Abstract
Chromium (Cr) contamination, widely present in the environment, poses a significant threat to both ecology and human health. Microbial remediation technology has become a hot topic in the field of heavy metal remediation due to its advantages, such as environmental protection, low cost, and high efficiency. This paper focused on using various characterization and analysis methods to investigate the bioreduction effect and mechanism of microorganisms on Cr(VI) under various influencing factors. The main contents and conclusions were as follows: Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was selected as the target strain for studying its reduction of Cr(VI) at different inoculation amounts, temperatures, pH values, time intervals, etc. The results indicated that S. oneidensis MR-1 exhibited an optimal reduction effect on Cr(VI) at pH 7 and a temperature of 35 °C. Additionally, electron shuttles (ESs), including humic acid (HA) and 9,10-antraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS), were introduced into the degradation system to improve the reduction efficiency of S. oneidensis MR-1. Upon adding goethite further, S. oneidensis MR-1 significantly enhanced its reducing ability by converting Fe(III) minerals to Fe(II) and reducing Cr(VI) to Cr(III) during electron transfer.

Abstract
Due to the extensive application of chromate in industry, chromium-contaminated water has emerged as a significant hidden danger that threatens human health and the safety of the ecological environment. The reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) through microbial processes has become one of the most notable methods for remediating water polluted by chromium due to its economic efficiency and environmentally friendly nature. However, several issues persist in its practical application, such as low reduction rates, the need for additional nutrients, and challenges in solid-liquid separation. Therefore, there is a growing focus on seeking enhanced methods for Cr(VI) microbial reduction, which has become a key area of research. This review represents the initial effort to systematically classify and summarize the means of enhancing Cr(VI) microbial reduction. It categorizes the enhancement methods into two main approaches: microbial-based and multi-method combined enhancement, offering detailed explanations for their mechanisms. This research provides both inspiration and theoretical support for the practical implementation of the Cr(VI) microbial reduction method.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:113323-113334.

Abstract
Significant global efforts are currently underway to alleviate the presence of toxic metals in water bodies, aiming to encourage a sustainable environment. Nevertheless, the scientific community has yet to methodically inspect the performance and mechanisms underlying the interaction between nanomaterials and microorganisms in this context. Therefore, this study seeks to address this knowledge gap by developing a novel system that integrates nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) with chromium-reducing bacteria (CrRB) to efficiently remove Cr(VI) from water sources. The combined use of RBC600 and CrRB resulted in a Cr(VI) removal rate of 77.73%, displaying a substantial improvement of 17.61% compared to the use of CrRB alone. The efficacy of Cr(VI) elimination was observed to be affected by several factors within the system, such as the pH value, the quantity of nZVI added, the degree of CrRB inoculation, and the initial concentration of Cr(VI) at the onset of the experiment. When the pH was adjusted to 5, the complete removal of 200 mg/L Cr(VI) was achieved within 36 h. Increasing the dosage of nZVI to above 2 g/L resulted in the complete elimination of Cr(VI) from the solution within 72 h. This can be attributed to the availability of more reaction sites for the reduction of Cr(VI), facilitated by the higher nZVI dose. Additionally, the increased dose of nZVI allowed for the dissolution of more reactive Fe(II) ions. The characterization analysis, high-throughput sequencing, and fluorescence quantitative PCR results have established that CrRB and its extracellular polymer effectively reduce and complex Cr(VI). This process facilitated the dissolution of the passivated layer on the surface of nZVI, thus significantly enhancing the efficiency of nZVI in responding to Cr(VI). Additionally, the presence of nZVI created a favorable living environment for CrRB, resulting in increased richness and diversity within the CrRB community. These findings provide valuable preliminary insights into the mechanism underlying Cr(VI) elimination by the synergistic interaction between nZVI and CrRB. Therefore, this study establishes a solid theoretical foundations for the application of nano-bio synergy in the remediation of Cr(VI).

Abstract
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) faces significant challenges in Cr(VI) remediation through aggregation and passivation. This study identified a Cr(VI)-resistant filamentous fungus (Penicillium oxalicum SL2) for nZVI activation and elucidated the synergistic mechanism in chromium remediation. P. oxalicum SL2 and nZVI synergistically and effectively removed Cr(VI), mainly by extracellular nonenzymatic reduction (89.1%). P. oxalicum SL2 exhibited marked iron precipitate solubilization and Fe(II) regeneration capabilities. The existence of the Fe(II)-Cr(V)-oxalate complex (HCrFeC4O9) indicated that in addition to directly reducing Cr(VI), iron ions generated by nZVI stimulated Cr(VI) reduction by organic acids secreted by P. oxalicum SL2. RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis revealed that P. oxalicum SL2 inhibited phosphate transport channels to suppress Cr(VI) transport, facilitated iron and siderophore transport to store Fe, activated the glyoxylate cycle to survive harsh environments, and enhanced organic acid and riboflavin secretion to reduce Cr(VI). Cr(VI) exposure also stimulated the antioxidative system, promoting catalase activity and maintaining the intracellular thiol/disulfide balance. Cr(VI)/Fe(III) reductases played crucial roles in the intracellular reduction of chromium and iron, while nZVI decreased cellular oxidative stress and alleviated Cr(VI) toxicity to P. oxalicum SL2. Overall, the P. oxalicum SL2-nZVI synergistic system is a promising approach for regenerating Fe(II) while reducing Cr(VI).

Abstract
One-step removal of hexavalent chromium in a wide pH range is of great significance. In this paper, a single thiourea dioxide (TD) and two-components thiourea dioxide/ethanolamine (MEA) were used as a green reducing agent for the efficient removal of Cr(vi), respectively. The reduction of Cr(vi) and the precipitation of Cr(iii) were carried out simultaneously under this reaction system. The experimental results proved that TD was activated by amine exchange reaction with MEA. In other words, MEA promoted the generation of an active isomeride of TD by changing the equilibrium position of the reversible reaction. After adding MEA, the removal rate of Cr(vi) and total Cr could reach industrial water discharge standards in a wide pH range of 8-12. The change of pH, reduction potential and the decomposition rate of TD were investigated in the reaction processes. Meanwhile, reductive and oxidative reactive species were produced simultaneously during this reaction process. Further, oxidative reactive species (O2˙- and 1O2) were beneficial for the decomplexation of Cr(iii) complexes and the formation of Cr(iii) precipitation. The experimental results also demonstrated that TD/MEA was effective in practical industrial wastewater. Hence this reaction system has a significant industrial application prospect.

Goethite and riboflavin synergistically enhance Cr(VI) reduction by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Biodegradation 2023; 34:155-167.

Abstract
Bioreduction of Cr(VI) is cost-effective and environmentally friendly, however, the slow bioreduction rate limits its application. In this study, the potential synergistic enhancement of Cr(VI) bioreduction by shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (S. oneidensis) with goethite and riboflavin (RF) was investigated. The results showed that the S. oneidensis reaction system reduce 29.2% of 20 mg/L Cr(VI) after 42 h reaction, while the S. oneidensis/goethite/RF reaction system increased the Cr(VI) reduction rate to 87.74%. RF as an efficient electron shuttle and Fe(II) from goethite bioreduction were identified as the crucial components in Cr(VI) reduction. XPS analysis showed that the final precipitates of Cr(VI) reduction were Cr(CH3C(O)CHC(O)CH3)3 and Cr2O3 and adhered to the bacterial cell surface. In this process, the microbial surface functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups participated in the adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI). Meanwhile, an increase in cytochrome c led to an increase in electron transfer system activity (ETSA), causing a significant enhancement in extracellular electron transfer efficiency. This study provides insight into the mechanism of Cr(VI) reduction in a complex environment where microorganisms, iron minerals and RF coexist, and the synergistic treatment method of Fe(III) minerals and RF has great potential application for Cr(VI) detoxification in aqueous environment.

Abstract
1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) is a typical organochloride solvent in groundwater that poses threats to human health and the environment due to its carcinogenesis and bioaccumulation. In this study, a novel composite with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) supported by polycaprolac-tone (PCL)-modified biochar (nZVI@PBC) was synthesized via solution intercalation and liquid-phase reduction to address the 1,1,1-TCA pollution problem in groundwater. The synergy effect and improvement mechanism of 1,1,1-TCA removal from simulated groundwater in the presence of nZVI@PBC coupling with Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 were investigated. The results were as follows: (1) The composite surface was rough and porous, and PCL and nZVI were loaded uniformly onto the biochar surface as micro-particles and nanoparticles, respectively; (2) the optimal mass ratio of PCL, biochar, and nZVI was 1:7:2, and the optimal composite dosage was 1.0% (w/v); (3) under the optimal conditions, nZVI@PBC + CN32 exhibited excellent removal performance for 1,1,1-TCA, with a removal rate of 82.98% within 360 h, while the maximum removal rate was only 41.44% in the nZVI + CN32 treatment; (4) the abundance of CN32 and the concentration of adsorbed Fe(II) in the nZVI@PBC + CN32 treatment were significantly higher than that in control treatments, while the total organic carbon (TOC) concentration first increased and then decreased during the culture process; (5) the major improvement mechanisms include the nZVI-mediated chemical reductive dechlorination and the CN32-mediated microbial dissimilatory iron reduction. In conclusion, the nZVI@PBC composite coupling with CN32 can be a potential technique to apply for 1,1,1-TCA removal in groundwater.

Abstract
The removal of environmental pollutants is important for a sustainable ecosystem and human health. Shewanella oneidensis (S. oneidensis) has diverse electron transfer pathways and can use a variety of contaminants as electron acceptors or electron donors. This paper reviews S. oneidensis's function in removing environmental pollutants, including heavy metals, inorganic non-metallic ions (INMIs), and toxic organic pollutants. S. oneidensis can mineralize o-xylene (OX), phenanthrene (PHE), and pyridine (Py) as electron donors, and also reduce azo dyes, nitro aromatic compounds (NACs), heavy metals, and iodate by extracellular electron transfer (EET). For azo dyes, NACs, Cr(VI), nitrite, nitrate, thiosulfate, and sulfite that can cross the membrane, S. oneidensis transfers electrons to intracellular reductases to catalyze their reduction. However, most organic pollutants cannot be directly degraded by S. oneidensis, but S. oneidensis can remove these pollutants by self-synthesizing catalysts or photocatalysts, constructing bio-photocatalytic systems, driving Fenton reactions, forming microbial consortia, and genetic engineering. However, the industrial-scale application of S. oneidensis is insufficient. Future research on the metabolism of S. oneidensis and interfacial reactions with other materials needs to be deepened, and large-scale reactors should be developed that can be used for practical engineering applications.

Abstract
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) have exhibited promising advantages in mitigating heavy metal contamination, e.g., single-valent silver (Ag(I)), trivalent gold (Au(III)), and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). However, knowledge of the specific substrate in EPSs that supports Cr(VI) reduction has remained elusive. Here, we isolated a novel Cr(VI)-reducing strain with self-mediating properties in an aquatic environment with various pH values to investigate the mechanisms. After analysis by a batch assay coupled with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) spectroscopic techniques, it was found that Cr(VI) was reduced by the strain and soluble-EPS (S-EPS), and then, organo-trivalent chromium (organo-Cr(III)) was successfully formed. In addition, compared with other components of the strain, the strain and S-EPS completely removed Cr(VI), and the S-EPS exhibited a positive effect on Cr(VI) reduction with a strong monotonic correlation (R2 = 0.999, p = 9.03 × 10-5), indicating that the reduction is an EPS-dependent process. Specifically, the Cr(VI) reduction efficiency was enhanced to 48.85% and 99.4% after EPS and EPS plus tryptophan were added; their respective efficiencies were 3.94 and 8.02 times higher than that of the control assay in which the reductant was depleted. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) analysis showed that the tryptophan concentration concomitantly decreased by 61.54%. These findings highlighted the importance of S-EPS and tryptophan and improved our understanding of EPS for Cr(VI) reduction, which might provide a novel strategy for decontaminating targeted heavy metals in future applications.

Abstract
The aggregation of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles and their limited transport ability in environmental media hinder their application in environmental remediation. In this study, the Cr(VI) removal efficiency, transport performance, and toxicity of nZVI and bentonite-modified nZVI (B-nZVI) were investigated. Compared with nZVI, B-nZVI improved the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) by 10%, and also significantly increased the transport in quartz sand and soil. Increasing the flow rate can enhance the transport of nZVI and B-nZVI in the quartz sand columns. The transport of the two materials in different soils was negatively correlated with the clay composition. Besides, modification of nZVI by bentonite could reduce toxicity to luminous bacteria (Photobacterium phosphereum T3) and ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Compared with Fe-EDTA, the transfer factors of nZVI and B-nZVI were 65.0% and 66.4% lower, respectively. This indicated that although iron nanoparticles accumulated in the roots of ryegrass, they were difficult to be transported to the shoots. The results of this study indicate that B-nZVI has a strong application potential in in situ environmental remediation.
