Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) like Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd, and Hg, among others, play a role in several environmental problems. The marine environment is polluted by several contaminants, such as HMs. A variety of physico-chemical methods usually available for sanitation HMs remediation suffer from either limitation. Bioremediation is a promising way of dealing with HMs pollution. Microbes have the ability with various potencies to resist HMs tension. The current review discusses the main sources and influences of HMs, the role of marine microorganisms in HMs bioremediation, as well as the microbial mechanisms for HMs detoxification and transformation. This review paper aims to provide an overview of the bioremediation technologies that are currently available for the removal of HMs ions from industrial and urban effluent by aquatic organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and microalgae, particularly those that are isolated from marine areas. The primary goals are to outline various studies and offer helpful information about the most important aspects of the bioelimination techniques. The biotreatment practices have been primarily divided into three techniques based on this topic. They are biosorption, bioaccumulation, bioleaching, and biotransformation. This article gives the brief view on the research studies about bioremediation of HMs using marine microorganisms. The current review also deals with the critical issues and recent studies based on the HMs biodetoxification using aquatic microorganisms.

Huang ML, Yen PL, Liao VHC. A combined approach to remediate cadmium contaminated sediment using the acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacterial SV5 and untreated coffee ground. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 273:129662. [PMID: 33497987 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.129662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2020] [Revised: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in sediment is an emerging concern for the sustainability of aquatic ecosystem due to the toxicity of Cd is correlated to different trophic levels. An effective and inexpensive remediation strategy for Cd-contaminated sediment is desirable. The feasibility of using a newly isolated acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium and untreated coffee ground to remediate Cd-contaminated sediment was evaluated. The bioleaching approach was firstly conducted with the acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacterial SV5, resulting in Cd(II) release from Cd(II)-contaminated sediment. Subsequently, Cd(II) in the acidic leachate was further removed using untreated agricultural wastes. Untreated coffee ground exhibited about 2-fold Cd(II) removal efficiency comparing to that of rice husk and peanut shell. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis were conducted to characterize the coffee ground after the adsorption of 0 or 200 mg/L Cd(II). At pH 4, the optimal coffee ground concentration was 30 g/L along with 100 mg/L Cd(II) concentration. Adsorption of Cd(II) by coffee ground was rapid and the adsorption kinetic followed pseudo-second order model. Cd(II) sorption by coffee ground was a favorable process and Langmuir isotherm model well described the experimental data. Taken together, even at pH 4, coffee ground still showed good biosorption capacity for Cd(II) with short equilibrium time. This study suggests that acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacterial SV5 and untreated coffee ground could be used as inexpensive and environment-friendly biomaterial and agricultural waste for the remediation of Cd-contaminated sediment.

Effect of biogenic jarosite on the bio-immobilization of toxic elements from sulfide tailings. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 258:127288. [PMID: 32947659 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.127288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2019] [Revised: 05/29/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The discharge of toxic elements from tailings soils in the aquatic environments occurs chiefly in the presence of indigenous bacteria. The biotic components may interact in the opposite direction, leading to the formation of a passivation layer, which can inhibit the solubility of the elements. In this work, the influence of jarosite on the bio-immobilization of toxic elements was studied by native bacteria. In batch experiments, the bio-immobilization of heavy metals by an inhibitory layer was examined in the different aquatic media using pure cultures of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans. A variety of analyses also investigated the mechanisms of metals bio-immobilization. Among different tests, the highest metal solubility yielded 99% Mn, 91% Cr, 95% Fe, and 78% Cu using A. ferrooxidans in 9KFe medium after ten days. After 22 days, these percentages decreased down to 30% Mn and about 20% Cr, Fe, and Cu, likely due to metal immobilization by biogenic jarosite. The formation of jarosite was confirmed by an electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The mechanisms of metal bio-immobilization by biogenic jarosite from tailings soil confirmed three main steps: 1) the dissolution of metal sulfides in the presence of Acidithiobacillus bacteria; 2) the nucleation of jarosite on the surface of sulfide minerals; 3) the co-precipitation of dissolved elements with jarosite during the bio-immobilization process, demonstrated by a structural study for jarosite. Covering the surface of soils by the jarosite provided a stable compound in the acidic environment of mine-waste.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to study the sulfur concentration on bioleaching of heavy metals from pig manure employing indigenous sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Also, the variations in physicochemical properties of pig manure before and after bioleaching were investigated. The results showed that sulfur concentration significantly affected the rate of acidification, sulfate production and metal solubilization during pig manure bioleaching process. A Michaelis–Menten type equation was utilized to interpret the relationships between sulfur concentration, sulfate production and metal solubilization in the bioleaching process. The rates of metal solubilization during pig manure bioleaching were well described by a first order kinetic equation related to time. After 12 days of bioleaching, 93%–97% of Zn, 96%–98% of Mn and 48%–94% of Cu were leached out from pig manure, respectively. The metals remaining in the pig manure residual were mainly existed in stable forms. In addition, elemental analysis showed that bioleaching process could significantly modify the dewaterbility and organic composition of pig manure. However, fertility analysis found that 9.0%–19.1% of nitrogen, 68.5%–71.0% of phosphorus, 76.5%–78.8% of potassium and 47.5%–49.4% of the total organic carbon (TOC) were lost from pig manure in the bioleaching process. Therefore, bioleaching process used in this study could be applied to remove heavy metals effectively from the pig manure, but more detailed studies need to be done to decrease the nutrients loss from pig manure.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2018; 631-632:1553-1559. [PMID: 29727979 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.03.140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2017] [Revised: 03/02/2018] [Accepted: 03/13/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Biochar was applied during the bioleaching of heavy metals (HMs) from swine manure (SM), in an attempt to accelerate the HMs removal rates and to reduce the losses of nutrient elements (nitrogen and phosphorus). Results showed that the addition of biochar (5gL-1) could not only significantly shorten the leaching time of HMs (Cu, Zn, Mn and Cd) from 10 (control) to 7days with a high solubilization efficiency of 90%, but also decrease the total nitrogen loss efficiency by 42.7% from 180.3 (control) to 103.3mgL-1 in the leachate. In addition, biochar addition facilitated Fe2+ oxidation rate, achieving much better pH and ORP conditions. Electronic conductivity and adsorption properties of biochar with changed microbial community probably contributed a lot to the enhanced HMs solubilization and reduced nitrogen loss during bioleaching. Although the addition of biochar only slightly reduced the total amount of phosphorus loss, the bioavailable phosphorus in SM after bioleaching was markedly increased by 13.7%.

Abstract
This study explores the potential for synchronous extraction of Cu, Cr, Ni and Zn during sewage sludge bioleaching processes, using three types of bacterial cultures: a pure culture of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans); a pure culture of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (A. thiooxidans); and a mixed culture of A. ferrooxidans and A. thiooxidans. Variable operating parameters included initial pH, solids concentration, sulfur concentration and ferrous iron concentration, with optimization via Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology. Results indicate that the mixed culture of A. ferrooxidans and A. thiooxidans, was the most effective at bioleaching heavy metals from sewage sludge. The optimal operating conditions were as follows: an initial pH of 2.0, with concentrations of 3% solids, 6.14 g L-1 sulfur and 4.55 g L-1 ferrous iron. Maximum extraction efficiencies obtained after 14 days of bioleaching under optimal conditions, were 98.54% Cu, 57.99% Cr, 60.06% Ni and 95.60% Zn. Bioleaching kinetics were effectively simulated using a shrinking core model to explain the leaching reaction, with modelling results suggesting that the rate was determined by the diffusion step.

Abstract
During the process of bioleaching, lead (Pb) recovery is low. This low recovery is caused by a problem with the bioleaching technique. This research investigated the bioleaching combination of bioleaching with brine leaching to remove heavy metals from lead-zinc mine tailings. The impact of different parameters were studied, including the effects of initial pH (1.5-3.0) and solid concentration (5-20%) for bioleaching, and the effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration (10-200 g/L) and temperature (25 and 50 °C) for brine leaching. Complementary characterization experiments (Sequential extraction, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electronic microscope (SEM)) were also conducted to explore the transformation of tailings during the leaching process. The results showed that bioleaching efficiency was significantly influenced by initial pH and solid concentration. Approximately 85.45% of iron (Fe), 4.12% of Pb, and 97.85% of zinc (Zn) were recovered through bioleaching in optimum conditions. Increasing the brine concentration and temperature promoted lead recovery. Lead was recovered from the bioleaching residues at a rate of 94.70% at 25 °C and at a rate of 99.46% at 50 °C when the NaCl concentration was 150 g/L. The study showed that bioleaching significantly changed the speciation of heavy metals and the formation and surface morphology of tailings. The metals were mainly bound in stable fractions after bioleaching.

Abstract
Free-living microorganisms may become suitable models for recovery of non-essential and essential heavy metals from wastewater bodies and soils by using and enhancing their accumulating and/or leaching abilities. This review analyzes the variety of different mechanisms developed mainly in bacteria, protists and microalgae to accumulate heavy metals, being the most relevant those involving phytochelatin and metallothionein biosyntheses; phosphate/polyphosphate metabolism; compartmentalization of heavy metal-complexes into vacuoles, chloroplasts and mitochondria; and secretion of malate and other organic acids. Cyanide biosynthesis for extra-cellular heavy metal bioleaching is also examined. These metabolic/cellular processes are herein analyzed at the transcriptional, kinetic and metabolic levels to provide mechanistic basis for developing genetically engineered microorganisms with greater capacities and efficiencies for heavy metal recovery, recycling of heavy metals, biosensing of metal ions, and engineering of metalloenzymes.

Abstract
The study was aimed to evaluate the potential of organic formulation, panchakavya, for enhancing the biological leaching of Pb and Cu in contaminated mine soil. Response surface methodology based Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the variables such as incubation time, panchakavya concentration, and agitation rate. The maximum bioleaching (Pb=64% and Cu=49%) was observed after 54 h of incubation with 10 mL panchakavya at 120 rpm. Statistics-based contour and three-dimensional plots were generated to understand the relationship between Pb and Cu bioleaching and variables. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed the presence of lactic (25.88 mg g(-1)), citric (0.14 mg g(-1)), succinic (0.14 mg g(-1)), malic (0.66 mg g(-1)), and acetic (0.44 mg g(-1)) acids in panchakavya, which may have a vital role in the removal of metals from the contaminated soil. Soil fraction studies indicate a significant increase of Pb (45%) in the exchangeable fraction of panchakavya-treated soil. XRD studies confirmed the role of panchakavya induced calcite and other minerals in the precipitation of metal ions. A significant increase in the enzyme activities of phosphatase, dehydrogenase, urease, amylase, invertase, and cellulase were observed in the panchakavya-treated soil.

Abstract
The behavior of arsenic (As) bioleaching from mine tailings containing high amount of As (ca. 34,000 mg/kg) was investigated using Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans to get an insight on the optimal conditions that would be applied to practical heap and/or tank bioleaching tests. Initial pH (1.8-2.2), temperature (25-40 °C), and solid concentration (0.5-4.0%) were employed as experimental parameters. Complementary characterization experiments (e.g., XRD, SEM-EDS, electrophoretic mobility, cell density, and sulfate production) were also carried out to better understand the mechanism of As bioleaching. The results showed that final As leaching efficiency was similar regardless of initial pH. However, greater initial As leaching rate was observed at initial pH 1.8 than other conditions, which could be attributed to greater initial cell attachment to mine tailings. Unlike the trend observed when varying the initial pH, the final As leaching efficiency varied with the changes in temperature and solid concentration. Specifically, As leaching efficiency tended to decrease with increasing temperature due to the decrease in the bacterial growth rate at higher temperature. Meanwhile, As leaching efficiency tended to increase with decreasing solid concentration. The results for jarosite contents in mine tailings residue after bioleaching revealed that much greater amount of the jarosite was formed during the bioleaching reaction at higher solid concentration, suggesting that the coverage of the surface of the mine tailings by jarosite and/or the co-precipitation of the leached As with jarosite could be a dominant factor reducing As leaching efficiency.

Abstract
Bioleaching of heavy metals from contaminated soil using Penicillium chrysogenum strain F1 was investigated. Batch experiments were performed to compare leaching efficiencies of heavy metals between one-step and two-step processes and to determine the transformation of heavy metal fractions before and after bioleaching. The results showed that two-step process had higher leaching efficiencies of heavy metals than one-step process. When the mass ratio of soil to culture medium containing P. chrysogenum strain F1 was 5% (w/v), 50%, 35%, 9% and 40% of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were removed in one-step process, respectively. The two-step process had higher removals of 63% Cd, 56% Cu, 14% Pb and 54% Zn as compared with one-step process. The results of the sequential extraction showed that the metals remaining in the soil were mainly bonded in stable fractions after bioleaching. The results of TEM and SEM showed that during bioleaching process, although the mycelium of P. chrysogenum was broken into fragments, no damage was obviously observed on the surface of the living cell except for thinner cell wall, smaller vacuoles and concentrated cytoplasm. The result implied that P. chrysogenum strain F1 can be used to remove heavy metals from polluted soil.

Abstract
Extraction of manganese from electrolytic manganese residues using bioleaching was investigated in this paper. The maximum extraction efficiency of Mn was 93% by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria at 4.0 g/l sulfur after bioleaching of 9days, while the maximum extraction efficiency of Mn was 81% by pyrite-leaching bacteria at 4.0 g/l pyrite. The series bioleaching first by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and followed by pyrite-leaching bacteria evidently promoted the extraction of manganese, witnessing the maximum extraction efficiency of 98.1%. In the case of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, the strong dissolution of bio-generated sulfuric acid resulted in extraction of soluble Mn2+, while both the Fe2+ catalyzed reduction of Mn4+ and weak acidic dissolution of Mn2+ accounted for the extraction of manganese with pyrite-leaching bacteria. The chemical simulation of bioleaching process further confirmed that the acid dissolution of Mn2+ and Fe2+ catalyzed reduction of Mn4+ were the bioleaching mechanisms involved for Mn extraction from electrolytic manganese residues.

Abstract
High concentrations of heavy metal in livestock manures limit land application of their sludges. A practical and economical method of sludge treatment is important for converting the livestock sludge into soil conditioners or fertilizers. In this study, the effect of solid contents on the simultaneous aerobic digestion and metal leaching at thermophilic condition were investigated in a batch reactor. Different solid contents in the range of 0.5-4% (dry-w/v) were studied. The results showed that an increase of solid content decreased the pH reducing rate. It was the result of increase in buffering capacity and possible microbial inhibition at a higher solid content. Similar results were also found in the variations of ORP and sulfate concentrations during this process. In most cases, this biological process is able to solubilize 82-99% of heavy metals from the livestock sludge. It was found that the efficiency and rate of metal solubilization decreased with increasing solid contents. In addition, 54-80% of organic matter in the sludge was degraded after 28 days of reaction. A low sludge digestion efficiency was found at a high solid content. Moreover, the dewaterability of sludge was improved and the fertility (N, P and K) of sludge did not change significantly after this bioprocess.

Abstract
The effects of bioleaching on the fractionation of soil heavy metals were investigated in this study. Bioleaching of heavy metals from contaminated soil was carried out in shake flask experiments. Acidophilic sulfur oxidizing bacteria Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans isolated from soil was used for bioleaching. Bioleaching resulted in removal of heavy metals at higher levels. Variations in the binding forms of heavy metals before, during and after bioleaching were evaluated. It was noticed that bioleaching affected the binding forms of all the heavy metals present in the soil. The major contaminant chromium bound mainly to the fractions of soil which are not very reactive (organic and residual fractions) also showed good removal efficiency. Bioleaching influenced the fractionation of metals in soil after treatment and most of the remnant heavy metals were bound either to residual fraction or to other not easily mobile fractions of soil. The results of this study indicated that the bioleaching process can be useful for efficient removal of heavy metals from soil. Further, the soil with remnant metals can be disposed off safely.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2009; 100:1394-1398.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the effect of ratio of substrate dosage to solid content (Sd/SC) on sewage sludge bioleaching. The inocula--indigenous sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were enriched and cultured from the fresh activated sludge to a wastewater treatment plant. The results showed that Sd/SC significantly influenced the sludge bioleaching process. With increase in Sd/SC the sludge bioleaching was enhanced, which was represented by the acceleration of sludge acidification, oxidizing environment formation, and substrate (sulfur) utilization. Higher Sd/SC was more efficient to solubilize the heavy metals and total phosphorus (TP) than lower Sd/SC, while total nitrogen (TN) release was not influenced by Sd/SC. Zinc and copper were efficiently bioleached because of sludge acidification and sludge oxidation, but lead was bioleached with a low efficiency because of the formation of low soluble PbSO(4) precipitates. After bioleaching the biotoxicity of sewage sludge greatly reduced.
