Abstract
Antibiotics often coexist with other pollutants (e.g., nitrate) in an aquatic environment, and their simultaneous biological removal has attracted widespread interest. We have found that sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and nitrate can be efficiently removed by the coculture of a model denitrifier (Paracoccus denitrificans, Pd) and Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (So), and SMX degradation is affected by NADH production and electron transfer. In this paper, the mechanism of a coculture promoting NADH production and electron transfer was investigated by proteomic analysis and intermediate experiments. The results showed that glutamine and lactate produced by Pd were captured by So to synthesize thiamine and heme, and the released thiamine was taken up by Pd as a cofactor of pyruvate and ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, which were related to NADH generation. Additionally, Pd acquired heme, which facilitated electron transfer as heme, was the important composition of complex III and cytochrome c and the iron source of iron sulfur clusters, the key component of complex I in the electron transfer chain. Further investigation revealed that lactate and glutamine generated by Pd prompted So chemotactic moving toward Pd, which helped the two bacteria effectively obtain their required substances. Obviously, metabolite cross-feeding promoted NADH production and electron transfer, resulting in efficient SMX biodegradation by Pd and So in the presence of nitrate. Its feasibility was finally verified by the coculture of an activated sludge denitrifier and So.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 454:131545. [PMID: 37148794 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Electroactive bacteria (EAB) and metal oxides are capable of synergistically removing chloramphenicol (CAP). However, the effects of redox-active metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on CAP degradation with EAB are not yet known. This study investigated the synergism of iron-based MOFs (Fe-MIL-101) and Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 on CAP degradation. 0.5 g/L Fe-MIL-101 with more possible active sites led to a three-fold higher CAP removal rate in the synergistic system with MR-1 (initial bacterial concentration of 0.2 at OD600), and showed a superior catalytic effect than exogenously added Fe(III)/Fe(II) or magnetite. Mass spectrometry revealed that CAP was transformed into smaller molecular weight and less toxic metabolites in cultures. Transcriptomic analysis showed that Fe-MIL-101 enhanced the expression of genes related to nitro and chlorinated contaminants degradation. Additionally, genes encoding hydrogenases and c-type cytochromes associated with extracellular electron transfer were significantly upregulated, which may contribute to the simultaneous bioreduction of CAP both intracellularly and extracellularly. These results indicated that Fe-MIL-101 can be used as a catalyst to synergize with EAB to effectively facilitate CAP degradation, which might shed new light on the application in the in situ bioremediation of antibiotic-contaminated environments.

Abstract
The bioavailability of organic compounds to bacterial cells is crucial for their vital activities. This includes both compounds that are desirable to the cells (e.g., sources of energy, carbon, nitrogen, and other nutrients) and undesirable compounds that are toxic to the cells. For this reason, bioavailability is an issue of great importance in many areas of human activity that are related to bacteria, e.g., biotechnological production, bioremediation of organic pollutants, and the use of antibiotics. This article proposes a classification of factors determining bioavailability, dividing them into factors at the physicochemical level (i.e., those related to the solubility of a chemical compound and its transport in aqueous solution) and factors at the microbiological level (i.e., those related to adsorption on the cell surface and those related to transport into the cell). Awareness of the importance of and the mechanisms governing each of the factors described allows their use to change bioavailability in the desired direction.
