Bioaccumulation efficacy and physio-morphological adaptations in response to iron and aluminium contamination of Indian camphorweed (Pluchea indica L.) using different growth substrates. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:23623-23637. [PMID: 38418794 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-32686-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the removal capability of Fe/Al contamination of Indian camphorweed (Pluchea indica; hereafter, P. indica) using different growth substrates (100% sand, gardening soil, vermiculite, and zeolite). In addition, the study aimed at observing the physio-morphological adaptation strategies of P. indica under excess Fe/Al levels in a controlled greenhouse environment. After a 4-week treatment, P. indica plants under excess Fe in the 100% sand substrate exhibited signs of decay and eventually death. In contrast, the growth performances of P. indica under gardening soil substrate remained sustained even when exposed to Fe/Al stress. Under zeolite substrate, Fe in the root tissues was 23.1 and 34.7 mg g-1 DW after 1 and 4 weeks of incubation, respectively. In addition, Al in the root tissues also increased to 1.54 mg g-1 DW after 1 week and 1.59 mg g-1 DW after 4 weeks, when subjected to 20 mM Al treatment. Zeolite was observed to be a promising substrate to regulate the uptake of Fe (3.31 mg plant-1) and Al (0.51 mg plant-1) by the root tissues. The restriction of Fe and Al in the root and a low translocation to the leaf organ was indicated by a low translocation factor (< 1.0). High Fe concentrations in the root and leaf tissues negatively affected root elongation, and the net photosynthetic rate decreased by > 40% compared to positive control. Gas exchange parameters and leaf temperature were found the most sensitive to Fe/Al stress. Moreover, the limited transpiration rate under Fe/Al stress caused an increase of the leaf temperature and crop stress index. The findings suggest that P. indica grown using zeolite substrate may serve as a good model system for constructed wetlands, storing excess Al in the root tissues without any significant growth inhibition.

Phytostabilization of metal(loid)s by ten emergent macrophytes following a 90-day exposure to industrially contaminated groundwater. N Biotechnol 2024; 79:50-59. [PMID: 38128697 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbt.2023.12.003] [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: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Better understanding of macrophyte tolerance under long exposure times in real environmental matrices is crucial for phytoremediation and phytoattenuation strategies for aquatic systems. The metal(loid) attenuation ability of 10 emergent macrophyte species (Carex riparia, Cyperus longus, Cyperus rotundus, Iris pseudacorus, Juncus effusus, Lythrum salicaria, Menta aquatica, Phragmites australis, Scirpus holoschoenus, and Typha angustifolia) was investigated using real groundwater from an industrial site, over a 90-day exposure period. A "phytobial" treatment was included, with 3 plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial strains. Plants exposed to the polluted water generally showed similar or reduced aerial biomass compared to the controls, except for C. riparia. This species, along with M. aquatica, exhibited improved biomass after bioaugmentation. Phytoremediation mechanisms accounted for more than 60% of As, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb removal, whilst abiotic mechanisms contributed to ∼80% removal of Fe and Zn. Concentrations of metal(loid)s in the roots were generally between 10-100 times higher than in the aerial parts. The macrophytes in this work can be considered "underground attenuators", more appropriate for rhizostabilization strategies, especially L. salicaria, M. aquatica, S. holoschoenus, and T. angustifolia. For I. pseudacorus, C. longus, and C. riparia; harvesting the aerial parts could be a complementary phytoextraction approach to further remove Pb and Zn. Of all the plants, S. holoschoenus showed the best balance between biomass production and uptake of multiple metal(loid)s. Results also suggest that multiple phytostrategies may be possible for the same plant depending on the final remedial aim. Phytobial approaches need to be further assessed for each macrophyte species.

Abstract
Growing human population and climate change are leading reasons for water quality deterioration globally; and ecologically important waterbodies including freshwater wetlands are in a vulnerable state due to increasing concentrations of pollutants like heavy metals. Given the declining health of these valuable resources, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of natural floating island in the form of fish aggregating devices (FADs) made of native weed mass on the distribution of heavy metals in the abiotic and bio compartments of a freshwater wetland. Lower concentrations of surface water heavy metals were observed inside the FADs with a reduction of 73.91%, 65.22% and 40.57-49.16% for Cd, Pb and other metals (viz. Co, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn), respectively as compared to outside FAD. These led to 14.72-55.39% reduction in the heavy metal pollution indices inside the FAD surface water. The fish species inside the FADs were also found less contaminated (24.07-25.07% reduction) with lower health risk indices. The study signifies the valuable contribution of natural floating island as FADs in ameliorating the effect of heavy metals pollution emphasizing the tremendous role of the natural floating islands in sustainable maintenance of freshwater wetlands for better human health and livelihood.

Abstract
Anthropogenic toxins are discharged into the environment and distributed through a variety of environmental matrices. Trace contaminant detection and analysis has advanced dramatically in recent decades, necessitating further specialized technique development. These pollutants can be mobile and persistent in small amounts in the environment, and ecological receptors will interact with it. Despite the fact that few researches have been undertaken on invertebrate exposure, accumulation, and biological implications, it is apparent that a wide range of pollutants can accumulate in the tissues of aquatic insects, earthworms, amphipod crustaceans, and mollusks. Due to long-term stability during long-distance transit, a number of chemical and microbiological agents that were not previously deemed pollutants have been found in various environmental compartments. The uptake of such pollutants by the aquatic organism is done through the process of bioaccumulation when dangerous compounds accumulate in living beings while biomagnification is the process of a pollutant becoming more hazardous as it moves up the trophic chain. Organic and metal pollution harms animals of every species studied so far, from bacteria to phyla in between. The environmental protection agency says these poisons harm humans as well as a variety of aquatic organisms when the water quality is sacrificed in typical wastewater treatment systems. Contrary to popular belief, treated effluents discharged into aquatic bodies contain considerable levels of Anthropogenic contaminants. This evolution necessitates a more robust and recent advancement in the field of remediation and their techniques to completely discharge the various organic and inorganic contaminants.

Abstract
Pistia stratiotes can not only effectively remediate eutrophic water, but also displays strong absorption and bioaccumulation abilities for heavy metals. However, it has not been well-understood how the plant resists the combined stress of heavy metals. In these experiments, the morphophysiological traits, the ascorbate-glutathione (AsA-GSH) cycle, the glyoxalase system, and the contents of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) were investigated under Zn and Cd co-pollution. The AsA-GSH cycle and glyoxalase system could coordinately alleviate the oxidative and carbonyl stress, which was identified as an important tolerance mechanism. With Zn50Cd1, Zn50Cd10, Zn100Cd1, and Zn100Cd10 treatments for 18 days, 90.75-93.69% of Zn and 88.13-96.96% Cd accumulated in the roots. Treatments with Zn50Cd50, and Zn100Cd50 for 18 days resulted in a decrease of stress tolerance and chlorophyll content in leaves, an increase in plasma membrane permeability, a massive accumulation of methylglyoxal (MG), and visible toxic symptoms. Additionally, the bioaccumulation factor (BCF) for roots and shoots and the translocation factor (TF) were >1, and the content of Cd in shoots was no <100 mg·kg-1. This indicated P. stratiotes was a Cd hyperaccumulator and have great potential for the phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated water.Novelty statement Pistia stratiotes, a cadmium hyperaccumulator, has great application potential for the phytoremediation of zinc and cadmium co-polluted water.
