Biodegradation of phenanthrene-Cr (VI) co-contamination by Pseudomonas aeruginosa AO-4 and characterization of enhanced degradation of phenanthrene. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 918:170744. [PMID: 38325483 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170744] [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: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
Microorganisms capable of simultaneously remediating heavy metals (HMs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution hold significant importance in bioremediation efforts. In this study, we investigated the ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa AO-4 to simultaneously degrade phenanthrene (PHE) and reduce Cr (VI). Specifically, it has the ability to reduce 100 % of Cr (VI) (30 mg/L) while degrading 43.8 % of PHE (50 mg/L). In batch experiments, it was observed that the presence of Cr (VI) can enhance the degradation of PHE by strain AO-4. The solubility of PHE in soluble extracellular polymeric substances (S-EPS) was found to be related to the initial concentration of Cr (VI), which could explain why Cr (VI) promotes the degradation of PHE. Additionally, XPS analysis confirmed that Cr (VI) was reduced to Cr (III) with S-EPS produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa AO-4. GC-MS analysis was conducted to analyze the degradation metabolites of phenanthrene, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and 2TMS derivatives of salicylic acid were detected, indicating that Pseudomonas aeruginosa AO-4 is capable of degrading phenanthrene through two distinct pathways. These findings demonstrate the potential of Pseudomonas aeruginosa AO-4 in the treatment of co-contamination scenarios involving PAHs and HMs.

Abstract
Phenanthrene, one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, is stubborn and persistent and exists widely in petroleum-contaminated soil. Filamentous fungi are good assistants to bacterial transport, by hyphae passing through soil pores and reaching further positions. An isolated bacterial strain, from the contaminated soil of the coking plant, was identified as Diaphorobacter and named LW2, which could use phenanthrene as the only carbon source and energy for its growth. LW2 could degrade phenanthrene in a wide range of pH, temperature and initial concentration. When pH was 6 and 10, the removal rate of phenanthrene was 38.59% and 76.44%, respectively, and the removal rate of phenanthrene was 68.25% at 15 ℃. And LW2 could degrade 86.64% phenanthrene when the initial concentration was 100 mg L-1. The detection of DI-N-octyl phthalate, phthalic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid revealed that the strain LW2 metabolised phenanthrene through the phthalic acid pathway. Meanwhile, swimming and swarming test results suggested that LW2 was motile. The auxiliary effect of Pythium ultimum on LW2 migration was assessed. In the presence of Pythium ultimum, LW2 could migrate within the range of centimters by its mycelium, which was also observed by fluorescence microscopy. Meanwhile, the degradation ability of LW2 after the migration was also explored. The results proved that the migration process had no significant effect on its degradation ability, and LW2 still showed good phenanthrene metabolism ability. This study provides more possibilities for the bioremediation of phenanthrene-contaminated soil by screening the degradation bacteria and testing the effect of fungi on its migration.

Abstract
Phenanthrene (PHE) is one of the model compounds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In this study, a natural PHE-degrading microbial consortium, named HJ-SH, with very high degradation efficiency was isolated from soil exposed to long-term PHE contamination. The results of GC analysis showed that the consortium HJ-SH degraded 98% of 100 mg/L PHE in 3 days and 93% of 1000 mg/L PHE in 5 days, an efficiency higher than that of any other natural consortia, and even most of the engineered strains and consortia reported so far. Seven dominating strains were isolated from the microbial consortium HJ-SH, named SH-1 to SH-7, which were identified according to morphological observation and 16S rDNA sequencing as Pseudomonas sp., Stenotrophomonas sp., Delftia sp., Pseudomonas sp., Brevundimonas sp., Curtobacterium sp., and Microbacterium sp., respectively. Among all the seven single strains, SH-4 showed the strongest PHE degradation ability, and had the biggest degradation contribution. However, it is very interesting that the microbial consortium can hold its high degradation ability only with the co-existence of all these seven single strains. Moreover, HJ-SH exhibited a very high tolerance for PHE, up to 4.5 g/L, and it can degrade some other typical organic pollutants such as biphenyl, anthracene, and n-hexadecane with the degradation ratios of 93%, 92% and 70%, respectively, under 100 mg/L initial concentration in 5 days. Then, we constructed an artificial consortium HJ-7 consisting of the seven single strains, SH-1 to SH-7. After comparing the degradation ratios, cell growth, and relative degradation rates, it was concluded that the artificial consortium HJ-7 with easier reproducibility, better application stability, and larger room for modification can largely replace the natural consortium HJ-SH. In conclusion, this research provided novel tools and new insights for the bioremediation of PHE and other typical organic pollutants using microbial consortia.

Abstract
The ability of Pseudomonas turukhanskensis GEEL-01 to degrade the phenanthrene (PHE) was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). Three factors as independent variables (including temperature, pH, and inoculum) were studied at 600 mg/L PHE where the highest growth of P. turukhanskensis GEEL-01 was observed. The optimum operating conditions were evaluated through the fit summary analysis, model summary statistics, fit statistics, ANOVA analysis, and model graphs. The degradation of PHE was monitored by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the metabolites were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the correlation among independent variables with experimental and predicted responses was significant (p < 0.0001). The optimal temperature, pH, and inoculum were 30 ℃, 8, and 6 mL respectively. The HPLC peaks exhibited a reduction in PHE concentration from 600 mg/L to 4.97 mg/L with 99% degradation efficiency. The GC-MS peaks indicated that the major end products of PHE degradation were 1-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, salicylic acid, phthalic acid, and catechol. This study demonstrated that the optimized parameters by RSM for P. turukhanskensis GEEL-01 could degrade PHE by phthalic and salicylic acid pathways.

Abstract
Medicinal plants (MPs) are important resources widely used in the treatment and prevention of diseases and have attracted much attention owing to their significant antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and other activities. However, soil degradation, caused by continuous cropping, excessive chemical fertilizers and pesticide residues and heavy metal contamination, seriously restricts the growth and quality formation of MPs. Microorganisms, as the major biota in soil, play a critical role in the restoration of the land ecosystem. Rhizosphere microecology directly or indirectly affects the growth and development, metabolic regulation and active ingredient accumulation of MPs. Microbial resources, with the advantages of economic efficiency, harmless to environment and non-toxic to organisms, have been recommended as a promising alternative to conventional fertilizers and pesticides. The introduction of beneficial microbes promotes the adaptability of MPs to adversity stress by enhancing soil fertility, inhibiting pathogens and inducing systemic resistance. On the other hand, it can improve the medicinal quality by removing soil pollutants, reducing the absorption and accumulation of harmful substances and regulating the synthesis of secondary metabolites. The ecological and economic benefits of the soil microbiome in agricultural practices are increasingly recognized, but the current understanding of the interaction between soil conditions, root exudates and microbial communities and the mechanism of rhizosphere microecology affecting the secondary metabolism of MPs is still quite limited. More research is needed to investigate the effects of the microbiome on the growth and quality of different medicinal species. Therefore, the present review summarizes the main soil issues in medicinal plant cultivation, the functions of microbes in soil remediation and plant growth promotion and the potential mechanism to further guide the use of microbial resources to promote the ecological cultivation and sustainable development of MPs.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of persistent pollutants with adverse biological effects and pose a serious threat to ecological environments and human health. The previously isolated phenanthrene-degrading bacterial consortium (PDMC) consists of the genera Sphingobium and Pseudomonas and can degrade a wide range of PAHs. To identify the degradation mechanism of PAHs in the consortium PDMC, metagenomic binning was conducted and a Sphingomonadales assembly genome with 100% completeness was obtained. Additionally, Sphingobium sp. SHPJ-2, an efficient degrader of PAHs, was successfully isolated from the consortium PDMC. Strain SHPJ-2 has powerful degrading abilities and various degradation pathways of high-molecular-weight PAHs, including fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene, and chrysene. Two ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases, five cytochrome P450s, and a pair of electron transfer chains associated with PAH degradation in strain SHPJ-2, which share 83.0%-99.0% similarity with their corresponding homologous proteins, were identified by a combination of Sphingomonadales assembly genome annotation, reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and heterologous expression. Furthermore, when coexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) with the appropriate electron transfer chain, PhnA1B1 could effectively degrade chrysene and benzo[a]anthracene, while PhnA2B2 degrade fluoranthene. Altogether, these results provide a comprehensive assessment of strain SHPJ-2 and contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanism responsible for the PAH degradation.

Abstract
Thermally enhanced bioremediation (TEB), a new concept proposed in recent years, explores the combination of thermal treatment and bioremediation to address the challenges of the low efficiency and long duration of bioremediation. This study presented a comprehensive review regarding the fundamentals of TEB and its applications in soil and groundwater remediation. The temperature effects on the bioremediation of contaminants were systematically reviewed. The thermal effects on the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of soil, and the corresponding changes of contaminants bioavailability and microbial metabolic activities were summarized. Specifically, the increase in temperature within a suitable range can proliferate enzymes enrichment, extracellular polysaccharides and biosurfactants production, and further enhancing bioremediation. Furthermore, a systematic evaluation of TEB applications by utilizing traditional in situ heating technologies, as well as renewable energy (e.g., stored aquifer thermal energy and solar energy), was provided. Additionally, TEB has been applied as a biological polishing technology post thermal treatment, which can be a cost-effective method to address the contaminants rebounds in groundwater remediation. However, there are still various challenges to be addressed in TEB, and future research perspectives to further improve the basic understanding and applications of TEB for the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater are presented.

Abstract
Phenanthrene as the hazardous PAHs-component are extensively detected in industrial wastewater. However, the impacts of bioelectrostimulation process on Phenanthrene degradation in aerobic reactors remained unclear. Here, a novel bioelectrostimulation process equipped with carbon cloth as electrodes was developed to investigate the removal efficiency of Phenanthrene and ATPase enzyme activity in the synthetic wastewater. The results obtained from the present study indicated that a complete Phenanthrene degradation (100%) can be achieved using microbial electrostimulation systems steel mesh coated with carbon cloth (MES-CC) as anode under optimal operational conditions (electrical current: 4 mA, HA concentration: 15 mg L-1) within 18 h. The conductive carbon cloth provides a biofilm carrier to easily transfer the electrons between electrodes and microbial communities. In addition, the highest ATPase enzyme activity (5176 U) was observed when the aerobic MES-CC reactors were operated with electrical current 4 mA. Furthermore, the COD removal efficiency in MES-CC increased from 49% to 96% when the C: N ratio decreased from 20 to 5. The highest value of Vmax in MES-CC for suspended and attached growth were determined to be 2.87 and 0.54 g COD g-1 biomass. Overall, the results demonstrated that MES equipped with carbon cloth and continuous electrical current mode has good potential for efficient Phenanthrene wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The bacterium Gordonia sp. SCSIO19801, which could effectively utilize phenanthrene as the sole carbon source, was isolated from the seawater of the South China Sea. Its biodegradation characteristics, whole genome sequence, and biodegradation pathway were investigated. The phenanthrene biodegradation process of Gordonia sp. SCSIO19801 was estimated to be a first-order kinetic model with a k value of 0.26/day. Based on the identification of metabolites, utilization of probable intermediates, and genomics analysis of related genes, the degradation of phenanthrene by Gordonia sp. SCSIO19801 was proposed to occur via the salicylate metabolic pathway. This is the first report of a phenanthrene degradation pathway in Gordonia species. In addition, the Gordonia sp. SCSIO19801 could use other aromatic compounds as the sole source of carbon and energy. These characteristics indicate that Gordonia sp. SCSIO19801 can be utilized for developing effective methods for the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in marine environments.

Abstract
Cypermethrin (CY) is a synthetic pyrethroid widely used to control insect pests and it elicits a toxic effect on the human body. In this study, Bacillus licheniformis B-1 isolated from tea garden soil was used to degrade CY effectively. A specific enzyme was mainly localized in the extracellular compartments of B-1. This enzyme was identified as an esterase that could be produced without CY. The enzyme was purified 23.03-fold to apparent homogeneity with 8.38% overall recovery by ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion exchange chromatography, and gel filtration chromatography. The molecular mass of the CY-degrading enzyme was 66.4 kDa, and its optimal pH and temperature were 8.5 and 40 °C, respectively. Appropriate Zn2+ , Mn2+ , Mg2+ , Tween 80, SDS, Triton X-100, and BSA concentrations could greatly increase the activity of this enzyme. By contrast, EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline, NaF, and PMSF strongly inhibited its activity. The purified enzyme showed Km and Vmax values were 5.532 nmol/mL and 33.445 nmol/min. The CY residue in lettuce and cherry tomatoes could be removed more than 50% under the conditions of the treatment concentration for 500 mg/L and the enzyme preparation dilution of 100 times. These results suggested that the CY-degrading enzyme, a constitutive enzyme that mainly exists in the extracellular space, was a novel esterase that might be used to detoxify CY, and could remove CY in vegetables effectively. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Our research found a novel cypermethrin-hydrolyzing esterase from Bacillus licheniformis B-1 and proved that the enzyme could remove cypermethrin in vegetables effectively.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are typical persistent organic pollutants that accumulate in the environment, mainly from anthropogenic activities. Microbial degradation is the main pathway of PAHs degradation in the natural environment. Therefore, the widen of the available bank of microbial resources and exploration of the molecular degradation mechanisms of PAHs are crucial to the proper management of PAHs-polluted sites. In this work, a bacterial strain, YM-6, which has a high ability to utilize phenanthrene (PHE) as its sole source of carbon and energy, was isolated from sediment contaminated with PAHs. The strain YM-6 was found to degrade 96.3% of 100 mg/L of PHE in liquid cultures within 52 h. The strain was identified as Diaphorobacter sp. by 16S rDNA sequencing. The optimum growth conditions of the YM-6 strain were studied, and the results indicated that the optimum growth temperature of the strain was 30 °C, and the optimum growth pH was 7. The stain is well-suited for high-temperature stress (40 °C), and it could withstand 400 mg/L of PHE. The strain's PHE metabolism was assayed using GC-MS analyses. The results revealed that the YM-6 strain metabolized PHE via the phthalic acid pathway because the intermediates, such as phthalic acid, diethyl ester and phthalaldehydic acid, methyl ester, were detected. The use of this strain may be an attractive alternative for the bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in an aquatic environment.

Abstract
Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a type of biofilm with good sedimentation and density, high biomass, high organic load tolerance and toxicity resistance. Oxytetracycline (OTC) is an antibiotic widely used in livestock and aquaculture, and its low absorption and high residue bring many risks and harms to the ecological environment. In this study, an OTC-degrading strain TJ3 was isolated from AGS and identified as Pandoraea sp. The biodegradation characteristics of OTC by strain TJ3 under different environmental conditions were also investigated. The results showed that the optimal initial pH value and temperature for the culture strain were 6.0 and 30 °C, respectively. At an inoculation dose of 6% (v/v), the removal rate of OTC by strain TJ3 was remarkable (59.4%). Furthermore, when the sodium acetate was present as an additional substrate, the biomass and the OTC removal rate of strain TJ3 were improved. The biodegradability of strain TJ3 to OTC was proved by LC-QTOF/MS, and two possible biotransformation products, i.e. m/z 416 and 219, were identified. In the bioaugmentation experiments of AGS by strain TJ3, the average OTC removal rate was 92.89% after the stable operation of bioreactor. The chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) and total phosphorus (TP) were efficiently removed. The microbial community structure had significantly changed at the genus level, and the relative abundance of Zoogloea, Pandoraea, Cloacibacterium and Desulfovibrio increased evidently. These results implied that the OTC removal performance and the structural stability of AGS were improved. In this study, Pandoraea sp. TJ3 was applied to removal OTC for the first time, and results showed that Pandoraea sp. TJ3 may be a new auxiliary bacterial resource for the biodegradation of OTC and a potential candidate in the treatment of antibiotic wastewater.

Abstract
Pyrosequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) was employed to characterize bacterial communities colonizing the rhizosphere of plants with C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways grown in soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) after 60 and 120 days. The results of this study exhibited a clear difference in bacterial diversity between the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere samples and between the rhizospheres of the C3 and C4 plants after 120 days. In both C3 and C4 rhizospheres, an incremental change in PAHs degrading bacterial genera was observed in the 120th day samples compared to the 60th day ones. Among the PAHs degrading bacterial genera, Pseudomonas showed good resistance to PAHs in the 120th day rhizosphere of both C3 and C4 plants. Conversely, the genus Sphingomonas showed sensitivity to PAHs in the 120th day rhizosphere soils of C3 plants only. Also, a significant increase in the PAHs degrading genera was observed at 120th day in the C4 rhizosphere in comparison to the C3 rhizosphere, which was reflected in a reduced PAHs concentration measured in the soil remediated with C4 plants rather than C3 plants. These results suggest that the rhizoremediation of PAHs was primarily governed by the plant photosystems, which led to differences in root secretions that caused the variation in bacterial diversity seen in the rhizospheres. This study is the first report to demonstrate the greater effectiveness of C4 plants in enhancing the PAHs degrading bacterial community than C3 plants.

Abstract
Hydrophobin proteins were extracted from Agrocybe cylindracea mycelia, the culture media (potato dextrose broth, PDB), and fruiting bodies. The putative hydrophobins obtained showed approximate sizes ranging from 8.0 to 25.0 kDa, dependent on their source. Multiple hydrophobin protein bands were detected in fruiting bodies. The hydrophobin yielded from aerial mycelia, or fruiting bodies, was approximately 6 mg/g dried weight. The crude extracts were examined for their properties in regards to surface modification, emulsification, and surface activity. Coating of hydrophobic Teflon sheet with crude extract made the surface significantly hydrophilic, whereas exposure of glass surfaces to extracts resulted in enhanced hydrophobicity. Crude extracts from culture media of A. cylindracea displayed emulsifying activity when mixed with hexane and could significantly reduce the surface tension of 60% ethanol and deionised water. The putative hydrophobin protein band from culture media (9.6 kDa), as analysed using LC-MS/MS, contained an amino acid fragment structurally similar to class I hydrophobin proteins from Basidiomycetes.

Abstract
A stain of Pseudomonas sp. Lphe-2, which could degrade phenanthrene as the main carbon and energy source, was isolated from the aerobic sludge of a coking plant. Then its biodegradation characteristics, whole genome sequence and biodegradation pathway were examined. The Lphe-2 strain exhibited broad-spectrum degradation activities for various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including naphthalene (NAP), phenanthrene (PHE), and pyrene (PYR). Under the optimal conditions, the degradation efficiency of phenanthrene (100 mg/L) is 92.76% on the 7th day, and 2-carboxybenzaldehyde and 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid are the major metabolites found in phenanthrene metabolism. Genomic analysis of Pseudomonas sp. Lphe-2 showed that a total of 3879 genes from the Lphe-2 strain were annotated based on the COG classification, and the genomic information was annotated to 185 metabolic pathways. Based on the intermediate metabolites detected by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) and all potential phenanthrene-degrading genes identified by BLAST search, a phenanthrene biodegradation pathway of Lphe-2 strain was proposed. These results suggested that Lphe-2 strain has a good prospect in the bioremediation of PAHs pollution.

Abstract
Low permeability oil reservoirs are a widespread petroleum reservoir type all over the world. Therefore, methods to recover these reservoirs efficiently are of importance to guarantee energy supply. Here we report our novel stimulation of indigenous microbes by optimizing the water cut in low permeability reservoirs for green and enhanced oil recovery. We aimed to investigate the characteristics of indigenous bacterial communities with changes in water cut in reservoirs by high-throughput sequencing technology, and reveal the mechanism and characteristics of the crude oil biotreatment under different crude oil-water ratio conditions and the optimum activation time of indigenous functional microbial groups in reservoirs. The indigenous microbial metabolism products were characterized by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Results showed that Acinetobacter (47.1%) and Pseudomones (19.8%) were the main functional genus of crude oil degradation at the optimal activation time, and can reduce the viscosity of crude oil from 8.33 to 5.75 mPa·s. The dominant bacteria genus for oil recovery after activation of the production fluids was similar to those in the reservoirs with water cut of 60-80%. Furthermore seven mechanism pathways of enhancing oil recovery by the synergistic of functional microbial groups and their metabolites under different water cut conditions in low permeability reservoirs have been established.

Abstract
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) have great potential for treating wastewater containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); however, detailed data on cell physiological activities in PAH biodegradation pathways stimulated by BESs are still lacking. In this paper, a novel BES device was assembled to promote the growth of Pseudomonas sp. DGYH-12 in phenanthrene (PHE) degradation. The results showed that in the micro-electric field (0.2 V), cell growth rate and PHE degradation efficiency were 22% and 27.2% higher than biological control without electric stimulation (BC), respectively. The extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) concentration in BES (39.38 mg L-1) was higher than control (33.36 mg L-1); moreover, the membrane permeability and ATPase activities were also enhanced and there existing phthalic acid and salicylic acid metabolic pathways in the strain. The degradation genes nahAc, pcaH, and xylE expression levels were upregulated by micro-electric stimulation. This is the first study to analyze the physiological and metabolic effect of micro-electric stimulation on a PHE-degrading strain in detail and systematically.

Abstract
The Yellow River Delta (YRD), being close to Shengli Oilfield, is at high risk for petroleum oil pollution. The aim of this study was to isolate halotolerant phenanthrene (PHE) degrading bacteria for dealing with this contaminates in salinity environment. Two bacterial strains assigned as FM6-1 and FM8-1 were successfully screened from oil contaminated soil in the YRD. Morphological and molecular analysis suggested that strains FM6-1 and FM8-1 were belonging to Delftia sp. and Achromobacter sp., respectively. Bacterial growth of both strains was not dependent on NaCl, however, grew well under extensive NaCl concentration. The optimum NaCl concentration for bacterial production of strain FM8-1 was 4% (m/v), whereas for strain FM6-1, growth was not affected within 2.5% NaCl. Both strains could use the tested aromatic hydrocarbons (naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene) and aliphatic hydrocarbons (C12, C16, C20 and C32) as sole carbon source. The optimized biodegradation conditions for strain FM6-1 were pH 7, 28 °C and 2% NaCl, for strain FM8-1 were pH 8, 28 °C and 2.5% NaCl. The highest biodegradation rate of strains FM6-1 and FM8-1 was found at 150 mg/L PHE and 200 mg/L, respectively. In addition, strainsFM8-1 showed a superior biodegradation ability to strain FM6-1 at each optimized condition. The PHE biodegradation process by both strains well fitted to first-order kinetic models and the k1 values were calculated to be 0.1974 and 0.1070 per day. Strain FM6-1 metabolized PHE via a "phthalic acid" route, while strain FM8-1 metabolized PHE through the "naphthalene" route. This project not only obtained two halotolerant petroleum hydrocarbon degraders but also provided a promising remediation approach for solving oil pollutants in salinity environments.

Abstract
Cometabolic degradation is an effective method to remove the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with phenol as growth substrate from coal chemical wastewater (CCW). Unfortunately, the toxicity and low solubility of PAHs always restrict their degradation. In this study, Chryseobacterium sp. H202 was firstly isolated from the aerobic segment of CCW. Then, to improve the cometabolic degradation of PAHs, the effects of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) were investigated. Phenanthrene removal was accelerated in the presence of phenol; however, the degradation of phenol was inhibited because of the toxicity of phenanthrene. Addition of 50 mg/L HPCD accelerated the degradation of phenol and effectively improved the phenanthrene removal rate by about 55%. Inclusion of HPCD appeared to increase the apparent solubility and reduce the toxicity of phenanthrene, thereby improving the cometabolic degradation of phenol and phenanthrene. Therefore, HPCD can enhance the degradation of phenanthrene with phenol as the growth substrate during CCW treatment.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) released from forest leaf litter is potentially effective for the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), yet the inherent mechanism remains insufficiently elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effects of DOM derived from Pinus elliottii and Schima superba leaf litter on the degradation of phenanthrene by the phenanthrene degrading bacterium Sphingobium sp. Phe-1. DOM from different origins and at a large range of concentrations enhanced the degradation rate of phenanthrene. DOM derived from P. elliottii leaf litter decomposed for 12 months used at a concentration of 100mg/L yielded the highest degradation rate (16.9% in 36h) and shortened the degradation time from 48h to 24h. Changes in the composition of DOM during degradation as measured by EEMs-FRI showed that proteins and tyrosine in the DOM supplied readily available nutrients that stimulated biological activity of Phe-1, increasing its growth rate and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity. Simultaneously, fulvic acid and humic acid in the DOM enhanced phenanthrene bioavailability by increasing the solubility and mass transfer of phenanthrene, enhancing the uptake kinetics of Phe-1, and increasing the bacteria's direct access to DOM-associated phenanthrene. Humic acid was co-metabolized by Phe-1, resulting in further stimulation of phenanthrene degradation.

Abstract
A novel phenanthrene (PHE)-degrading strain Massilia sp. WF1, isolated from PAH-contaminated soil, was capable of degrading PHE by using it as the sole carbon source and energy in a range of pH (5.0-8.0), temperatures (20-35 °C), and PHE concentrations (25-400 mg L(-1)). Massilia sp. WF1 exhibited highly effective PHE-degrading ability that completely degraded 100 mg L(-1) of PHE over 2 days at optimal conditions (pH 6.0, 28 °C). The kinetics of PHE biodegradation by Massilia sp. WF1 was well represented by the Gompertz model. Results indicated that PHE biodegradation was inhibited by the supplied lactic acid but was promoted by the supplied carbon sources of glucose, citric acid, and succinic acid. Salicylic acid (SALA) and phthalic acid (PHTA) were not utilized by Massilia sp. WF1 and had no obvious effect on PHE biodegradation. Only two metabolites, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (1H2N) and PHTA, were identified in PHE biodegradation process. Quantitatively, nearly 27.7 % of PHE was converted to 1H2N and 30.3 % of 1H2N was further metabolized to PHTA. However, the PHTA pathway was broken and the SALA pathway was ruled out in PHE biodegradation process by Massilia sp. WF1.

Graphical Abstract ![]()
Abstract Phenanthrene is one of the most recalcitrant components of crude oil-contaminated wastewater. An efficient phenanthrene-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain named LZ-Q was isolated from oil-contaminated soil near the sewage outlet of a petrochemical company. Pseudomonas sp. LZ-Q is able to degrade 1000 mg/L phenanthrene in Bushnell-Hass mineral salt medium. It also degrades other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as naphthalene, anthracene, pyrene, petrol, and diesel at broad ranges of salinities of 5 g/L to 75 g/L, pHs of 5.0–10.0, and temperatures of 10–42 °C. Therefore, Pseudomonas sp. LZ-Q could be a good candidate for remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated wastewater. A membrane bioreactor (MBR) was applied to investigate the remediation ability of the strain LZ-Q. Wastewater containing phenanthrene with pH of 8, salinity of 35 g/L, and COD of 500 mg/L was continuously added to the system (HRT = 3 h). Results showed that Pseudomonas sp. LZ-Q is capable of degrading 96% of 20 mg/L phenanthrene and 94% of 500 mg/L COD for 60 days in a continuous mode. These results showed that the MBR system with strain LZ-Q might be a good approach for PAHs’ remediation in industrial wastewaters.

Abstract
This study investigated the abundance and diversity of soil n-alkane and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacterial communities. It also investigated the quantity of the functional genes, the occurrence of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in the identified bacterial communities and the effect that such HGT can have on biostimulation process. Illumina sequencing was used to detect the microbial diversity of petroleum-polluted soil prior to the biostimulation process, and quantitative real-time PCR was used to determine changes in the bacterial community and functional genes (alkB, phnAc and nah) expressions throughout the biostimulation of petroleum-contaminated soil. The illumine results revealed that γ-proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, and δ-proteobacteria were the most dominant bacterial phyla in the contaminated site, and that most of the strains were Gram-negative. The results of the gene expression results revealed that gram-negative bacteria and alkB are critical to successful bioremediation. Failure to maintain the stability of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria and functional gene will reduce the extend to which alkanes and PAHs are degraded. According to the results of the study, the application of a C:N:P ratio of was 100:15:1 in the biodegradation experiment resulted in the highest rate at which petroleum hydrocarbons were biodegraded. The diversity of pollutant-degrading bacteria and the effective transfer of degrading genes among resident microorganisms are essential factors for the successful biostimulation of petroleum hydrocarbons. As such, screening these factors throughout the biostimulation process represents an effective monitoring approach by which the success of the biostimulation can be assessed.

Abstract
Previous studies have confirmed that Stenotrophomonas maltophilia can bind an appreciable amount of Cu(II) and degrade BaP. However, the removal mechanisms of Cu(II) coexisted with BaP by S. maltophilia are still unclear. In this study, the micro-interaction of contaminants on the cellular surface was investigated. The results indicated that carboxyl groups played an important role in the binding of copper to the thallus and that the cell walls were the main adsorption sites. Nevertheless, these reactive groups had no obvious effect on the uptake of BaP. Instead, the disruption and modification of cell walls accelerated transportation of BaP across the membrane into cells. The observation of SEM-EDS confirmed that Cu(II) would be adsorbed and precipitated onto the cell surface but would also be removed by extracellular precipitation when BaP coexisted. And the XPS analysis reflected that part of Cu(II) bound onto biosorbents changed into Cu(I) and Cu.

Abstract
Understanding the potential for Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) degradation by indigenous microbiota and the influence of PAHs on native microbial communities is of great importance for bioremediation and ecological evaluation. Various studies have focused on the bacterial communities in the environment where obvious PAH degradation was observed, little is known about the microbiota in the soil where poor degradation was observed. Soil microcosms were constructed with a red soil by supplementation with a high-molecular-weight PAH (pyrene) at three dosages (5, 30, and 70 mg ⋅ kg(-1)). Real-time PCR was used to evaluate the changes in bacterial abundance and pyrene dioxygenase gene (nidA) quantity. Illumina sequencing was used to investigate changes in diversity, structure, and composition of bacterial communities. After 42 days of incubation, no evident degradation was observed. The poor degradation ability was associated with the stability or significant decrease of abundance of the nidA gene. Although the abundance of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene was not affected by pyrene, the bacterial richness and diversity were decreased with increasing dosage of pyrene and the community structure was changed. Phylotypes affected by pyrene were comprehensively surveyed: (1) at the high taxonomic level, seven of the abundant phyla/classes (relative abundance >1.0%) including Chloroflexi, AD3, WPS-2, GAL5, Alphaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Deltaproteobacteria and one rare phylum Crenarchaeota were significantly decreased by at least one dosage of pyrene, while three phyla/classes (Acidobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria) were significantly increased; and (2) at the lower taxonomic level, the relative abundances of twelve orders were significantly depressed, whereas those of nine orders were significantly increased. This work enhanced our understanding of the biodegradation potential of pyrene in red soil and the effect of pyrene on soil ecosystems at the microbial community level.

Abstract
Alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have threatened the environment due to toxicity and poor bioavailability. Interest in degradation of these hazardous materials by biosurfactant-producing bacteria has been steadily increasing in recent years. In this work, a novel biosurfactant-producing Pseudomonas sp. WJ6 was isolated to degrade a wide range of n-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Production of lipopeptide biosurfactant was observed in all biodegradable studies. These lipopeptides were purified and identified by C18 RP-HPLC system and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. Results of structural analysis showed that these lipopeptides generated from different hydrocarbons were classified to be surfactin, fengycin and lichenysin. Heavy-oil sludge washing experiments demonstrated that lipopeptides produced by Pseudomonas sp. WJ6 have 92.46% of heavy-oil washing efficiency. The obtained results indicate that this novel bacterial strain and its lipopeptides have great potentials in the environmental remediation and petroleum recovery.
