacterial genera during the biodegradation of the BaP. The BCINOR selected for Rhodococcus, Brucella, Chitinophaga, and Labrys, whereas the BCOR favored Rhodococcus and Dokdonella. It indicated that ultra-structure and BaP degradation within the organic carrier-attached biofilms differed from the inorganic ones, and suggested that the microstructural heterogeneity and microbial biodiversity from biofilms on the organic carrier promoted biodegradation.

Abstract
In the field of sewage treatment, the identification of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) usually relies on biological experiments. However, biological experiments are not only complicated and time-consuming, but also costly. In recent years, machine learning has been widely used in many fields, but it is seldom used in the water treatment. The present work presented a high accuracy support vector machine (SVM) algorithm to realize the rapid identification and prediction of PAOs. We obtained 6,318 genome sequences of microorganisms from the publicly available microbial genome database for comparative analysis (MBGD). Minimap2 was used to compare the genomes of the obtained microorganisms in pairs, and read the overlap. The SVM model was established using the similarity of the genome sequences. In this SVM model, the average accuracy is 0.9628 ± 0.019 with 10-fold cross-validation. By predicting 2,652 microorganisms, 22 potential PAOs were obtained. Through the analysis of the predicted potential PAOs, most of them could be indirectly verified their phosphorus removal characteristics from previous reports. The SVM model we built shows high prediction accuracy and good stability.

Current Status of and Future Perspectives in Bacterial Degradation of Benzo[a]pyrene. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 18:ijerph18010262. [PMID: 33396411 PMCID: PMC7795093 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18010262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2020] [Revised: 12/18/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is one the main pollutants belonging to the high-molecular-weight PAHs (HMW-PAHs) class and its degradation by microorganisms remains an important strategy for its removal from the environment. Extensive studies have been carried out on the isolation and characterisation of microorganisms that can actively degrade low-molecular-weight PAHs (LMW-PAHs), and to a certain extent, the HMW-PAH pyrene. However, so far, limited work has been carried out on BaP biodegradation. BaP consists of five fused aromatic rings, which confers this compound a high chemical stability, rendering it less amenable to biodegradation. The current review summarizes the emerging reports on BaP biodegradation. More specifically, work carried out on BaP bacterial degradation and current knowledge gaps that limit our understanding of BaP degradation are highlighted. Moreover, new avenues of research on BaP degradation are proposed, specifically in the context of the development of "omics" approaches.

Abstract
Petroleum is the major energy matrix in the world whose refining generates chemical byproducts that may damage the environment. Among such waste, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are considered persistent pollutants. Sixteen of these are considered priority for remediation, and among them is benzo(a)pyrene. Amid remediation techniques, bioremediation stands out. The genus Burkholderia is amongst the microorganisms known for being capable of degrading persistent compounds; its strains are used as models to study such ability. High-throughput sequencing allows researchers to reach a wider knowledge about biodegradation by bacteria. Using transcripts and mRNA analysis, the genomic regions involved in this aptitude can be detected. To unravel these processes, we used the model B. vietnamiensis strain G4 in two experimental groups: one was exposed to benzo(a)pyrene and the other one (control) was not. Six transcriptomes were generated from each group aiming to compare gene expression and infer which genes are involved in degradation pathways. One hundred fifty-six genes were differentially expressed in the benzo(a)pyrene exposed group, from which 33% are involved in catalytic activity. Among these, the most significant genomic regions were phenylacetic acid degradation protein paaN, involved in the degradation of organic compounds to obtain energy; oxidoreductase FAD-binding subunit, related to the regulation of electrons within groups of dioxygenase enzymes with potential to cleave benzene rings; and dehydrogenase, described as accountable for phenol degradation. These data provide the basis for understanding the bioremediation of benzo(a)pyrene and the possible applications of this strain in polluted environments.

Abstract
Fluorophores SYTO 9 and propidium iodide (PI) are extensively applied in medicine, food industry and environmental monitoring to assess the viability of bacteria. However, the actual performance of these dyes remains largely unknown. In addition, their effects on the physiology of cells have not been elucidated. Here we characterized the effects of these two dyes on Brevibacillus brevis under optimized staining. We found that SYTO 9 entered cells continuously while PI tended to adhere to the cell wall before entering the cell. In addition, results showed that a high amount of the dyes altered the physicochemical properties of membranes, improving their breakthrough. These results provide new perspectives and ideas for improving the characterization of bacterial viability using flow cytometry.
