Abstract
Understanding the interactions between the soil microbial communities and species is critical in the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil. Biochar has been widely applied as a stabilizer in the in situ remediation of cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soils in mining areas. However, the rebuilding of the microbial taxa of rare and abundant species by biochar and their cooperative resistance to Cd stress remains elusive. In this pursuit, the present study envisaged the effects of two types of biochars viz., poplar bark biochar (PB) and thiourea-modified poplar bark biochar (TP) on the rare and abundant bacterial and fungal taxa by using pot experiments. The results demonstrated that the PB and TP treatments significantly reduced the leached Cd content, by 35.13 and 68.05%, respectively, compared with the control group (CK), in the reclaimed soil of the mining area. The application of biochar significantly improved the physicochemical properties like pH and Soil Organic Matter (SOM) of the soil. It was observed that TP treatment was superior to the PB and CK groups in increasing the diversity of the soil abundant and rare species of microbial taxa. Compared with the CK group, the application of PB and TP enhanced and elevated the complexity of the microbial networks of rare and abundant taxa, increased the number and types of network core microorganisms, reshaped the network core microorganisms and hubs, and boosted the microbial resistance to Cd stress. Our results indicate the response of rare and abundant microbial taxa to biochar application and the mechanism of their synergistic remediation of Cd-contaminated soil, thereby providing technical feasibility for in situ remediation of Cd-contaminated soil in mining areas.

Abstract
The high toxicity and persistence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the environment demands the development of effective remediation for PCBs-contaminated soils. In this study, electrokinetic (EK) remediation integrated with iron-carbon material (Fe/C) was established and used to remediate PCB28 (1 mg kg-1) contaminated soil under a voltage gradient of 1 V cm-1. Effects of Fe/C dosage, soil type, and remediation time were investigated. The operational condition was optimized as 4 g kg-1 Fe/C, yellow soil, and 14 d-remediation, achieving PCB28 removal efficiency of 58.6 ± 8.8% and energy utilization efficiency of 146.5. Introduction of EK-Fe/C did not significantly affect soil properties except for slight soil moisture content increase and total Fe content loss. Soil electrical conductivity exhibited an increasing trend from anode to cathode attributed to EK-induced electromigration and electroosmosis. EK accelerated the corrosion and consumption of reactive Fe0/Fe3C in Fe/C by generating acid condition. Fe/C in turn effectively prevented EK-induced soil acidification and maintained soil neutral to weak alkaline condition. A synergistic effect between EK and Fe/C was revealed by the order of PCB28 removal efficiency-EK-Fe/C (58.6 ± 8.8%) > EK (37.7 ± 1.6%) > Fe/C (6.8 ± 5.0%). This could be primarily attributed to EK and Fe/C enhanced Fenton reaction, where EK promoted Fe/C dissolution and H2O2 generation. In addition to oxidation by Fenton reaction generated ·OH, EK-mediated electrochemical oxidation, Fe/C-induced reduction and migration of Fe/C adsorbed PCBs were all significant contributors to PCB28 removal in the EK-Fe/C system. These findings suggest that the combination of EK and Fe/C is a promising technology for remediation of organics-contaminated soil.

Abstract
Due to the industrial emissions and accidental spills, the critical material for modern industrial society petroleum pollution causes severe ecological damage. The prosperous oil exploitation and transportation causes the recalcitrant, hazardous, and carcinogenic sludge widespread in the coastal wetlands. The costly physicochemical-based remediation remains the secondary and inadequate treatment for the derivatives along with the tailings. Anaerobic microbial petroleum degrading biotechnology has received extensive attention for its cost acceptable, eco-friendly, and fewer health hazards. As a result of the advances in biotechnology and microbiology, the anaerobic oil-degrading bacteria have been well developing to achieve the same remediation effects with lower operating costs. This review summarizes the advantages and potential scenarios of the anaerobic degrading bacteria, such as sulfate-reducing bacteria, denitrifying bacteria, and metal-reducing bacteria in the coastal area decomposing the alkanes, alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic, and related derivatives. In the future, a complete theoretical basis of microbiological biotechnology, molecular biology, and electrochemistry is necessary to make efficient and environmental-friendly use of anaerobic degradation bacteria to mineralize oil sludge organic wastes.

Electrokinetically-enhanced emplacement of lactate in a chlorinated solvent contaminated clay site to promote bioremediation. WATER RESEARCH 2021; 201:117305.

Abstract
Bioremediation through the injection of electron donors and bacterial cultures is effective at treating chlorinated solvent contamination. However, it has had limited application in low permeability zones where amendments cannot be delivered successfully. This field-scale study investigated the application of electrokinetics to enhance the delivery of lactate at a clay site contaminated with chlorinated solvents. Groundwater and soil samples were collected before, during and for 1 year after the 71-day field test and analyzed for a wide suite of chemical and biological parameters. Lactate was successfully delivered to all monitoring locations. Lactate emplacement resulted in the stimulation of bacterial populations, specifically within the phylum Firmicutes, which contains fermenters and strict anaerobes. This likely led to biodegradation, as the field trial resulted in significant decreases in both soil and aqueous phase chlorinated solvent concentrations. Contaminant decreases were also partially attributable to dilution, given evidence of some advective lactate flux. This research provides evidence that electrokinetically-enhanced bioremediation has potential as a treatment strategy for contaminated low permeability strata.

Abstract
Cold stress decreases the growth and productivity of agricultural crops. Psychrotolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) may protect and promote plant growth at low temperatures. The aims of this study were to isolate and characterize psychrotolerant PGPB from wild flora of Andes Mountains and Patagonia of Chile and to formulate PGPB consortia. Psychrotolerant strains were isolated from 11 wild plants (rhizosphere and phyllosphere) during winter of 2015. For the first time, bacteria associated with Calycera, Orites, and Chusquea plant genera were reported. More than 50% of the 130 isolates showed ≥33% bacterial cell survival at temperatures below zero. Seventy strains of Pseudomonas, Curtobacterium, Janthinobacterium, Stenotrophomonas, Serratia, Brevundimonas, Xanthomonas, Frondihabitans, Arthrobacter, Pseudarthrobacter, Paenarthrobacter, Brachybacterium, Clavibacter, Sporosarcina, Bacillus, Solibacillus, Flavobacterium, and Pedobacter genera were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. Ten strains were selected based on psychrotolerance, auxin production, phosphate solubilization, presence of nifH (nitrogenase reductase) and acdS (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase) genes, and anti-phytopathogenic activities. Two of the three bacterial consortia formulated promoted tomato plant growth under normal and cold stress conditions. The bacterial consortium composed of Pseudomonas sp. TmR5a & Curtobacterium sp. BmP22c that possesses ACC deaminase and ice recrystallization inhibition activities is a promising candidate for future cold stress studies.

Abstract
Soil salinity restricts plant growth, affects soil water balance and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes and can contaminate surface and groundwater. In this study, the Denitrification Decomposition (DNDC) model was modified to couple salt and water balance equations (SALT-DNDC) to investigate the effect of salinity on water balance and N2O fluxes. The model was examined against four growing seasons (2008-11) of observed data from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Then, the model was used to simulate water filled pore space (WFPS), salt concentration and the N2O flux from agricultural soils. The results show that the effects of salinity on WFPS vary in different soil layers. Within shallow soil layers (<20 cm from soil surface) the salt concentration does not affect the average WFPS when initial salt concentrations range from 5 to 20 dS/m. However, in deeper soil layers (>20 cm from soil surface), when the initial salt concentration ranges from 5 to 20 dS/m it could indirectly affect the average WFPS due to changes of osmotic potential and transpiration. When AW is greater than 40%, the average growing season N2O emissions increase to a range of 0.6-1.0 g-N/ha/d at initial salt concentrations (5-20 dS/m) from a range of 0.5-0.7 g-N/ha/d when the salt concentrations is 0 dS/m. The newly developed SALT-DNDC model provides a unique tool to help investigate interactive effects among salt, soil, water, vegetation, and weather conditions on N2O fluxes.

Abstract
The effects of maifanite on the physiological and phytochemical process of submerged macrophytes Hydrilla verticillate (H.verticillata) were investigated for the first time in the study. The growth index: plant biomass, root length, plant height and leaf spacing, and physiological and phytochemical indexes: chlorophyll, soluble protein, malondialdehyde (MDA), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD) content and vitality of the roots of H.verticillata were tested. The results found that maifanite can significantly promote the growth of H.verticillata. The modified maifanite were more conducive to plant growth compared with the raw maifanite, and the MM1 group had the best growth promoting effect. The physiological and phytochemical indexes showed that maifanite can delay the aging process of H.verticillata (P < 0.05). The possible reasons for promoting H.verticillata growth were that maifanite can provide excellent propagation conditions for plant rhizosphere microorganisms, contains abundant major and microelements, and improve the sediment microenvironment. This study may provide a technique for the further application of maifanite in the field of ecological restoration.

Abstract
This study presents a process-based modeling analysis of electrokinetic-enhanced bioremediation (EK-Bio) to illuminate the complex interactions between physical, electrostatic and biogeochemical processes occurring during the application of this remediation technique. The features of the proposed model include: (i) multidimensional electrokinetic transport in saturated porous media by electromigration and electroosmosis, (ii) charge interactions, (iii) degradation kinetics, (iv) microbial populations dynamics of indigenous and specialized exogenous degraders, (v) mass transfer limitations, and (vi) geochemical reactions. A scenario modeling investigation is presented, which was inspired by an EK-Bio pilot application conducted in a clayey aquitard at the Skuldelev site (Denmark) contaminated by chlorinated ethenes. Lactate and specialized degraders are delivered under conservative and reactive transport conditions. In the considered setup, transport of lactate using electrokinetics results in more than fourfold increase in the distribution efficiency with respect to a diffusion-only scenario. Moreover, EK transport by electromigration and electroosmosis yields fluxes at least two orders of magnitude larger than diffusive fluxes. Quantitative metrics are also defined and used to assess the amendment distribution and the enhanced contaminant biodegradation in the different conservative and reactive transport scenarios.
