Abstract
Controlled environments are pivotal in all bioconversion processes, influencing the efficacy of biocatalysts. In this study, we designed a batch bioreactor system with a packed immobilization column and a decontamination chamber to enhance phenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol degradation using the hyper-tolerant bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa STV1713. When free cells were employed to degrade phenol and 2,4-DCP at a concentration of 1000 mg/L, the cells completely removed the pollutants within 28 h and 66 h, respectively. Simultaneous reductions in chemical oxygen demand and biological oxygen demand were observed (phenol: 30.21 mg/L/h and 16.92 mg/L/h, respectively; 2,4-dichlorophenol: 12.85 mg/L/h and 7.21 mg/L/h, respectively). After assessing the degradation capabilities, the bacterium was immobilized on various matrices (sodium alginate, alginate-chitosan-alginate and polyvinyl alcohol-alginate) to enhance pollutant removal. Hybrid immobilized cells exhibited greater tolerance and degradation capabilities than those immobilized in a single matrix. Among them, polyvinyl alcohol-alginate immobilized cells displayed the highest degradation capacities (up to 2000 mg/L for phenol and 2500 mg/L for 2,4-dichlorophenol). Morphological analysis of the immobilized cells revealed enhanced cell preservation in hybrid matrices. Furthermore, the elucidation of the metabolic pathway through the catechol dioxygenase enzyme assay indicated higher activity of the catechol 1,2-dioxygenase enzyme, suggesting that the bacterium employed an ortho-degradation mechanism for pollutant removal. Additionally, enzyme zymography confirmed the presence of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase, with the molecular weight of the enzyme determined as 245 kDa.

Feng L, Liu B, Yao J, Li M, Zhu J, Zhao Y, Wu Y. Extracellular bioreduction is the main Cr(VI) detoxification strategy of Bacillus sp. HL1. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 358:120870. [PMID: 38640757 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120870] [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: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Bacterium with high Cr(VI) detoxification capability belonged to the genus Bacillus have been largely explored, yet their reduction strategies are still in debate. Cr(VI) removal performance and mechanism of Bacillus sp. HL1 isolated from tailings a site was comprehensively investigated in this study. Approximately 88.31% of 100 mg/L Cr(VI) was continuously removed within 72 h, while it could resist up to 300 mg/L Cr(VI). Metal ions Mn2+ and Cu2+ could effectively improve the Cr(VI) removal performance to 14.41% and 3.41% under the optimal conditions, respectively. Cr(VI) removal performances by subcellular extracts showed that nearly 45.28% of 100 mg/L extracellular Cr(VI) was efficaciously reduced to Cr(III), while only 14.27%, 6.40%, and 2.73% of the cell-free extract, resting cells, and cell debris were reduced, respectively. This suggested that extracellular bioreduction was the primary Cr(VI) detoxification strategy despite a small part of Cr(VI) reduction took place intracellularly. In particular, the reduction products of the intracellular and extracellular compounds significantly differed, with organo-Cr(III) complex outside the cell and crystalline Cr(III) precipitate inside. Such observation was also evidenced by the intracellular black precipitate observed in the TEM image. XRD, XPS, and EPR analysis showed different Cr(III) compositions of intracellular and extracellular products. This study deepens our insights into the different fates of microorganisms that reduce Cr(VI) intracellularly and extracellularly.

Vanzetto GV, Thomé A. Toxicity of nZVI in the growth of bacteria present in contaminated soil. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 303:135002. [PMID: 35597456 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The use of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) for the remediation of degraded areas is a consolidated practice. However, the long-term reactions that occur in the environment remain unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the potential toxic effects on the growth of colony-forming units (CFUs) of Bacillus cereus and Pseudomona aeruginosa present in soil contaminated with hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) and pentachlorophenol (PCP) nanoremediated with nZVI. The treatments were natural soil (control), soil contaminated by Cr6+, soil contaminated by PCP, and soil contaminated by Cr6+ and PCP (Cr6+ and PCP), all in duplicate. The concentration of contaminants used was 100 mg/kg of soil. One of the drums of the duplicate received an injection of nZVI solution with a concentration of 50 g/kg. Analysis was performed 7, 15, 21, 30, 60, and 90 days after the nZVI injection. Temporary oscillations in the abundance of the microbiological community were observed, characterizing the adaptation of bacteria to the contaminants. The bacteria showed similar behavior. Ninety days after the injection of nZVI, the averages of the CFUs were statistically equal, with the lowest coefficient of variation and the highest concentration of CFUs occurring. The strains of B. cereus and P. aeruginosa were resistant to the concentrations of nZVI, Cr6+, and PCP. The nanoremediation of nZVI in soil contaminated by Cr6+ and PCP had no toxic effects on the population of the bacteria evaluated and did not present major disturbances in temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, and humidity over time.

Biotreatment potential of co-contaminants hexavalent chromium and polychlorinated biphenyls in industrial wastewater: Individual and simultaneous prospects. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 779:146345. [PMID: 33752007 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.146345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Revised: 02/21/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Co-existence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in the environment due to effluent from industries has aggravated the pollution problem. Both contaminants can alter chemical interactions, processes and impair enzymatic activities in the ecosystem that results in negative impacts on aquatic and terrestrial life. Previously, research has been performed for the fate and transfer of these contaminants individually, but simultaneous removal approaches have not received much attention. Cr(VI) exists in a highly toxic form in the environment once released, whereas location of chlorine atoms in the ring determines PCBs toxicity. Lower chlorinated compounds are easily degradable whereas as high chlorinated compounds require sequential strategy for transformation. Microorganisms can develop different mechanism to detoxify both pollutants. However, occurrence of multiple contaminants in single system can alter the bioremediation efficiency of bacteria. Use of metal resistance bacterial for the degradation of organic compounds has been widely used bioaugmentation strategy. Along with that use of sorbents/bio sorbents, biosurfactants and phytoremediation approaches have already been well reported. Bioremediation strategy with dual potential to detoxify the Cr(VI) and PCBs would be a probable option for simultaneous biotreatment. Application of bioreactors and biofilms covered organic particles can be utilized as efficient bioaugmentation approach. In this review, biotreatment systems and bacterial oxidative and reductive enzymes/processes are explained and possible biotransformation pathway has been purposed for bioremediation of co-contaminated waters.

Abstract
Bioremediation of Cr(VI) contamination using microorganisms is a promising method for reducing its environmental risks. The objective of this study was to clarify Cr(VI) removal by Penicillium oxalicum SL2 in terms of indirect Cr(VI) reduction by metabolites, interaction sites, and form transformation of chromium. Strain SL2 could sequentially remove Cr(VI) in the bioreactor. Oxalic acid produced by the fungus contributed to Cr(VI) reduction. Scanning transmissiony X-ray microscop (STXM) analysis suggested strain SL2 could partly reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) in the cell. Amine, carboxyl, and phosphate groups were related to Cr(VI) removal. Chromium K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis implied Cr(III)-Cys potentially acted as an intermediate for the formation of chromium oxalate complexes during the process of treatment. This study would support the application of strain SL2 in Cr(VI) bioremediation and expand knowledge on the interaction of chromium with fungus.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to ascertain the effects of Pb(II) and Cr(VI) on bacterial growth, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT), as well as the localization of bioaccumulated heavy metals in a phosphate-solubilizing bacterium. The results showed that the ROS increased from 1.4-fold to 1.8-fold of control under Pb(II) stress and decreased from 1.6-fold to 1.1-fold of control under Cr(VI) stress corresponding to metal concentrations (0.5–5 mmol·L−1). The SOD activities were ROS dependent; however, the CAT activities increased under both Pb(II) and Cr(VI) stress, from 11.4 to 21.8 U·mg−1 and 11.4 to 32.9 U·mg−1, respectively. Intra/extracellular accumulation were investigated by scanning transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDS) and it was calculated that extracellular accumulated Pb accounted for 61.7–95.9% of the total accumulation, while extracellular accumulated Cr only accounted for up to 3.6% of the total accumulation. Attenuated total reflection/Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analysis confirmed that the functional groups involved in those extracellular accumulation were not located in the loosely bound extracellular polysaccharides substances.

Abstract
Excessive industrialization and anthropogenic activities have resulted in widespread prevalence of heavy metals including hexavalent chromium in the environment. In addition to toxic properties, Cr(VI) possesses high stability and mobility, which in total makes it included in the list of priority heavy metals; thus it needs to be managed urgently. Among different methods available for remediation of Cr(VI), bioremediation is considered as one of the sustainable methods which could effectively be utilized for controlling Cr(VI) pollution. In this aspect, the treatment of Cr(VI)-containing wastewater originating from industries is noteworthy. The present review thus is an attempt to present a systematic overview dealing with studies on remediation of hexavalent chromium by using microorganisms and their application in treatment of Cr(VI)-containing industrial wastewaters. Various factors affecting the Cr(VI) removal and methods to enhance the bio-treatment are highlighted, which might act as a basis for researchers developing Cr(VI) bioremediation techniques.

Abstract
The presence of chromium in soils not only affects the physiological processes of plants but also the microbial rhizosphere composition and metabolic activities of microorganisms. Hence, the inoculation of plants with Cr(VI)-tolerant rhizospheric microorganisms as an alternative to reduce Cr phytotoxicity was studied. In this work, chickpea germination was reduced by Cr(VI) concentrations of 150 and 250 mg/L (6 and 33%, respectively); however lower Cr(VI) concentrations negatively affected the biomass. On the other hand, its symbiont, Mesorhizobium ciceri, was able to grow and remove different Cr(VI) concentrations (5-20 mg/L). The inoculation of chickpea plants with this strain exposed to Cr(VI) showed a significantly enhanced plant growth. In addition, inoculated plants accumulated higher Cr concentration in roots than those noninoculated. It is important to note that Cr was not translocated to shoots independently of inoculation. These results suggest that Mesorhizobium's capability to remove Cr(VI) could be exploited for bioremediation. Moreover, chickpea plants would represent a natural system for phytoremediation or phytostabilization of Cr in situ that could be improved with M. ciceri inoculation. This strategy would be considered as a phytoremediation tool with great economic and ecological relevance.

Abstract
Se realizó el aislamiento de microorganismos cultivables a partir de la biopelícula formada sobre el ánodo de una celda de combustible microbiana puesta en operación durante 30 días; los microorganismos aislados fueron evaluados en su capacidad de producir energía en celdas de combustible microbianas y de reducir el cromo hexavalente, Cr (VI). Se aislaron cinco microorganismos, los cuales fueron caracterizados mediante análisis del gen del ARNr 16S, el cual ubicó a los microorganismos en cuatro géneros bacterianos: Exiguobacterium (CrMFC1), Acinetobacter (CrMFC2), Aeromonas (CrMFC3 y CrMFC5), y Serratia (CrMFC4). Todas las cepas aisladas mostraron actividad electrogénica y capacidad para reducir cromo hexavalente; la cepa de Acinetobacter CrMFC2 mostró el mejor desempeño electroquímico al registrar una densidad de potencia máxima de 18,61 mW/m2; las demás cepas mostraron valores de densidad de potencia máxima entre 4,6 mW/m2 y 7.1 mW/m2. Las cepas de Aeromonas CrMFC5 y Exiguobacterium CrMFC1 mostraron las mejores tasas de reducción de cromo al ser capaces de reducir el 100% del Cr (VI) en menos de 24 horas, destacándose la cepa de Aeromonas CrMFC5 la cual redujo el 100 % de Cr (VI) en 10 horas; las demás cepas redujeron el 100 % del contaminante al cabo de 28 a 30 horas. Los microorganismos aislados en este estudio son escasamente conocidos por su capacidad electrogénica y de reducir el Cr (VI); no obstante, se muestran promisorios para su utilización en sistemas mixtos que involucren la producción de energía acoplada a sistema de biorremediación de aguas contaminadas con cromo.

Abstract
A microbial treatment of Cr6+ contaminated wastewater with a chromium reducing bacteria isolated from coal mine area was investigated. In a series of batch study metal removal was executed under different parametric conditions which include pH (2-7), temperature (20-50 °C), initial Cr6+ concentration (1-100 mg/L), substrate utilization and its overall effect on biomass generation. Impact of oxygen availability was checked at different agitation speed and its role on the remedial process. Liquid phase reduction of Cr6+ was measured in terms of substrate reduction and total biomass yield. The bacterium species isolated was able to tolerate Cr6+ over a wide range from 1 to 100 mg/L before it reached minimum inhibition concentration. Apart from Cr6+, the bacterial isolate showed tolerance towards Fe, As, Cu, Ag, Zn, Mn, Mg and Pb. Removal mechanism adopted by the bacterium recommended that it employed accumulation of Cr6+ as Cr3+ both within and outside the cell. Classical Monod equation was used to determine the biokinetics of the bacterial isolate along with the interference of metal ion concentration and substrate utilization. Cr6+ removal was found prominent even in bimetallic solutions. The bacterial isolate was confirmed to be Rhodococcus erythopolis by 16s rRNA molecular characterization. Thus the bacterial isolate obtained from the coal mine area proved to be a potential agent for microbial remediation of Cr6+ laden waste water.

Abstract
Simultaneous Cr(VI) removal and 2,2',4,4'-tetra brominated diphenyl ether (BDE-47) biodegradation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in liquid medium were investigated in this study, with the goal of elucidating the interaction between concomitant pollutants Cr(VI) and BDE-47 during microbial remediation. The experimental results revealed that the degradation efficiency of 1 mg L(-1) BDE-47 by 60 mg L(-1) biomass achieved 51.3% within 7 d when 2 mg L(-1) Cr(VI) coexisted. The degradation efficiency was accelerated at low concentrations of Cr(VI) (≤5 mg L(-1)), but inhibited at higher levels (≥10 mg L(-1)). Cr(VI) of 2 mg L(-1) facilitated the secretion of rhamnolipid from the strain, altered cell surface hydrophobicity and cell membrane permeability, and promoted intracellular BDE-47 accumulation, thus improving BDE-47 biotransformation. In addition, the stimulation of intracellular enzyme synthesis by 2 mg L(-1) Cr(VI) contributed to more BDE-47 elimination in the cells. The achievement of BDE-47 biodegradation was coupled with cell growth, enzyme extraction, cell membrane permeability change, and ATPase activity increase. The study also indicated that the improvement of Cr(VI) removal in BDE-47/Cr(VI) co-contaminated condition was mostly due to the increasing synthesis of extracellular enzyme in the presence of low concentrations of BDE-47. The whole study demonstrated that P. aeruginosa was available for the removal of toxic Cr(VI) and degradation of BDE-47 simultaneously in the liquid.

Abstract
Chromium has been and is extensively used worldwide in multiple industrial processes and is routinely discharged to the environment from such processes. Therefore, this heavy metal is a potential threat to the environment and to public health, primarily because it is non-biodegradable and environmentally persistent. Chromium exists in several oxidation states, the most stable of which are trivalent Cr(Ill) and hexavalent Cr(VI) species. Each species possesses its own individual chemical characteristics and produces its own biological effects. For example, Cr (Ill) is an essential oligoelement for humans, whereas Cr(VI) is carcinogenic and mutagenic. Several chemical methods are used to remove Cr(VI) from contaminated sites. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages. Currently, bioremediation is often the preferred method to deal with Cr contaminated sites, because it is eco-friendly, cost-effective and is a "natural" technology. Many yeast, bacterial and fungal species have been assessed for their suitability to reduce or remove Cr(VI) contamination. The mechanisms by which these microorganisms resist and reduce Cr(VI) are variable and are species dependent. There are several Cr-resistance mechanisms that are displayed by microorganisms. These include active efflux of Cr compounds, metabolic reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr (ill), and either intercellular or extracellular prec1p1tation. Microbial Cr (VI) removal typically involves three stages: binding of chromium to the cell surface, translocation of chromium into the cell, and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr (ill). Cr(VI) reduction by microorganisms may proceed on the cell surface, outside the cell, or intracellularly, either directly via chromate reductase enzymes, or indirectly via metabolite reduction of Cr(VI). The uptake of chromium ions is a biphasic process. The primary step is known as biosorption, a metabolic energyindependent process. Thereafter, bioaccumulation occurs, but is much slower, and is dependent on cell metabolic activity. Choosing an appropriate bioremediation strategy for Cr is extremely important and must involve investigating and understanding the key mechanisms that are involved in microbial resistance to and removal of Cr(VI).

Abstract
A native Bacillus cereus isolate has been employed, for the first time, for simultaneous decolorization, dechlorination of chloroorganics, and Cr(6+) remediation from the real tannery effluent. Most of the physicochemical variables in 3:1 diluted effluent were well above the standard prescribed limits, which decreased substantially upon microbial treatment. The extent of bioremediation was better in diluted (3:1) as compared to undiluted effluent supplemented with nutrients and augmented with B. cereus isolate. Maximum growth, effluent decolorization (42.5 %), dechlorination (74.1 %), and Cr(6+) remediation (34.2 %) were attained with 4.0 % (v/v) inoculum, 0.8 % glucose, and 0.2 % ammonium chloride in 3:1 diluted effluent at natural pH (8.1) within 72 h of incubation. The efficiency of bioremediation in a bioreactor was higher as compared to a flask trial during 72 h of incubation: decolorization (47.9 %) was enhanced by 5.4 %, dechlorination (77.4 %) by 3.3 %, and Cr(6+) removal (41.7 %) by 7.5 % at an initial color of 286 Pt-Co units and initial concentration of 62 mg chloride ions and 108 mg l(-1) Cr(6+). Immobilized biomass of Pseudomonas putida and B. cereus coculture enhanced the extent of Cr(6+) remediation (51.9 %) by 10.2 % compared to the bioreactor trial. Chromate reductase activity and reduced Cr directly correlated and were mainly associated with soluble fraction of B. cereus plus effluent natural microflora. The GC-MS analyses revealed the formation of metabolites such as acetic acid and 2-butenoic acid in bacterially treated effluent. The supplementation of nutrients along with B. cereus augmentation is required for efficient effluent bioremediation.
