Wu B, Liu F, Liang Z, Wang C, Wang S. Spatial distribution of cable bacteria in nationwide organic-matter-polluted urban rivers in China. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 946:174118. [PMID: 38925373 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
An overload of labile organic matter triggers the water blackening and odorization in urban rivers, leading to a unique microbiome driving biogeochemical cycles in these anoxic habitats. Among the key players in these environments, cable bacteria interfere directly with C/N/S/O cycling, and are closely associated with phylogenetically diverse microorganisms in anoxic sediment as an electron conduit to mediate long-distance electron transport from deep-anoxic-layer sulfide to oxic-layer oxygen. Despite their hypothesized importance in black-odorous urban rivers, the spatial distribution patterns and roles of cable bacteria in large-scale polluted urban rivers remain inadequately understood. This study examined the diversity and spatial distribution pattern of cable bacteria in sediment samples from 186 black-odorous urban rivers across China. Results revealed the co-existence of two well-characterized cable bacteria (i.e., Candidatus Electrothrix and Candidatus Electronema), with Candidatus Electrothrix exhibiting a comparatively wider distribution in the polluted urban rivers. Concentrations of DOC, SS, sulfate, nitrate, and heavy metals (e.g., Ni and Cr) were correlated with the cable bacteria diversity, indicating their essential role in biogeochemical cycles. The activation energy of cable bacteria was 0.624 eV, close to the canonical 0.65 eV. Furthermore, cable bacteria were identified as key connectors and module hubs, closely associated with denitrifiers, sulfate-reducing bacteria, methanogens and alkane degraders, highlighting their role as keystone functional lineages in the contaminated urban rivers. Our study provided the first large-scale and comprehensive insight into the cable bacteria diversity, spatial distribution, and their essential function as keystone species in organic-matter-polluted urban rivers.

Metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons pollutants in industrial parks under valley landforms in Tibetan Plateau: Spatial pattern, ecological risk and interaction with soil microorganisms. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134411. [PMID: 38677117 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134411] [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: 01/13/2024] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
The spatial patterns of pollutants produced by industrial parks are affected by many factors, but the interactions among polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals, and soil microorganisms in the valley landforms of the Tibetan Plateau are poorly understood. Thus, this study systematically investigated the distribution and pollution of metals and PAHs in soil around an industrial park in the typical valley landform of the Tibetan Plateau and analyzed and clarified the interaction among metals, PAHs, and microorganisms. The results were as follows: metal and PAH concentrations were affected by wind direction, especially WN-ES and S-N winds; Cd (2.86-54.64 mg·kg-1) had the highest soil concentrations of the metals screened, followed by variable concentrations of Cu, Pb, and Zn; the pollution levels of metals and PAHs in the S-N wind direction were lower than those in the WN-ES wind direction; the Cd content of Avena sativa in the agricultural soil around the factory exceeded its enrichment ability and food safety standards; the closer to the center of the park, the higher the ecological risk of PAHs; and the TEQ and MEQ values of the PAHs were consistent with their concentration distributions. The results of the soil microbial diversity and co-occurrence network in the dominant wind direction showed that metal and PAH pollution weakened the robustness of soil microbial communities. Additionally, the diversity and robustness of soil microbial communities at the S wind site were higher than those at the ES wind site, which might be attributed to the lower metal content of the former than the latter, which plays a negative role in the biodegradation of PAHs. The results of this study provide insights into the site selection, pollutant supervision, and environmental remediation of industrial parks in typical landforms.

Abstract
The dangerous chemical elements associated with nanoparticles (NPs) and ultra-fine sediment particles in hydrological bays have the capacity to move contaminants to large oceanic regions. The general objective of this study is to quantify the major chemical elements present in NPs and ultra-fine particles in aquatic sediments sampled from Guanabara Bay and compare these data to values determined through spectral optics using the Sentinel-3B Satellite OLCI (Ocean Land Color Instrument) during the winter and summer seasons of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. This is done to highlight the impacts anthropogenic environmental hazards have on the marine ecosystem and human beings. Ten aquatic sediment field collection points were selected by triangulated irregular network (TIN). Samples were subjected to analysis by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which enabled a detailed analysis using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Geospatial analyses using Sentinel-3B OLCI Satellite images considered Water Full Resolution (WFR) at 300 m resolution, in neural network (NN), normalized at 0.83 µg/mg. A maximum average spectral error of 6.62% was utilized for the identification of the levels of Absorption Coefficient of Detritus and Gelbstoff (ADG443_NN) at 443 m-1, Chlorophyll-a (CHL_NN) (m-3), and Total Suspended Matter (TSM_NN) (g m-3) at 581 sample points. The results showed high levels of ADG443_NN, with average values as high as of 4444 m-1 (summer 2021). When related to the analyses of nanoparticulate sediments and ultrafine particles collected in the field, they showed the presence of major chemical elements such as Ge, As, Cr, and others, highly toxic to human health and the aquatic environment. The application of satellite and terrestrial surveys proved to be efficient, in addition to the possibility of this study being applied to other hydrological systems on a global scale.

Abstract
Zoogloea sp. MFQ7 achieved excellent denitrification of 91.71% at ferrous to manganous ratio (Fe/Mn) of 3:7, pH of 6.5, nitrate concentration of 25 mg L-1 and carbon to nitrogen ratio of 1.5. As the Fe/Mn ratio increasd, the efficiency of nitrate removal gradually decreased, indicating that strain MFQ7 had a higher affinity for Mn2+ than Fe2+. In situ generated biogenic Fe-Mn oxides (BFMO) contained many iron-manganese oxides (MnO2, Mn3O4, FeO(OH), Fe2O3, and Fe3O4) as well as reactive functional groups, which play an significant part in tetracycline (TC) and cadmium (Cd2+) adsorption. The adsorption of TC and Cd2+ by BFMO can better fit the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models. In addition, multiple characterization results of before and after adsorption indicated that the removal mechanism of BFMO on TC and Cd2+ was probably surface complexation adsorption and redox reactions.

WATER RESEARCH 2024; 253:121288.

Abstract
The common use of peroxides in the remediation of malodorous black water may lead to the activation of heavy metals in sediment when eliminating black and odorous substances. The mechanisms of heavy metal interactions with dissolved organic matter (DOM) in response to in situ capping have not been elucidated, but this information could guide the optimization of capping materials. We developed a capping material consisting of hydrothermally carbonized sediment (HCS), hydrated magnesium carbonate (HMC) and sodium percarbonate (SPC) and used microcosm experiments to investigate the dynamics of Mn and Cu at the sediment-water interface in malodorous black water. The results showed that HCS, HMC and SPC contributed multiple functions of mechanical protection, chemical isolation and oxygen provision to the new caps. HMC promoted the conversion of Mn/Cu into carbonate minerals. The optimal mass proportions were 25 % HCS, 60 % HMC and 15 % SPC based on the mixture design. In situ capping altered the fate and transformation of metals in the sediment-overlying water profile in the short term through Mn immobilization and Cu activation. The complexation of Cu(II) ions was significantly stronger than that of Mn(II) ions. In situ capping had a significant effect on the order of complexation of different fluorescent DOM molecules with Mn(II)/Cu(II) ions: microbial byproducts and fulvic acid-like components were preferentially complexed with Cu(II) ions after capping, while phenolic and humic acid-like components preferentially interacted with Mn(II) ions. Humic-like components bound to Cu were affected the most by capping treatment, whereas protein-like components were relatively weakly affected. Our study provides valuable knowledge on the impact of in situ capping on DOM-metal complexes.

Abstract
The microorganisms in sediments play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycle processes, and numerous studies have shown that microbial community is closely related to environmental factors. However, the usability of sediment microorganisms to evaluate the eco-environment quality of rural rivers has not been adequately explored. This study investigated the distribution characteristics and response of sediment microorganisms to environmental parameters and benthic organisms. Based on the environmental parameters and benthic community indices, the 12 stations were divided into high-polluted group A, moderate-polluted group B and low-polluted group C. Station DG01 and DG02 in group A had the highest level of As and Ni pollution and nutrient concentration, and DG09 in group A had the lowest benthic diversity. Correspondingly, group A had the lowest abundance of Proteobacteria, which has a higher requirement for the environment than Planctomycetes. Group B had the highest sulfide level (97.45 mg/kg), and bacteria (Thiobacillus, Sulfurisoma and Sulfuritalea) with genes involved in sulfur cycling were more enriched in this group. Group C had the lowest level of total nitrogen (243.36 mg/kg), and Rhodanobacteraceae in Xanthomonadales might be a key bioindicator for low nitrogen. In addition, Chlorophyta was found to be more susceptible to heavy metals, and moreover co-occurrence networks showed that microeukaryotes were more sensitive to heavy metal pollution compared to benthic animals and prokaryotes. Therefore, this study suggested that benthic microorganisms especially microeukaryotes could be used as good indicators for evaluating the eco-environmental quality of rural rivers.

Abstract
With the development of the economy, the problem of urban black odorous water bodies has become increasingly significant, having a serious impact on the environment. As important means of remediating aquatic environments, pollution source control and water replenishment are of great significance in improving water quality. This study takes the Qianshan River Basin in Zhuhai City as its study area to simulate their effects on the improvement of water quality. A coupled model of water quantity and quality in Qianshan River Basin was constructed using MIKE11to analyze the water quality compliance rate, with sewage interception rates of 85%, 90%, and 95%, and to investigate the effect of pollution source control on the improvement of the aquatic environment. Using different sewage interception rates, the amount of water replenishment was calculated in order to meet water quality standards, the water replenishment scheme was determined via river-specific and time-specific methods, and the model was used to analyze the replenishment effect of the scheme. The results show that increasing the sewage interception rate can significantly improve the COD compliance rate, and improve the NH3-N and TP compliance rate; however, the enhancement effect is not sufficiently significant. When a sewage interception rate of 95% is implemented, there are still five rivers with a low NH3-N compliance rate, and six rivers with low a TP compliance rate. Comparing the water replenishment effect under different sewage interception rates of 85% and 95%, the water replenishment program alongside a sewage interception rate of 95% can effectively improve the aquatic environment and the water quality essentially meets the standard under different rainfall conditions; this demonstrates that the program presented herein can be used as the aquatic environment remediation program of choice for the Qianshan River Basin.

Abstract
Based on the current situation of complex pollution caused in surface water by oligotrophic condition and heavy metal release from river and lake bottom sediments. This study aimed to achieve the simultaneous removal of nitrate, phosphorus, Zn2+ and Pb2+ through microbial approach. At nitrate concentration of 4.82 mg L-1, carbon to nitrogen ratio of 1.5, pH of 6.0, and Fe2+ concentration of 5.0 mg L-1, the nitrate removal efficiency of Zoogloea sp. FY-6 reached 95.17%. The addition of pollutants under these conditions resulted in 88.76% removal of total phosphorus at 18 h, and 85.46 and 78.59% removal of Zn2+ and Pb2+ respectively, and there was competition for adsorption between Zn2+ and Pb2+. Extracellular polymers and fluorescence excitation-emission substrates confirmed that Fe2+ reduced heavy metal toxicity through promoting bacterial production of secretions and promotes denitrification as a carbon source. Meanwhile, contaminant removal curves and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated the synchronous removal of Zn2+ and Pb2+ mainly through biological action and the formation of nanoscale iron oxides. Biological-iron precipitation also provided adsorption sites for phosphorus. This research provides the theoretical foundation for applying microorganisms to restore oligotrophic source water (rivers and lakes) containing complex pollutants.

Abstract
The toxic heavy metal lead is widely found in rivers and soils as an environmental pollutant, posing a threat to the health of aquatic organisms. Selenium is an essential trace element and a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well as alleviating heavy metal poisoning. Many studies have shown that lead poisoning produces inflammatory responses and damage to the kidneys of a wide range of animals, but the effects on cellular pyroptosis and immune function and selenium antagonism in CIK cells are not clear. In this study, 500 μM Pb and 20 nM Se were applied to grass carp kidney cells, and the results showed that Pb exposure to CIK cells resulted in oxidative stress, activation of the IRAK1/TAK1/IKK pathway, up-regulation of the expression of cellular pyroptosis markers GSDMD and NLRP3, and cellular pyroptosis of CIK cells, as well as up-regulation of IL-1β and IL-18, and the generation of cellular inflammatory response. In contrast, Se treatment significantly reduced the ROS level, the expression of cellular pyroptosis markers GSDMD, NLRP3 and inflammatory element IL-1β and IL-18. Taken together, Se alleviated cellular pyroptosis and immune dysfunction caused by Pb exposure through oxidative stress and activation of the IRAK1/TAK1/IKK pathway. This study complements the harmful effects of the heavy metal Pb on fish and the real-life application of selenium in the healthy culture of fish as a reference will be provided.
