SIP-metagenomics reveals key drivers of rhizospheric Benzo[a]pyrene bioremediation via bioaugmentation with indigenous soil microbes. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 360:124620. [PMID: 39067741 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124620] [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: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Rhizoremediation and bioaugmentation have proven effective in promoting benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) degradation in contaminated soils. However, the mechanism underlying bioaugmented rhizospheric BaP degradation with native microbes is poorly understood. In this study, an indigenous BaP degrader (Stenotrophomonas BaP-1) isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil was introduced into ryegrass rhizosphere to investigate the relationship between indigenous degraders and rhizospheric BaP degradation. Stable isotope probing and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing subsequently revealed 15 BaP degraders, 8 of which were directly associated with BaP degradation including Bradyrhizobium and Streptomyces. Bioaugmentation with strain BaP-1 significantly enhanced rhizospheric BaP degradation and shaped the microbial community structure. A correlation of BaP degraders, BaP degradation efficiency, and functional genes identified active degraders and genes encoding polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-ring hydroxylating dioxygenase (PAH-RHD) genes as the primary drivers of rhizospheric BaP degradation. Furthermore, strain BaP-1 was shown to not only engage in BaP metabolism but also to increase the abundance of other BaP degraders and PAH-RHD genes, resulting in enhanced rhizospheric BaP degradation. Metagenomic and correlation analyses indicated a significant positive relationship between glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism and BaP degradation, suggesting a role for these pathways in rhizospheric BaP biodegradation. By identifying BaP degraders and characterizing their metabolic characteristics within intricate microbial communities, our study offers valuable insights into the mechanisms of bioaugmented rhizoremediation with indigenous bacteria for high-molecular-weight PAHs in petroleum-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Sediment cadmium contamination poses risks to aquatic ecosystems. Phytoremediation is an environmentally sustainable method to mitigate cadmium contamination. Submerged macrophytes are affected by cadmium stress, but plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can restore the health status of submerged macrophytes. Herein, we aimed to reduce sediment cadmium concentration and reveal the mechanism by which the combined application of the PGPR Enterobacter ludwigii and the submerged macrophyte Vallisneria natans mitigates cadmium contamination. Sediment cadmium concentration decreased by 21.59% after submerged macrophytes were planted with PGPR, probably because the PGPR colonized the rhizosphere and roots of the macrophytes. The PGPR induced a 5.09-fold increase in submerged macrophyte biomass and enhanced plant antioxidant response to cadmium stress, as demonstrated by decreases in oxidative product levels (reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde), which corresponded to shift in rhizosphere metabolism, notably in antioxidant defence systems (i.e., the peroxidation of linoleic acid into 9-hydroperoxy-10E,12Z-octadecadienoic acid) and in some amino acid metabolism pathways (i.e., arginine and proline). Additionally, PGPR mineralized carbon in the sediment to promote submerged macrophyte growth. Overall, PGPR mitigated sediment cadmium accumulation via a synergistic plantmicrobe mechanism. This work revealed the mechanism by which PGPR and submerged macrophytes control cadmium concentration in contaminated sediment.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 363:121409. [PMID: 38861884 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121409] [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: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
The escalating environmental concerns arising from soils contamination with heavy metals (HMs) and pesticides (PSTs) necessitate the development of sustainable and effective remediation strategies. These contaminants, known for their carcinogenic properties and toxicity even at small amounts, pose significant threats to both environmental ecology and human health. While various chemical and physical treatments are employed globally, their acceptance is often hindered by prolonged remediation times, high costs, and inefficacy in areas with exceptionally high pollutant concentrations. A promising emerging trend in addressing this issue is the utilization of microalgae for bioremediation. Bioremediation, particularly through microalgae, presents numerous benefits such as high efficiency, low cost, easy accessibility and an eco-friendly nature. This approach has gained widespread use in remediating HM and PST pollution, especially in large areas. This comprehensive review systematically explores the bioremediation potential of microalgae, shedding light on their application in mitigating soil pollutants. The paper summarizes the mechanisms by which microalgae remediate HMs and PSTs and considers various factors influencing the process, such as pH, temperature, pollutant concentration, co-existing pollutants, time of exposure, nutrient availability, and light intensity. Additionally, the review delves into the response and tolerance of various microalgae strains to these contaminants, along with their bioaccumulation capabilities. Challenges and future prospects in the microalgal bioremediation of pollutants are also discussed. Overall, the aim is to offer valuable insights to facilitate the future development of commercially viable and efficient microalgae-based solutions for pollutant bioremediation.

Responses of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium, Paraburkholderia fungorum JT-M8, to Cd (II) under P-limited oligotrophic conditions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133123.

Abstract
For the bioremediation of mixed-contamination sites, studies on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation or Cd (II) tolerance in bacteria are commonly implemented in nutrient-rich media. In contrast, in the field, inocula usually encounter harsh oligotrophic habitats. In this study, the environmental strain Paraburkholderia fungorum JT-M8 was used to explore the overlooked Cd (II) defense mechanism during PAH dissipation under P-limited oligotrophic condition. The results showed that the growth and PAH degradation ability of JT-M8 under Cd (II) stress were correlated with phosphate contents and exhibited self-regulating properties. Phosphates mainly affected the Cd (II) content in solution, while the cellular distribution of Cd (II) depended on Cd (II) levels; Cd (II) was mainly located in the cytoplasm when exposed to less Cd (II), and vice versa. The unique Cd (II) detoxification pathways could be classified into three aspects: (i) Cd (II) ionic equilibrium and dose-response effects regulated by environmental matrices (phosphate contents); (ii) bacterial physiological self-regulation, e.g., cell surface-binding, protein secretion and active transport systems; and (iii) specific adaptive responses (flagellum aggregation). This study emphasizes the importance of considering culture conditions when assessing the metal tolerance and provides new insight into the bacterial detoxification process of complex PAH-Cd (II) pollutants.

Abstract
Owing to uncontrolled mining activities and lack of ecological protection measures, phosphate-mining wastelands are contaminated with the heavy metal Cd. In this study, Penicillium oxalicum strain ZP6, a Cd-resistant phosphate-solubilizing fungus, was used in combination with the fast-growing, high-biomass plant Brassica juncea L. to enhance Cd remediation in phosphate-mining wastelands. Further, the bioremediation mechanisms were explored and elucidated. In pot experiments, strain ZP6 and Brassica juncea L. alone were significantly effective in removing Cd from phosphate-mining wastelands; however, their combination was more effective, exhibiting a high removal rate of 88.75%. The presence of phosphorite powder increases soil-enzyme activity, promotes plant growth, and reduces the bioaccumulation and translocation factors. However, Cd-inhibited plant growth and chlorophyll content increased malondialdehyde accumulation, which was alleviated by inoculation with strain ZP6. The results from the study indicate that bioremediation using a combination of strain ZP6 and plants is a restoration strategy with appreciable potential to resolve Cd contamination in phosphate-mining wastelands.

Abstract
Soil and water pollution is of significant concern worldwide because of the consequences of environmental degradation and harmful effects on human health. Water bodies are very much polluted by various organic and inorganic pollutants by different human activities, including industrial wastes. Environmental pollution remains high because of urbanization-induced industrial developments and human lifestyle. It accumulates pollutants in the environment including plants and living organisms. Even mothers' milk is poisoned because of the uncontrolled, widespread increase in pollution. The discharge levels of organic hydrophobic contaminants in the water and soil are increasing rapidly. This severe pollution must be remediated to upgrade the environment and ensure the safety of human beings. It is vital to eradicate soil and water pollution to guarantee sufficient food and water. Different techniques available to remove the pollutants vary according to the type of pollutants. Hydrophobic contaminants are more dangerous than heavy metals and other pollutants; they cannot be easily removed, requiring special care. Hydrophobic organoxenobiotics released in the environment pose severe contamination in soil and water. Therefore, developing efficient and cost-effective processes is necessary to remove hydrophobic contaminants from soil and water. With nanoparticle-mediated remediation techniques, the green-synthesized nanoparticles exhibit improved performance. This review consolidates reports on the remediation techniques of hydrophobic contaminants, focusing on green-synthesized remediation agents. The very limited works on green synthesis of polymeric nanoparticles, particularly polyurethane-based materials for organic contaminants removal demand more attention in this area. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Consolidated the effects of hydrophobic organic and plastic contaminants on environment degradation. Summarized the advantages of green synthesized polymer nanoparticles for efficient removal of hydrophobic contaminants. Discussed the different sources of pollution and remediation techniques referring 112 research works.

Abstract
Soils co-contaminated by organic and inorganic pollutants usually pose major ecological risks to soil ecosystems including plants. Thus, effective strategies are needed to alleviate the phytotoxicity caused by such co-contamination. In this study, microbial agents (a mixture of Bacillus subtilis, Sphingobacterium multivorum, and a commercial microbial product named OBT) and soil amendments (β-cyclodextrin, rice husk, biochar, calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, and organic fertilizer) were evaluated to determine their applicability in alleviating toxicity to crops (maize and soybean) posed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) and potentially toxic metals co-contaminated soils. The results showed that peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activity levels in maize or soybean grown in severely or mildly contaminated soils were significantly enhanced by the integrative effects of amendments and microbial agents, compared with those in single plant treatments. The removal rates of Zn, Pb, and Cd in severely contaminated soils were 49 %, 47 %, and 51 % and 46 %, 45 %, and 48 %, for soybean and maize, respectively. The total contents of Cd, Pb, Zn, and PAHs in soil decreased by day 90. Soil organic matter content, levels of nutrient elements, and enzyme activity (catalase, urease, and dehydrogenase) increased after the amendments and application of microbial agents. Moreover, the amendments and microbial agents also increased the diversity and distribution of bacterial species in the soil. These results suggest that the amendments and microbial agents were beneficial for pollutant purification, improving the soil environment and enhancing both plant resistance to pollutants and immune systems of plants.

Abstract
In this study, we have investigated the removal efficiency of antimony (Sb) and naphthalene (Nap) from a combined contaminated soil by carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CMCD) leaching and reveal its remediation mechanisms by FTIR and 1H NMR analyses. The results show that the highest removal efficiencies of Sb and Nap were 94.82% and 93.59%, respectively, with a CMCD concentration of 15 g L-1 at a pH of 4 and a leaching rate of 2.00 mL min-1 over an interval-time of 12 h. The breakthrough curves show that CMCD had a stronger inclusion capacity of Nap than Sb, and Sb could enhance the adsorption capacity of Nap, while Nap weakened the adsorption of Sb during CMCD leaching. Furthermore, the FTIR analysis suggests that the removal of Sb from combined contaminated soil involved complexation with the carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on CMCD, and the NMR analysis suggests that the inclusion of Nap occurred. These results indicate that CMCD is a good eluant for remediating soil contaminated by a combination of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and its remediation mechanisms depend on the complexation reactions between the surface functional groups and inclusion reactions in the internal cavities.

Currently, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) microbial inoculants are heavily used in agricultural production among which Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. are two excellent inoculum strains, which are widely used in plant growth promotion and disease control. However, few studies have been conducted on the combined use of the two bacteria. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of co-inoculation of these two bacteria on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] growth and physiological indexes and further study the effect of microbial inoculants on native soil bacterial communities and plant endophyte microbiota, especially microorganisms in rhizosphere and root. A pot experiment was conducted and four treatments were designed: group without any strain inoculant (CK); group inoculated with Pseudomonas chlororaphis H1 inoculant (J); group inoculated with Bacillus altitudinis Y1 inoculant (Y) and group inoculated with equal volume of P. chlororaphis H1 inoculant and B. altitudinis Y1 inoculant (H). Compared with CK, the three inoculant groups J, Y, and H exhibited improved soybean growth and physiological indexes, and group H was the most significant (p < 0.05). In terms of rhizosphere bacterial community structure, the relative abundance of native Luteimonas (9.31%) was higher in the H group than in the J (6.07%), Y (3.40%), and CK (5.69%) groups, which has potential value of disease suppression. Besides, compared with bacterial communities of the other three groups in soybean roots, group H increased the abundance of beneficial bacterial community for the contents of Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium, Devosia, and Methylobacillus significantly increased (p < 0.05). In conclusion, we found that the composite inoculum of Pseudomonas chlororaphis H1 and Bacillus altitudinis Y1 could effectively promote soybean growth, increase yield and improve the beneficial bacterial community in root and rhizosphere and have certain value for soil improvement.

Abstract
Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is suitable for growing in heavy metal-polluted soil for non-food purposes and can be used as a potential crop to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soil. The main objective of this study was to investigate kenaf phytoextraction of cadmium (Cd), including uptake, translocation, and accumulation differences in tissues among kenaf cultivars. A field experiment was conducted in a Cd contaminated paddy field in southern China area with 13 kenaf cultivars in 2015 and 2016. Agronomic performance, Cd concentrations in plant tissues (root, xylem, and phloem), and biomass of different tissues of each cultivar were measured and evaluated. Significant differences in Cd concentrations and accumulation among tissues and cultivars were observed. The phloem had the highest Cd accumulation and transfer capability compared with the roots and xylem. Approximately 35 ~ 65 g of Cd could be taken up by the aerial parts of different kenaf cultivars within every hectare of soil. The percentage of Cd uptake by the phloem ranged from 47 to 61% and by the xylem ranged from 38 to 53%. By evaluating the agronomic traits and Cd bioaccumulation capacity, Fuhong 952, Fuhong 992, and Fuhong R1 were regarded as Cd accumulators for the phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soil. Our study clearly demonstrated that a significant level of Cd in the soil was taken up through the phytoremediation with kenaf. In addition, harmless utilization of kenaf planting in Cd-contaminated paddy soil was discussed.

Abstract
In order to explore the effects of added organic matters on the soil formation process of oil-based drill cutting pyrolysis residue, two experiment groups (pure and adding) were studied to indicate the soil microbial community and the function of nitrogen cycling. Samples were collected in the third and fourth years based on the plant growth. The 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology and PICRUSt were used to study microbial communities and the function of nitrogen cycling. The results showed that MND1 (2.5-4.5%), Sphingomonas (1.4-2.4%), and other typical oil-degrading bacteria were discovered. The diversity of the microbial community decreased with the duration of the experiment. However, it was higher than that of the background soil. The relative abundance of microbial nitrogen dissimilation reduction (0.9-1.0‰) was the highest among the two experiment groups and the background soil. The second and third were denitrification and nitrogen fixation. Nitrification gene abundance was the lowest among the five main steps of nitrogen cycling. The addition of organic matters could improve soil formation of pyrolysis residues. This study provides scientific data for pyrolysis residue to restore soil functions.

Abstract
It is a challenging issue to investigate the combined pollution of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in urban soils. The purpose of this study was to determine the concentrations of these two pollutants in soils in Shenyang, Fushun, and Fushun New District, to analyze their distribution, their interaction, and co-contamination levels. The concentrations of heavy metals were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), while the concentrations of 21 kinds of PAH were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Based on the analysis of pollution concentrations and distribution patterns, the intrinsic links between heavy metals and PAHs in three different cities were assessed using a variety of multivariate analysis methods. Compared to Shenfu New District, the concentration of pollutants in Shenyang and Fushun shows a higher level. Moreover, the results of redundancy analysis (RDA) of samples may quantify the possibility of combined pollution of different heavy metal elements and PAHs. This study also affirms the important role of multivariate analysis in being used to reveal the complex interactions and spatial distribution of different pollutants.

Abstract
In recent years, the co-contamination of heavy metals (HMs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has attracted more and more attention, and finding efficient and coordinated removal method has been the hot focus. In this study, Fe/Mn-SBA15 bimetallic mesoporous silica adsorbent (Fe/Mn-SBA15) was prepared by hydrothermal method with the functional groups Fe and Mn simultaneously doped into the framework structure of SBA15. Fe/Mn-SBA15 was systematically characterized by XRD, TEM, and BET and used in removal of typical PAHs-pyrene and heavy metal-Cu (II) from aqueous solutions simultaneously. The single and binary adsorption behaviors were studied by kinetics, isotherm, pH, and ionic strength. The results showed that the functional groups of Fe and Mn were successfully loaded into the structure of SBA15 and the prepared adsorbent was still a typical mesoporous adsorbent. The adsorption of pyrene and Cu (II) onto Fe/Mn-SBA15 was fast and the adsorption equilibrium was achieved in 100 min. The Langmuir model fitted the adsorption isotherm better and the maximum adsorption capacities for pyrene and Cu (II) were 120 mg/g and 10.52 mg/g, respectively. The increase of ionic strength could enhance and decrease the adsorption capacity of pyrene and Cu (II), which may be attributed to salting-out effect and potassium competitive. With the increase of pH values, the negative charge on the surface of the adsorbent increased, resulting in the decrease and increase of adsorption capacity of pyrene and Cu (II) onto Fe/Mn-SBA15. In addition, Fe/Mn-SBA15 was found to have a synergistic effect on the adsorption of pyrene and Cu (II). This result is mainly due to the formation of hydration complex by pyrene-Cu (II) through cation-π interaction, which increases the adsorption capacity by occupying each other's adsorption sites of adsorbent. This study provides a new method for the synergistic removal of PAHs and HMs from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Co-contamination of heavy metals and organic pollutants is widespread in the environment. Metal-tolerant/hyperaccumulating plants have the advantage of enhancing co-operation between plants and rhizospheric microbes under heavy metal stress, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, the effects of Elsholtzia splendens and Lolium perenne on the rhizospheric microbial community and degraders of phenanthrene (PHE) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were investigated. The results showed E. splendens could tolerate high Cu concentrations, while L. perenne was sensitive to Cu toxicity. Although Cu played the most important role in microbial community construction, both E. splendens and L. perenne caused shifts in the rhizospheric microbial community. For PHE and PCB degradation, L. perenne was more efficient under low Cu concentrations, whereas E. splendens performed better under high Cu concentrations. This difference can be attributed to shifts in the degrader community and key degradation genes identified by stable isotope probing. Moreover, higher abundances of various genes for organic pollutant degradation were observed in the rhizosphere of E. splendens than L. perenne based on gene prediction under high Cu stress. Our study reveals underlying mechanism of the advantages of heavy metal-tolerant plants for organic pollutant removal in soils co-contaminated with heavy metals.

Abstract
Medicinal plants are rich sources of specialized metabolites that are of great importance to plants, animals, and humans. The usefulness of active biological compounds cuts across different fields, such as agriculture, forestry, food processing and packaging, biofuels, biocatalysts, and environmental remediation. In recent years, research has shifted toward the use of microbes, especially endophytes (bacteria, fungi, and viruses), and the combination of these organisms with other alternatives to optimize the production and regulation of these compounds. This review reinforces the production of specialized metabolites, especially by plants and microorganisms, and the effectiveness of microorganisms in increasing the production/concentration of these compounds in plants. The study also highlights the functions of these compounds in plants and their applications in various fields. New research areas that should be explored to produce and regulate these compounds, especially in plants and microbes, have been identified. Methods involving molecular studies are yet to be fully explored, and next-generation sequencing possesses an interesting and reliable approach.

Abstract
The effectiveness of the nano/bio process was investigated as a remediation option for co-contaminated soils. Nano/bio process is a hybrid treatment method that may be defined as the use of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) and bioremediation approaches subsequently/concurrently. Different bioremediation approaches (bioattenuation, biostimulation, and/or bioaugmentation) were performed together with nZVI application to remediate Pb- and diesel fuel-spiked soils. Nutrient (N and P) and activated sludge amendment were made to realize biostimulation and bioaugmentation, respectively. The nZVI application decreased the total percentage of the most mobile and bioavailable soil Pb fractions (exchangeable and carbonate-bound) from 68.3 to 31.7%. The biodegradation levels of nZVI-applied co-contaminated soils were significantly higher than the soils without nZVI indicating the positive effect of the reduced mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity of Pb content. The use of nano/biostimulation or nano/bioaugmentation treatments resulted in higher than 60% total n-alkane degradation, whereas 89.5% degradation was obtained by using nano/biostimulation + bioaugmentation. Hydrocarbon-degrader strains belonging to phyla Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, or Firmicutes were identified from samples subjected to nano/bio process and the strains from biostimulation and bioaugmentation treatments were different. These results indicate that the stress on the microbial population caused by the co-contamination might be subsided and the biodegradation of alkanes might be improved by using the nano/bio process.

Abstract
Soil cadmium (Cd) and pyrene (PYR) pollutions have gained worldwide attention due to their negative effects on the environment. Intermittent flooding in rain-rich areas may affect phytoremediation of Cd and PYR in soil. Therefore, a pot-culture experiment, with and without flooding, was conducted to study the effects of flooding on soil Cd and PYR phytoremediation. Concentrations of Cd, PYR, and nutrients in soils and plants, as well as plant physiological and biochemical responses, were examined. Under both flooding and non-flooding conditions, willow (Salix × aureo-pendula CL 'J1011') demonstrated a better ability to remove soil Cd and PYR. Flooding led to higher Cd accumulation in roots than that in shoots. Conversely, non-flooding resulted in higher Cd accumulation in shoots than that in roots. The maximum concentrations of Cd in shoots were 11.02 and 14.07 mg kg-1 with and without flooding, respectively. The maximum dissipation rates of PYR in soil were 47.35% and 88.61% under flooding and non-flooding conditions, respectively. In addition, flooding significantly increased the photosynthetic pigment, photosynthetic fluorescence, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in leaves, compared with non-flooding treatment. Flooding also increased the concentrations of Mg, Mn, P, Fe, and K in roots and shoots. This study outlines an effective insight for the phytoremediation of Cd- and PYR-contaminated soil under flooding condition.

Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have been widely studied, mostly focusing on the methods of separation, detection, and adsorption or the ecological effects in aquatic ecosystems. When different sources and types of MPs/NPs enter the soil, they can affect the biogeochemical cycle in terms of the direct impacts on soil physicochemical properties and soil organisms, and the indirect impact on soil biota through changes in soil material cycling. To date, a few studies have focused on the effects of MPs/NPs on soil ecosystems, including soil properties, microbial communities, soil fauna, and plants, as well as the potential or affirmed correlations among them. In this review, we summarized the recent literature on soil MPs/NPs focusing on their types, sources, separation, and ecological impacts on soil properties, microbes, and plants. We attempted to establish an overall relationship between MPs/NPs and soil plant system. Based on existing studies, we also highlight the research gaps and propose several directions for future studies.

Abstract
Co-existence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and multi-metals challenges the decontamination of large-scale contaminated sites. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the remediation potential of intensified phytoremediation in coping with complex co-contaminated soils. Results showed that the removal of PAHs and heavy metals is time-dependent, pollution-relevant, and plant-specific. Removal of sixteen PAHs by Medicago sativa L. (37.3%) was significantly higher than that of Solanum nigrum L. (20.7%) after 30 days. S. nigrum L. removed higher amounts of Cd than Zn and Pb, while M. sativa L. uptake more Zn. Nevertheless, amendments and microbial agents significantly increased the phytoremediation efficiency of pollutants and shortened the gap between plants. Cd removal and PAHs dissipation reached up to 80% and 90% after 90 days for both plants. Heavy metal stability in soil was promoted after the intensified phytoremediation. Plant lipid peroxidation was alleviated, regulated by changed antioxidant defense systems (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase). Soil enzyme activities including dehydrogenase, urease, and catalase increased up to 5-fold. Soil bacterial diversity and structure were changed, being largely composed of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Patescibacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes. These findings provide a green and sustainable approach to decontaminating complex-polluted environments with comprehensive improvement of soil health.

Abstract
Systemic studies on the bioremediation of co-contaminated PAHs and heavy metals are lacking, and this paper provides an in-depth review on the topic. The released sources and transport of co-contaminated PAHs and heavy metals, including their co-occurrence through formation of cation-π interactions and their adsorption in soil are examined. Moreover, it is investigated that co-contamination of PAHs and heavy metals can drive a synergistic positive influence on bioremediation through enhanced secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs), production of biosynthetic genes, organic acid and enzymatic proliferation. However, PAHs molecular structure, PAHs-heavy metals bioavailability and their interactive cytotoxic effects on microorganisms can exert a challenging influence on the bioremediation under co-contaminated conditions. The fluctuations in bioavailability for microorganisms are associated with soil properties, chemical coordinative interactions, and biological activities under the co-contaminated PAHs-heavy metals conditions. The interactive cytotoxicity caused by the emergence of co-contaminants includes microbial cell disruption, denaturation of DNA and protein structure, and deregulation of antioxidant biological molecules. Finally, this paper presents the emerging strategies to overcome the bioavailability problems and recommends the use of biostimulation and bioaugmentation along with the microbial immobilization for enhanced bioremediation of PAHs-heavy metals co-contaminated sites. Better knowledge of the bioremediation potential is imperative to improve the use of these approaches for the sustainable and cost-effective remediation of PAHs and heavy metals co-contamination in the near future.

Diversity of endophytic bacteria in wild rice (Oryza meridionalis) and potential for promoting plant growth and degrading phthalates. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 806:150310. [PMID: 34583082 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Phthalates (PAEs) accumulated in agricultural soils and rice have increased human exposure risks. Microbial degradation could efficiently reduce the residue of organic pollutants in soil and crop plants. Here, we hypothesized that endophytic bacteria from wild rice have the potential for degradation of PAEs and plant growth promoting. The endophytic bacterial community and functional diversity in wild rice (Oryza meridionalis) were analyzed for the first time, and the potential for PAE degradation and plant growth promoting by endophytes were investigated. The results of Illumina high-throughput sequencing revealed that abundant endophytes inhabited in wild rice with Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria being the dominant phyla. Endophytic bacterial diversity and complexity were confirmed by isolation and clustering of isolates. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis demonstrated that endophytes exerted diverse functions such as plant growth promoting, xenobiotics biodegradation, pollution remediation and bacterial chemotaxis. Pure culture experiment showed that 30 isolated endophytic strains exhibited in vitro plant growth promoting activities, and rice plants inoculated with these strains confirmed their growth promoting abilities. Some endophytic strains were capable of efficiently degrading PAEs, with the highest removal percentage of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) up to 96.1% by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain L381 within 5 days. Synthetic community F and strain L381 rapidly removed DBP from soil (removing 91.0%-99.2% within 10 d and from rice plant slurry (removing 93.4%-99.2% within 5 d). These results confirmed the hypothesis and demonstrated the diversity of endophytic bacteria in wild rice with diverse functions, especially for plant growth promoting and removing PAEs. These multifunctional endophytic bacteria provided good alternatives to reduce PAE accumulation in crops and increase yield.

Abstract
The pollutants have become ubiquitous in the total environment (water, soil and air) due to human activities and they are hazardous to all forms of life on the earth. This problem has made scientists focus on mitigating or complete reduction in pollutants by several means. Microorganism and plants are known to scavenge pollutants. Both are studied enormously in reducing, refining, and removing pollutants from the environment successfully. But, their slow process for removal is disadvantage. However, according to recent advancements in the abatement of pollutants, a combined system of both microorganisms and plant has shown to enhance the remediation of pollutants to an efficient level. In a nutrient-depleted pollutant-rich environment, when suitable plant and microorganisms are introduced, the plant interacts with the rhizosphere and root associate with microorganisms to survive in toxic conditions. The chemicals released by plants signal the microorganisms for interactions. This interaction leads in higher germination efficiency and enhanced root elongation which results in enhanced degradation of pollutants in both rhizosphere and phyllosphere. In this background, the current review article provides an overview of the recent advancement in microorganisms plant combined systems in enhanced removal of several recalcitrant pollutants. The conclusion highlights the challenges and future perspectives in this area of research.

Abstract
The co-occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals in agricultural soils has become a worldwide food crop security concern. Pot experiments, rhizosphere microbial metagenomic sequencing, and root metatranscriptomic sequencing were performed to investigate the interactions among pyrene, Cu, and Cd in a soil-maize (Zea mays L.) system. This study provided direct evidence that the co-presence of PAHs and heavy metals changed the root physiological functions and the rhizosphere microbial community, which subsequently influenced the fate of the contaminants. Co-contamination at low levels tended to enhance the uptake potential and biodegradation performance of the plant, whereas increased contaminant concentrations produced opposite effects. The co-presence of 1000 mg/kg Cu decreased the abundance of Mycobacterium in the rhizosphere and reduced pyrene degradation by 12%-16%. The presence of 400-750 mg/kg pyrene altered the metabolic processes, molecular binding functions, and catalytic activity of enzymes in the maize roots, thus impeding the phytoextraction of Cu and Cd. Competitive absorption between Cu and Cd was observed for the 800-1000 mg/kg Cu and 50-100 mg/kg Cd co-treatment, in which Cu showed a competitive advantage, enhancing its root-to-shoot translocation. These findings provide important information for the production of safe crops and for the development of phytoremediation technologies.

Abstract
Although celery has been established as an effective plant in the remediation of organic pollutant-contaminated soil, few studies have investigated the associated biological processes in rhizosphere and the effect of celery on agricultural field remediation in situ. In this study, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated agricultural greenhouse was used as the experimental site, and three celery species (Apium graveolens L., Oenanthe javanica (Blume) DC., Libanotis seseloides (Fisch. & C.A. Mey. ex Turcz.) Turcz.) were applied for in situ remediation. After 90 days, the PAH dissipation rate of the L. seseloides treatment was highest (50.21%), and most of the PAHs were limited to its roots (translocation factor 0.516). This suggested that L. seseloides is a potential species for phytoremediation coupled with agro-production. The culturable microbial population and invertase activity results strongly supported that O. javanica is suitable for the establishment of exogenous bacteria-celery co-remediation techniques. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity was highly significantly positively correlated with the PAH dissipation rate (r = 0.984, P < 0.01), and we suggest that PPO can be used as a microecological index during PAH remediation.

Abstract
Atmospheric CO2 levels have been increasing with increasing industrialization. Studies have shown the growth response of various plant species to climate change and increasing CO2 levels, but variations in phytoremediation caused by elevated CO2 levels, especially in intercropping systems, have rarely been reported. The current study therefore revealed variations in the phytoremediation effect of Festuca arundinacea intercropped with Echinochloa caudata, a pernicious annual weed, exposed to various CO2 levels (280, 400, and 550 ppm). The biomass yield and Cd uptake capacity of monocultured F. arundinacea were found to increase with increasing atmospheric CO2 level, highlighting the promoted phytoremediation efficiency of this species under elevated CO2 levels. Elevated CO2 levels also significantly increased the dry weight of monocultured E. caudata but did not change the Cd content in various parts of the plant. However, the intercropping system decreased the biomass yield of belowground and aerial parts of F. arundinacea under all treatments, since E. caudata competed with it for water and nutrients. The weight reduction of F. arundinacea in the intercropping system increased with increasing CO2 level, because elevated CO2 significantly increased the competitiveness of the weed. Therefore, the Cd phytoremediation efficiency of F. arundinacea intercropped with E. caudata exposed to 280, 400, and 550 ppm CO2 decreased by 46.1%, 81.5%, and 215.0%, respectively, as evidenced by the decreased dry weight of F. arundinacea. Therefore, elevated CO2 levels could decrease the phytoremediation effect of F. arundinacea in fields where weed growth is unavoidable.

Abstract
Due to ecologically unsustainable mining strategies, there remain large areas of phosphate mining wasteland contaminated with accumulated lead (Pb). In this study, a Pb-resistant phosphate-solubilizing strain of Pseudomonas sp., LA, isolated from phosphate mining wasteland, was coupled with two species of native plants, ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and sonchus (Sonchus oleraceus L.), for use in enhancing the reduction of bioavailable Pb in soil from a phosphate mining wasteland. The effect of PbCO3 solubilization by Pseudomonas sp. strain LA was evaluated in solution culture. It was found that strain LA could attain the best solubilization effect on insoluble Pb when the PbCO3 concentration was 1% (w/v). Pot experiments were carried out to investigate the potential of remediation by ryegrass and sonchus in phosphate mining wastelands with phosphate rock application and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria inoculation. Compared to the control group without strain LA inoculation, the biomass and length of ryegrass and sonchus were markedly increased, available P and Pb in roots increased by 22.2%-325% and 23.3%-368%, respectively, and available P and Pb in above-ground parts increased by 4.44%-388% and 1.67%-303%, respectively, whereas available Pb in soil decreased by 14.1%-27.3%. These results suggest that the combination of strain LA and plants is a bioremediation strategy with considerable potential and could help solve the Pb-contamination problem in phosphate mining wastelands.

Rhizosphere effect on removal and bioavailability of PAHs in contaminated agricultural soil. Biologia (Bratisl) 2021.

Abstract
AbstractThe rhizosphere effect of ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) dissipation, bioavailability and the structure change of microbial community was investigated using a compartmented device-rhizobox. The PAHs removal efficiency, bioavailability and the change in structure of the microbial community were ascertained using HPLC, Tenax-TA extraction and PCR-DGGE, respectively. The results showed that in the root area (R1) and bulk soil (CK), the removal of 3-ring PAHs were 97.72 ± 0.34% and 95.51 ± 0.75%, 4-ring PAHs were 89.01 ± 1.61% and 78.65 ± 0.47%, 5-ring PAHs were 77.64 ± 4.05% and 48.63 ± 3.19%, 6-ring PAHs were 68.69 ± 3.68% and 36.09 ± 1.78%, respectively. The average removal efficiency of the total PAHs after 80 days followed the order: R1M (91.1%) > CKM (84.9%) > CK (77.6%), indicating that planted soil with inoculation of Mycobacterium sp. as well as non-planted soil inoculated with Mycobacterium sp. could both significantly accelerate the removal of PAHs compared to control soil. The bioavailability ratio of PAHs with 3 and 4 rings tended to decrease (from 59.9% to 14.8% for 3-ring and 7.61% to 5.08% for 4-ring, respectively in R1) while those with 5 rings increased significantly (from 2.41% to 33.78% in R1) during the last 40 days, indicating that bioavailability alteration varies with the number of rings in the PAHs. In addition, PAH bioavailability generally did not show a significant difference between treated soil and control soil. These results suggest that ryegrass rhizosphere effect as well as inoculation of Mycobacterium sp. can accelerate PAH removal in polluted soil. The bacteria community structure demonstrated a complex interplay of soil, bacteria and ryegrass root, and potential PAH degraders were present in abundance. This study provides the exploring data of rhizosphere and bioaugmentation effect on PAH dissipation in agricultural soil, as well as the change of bioavailability and microbial composition thereof.

Abstract
This study investigated Fire Phoenix (Festuca L.) and Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench inoculated with a Mycobacterium strain N12 in remediation of soils contaminated with both polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and cadmium (Cd). Plant growth and PAH and Cd removal were monitored in 60, 120, and 150 days after transplanting. Results showed that Fire Phoenix plants grown in soil containing 200 mg/kg PAHs and 15 mg/kg Cd inoculated with N12 were able to remove 76.3% PAHs compared to removal of 68.3% of PAHs by the plants without N12 inoculation. On day 150, the underground biomass of Fire Phoenix plants grown in soil inoculated with N12 increased 59.40% compared to that without N12 inoculation. The enhanced removal of PAH by Fire Phoenix and N12 was related to the improved rhizosphere microbial activities. However, inoculation of N12 to E. purpurea grown soil did not significantly improve the removal of PAHs and Cd. Our results showed that phytoremediation of PAHs and Cd can be enhanced by a Mycobacterium strain N12, especially when PLFA concentrations of bacteria and fungi exceeded 60% of the initial concentrations, but the enhancement is plant species dependent.

Combination of plant-growth-promoting and fluoranthene-degrading microbes enhances phytoremediation efficiency in the ryegrass rhizosphere. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:6068-6077. [PMID: 32989700 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-020-10937-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Plant- and/or microbe-based systems can provide a cost-effective, sustainable means to remove contaminants from soil. Microbe-assisted phytoremediation has potential utility for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as fluoranthene (Flu) removal from soils; however, the efficiency varies with the plant and microbes used. This study evaluated the Flu removal efficiency in a system with ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), an IAA-producing Arthrobacter pascens strain (ZZ21), and/or a Flu-degrading Bacillus cereus strain (Z21). Strain ZZ21 significantly enhanced the growth of ryegrass. Ryegrass in combination with both strains (FIP) was the most effective method for Flu removal. By day 60, 74.9% of the Flu was depleted in the FIP treatment, compared with 21.1% in the control (CK), 63.7% with ryegrass alone (P), 69.0% for ryegrass with ZZ21 (IP), and 72.6% for ryegrass with Z21 (FP). FIP treatment promoted ryegrass growth, accelerated Flu accumulation in plants, and increased soil microbial counts. Microbial carbon utilization was significantly higher in soil in the FIP than with the CK treatment. Principal component analysis of the distribution of carbon substrate utilization showed that microbial functional profiles diverged among treatments, and this divergence became more profound at day 60 than day 30. Microbial inoculation significantly enhanced microbial utilization of phenols. Microbes in the FIP soil dominantly utilized amines/amides and phenols at day 30 but shifted to carbohydrates by day 60. Together, the combination of IAA-producing microbes and Flu-degrading microbes could promote plant growth, facilitate Flu degradation, and change soil microbial functional structure.

The influence of long-term Zn and Cu contamination in Spolic Technosols on water-soluble organic matter and soil biological activity. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 208:111471.

Abstract
Potentially toxic elements (PTE) pollution has a pronounced negative effect on the soil and its components. The characteristics of soil organic matter and the activity of soil enzymes can serve as sensitive indicators of the degree of changes occurring in the soil. This study aims to assess the effect of long-term severe soil contamination with Zn and Cu on water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) and the associated changes in the biochemical activity of microorganisms. The total content of Zn and Cu in the studied soils varies greatly: Zn from 118 to 65,311 mg/kg, Cu from 52 to 437 mg/kg. The content of WSOM was determined using cold and hot extraction. It was revealed that the WSOM, extracted with cold water is a sensitive indicator reflecting the nature of the interaction of Zn and Cu with it. With an increase in the Cu and Zn content, the amount of WSOM extracted with cold water increases due to rise in the complex-bound metal compounds associated with it. The content of complex-bound compounds Zn in Spolic Technosols reaches 50% of the total metal content. It is shown that one of the biogeochemical mechanisms of microorganisms' adaptation to metal contamination is clearly manifested by the increase in the content of WSOM. The precipitation of metal carbonates develops in the soil which reduces the mobility and toxicity of PTE. Due to this mechanism, a decrease in the activity of dehydrogenases and urease was not prominent in all studied soils, despite the very high level of pollution and the transformation of organic matter. The study of the relationship of PTE with the most easily transformed part of WSOM and the activity of soil enzymes is of great importance for an objective assessment of possible environmental risks.

Abstract
Soil contaminated by combinations of heavy metals and organic pollutants has become an increasingly prominent environmental issue. Developing efficient technologies to synchronously decontaminate such co-contaminated sites is challenging and imperative. In our previous study for the treatment of Copper (Cu) and pyrene contaminated soil, electrokinetics (EK) coupled acidic permanganate (PM) performed best for degradation of pyrene near the injection spot, but it unfortunately prevented the migration of Cu. In order to further enhance the removal efficiency of these contaminants, in this study, batch experiments were conducted to investigate the feasibility of delivering PM by EK under regular refreshment of acidoxidant along with amplification of voltage gradient. The results showed that PM can be transported from cathode to anode to S2 section (near the anode) with a slow mass transfer rate via electromigration and reversed electroosmotic flow, and further delivery was achieved when Cu and pyrene were coexisted. The reaction of pyrene with PM produced a lower soil pH condition, which was conductive to the transport of Cu, and the existence of Cu promoted the migration of PM. The coexistence of Cu and pyrene favored the removal efficiency of the pollutants, and 92.8% of Cu and 70.7% of pyrene were removed after 15 d EK treatment. Thus, EK + acidic PM with regularly supplement of oxidant is appropriate to achieve complete mass depletion of heavy metals and PAHs, especially in low buffered soils.

Abstract
A promising technology was proposed for the remediation of Cu and phenanthrene (PHE) co-contaminated soil. Firstly, Cu and PHE were simultaneously removed from soil using an extraction agent containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and Tween 80 (TW80). Specifically, Cu was mobilized by the chelation of EDTA while PHE was desorpted from soil by TW80 micelles. At 20 mL g-1 of liquid to soil ratio, 10 g L-1 TW80 and 1 mM EDTA, 73.5% Cu and 68.1% PHE were removed by soil washing. The extraction agent was then recovered from effluent by photoelectro-persulfate (PE/PS) process after soil washing. Under the conditions of 10 mM PS, 4 mA cm-2 current density, natural pH of 3.5 and 150 min treatment, 83.6% Cu was reduced to elemental copper but only 36.8% EDTA was recovered, while 99.6% PHE was eliminated and 94.0% TW80 was recovered. The result of quenching experiments indicated PHE was predominantly oxidized by sulfate radical, though hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen were also identified by electron paramagnetic resonance technique. The recovered extracting agent could be reused for further three washing cycles. The results demonstrated that soil washing followed by PE/PS process could be a cost-effective remediation technology for heavy metal and organic co-contaminated soil.

Abstract
The limited adsorption capacity of the substrate and the concentration of dissolved oxygen in constructed wetlands (CWs) have inhibited their ability to efficiently remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from wastewater. Presently, biochar and activated carbon modified with Fe3+ and Mn4+ were used as effective sorbents in the removal of benzofluoranthene (BbFA), a typical PAH, in CW microcosms. The addition of metallic ions embedded carbon increased NO3-N accumulation by the reduction of Fe3+ and Mn4+, which led to improved BbFA degradation. Additionally, plant adsorption in root and stem sections were observed separately. The abundance of PAH-degrading microbes in the rhizosphere substrate was higher with the metallic ions embedded carbon than control group. The Fe3+, Mn4+ and NO3-N served as electron acceptors increased BbFA microbial degradation. The removal pathways of BbFA in the modified CWs were proposed which involved settlement in the substrate, plant absorption, and microbial degradation.

Abstract
Serious contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) occurs at outdoor shooting ranges due to the accumulation of clay target fragments containing coal tar or petroleum pitch. These contaminated sites are characterized with high-molecular-weight PAHs that are low in bioavailability and recalcitrant to bioremediation. We evaluated the effectiveness of different remediation strategies, used individually or in combinations, to decontaminate PAHs in a shooting range soil. The treatments included vegetation with bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers] or switchgrass [Panicum virgatum]), bioaugmentation of Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1, and addition of surfactants (Brij-35, rhamnolipid biosurfactant, or Brij-35/sodium dodecyl sulfate mixture). The initial total PAH concentration in the shooting range soil was 373 mg/kg and consisted of primarily high-molecular-weight PAHs (84%). Planting of bermudagrass and switchgrass resulted in 36% and 27% ∑16PAH reduction compared to the non-vegetated control, respectively. Bermudagrass enhanced soil dehydrogenase activity and both vegetation treatments also increased polyphenol oxidase activity. Bioaugmentation of M. vanbaalenii PYR-1 had a significant effect only on the dissipation of high-molecular-weight PAHs, leading to a 15% decrease (∑10PAH) compared to the control. In the non-vegetated soil, Brij-35/sodium dodecyl sulfate mixture increased PAH degradation compared to the no surfactant control. The increased PAH biodegradation in the vegetated and bioaugmented treatments improved lettuce [Lactuca sativa] seed germination, suggesting reduced toxicity in the treated soils. Phytoremediation using bermudagrass or switchgrass with bioaugmentation of M. vanbaalenii PYR-1 was an effective in situ remediation option for shooting range soils with heavy PAH contamination.

Abstract
Pot-culture experiments were conducted to investigate the potential of microorganism-saponin assisted phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd) and benzo(a)pyrene (B[a]P) co-contaminated soil using Cd-hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii. Results showed that B[a]P-degrading bacterium (Ochrobactrum intermedium B[a]P-16) inoculation significantly increased root (by 22.1-24.1%) and shoot (by 20.5-23.4%) biomass of S. alfredii, whereas the application of saponin had no effect on the growth of S. alfredii. The saponin solution at 2 g L-1 extracted more Cd and B[a]P than water, saponin enhanced Cd and B[a]P bioavailability in soil and thus promoted their uptake and accumulation in S. alfredii. The activity of B[a]P-16, dehydrogenase and polyphenol oxidase in co-contaminated soil was promoted by growing S. alfredii, and the application of B[a]P-16 and saponins caused a significant (P < 0.05) increase in both enzyme activities. The maximum B[a]P removal rate (82.0%) and Cd phytoextraction rate (19.5%) were obtained by co-application of S. alfredii with B[a]P-16 and saponin. The B[a]P-16 and plant promoted biodegradation were the predominant contributors towards removal of B[a]P from soil. A significant (P < 0.05) synergistic effect of B[a]P-16 and saponin on B[a]P and Cd removal efficiency was observed in this study. It is suggested that planting S. alfredii with application of B[a]P-16 and saponin would be an effective method for phytoremediation of soil co-contaminated with Cd and PAHs.

Abstract
Pot experiments were conducted in a growth chamber to evaluate the phytoremediation efficiency and rhizosphere regulation mechanism of Fire Phoenix (a mixture of Festuca L.) in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-cadmium (PAH-Cd) co-contaminated soils. Plant biomass, removal rates of PAHs and Cd, soil enzyme activity, and soil bacterial community were determined. After 150 days of planting, the removal rates of the total 4 PAHs and Cd reached 64.57% and 40.93% in co-contaminated soils with low-PAH (104.79-144.87 mg·kg-1), and 68.29% and 25.40% in co-contaminated soils with high-PAH (169.17-197.44 mg·kg-1), respectively. The polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity decreased in soils having Fire Phoenix, while the dehydrogenase (DHO) activity increased as the changes of DHO activity had a strong positive correlation with the removal rates of PAHs and Cd in the low-PAH soils (r = 0.862 (P < 0.006) and 0.913 (P < 0.002), respectively). Meanwhile, successional changes in the bacterial communities were detected using high-throughput 454 Gs-FLX pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA, and these changes were especially apparent for the co-contaminated soils with the low PAH concentration. The Fire Phoenix could promote the growth of Mycobacterium, Dokdonella, Gordonia and Kaistobacter, which played important roles in PAHs degradation or Cd dissipation. These results indicated that Fire Phoenix could effectively motivate the soil enzyme and bacterial community and enhance the potential for phytoremediation of PAH-Cd co-contaminated soils.

Farzana S, Zhou H, Cheung SG, Tam NFY. Could mangrove plants tolerate and remove BDE-209 in contaminated sediments upon long-term exposure? JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 378:120731. [PMID: 31202074 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2018] [Revised: 04/17/2019] [Accepted: 06/03/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) such as BDE-209, the commonest congener, are known to be toxic. A 24-months study using mangrove mesocosms with mixed mangrove species, namely Avicennia marina (Am), Aegiceras corniculatum (Ac) and Kandelia obovata (Ko), or without any plant was conducted to examine toxicity, removal, translocation and uptake of BDE-209. At month 24, BDE-209 stimulated the production of root superoxide radical (O2-*), and leaf and root malondialdehyde (MDA) of Ko, enhanced leaf O2-* of Ac, but did not affect the production of O2-* and MDA in Am. These findings indicated that the tolerance to BDE-209 was species-specific, with Am being the most tolerant and Ko the most sensitive species. In leaf and root, BDE-209 stimulated peroxidase (POD) activity in both Ac and Ko, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in Am. After 24-months, more than 60% and 40% of BDE-209 in contaminated sediments were removed in planted and unplanted groups, respectively, with more PBDEs in upper than bottom sediment layers. This study demonstrates that planting tolerant species such as Avicennia marina with high uptake could remedy PBDEs in contaminated sediments.

Metagenomic Insights and Genomic Analysis of Phosphogypsum and Its Associated Plant Endophytic Microbiomes Reveals Valuable Actors for Waste Bioremediation. Microorganisms 2019; 7:microorganisms7100382. [PMID: 31547633 PMCID: PMC6843645 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms7100382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2019] [Revised: 09/08/2019] [Accepted: 09/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
The phosphogypsum (PG) endogenous bacterial community and endophytic bacterial communities of four plants growing in phosphogypsum-contaminated sites, Suaeda fruticosa (SF), Suaeda mollis (SM), Mesembryanthmum nodiflorum (MN) and Arthrocnemum indicum (AI) were investigated by amplicon sequencing. Results highlight a more diverse community of phosphogypsum than plants associated endophytic communities. Additionally, the bacterial culturable communities of phosphogypsum and associated plant endophytes were isolated and their plant-growth promotion capabilities, bioremediation potential and stress tolerance studied. Most of plant endophytes were endowed with plant growth-promoting (PGP) activities and phosphogypsum communities and associated plants endophytes proved highly resistant to salt, metal and antibiotic stress. They also proved very active in bioremediation of phosphogypsum and other organic and inorganic environmental pollutants. Genome sequencing of five members of the phosphogypsum endogenous community showed that they belong to the recently described species Bacillus albus (BA). Genome mining of BA allowed the description of pollutant degradation and stress tolerance mechanisms. Prevalence of this tool box in the core, accessory and unique genome allowed to conclude that accessory and unique genomes are critical for the dynamics of strain acquisition of bioremediation abilities. Additionally, secondary metabolites (SM) active in bioremediation such as petrobactin have been characterized. Taken together, our results reveal hidden untapped valuable bacterial actors for waste remediation.

Abstract
The present work investigated the removal behaviour of phenanthrene (PHE) by nano zero-valent iron immobilized on alkali modified biochar (nZVI/MB). Batch studies showed that nZVI/MB enhanced PHE removal by 4.9 times that of the nZVI and 1.2 times that of modified biochar (MB) alone, due to the greater surface area and the inhibited aggregation of nZVI on the surface of MB. Transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the spherical nZVI particulates with an average diameter of 32 nm uniformly dispersed on the surface of MB. The PHE removal fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model (R2>0.98) was an endothermic and spontaneous process. The forces of π-π interaction, hydrophobic interaction and reduction of supported nZVI were contributed to PHE removal process. In addition, the PHE degradation products in solution were determined by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer after reaction with nZVI/MB.

Effects of β-cyclodextrin on phytoremediation of soil co-contaminated with Cd and BDE-209 by arbuscular mycorrhizal amaranth. CHEMOSPHERE 2019; 220:910-920. [PMID: 33395812 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.12.211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2018] [Revised: 12/14/2018] [Accepted: 12/31/2018] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Pot experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of a series of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on phytoremediation of soil co-contaminated with Cd and BDE-209 by amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.) inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) - Rhizophagus intraradices. Results showed that the combination of mycorrhizal amaranth and 0.4% β-CD (RI+β0.4) significantly enhanced Cd concentrations and contents in shoots, total PBDEs concentration in roots, and BDE-209 dissipation in soil. Moreover, the RI+β0.4 treatment exerted the highest removal efficiency of both Cd and BDE-209. On the contrary, the xylem area, shoot Cd and BDE-209 concentrations and contents, and removal efficiency of Cd were markedly reduced in mycorrhizal amaranth with 0.8% or 1.2% β-CD treatments (RI+β0.8, RI+β1.2), compared with single inoculation treatment. The well-organized chloroplast and well-defined root anatomical structure were also observed in the treatment of RI+β0.4. Positive correlation was found between shoot biomass and chlorophyll concentrations. Shoot Cd or BDE-209 concentrations were positively correlated with xylem areas. In conclusion, mycorrhizal amaranth added with 0.4% β-CD could be used for the decontamination of soil polluted with mixture of Cd and BDE-209 due to the higher chlorophyll concentration and the larger xylem area.

Abstract
Secondary lead smelting is a widespread industrial activity which has exacerbated Pb or Cd contamination of soil and water across the world. Soil physicochemical properties, soil enzyme activities, heavy metal concentrations, and bacterial diversity near a secondary lead plant in Xuzhou, China were examined in this study. The results showed that secondary lead smelting activities influenced nearby soils. Soil acidification decreased one order of magnitude, with a mean value of 7.3. Soil organic matter also showed a downward trend, while potassium and nitrogen appeared to accumulate. Soil urease and protease activity increased in samples with greater heavy metal pollution, but overall the soil microbial biodiversity decreased. Soil heavy metal concentration-especially Pb and Cd-greatly exceeded the concentrations of Chinese Environmental Quality Standard for Soils (GB 15618-1995). Some environmental factors-such as pH, organic matter, enzyme activity, and the concentration of heavy metals-significantly affected bacterial diversity: compared with the control site, the Chao1 estimator decreased about 50%, while the Shannon diversity index dropped approximately 20%. Moreover, some genera have significant relationships with heavy metal concentration-such as Ramlibacter with Zn and Steroidobacter with Cd-which might act as bio-indicators for soil remediation. These results will provide a new insight in the future for reclaiming soil contaminants caused by secondary lead smelting.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of P. vittata and a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacterium (Alcaligenes sp.) on arsenic (As) uptake and phenanthrene dissipation. Bacterial inoculation substantially increased As accumulation in plants by 27.8% (frond) and 27.5% (root) at 60d, respectively, compared with the non-inoculated treatment, although temporal change of As translocation and reduction in plants was observed. Bacterial inoculation positively affected plants by improving growth, nutrition and antioxidative activities, and helped to modify soil As availability to the plants, which may benefit in plant tolerance and As accumulation. Plant and bacteria association enhanced phenanthrene dissipation from the soil, with the highest dissipation rate of 96.4% at 60d in the rhizosphere, which might be associated with enhanced bacterial population and activity inspired by the growth of plant. The result reveals that combination of P. vittata and PAH-degrading bacteria can promote As accumulation and phenanthrene dissipation, and can be exploited as a promising strategy for As and PAH co-contamination remediation.

Abstract
Biological treatments are considered an environmentally option to clean-up polluted soil with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). A pot experiment was conducted to comparatively evaluate four different strategies, including natural attenuation (NA), mycoaugmentation (M) by using Crucibulum leave, phytoremediation (P) using maize plants, and microbial-assisted phytoremediation (MAP) for the bioremediation of an aged PAH-polluted soil at 180 days. The P treatment had higher affinity degrading 2-3 and 4 ring compounds than NA and M treatments, respectively. However, M and P treatments were more efficient in regards to naphthalene, indeno[l,2,3-c,d]pyrene and benzo[g,h,i]perylene degradation respect to NA. However, 4, 5-6 rings undergo a strong decline during the microbe-assisted phytoremediation, being the treatment which determined the highest rates of PAHs degradation. Sixteen PAH compounds, except fluorene and dibenzo[a,h]anthracene, were found in maize roots, whereas the naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, and pyrene were accumulated in the shoots, in both P and MAP treatments. However, higher PAH content in maize biomass was achieved during the MAP treatment respect to P treatment. The bioconversion and translocation factors were less than 1, indicating that phystabilization/phytodegradation processes occurred rather than phytoextraction. The microbial biomass, activity and ergosterol content were significantly boosted in the MAP treatment respect to the other treatments at 180 days. Ours results demonstrated that maize-C. laeve association was the most profitable technique for the treatment of an aged PAH-polluted soil when compared to other bioremediation approaches.

Abstract
The application of graphene oxide (GO) has attracted increasing concerns in the past decade regarding its environmental impacts, except for the impact of GO on a metal-contaminated soil system, due to its special properties. In the present work, the effects of GO on the migration and transformation of heavy metals and soil bacterial communities in Cd-contaminant soil were systematically evaluated. Soil samples were exposed to different doses of GO (0, 1, and 2 g kg-1) over 60 days. The Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) sequential extraction procedure was used to reflect the interaction between GO and Cd. Several microbial parameters, including enzyme activities and bacterial community structure, were measured to determine the impacts of GO on polluted soil microbial communities. It was shown that Cd was immobilized by GO throughout the entire exposure period. Interestingly, the structure of the bacterial community changed. The relative abundance of the major bacterial phyla (e.g., Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria) increased, which was possibly attributed to the reduced toxicity of Cd in the presence of GO. However, GO exerted an adverse influence on the relative abundance of some phyla (e.g., WD272 and TM6). The diversity of bacterial communities was slightly restricted. The functional bacteria related to carbon and the nitrogen cycling were also affected, which, consequently, may influence the nutrient cycling in soil.

Abstract
Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the efficiency of a simultaneous chemical extraction and oxidation for removing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and toxic metals from an actual soil polluted by the recycling activity of electronic waste. Various chemicals, including hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD), citric acid (CA) and sodium persulfate (SP) were applied synchronously with Fe2+ activated oxidation to enhance the co-removal of both types of pollutants. It is found that the addition of HPCD can enhance POPs removal through solubilization of POPs and iron chelation; while the CA-chelated Fe2+ activation process is effective for extracting metals and degrading residual POPs. Under the optimized reagent conditions, 69.4% Cu, 78.1% Pb, 74.6% Ni, 97.1% polychlorinated biphenyls, 93.8% polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and 96.4% polybrominated diphenylethers were removed after the sequential application of SP-HPCD-Fe2+ and SP-CA-Fe2+ processes with a duration of 180 and 240 min, respectively. A high dehalogenation efficiency (84.8% bromine and 86.2% chlorine) is observed, suggesting the low accumulation of halogen-containing organic intermediates. The remediated soil can satisfy the national soil quality standard of China. Collectively, co-contaminated soil can be remediated with reasonable time and capital costs through simultaneous application of persulfate oxidation and chemical extraction.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 24:11265-11278.

Abstract
Thermal treatments prior or during chemical oxidation of aged polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soils have already shown their ability to increase oxidation effectiveness. However, they were never compared on the same soil. Furthermore, oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (O-PACs), by-products of PAH oxidation which may be more toxic and mobile than the parent PAHs, were very little monitored. In this study, two aged PAH-contaminated soils were heated prior (60 or 90 °C under Ar for 1 week) or during oxidation (60 °C for 1 week) with permanganate and persulfate, and 11 O-PACs were monitored in addition to the 16 US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) PAHs. Oxidant doses were based on the stoichiometric oxidant demand of the extractable organic fraction of soils by using organic solvents, which is more representative of the actual contamination than only the 16 US EPA PAHs. Higher temperatures actually resulted in more pollutant degradation. Two treatments were about three times more effective than the others: soil heating to 60 °C during persulfate oxidation and soil preheating to 90 °C followed by permanganate oxidation. The results of this study showed that persulfate effectiveness was largely due to its thermal activation, whereas permanganate was more sensitive to PAH availability than persulfate. The technical feasibility of these two treatments will soon be field-tested in the unsaturated zone of one of the studied aged PAH-contaminated soils.

Abstract
The photodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may be an important degradation pathway of PAHs in regions with a high solar radiation. The present investigation was aimed at studying the photodegradation of PAHs after their deposition on surface soils with different textures. Photodegradation by-products were also identified and semi-quantified, as well as correlated with the decrease of parent compounds. The experiment was performed by deploying soil samples spiked with a mixture of the 16 US EPA priority PAHs in a methacrylate box, exposed to solar radiation for 7days, meaning a solar energy of 102.6MJm-2. As hypothesized, the individual PAHs were volatilized, sorbed and/or photodegraded, depending on their physicochemical properties, as well as the soil characteristics. Low and medium molecular weight PAHs were more sorbed and photodegraded in fine-textured Regosol soil, while a higher volatilization was observed in the coarse-textured Arenosol soil. In contrast, high molecular weight PAHs were more photodegraded in Arenosol soil. Specially low half-lives were noted for anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene, agreeing with previous findings at laboratory scale. Nine by-products were identified, including oxy-, nitro- and hydro-PAHs, whose toxic and mutagenic potential might be higher than the 16 priority PAHs.
