Production of exopolysaccharide from Klebsiella oxytoca: Rheological, emulsifying, biotechnological properties, and bioremediation applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2024:134400. [PMID: 39122076 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Bacteria can synthesize a broad spectrum of multifunctional polysaccharides including extracellular polysaccharides (EPS). Bacterial EPS can be utilized in the food, pharmaceutical, and biomedical areas owing to their physical and rheological properties in addition to generally presenting low toxicity. From an ecological viewpoint, EPS are biodegradable and environment compatible, offering several advantages over synthetic compounds. This study investigated the EPS produced by Klebsiella oxytoca (KO-EPS) by chemically characterizing and evaluating its properties. The monosaccharide components of the KO-EPS were determined by HPLC coupled with a refractive index detector and GC-MS. The KO-EPS was then analyzed by methylation analysis, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy to give a potential primary structure. KO-EPS demonstrated the ability to stabilize hydrophilic emulsions with various hydrophobic compounds, including hydrocarbons and vegetable and mineral oils. In terms of iron chelation capacity, the KO-EPS could sequester 41.9 % and 34.1 % of the most common iron states, Fe2+ and Fe3+, respectively. Moreover, KO-EPS exhibited an improvement in the viscosity of aqueous dispersion, being proportional to the increase in its concentration and presenting a non-Newtonian pseudoplastic flow behavior. KO-EPS also did not present a cytotoxic effect indicating that the KO-EPS could have potential applications as a natural thickener, bioemulsifier, and bioremediation agent.

[PMID: 38531498 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141753] [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: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
The discharge of dye-laden wastewater into the water streams causes severe water and soil pollution, which poses a global threat to aquatic ecosystems and humans. A diverse array of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) of different compositions and exhibit great bioflocculation potency to sustainably eradicate dyes from water bodies. Nanomodified chemical composites of EPS enable their recyclability during dye-laden wastewater treatment. Nevertheless, the selection of potent EPS-producing strains and physiological parameters of microbial growth and the remediation process could influence the removal efficiency of EPS. This review will intrinsically discuss the fundamental importance of EPS from diverse microbial origins and their nanomodified chemical composites, the mechanisms in EPS-mediated bioremediation of dyes, and the parametric influences on EPS-mediated dye removal through sorption/bioflocculation. This review will pave the way for designing and adopting futuristic green and sustainable EPS-based bioremediation strategies for dye-laden wastewater in situ and ex situ.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) can accumulate in agriculture soil from the regular application of phosphorus (P) fertilizer. Microbiological method is considered as a potentially effective strategy that can not only remediate the Cd-contaminated soil but also provide the phosphorus needed for crop growth. However, the toxicity of Cd may affect the activity of microorganisms. To solve this problem, Klebsiella variicola with excellent phosphate solubilization ability (155.30 mg L-1 at 48 h) and Cd adsorption rate (90.84 % with 10 mg L-1 Cd initial concentration) was firstly isolated and identified in this study. Then, a phosphoric acid and ball milling co-modified biochar (PBC) was selected as the carrier to promote the activities of K. variicola under Cd pollution. Surface characterization revealed that the promotion of K. variicola by PBC was mainly attributed to the large specific surface area and diverse functional groups. Compared to contaminated soil, microbial PBC (MPBC) significantly increased the pakchoi biomass and phosphorus (P) content, while the Cd content in leave and root of pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.) decreased by 25.90-43.46 % (P < 0.05). The combined application also favored the transformation of the resistant P fractions to bioavailable P, and facilitated the immobilization of 20.12 % exchangeable Cd to reducible, oxidizable, and residual Cd in the treated soil. High-throughput sequencing revealed that the response of the soil microbial community to the MPBC was more beneficial than K. variicola or PBC alone. Therefore, the application of MPBC has the potential to act as an efficient, stable, and environmentally friendly sustainable product for Cd remediation and enhanced P bioavailability in agricultural production.

WATER RESEARCH 2020; 169:115251.

Abstract
Quorum quenching (QQ) has been applied as a promising membrane fouling control strategy for anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs). Nevertheless, long-term operation of AnMBRs for real domestic wastewater (DWW) treatment needs to be systematically studied to evaluate comprehensive membrane fouling mechanisms and bioprocess performance. In this study, the impact of QQ on membrane fouling was investigated using a quorum quenching AnMBR (QQAnMBR) deploying a bead-entrapped facultative quorum quenching consortium (FQQ) to treat DWW. FQQ was shown to prolong membrane filtration operation by an average of 75%. Reduced proteins (p < 0.005) and carbohydrates (p < 0.005) in the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of mixed liquor (ML) were key differentiators that led to lower cake layer (CL) formation. Additionally, reduced biopolymers production (p < 0.05) in EPS improved sludge dewaterability. The findings suggested that QQ could alter fluorescent microbial metabolites of both EPS and CL as unveiled by excitation-emission matrix spectra pattern. Furthermore, colloidal particles (i.e., particles with size larger than 0.45 μm in ML supernatants) production was retarded by QQ, thereafter, also contributed to the reduced CL formation. Pore blockage was slightly increased by QQ, which might be attributed to pore blockage by large (∼230 nm) and small organic compounds (∼51 nm) in soluble microbial products (SMP). However, QQ had no significant impact on organic concentration of SMP, and QQ was not associated with particle size distribution of biomass. QQ performance was further affirmed through suppressed production of C4-HSL, 3-OXO-C6-HSL, and C6-HSL. The overall AHLs degradability of FQQ was well-maintained even after five membrane service cycles (total operation of 70 d). Moreover, QQ had no compromised impact on treatment performance (i.e., chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and methane yield). Collectively, this study bridged the knowledge gap to bring forward QQ technology in AnMBR for widespread domestic wastewater treatment application.

Abstract
A novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) was produced by a bacterium which was isolated from Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L) D.C. and identified as 99% Rhizobium tropici SRA1 by 16S rDNA sequencing. The flocculating performances along with emulsifying activity began simultaneously with the growth and the production of EPS and reached its utmost at 28 h. EPS was purified via chilled ethanol precipitation followed by dialysis and lyophilization. The existence of hydroxyl, methoxyl, and carboxylic functional groups were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum. EPS was found to be compose of 82.44% neutral sugar and 15.93% uronic acid. The average molecular weight of the exopolysaccharide was estimated as ~ 1.8 × 105. Gas-liquid chromatography indicated the presence of glucose and galactose at a molar ratio of 3:1 in EPS. In the pH range of 3-5 with EPS dosage of 15 mg/l at 30 °C, cation-independent flocculation greater than 90% was observed. Emulsification indices (E24) of EPS were observed as 86.66%, 83.33%, 76.66%, and 73.33% with olive oil, kerosene, toluene, and n-hexane respectively. Biosorption of Cu K [45.69 wt%], Cu L [05.67 wt%], Co K [15.58 wt%], and Co L [11.72 wt%] by EPS was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). This report on the flocculating, emulsifying, and metal sorption properties of EPS produced by R. tropici SRA1 is unique in the literature.

Abstract
Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and microalgae have been used to produce bioflocculants with various structures. These polymers are active substances that are biodegradable, environmentally harmless, and have flocculation characteristics. Most of the developed microbial bioflocculants displayed significant flocculating activity (FA > 70–90%) depending on the strain used and on the operating parameters. These biopolymers have been investigated and successfully used for wastewater depollution in the laboratory. In various cases, selected efficient microbial flocculants could reduce significantly suspended solids (SS), turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (Nt), dye, and heavy metals, with removal percentages exceeding 90% depending on the bioflocculating materials and on the wastewater characteristics. Moreover, bioflocculants showed acceptable results for sludge conditioning (accepted levels of dry solids, specific resistance to filtration, moisture, etc.) compared to chemicals. This paper explores various bioflocculants produced by numerous microbial strains. Their production procedures and flocculating performance will be included. Furthermore, their efficiency in the depollution of wastewater will be discussed.

Abstract
The prevalence of multidrug resistance among clinically significant bacteria calls for the urgent development of new antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action. In this study, a new small molecule exhibiting excellent inhibition of bacterial cell division with potent antibacterial activity was discovered through cell-based screening. The compound exhibits a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity, including the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus and NDM-1 Escherichia coli. The in vitro and in vivo results suggested that this compound disrupts the dynamic assembly of FtsZ protein and Z-ring formation through stimulating FtsZ polymerization. Moreover, this compound exhibits no activity on mammalian tubulin polymerization and shows low cytotoxicity on mammalian cells. Taken together, these findings could provide a new chemotype for development of antibacterials with FtsZ as the target.

Abstract
In recent decades, microbial synthesis of polysaccharides with special functional properties has attracted increasing attention. This work reported a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing strain, Klebsiella sp. PHRC1.001 isolated from activated sludge. Physicochemical, rheological, emulsifying and toxicological properties of the obtained EPS were characterized. The EPS was mainly composed of d-glucose and l-arabinose, and was found to exist in aqueous solution in a nano-particulated form (∼50nm in diameter) with a strong tendency of aggregation. Rheological analysis showed that the EPS aqueous solution was a typical pseudoplastic fluid at higher concentration and could form weak gel upon alkaline treatment followed by neutralization. The EPS exhibited excellent emulsifying properties in stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions presumably by a Pickering mechanism owing to its nanoparticle structure. Acute toxicity test showed that 1.8g EPS per kg of body weight caused no toxic effect on mice. PHRC1.001 EPS has the potential to be a novel industrial polysaccharide.

Isolation, Identification, and Optimization of Culture Conditions of a Bioflocculant-Producing Bacterium Bacillus megaterium SP1 and Its Application in Aquaculture Wastewater Treatment. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2016; 2016:2758168. [PMID: 27840823 PMCID: PMC5093298 DOI: 10.1155/2016/2758168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2016] [Accepted: 09/29/2016] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
A bioflocculant-producing bacterium, Bacillus megaterium SP1, was isolated from biofloc in pond water and identified by using both 16S rDNA sequencing analysis and a Biolog GEN III MicroStation System. The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources for Bacillus megaterium SP1 were 20 g L−1 of glucose and 0.5 g L−1 of beef extract at 30°C and pH 7. The bioflocculant produced by strain SP1 under optimal culture conditions was applied into aquaculture wastewater treatment. The removal rates of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), and suspended solids (SS) in aquaculture wastewater reached 64, 63.61, and 83.8%, respectively. The volume of biofloc (FV) increased from 4.93 to 25.97 mL L−1. The addition of Bacillus megaterium SP1 in aquaculture wastewater could effectively improve aquaculture water quality, promote the formation of biofloc, and then form an efficient and healthy aquaculture model based on biofloc technology.

Extracellular polysaccharide production by a novel osmotolerant marine strain of Alteromonas macleodii and its application towards biomineralization of silver. PLoS One 2014; 9:e98798. [PMID: 24932690 PMCID: PMC4059621 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0098798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2014] [Accepted: 05/06/2014] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study demonstrates exopolysaccharide production by an osmotolerant marine isolate and also describes further application of the purified polysaccharide for production of colloidal suspension of silver nanoparticles with narrow size distribution. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S r RNA gene sequencing revealed close affinity of the isolate to Alteromonas macleodii. Unlike earlier reports, where glucose was used as the carbon source, lactose was found to be the most suitable substrate for polysaccharide production. The strain was capable of producing 23.4 gl(-1) exopolysaccharide with a productivity of 7.8 gl(-1) day(-1) when 15% (w/v) lactose was used as carbon source. Furthermore, the purified polysaccharide was able to produce spherical shaped silver nanoparticles of around 70 nm size as characterized by Uv-vis spectroscopy, Dynamic light scattering and Transmission electron microscopy. These observations suggested possible commercial potential of the isolated strain for production of a polysaccharide which has the capability of synthesizing biocompatible metal nanoparticle.

Abstract
A microbial-flocculants-producing (MBF-producing) bacterium, named TG-1, was isolated from waste water of a starch factory, and identified as Klebsiella sp. TG-1. The microbial flocculants (MBF) produced by TG-1, named as MBF-TG-1, was applied to defecating the strong basic trona suspension in the trona industry. After optimizing medium and culturing conditions with single-factor and orthogonal designs, the highest flocculation rate of 86.9% was achieved. Chemical analysis showed that the purified microbial flocculants (MBF-TG-1) was mainly composed of polysaccharides (84.6%), with a small amount of protein or amino acid (11.1%). Bridging mechanism was supposed as the main flocculation mechanism by analyzing the flocculation process and the biochemistry properties of MBF-TG-1. The high flocculation rate (84%) was also achieved with a low-cost medium (the solid residue of tofu production from food industry).
