Xue C, Cai X, Wu R, Owens G, Chen Z. A new understanding of the regulatory mechanism by which Fe/Mn nanoparticles boost Bisphenol A removal using Comamonas testosteroni. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 478:135503. [PMID: 39146590 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135503] [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: 06/11/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
Green synthesized iron/manganese nanoparticles (Fe/Mn NPs), acted as an exogenous promoter to enhance the lignin-degrading bacteria Comamonas testosteroni FJ17 resulting in more efficient removal of bisphenol A (BPA). Batch experiments demonstrated that removal efficiency of BPA via cells at a BPA concentration of 10 mg·L-1 increased by 20.9 % when exposed to 100 mg·L-1 Fe/Mn NPs after 48 h (93.63 %) relative to an unexposed control group (72.70 %). TEM and 3D-EEM analysis confirmed that the cell membrane thickness increased from 47 to 80 nm under Fe/Mn NPs exposure, and the TB-EPS secretion was promoted. Meanwhile, Fe/Mn NPs facilitated greater electron transfer capacity of c-cytochrome (0.55 V reduction peak) and an unknown cytochrome substance (0.7 V oxidation peak) on the surface of cells. Studies of the effect of Fe/Mn NPs on both the growth and activity of laccase cells showed that both biomass and laccase secretion increased significantly during the logarithmic growth period (6-36 h). LC-MS analysis and toxicity assessment indicated that Fe/Mn NPs decreased the degradation time of BPA and efficiently reduced the toxicity of its by-products. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 315 up-regulation of the key genes associated with energy supply, membrane translocation, and metabolic pathways upon exposure to Fe/Mn NPs. Such as MFS transporter (2.27-fold), diguanylate cyclase (1.76-fold) and protocatechuate-3,4-dioxygenase (1.62-fold). Overall, Fe/Mn NPs accelerated proliferation by enhancing metabolic capacity and nutrient transport processes, which serves to improve the efficiency of BPA removal.

Harnessing the power of bacterial laccases for xenobiotic degradation in water: A 10-year overview. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 918:170498. [PMID: 38307266 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170498] [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: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
Industrialization and population growth are leading to the production of significant amounts of sewage containing hazardous xenobiotic compounds. These compounds pose a threat to human and animal health, as well as the overall ecosystem. To combat this issue, chemical, physical, and biological techniques have been used to remove these contaminants from water bodies affected by human activity. Biotechnological methods have proven effective in utilizing microorganisms and enzymes, particularly laccases, to address this problem. Laccases possess versatile enzymatic characteristics and have shown promise in degrading different xenobiotic compounds found in municipal, industrial, and medical wastewater. Both free enzymes and crude enzyme extracts have demonstrated success in the biotransformation of these compounds. Despite these advancements, the widespread use of laccases for bioremediation and wastewater treatment faces challenges due to the complex composition, high salt concentration, and extreme pH often present in contaminated media. These factors negatively impact protein stability, recovery, and recycling processes, hindering their large-scale application. These issues can be addressed by focusing on large-scale production, resolving operation problems, and utilizing cutting-edge genetic and protein engineering techniques. Additionally, finding novel sources of laccases, understanding their biochemical properties, enhancing their catalytic activity and thermostability, and improving their production processes are crucial steps towards overcoming these limitations. By doing so, enzyme-based biological degradation processes can be improved, resulting in more efficient removal of xenobiotics from water systems. This review summarizes the latest research on bacterial laccases over the past decade. It covers the advancements in identifying their structures, characterizing their biochemical properties, exploring their modes of action, and discovering their potential applications in the biotransformation and bioremediation of xenobiotic pollutants commonly present in water sources.

Abstract
Metalloids are released into the environment due to the erosion of the rocks or anthropogenic activities, causing problems for human health in different world regions. Meanwhile, microorganisms with different mechanisms to tolerate and detoxify metalloid contaminants have an essential role in reducing risks. In this review, we first define metalloids and bioremediation methods and examine the ecology and biodiversity of microorganisms in areas contaminated with these metalloids. Then we studied the genes and proteins involved in the tolerance, transport, uptake, and reduction of these metalloids. Most of these studies focused on a single metalloid and co-contamination of multiple pollutants were poorly discussed in the literature. Furthermore, microbial communication within consortia was rarely explored. Finally, we summarized the microbial relationships between microorganisms in consortia and biofilms to remove one or more contaminants. Therefore, this review article contains valuable information about microbial consortia and their mechanisms in the bioremediation of metalloids.
