Patil SS, Jena HM. Process optimization and kinetic study of biodegradation of dimethyl phthalate by KS2, a novel strain of Micrococcus sp. Sci Rep 2023; 13:3900. [PMID: 36890143 PMCID: PMC9995314 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29256-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study elucidates identification and characterization of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) degrading novel bacterial strain, Micrococcus sp. KS2, isolated from soil contaminated with municipal wastewater. Statistical designs were exercised to achieve optimum values of process parameters for DMP degradation by Micrococcus sp. KS2. The screening of the ten important parameters was performed by applying Plackett-Burman design, and it delivered three significant factors (pH, temperature, and DMP concentration). Further, response surface methodology involving central composite design (CCD) was implemented to examine mutual interactions among variables and achieve their optimal response. The predicted response indicated that maximum DMP degradation (99.67%) could be attained at pH 7.05, temperature 31.5 °C and DMP 289.19 mg/l. The strain KS2 was capable of degrading up to 1250 mg/l of DMP in batch mode and it was observed that oxygen was limiting factor in the DMP degradation. Kinetic modeling of DMP biodegradation indicated that Haldane model fitted well with the experimental data. During DMP degradation, monomethyl phthalate (MMP) and phthalic acid (PA) were identified as degradation metabolites. This study provides insight into DMP biodegradation process and proposes that Micrococcus sp. KS2 is a potential bacterial candidate to treat effluent containing DMP.

Abstract
This study investigated the potential ofCellulosimicrobium funkeifor degrading dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP). Effect of different initial concentrations of phthalates on their biodegradation and growth ofC. funkeiwas examined using shake flasks and a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Complete degradation of both DMP and DEP was achieved in CSTR, even up to 3000 and 2000 mg/L initial concentrations, respectively. Simultaneous degradation of the phthalates in mixture, i.e. more than 80% and 55% biodegradation efficiency were achieved at 1000 and 2000 mg/L initial concentrations of DMP and DEP, respectively, using the CSTR. Mass balance analysis of the degradation results suggested proficient degradation of DMP and DEP with biomass yield values of 0.64 and 0.712, respectively. The high values of inhibition constant Kiestimated using the Tessier and Edward substrate inhibition models indicated very good tolerance ofC. funkeitoward biodegradation of DMP and DEP.

J Appl Microbiol 2021; 131:1274-1288. [PMID: 33599367 DOI: 10.1111/jam.15045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Revised: 02/05/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
AIM The objectives of the present study were to explore the benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) and dimethyl phthalate (DMP) degradation potential of Bacillus marisflavi RR014 isolated from the tap water of public toilet and also to optimize the phthalates degradation process using response surface methodology. METHODS AND RESULTS The minimal salt medium was used for the biodegradation analysis of phthalates. The quantification of phthalates and their intermediate metabolites identification were done by using UHPLC and LC-MS/MS respectively. The results revealed that B. marisflavi RR014 is capable of degrading both the phthalates under varying pH, temperature and salinity conditions. The formation of phthalic acid from the breakdown of BBP and DMP (500 mg l-1 ) in the medium was observed after 24 h. After 72 h, 61% of BBP and 98·9% of DMP in the medium was degraded as monitored by UHPLC. The identification of intermediate metabolites by LC-MS/MS revealed that hydrolysis of BBP and DMP produces phthalic acid. CONCLUSIONS The degradation rate of both the phthalates was increased as the parameters increased up to an optimum level. The three environmental factors (pH, temperature and salt concentration) strongly affect the rate of degradation of both the phthalates. The maximum degradation rate for both the phthalates was achieved at pH 7, temperature 35°C and salt concentration of 1% as observed from the central composite experimental design. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY It is the first report on the phthalates biodegradation potential of B. marisflavi RR014 isolated from the tap water of public toilet. The bacterium is capable of degrading BBP and DMP under varying pH, temperature and salinity, therefore, ideal to treat the phthalate contaminated environments.

Abstract
Concerning the contamination of phthalate esters (PAEs) in river sediments, this mini-review introduces four recently reported novel "integrated electrokinetic (EK) processes" for the remediation purpose, namely two combined technologies of the EK process and advanced oxidation process (EK-AOP Processes) and two combined technologies of the EK process and biological process (EK-BIO Processes). The following is a comprehensive summary for these remediation processes: (1) the EK process coupled with nano-Fe3O4/S2O82- oxidation process - Test results have shown that nanoscale Fe3O4 played a significant role in activating persulfate oxidation. Even a recalcitrant compound like di(2‑ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), its concentration in test sediment was reduced to 1.97 mg kg-1, far below the regulatory levels set by Taiwan EPA; (2) the EK process integrated with a novel Fenton-like process catalyzed by nanoscale schwertmannite (nano-SHM) - Test results have revealed that simultaneous injection of nano-SHM slurry and H2O2 into the anode reservoir and sediment compartment is a good practice. 70-99% in removal efficiency was obtained for various target PAEs; (3) enhanced in situ bioremediation coupled with the EK process for promoting the growth of intrinsic microorganisms by adding H2O2 as an oxygen release compound (ORC) - Test results have demonstrated that an intermittent mode of injecting lab-prepared ORC directly into the contaminant zone would be beneficial to the growth of intrinsic microorganisms in test sediment for in situ bioremediation of target PAEs; and (4) coupling of a second-generation ORC (designated 2G-ORC) with the EK-biological process - Test results have proved that 2G-ORC is long-lasting and can be directly utilized as the carbon source and oxygen source for microbial growth resulting in an enhanced biodegradation of PAEs. Except DEHP having a residual concentration of 4 μg kg-1, all other target PAEs in test sediment were totally removed by this novel combined remediation process.

Abstract
Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) as one of the most important and extensively used Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) is known to likely cause dysfunctions of the endocrine systems, liver, and nervous systems of animals. In this paper, the degradation and behavior of DMP were investigated in a laboratory scale anaerobic/anoxic/oxic (AAO) treatment system. In addition, a degradation model including biodegradation and sorption was formulated so as to evaluate the fate of DMP in the treatment system, and a mass balance model was designed to determine kinetic parameters of the removal model. The study indicated that the optimal operation condition of HRT and SRT for DMP and nutrients removal were 18 h and 15 d respectively, and the degradation rates of anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic zones for DMP were 13.4%, 13.0% and 67.7%, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the degraded DMP was 73.8%, the released DMP in the effluent was 5.8%, the accumulated DMP was 19.3%, and the remained DMP in the waste sludge was 1.1%. Moreover, the degradation process of DMP by acclimated activated sludge was in accordance with the first-order kinetics equation. The model can be used for accurately modeling the degradation and behavior of DMP in the AAO system.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of enhanced bioremediation coupling with electrokinetic process for promoting the growth of intrinsic microorganisms and removing phthalate esters (PAEs) from river sediment by adding an oxygen releasing compound (ORC). Test results are given as follows: Enhanced removal of PAEs was obtained by electrokinetics, through which the electroosmotic flow would render desorption of organic pollutants from sediment particles yielding an increased bioavailability. It was also found that the ORC injected into the sediment compartment not only would alleviate the pH value variation due to acid front and base front, but would be directly utilized as the carbon source and oxygen source for microbial growth resulting in an enhanced degradation of organic pollutants. However, injection of the ORC into the anode compartment could yield a lower degree of microbial growth due to the loss of ORC during the transport by EK. Through the analysis of molecular biotechnology it was found that both addition of an ORC and application of an external electric field can be beneficial to the growth of intrinsic microbial and abundance of microflora. In addition, the sequencing result showed that PAEs could be degraded by the following four strains: Flavobacterium sp., Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Rhodococcus sp. The above findings confirm that coupling of enhanced bioremediation and electrokinetic process could be a viable remediation technology to treat PAEs-contaminated river sediment.

Abstract
Here we evaluate the quantitative relationship between carbon isotopic fractionation and anoxic biodegradation of phthalate esters (PAEs), a kind of endocrine disruptors. The stable carbon isotope delta values (δ(13)C) of 4 PAEs, i.e. di-methyl phthalate (DMP), di-ethyl phthalate (DEP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), and di-iso-butyl phthalate (DiBP), were analyzed during biodegradation by a pure bacteria strain isolated from the shallow aquifer sediment in anoxic condition. Results showed that the carbon isotopic fractionation in the initial degradation of PAEs was well-described by the Rayleigh equation model with R(2) from 0.8885 to 0.9821. The carbon isotopic fractionation (ε) for DMP and DEP were -4.6±0.4‰ and -2.9±0.1‰, respectively, while DBP and DiBP showed limited isotopic fractionation. A linear relationship between ε values and the total carbon atoms present in straight-carbon-chain PAE molecules with R(2) of 0.9918. The apparent kinetic isotope effects (AKIEs) were calculated for proposed 4 initial transformation pathways of PAEs. The high carbon AKIEs of 1.048 and 1.036 were obtained for single enzymatic hydrolysis of DMP and DEP, respectively, and fell in the expected KIE range of 1.03-1.09. However, the intrinsic carbon isotope effects for enzymatic hydrolysis of DBP and DiBP might be masked.
