Anaerobic biotransformation of hexachlorocyclohexane isomers in aqueous condition: Dual CCl isotope fractionation and impact on microbial community compositions. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 254:121389. [PMID: 38492479 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121389] [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: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with high toxicity, lipid solubility, chemical stability. Despite the current ban on usage of Lindane, residual contamination cannot be ignored, and HCH are frequently detected in groundwater and threaten human health. Cultures capable of degrading α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH, and δ-HCH individually have been enriched in anoxic aqueous conditions. Compound-Specific Isotope Analysis (CSIA) was applied to examine the transformation mechanisms of different HCH isomers by the four enrichment cultures. 16S rRNA sequencing techniques were employed to examine the community composition of the enrichment cultures and detect changes in these communities resulting from adding individual HCH isomers. The results indicated that the ability of the enrichment cultures for dichloroelimination of HCH isomers was inconsistent. During dichloroelimination, different bond cleavage mode of β- and δ-HCH led to distinct isotopic effects. HCH isomers had significant impact on the microbial community, while different microbial communities showed comparable isotopic effects during the transformation of a specific HCH isomer. In addition, bacteria in the phyla Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were proposed as the dominant dechlorinators. This study provides a novel perspective on the mode of bond cleavage during HCH dichloroelimination and the effect of HCH on microbial communities, which could potentially support the evaluation of HCH transformation by CSIA and their effects on the microecosystems of groundwater.

Kannan P, Verma I, Banerjee B, Saleena LM. Unveiling bacterial consortium for xenobiotic biodegradation from Pichavaram mangrove forest soil: a metagenomic approach. Arch Microbiol 2023; 206:27. [PMID: 38112856 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-023-03765-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Pichavaram mangrove forest was established as a wetland of International Importance by Article 2.1 in April 2022 by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, India. Even though it is a conserved site, xenobiotic agrochemical leaching on the forest land during monsoon is inevitable. These threaten the microbial diversity in the environment. Xenobiotic degradation is achieved using bacterial consortia already acclimatised to this environment. This study aims to identify the indigenous microbial consortia able to degrade xenobiotic compounds such as fluorobenzoate, furfural, and steroids. Pichavaram mangrove metagenomic dataset was obtained by shotgun sequencing of soil DNA and processed using the automated tool SqueezeMeta. Further, the DIAMOND database provided the taxonomical classification of the microbes in each contig. With reference to the KEGG database, the selected xenobiotic degradation pathways were confirmed in the dataset. Of 1,253,029 total contigs, 1332, 72 and 1262 were involved in fluorobenzoate, furfural and steroid degradation, respectively. This study identified that microbial consortia comprising Marinobacter, Methyloceanibacter and Vibrio natriegens/Gramella sp. can degrade fluorobenzoate. While Afipia, Nitrosopumilus sp., and Phototrophicus methaneseepsis favour the degradation of furfural compound. The steroid degradation pathway possessed a plethora of bacteria belonging to the phylum Proteobacteria.

Abstract
Nocardioides, a genus belonging to Actinomycetes, can endure various low-nutrient conditions. It can degrade pollutants using multiple organic materials such as carbon and nitrogen sources. The characteristics and applications of Nocardioides are described in detail in this review, with emphasis on the degradation of several hard-to-degrade pollutants by using Nocardioides, including aromatic compounds, hydrocarbons, haloalkanes, nitrogen heterocycles, and polymeric polyesters. Nocardioides has unique advantages when it comes to hard-to-degrade pollutants. Compared to other strains, Nocardioides has a significantly higher degradation rate and requires less time to break down substances. This review can be a theoretical basis for developing Nocardioides as a microbial agent with significant commercial and application potential.
