Biocontrol and growth promotion potential of Bacillus velezensis NT35 on Panax ginseng based on the multifunctional effect. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1447488. [PMID: 39139378 PMCID: PMC11319169 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1447488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
The Bacillus velezensis strain NT35, which has strong biocontrol ability, was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Panax ginseng. The antifungal effects of the NT35 strain against the mycelium and spore growth of Ilyonectria robusta, which causes ginseng rusty root rot, were determined. The inhibitory rate of I. robusta mycelial growth was 94.12% when the concentration of the NT35 strain was 107 CFU·mL-1, and the inhibitory rates of I. robusta sporulation and spore germination reached 100 and 90.31%, respectively, when the concentration of the NT35 strain was 104 and 108 CFU·mL-1, respectively. Strain NT35 had good prevention effects against ginseng rust rot indoors and in the field with the control effect 51.99%, which was similar to that of commercial chemical and biocontrol agents. The labeled strain NT35-Rif160-Stre400 was obtained and colonized ginseng roots, leaves, stems and rhizosphere soil after 90 days. Bacillus velezensis NT35 can induce a significant increase in the expression of five defensive enzyme-encoding genes and ginsenoside biosynthesis-related genes in ginseng. In the rhizosphere soil, the four soil enzymes and the microbial community improved during different periods of ginseng growth in response to the biocontrol strain NT35. The NT35 strain can recruit several beneficial bacteria, such as Luteimonas, Nocardioides, Sphingomonas, and Gemmatimonas, from the rhizosphere soil and reduce the relative abundance of Ilyonectria, Fusarium, Neonectria and Dactylonectria, which cause root rot and rusty root rot in ginseng plants. The disease indices were significantly negatively correlated with the abundances of Sphingomonas and Trichoderma. Additionally, Sphingomonadales, Sphingomonadaceae and actinomycetes were significantly enriched under the NT35 treatment according to LEfSe analysis. These results lay the foundation for the development of a biological agent based on strain NT35.

Abstract
The remediation of emerging contaminants presents a pressing environmental challenge, necessitating innovative approaches for effective mitigation. This review article delves into the untapped potential of soil microbial communities in the bioremediation of emerging contaminants. Bioremediation, while a promising method, often proves time-consuming and requires a deep comprehension of microbial intricacies for enhancement. Given the challenges presented by the inability to culture many of these microorganisms, conventional methods are inadequate for achieving this goal. While omics-based methods provide an innovative approach to understanding the fundamental aspects, processes, and connections among microorganisms that are essential for improving bioremediation strategies. By exploring the latest advancements in omics technologies, this review aims to shed light on how these approaches can unlock the hidden capabilities of soil microbial communities, paving the way for more efficient and sustainable remediation solutions.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative strain, designated as D2M1T was isolated from xylene-degrading enrichment culture and characterized using a polyphasic approach to determine its taxonomic position. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain D2M1T belongs to the genus Acidovorax, with the highest 16S rRNA gene similarity to Acidovorax delafieldii DSM 64T (99.93 %), followed by Acidovorax radicis DSM 23535T (98.77 %) and Acidovorax kalamii MTCC 12652T (98.76 %). The draft genome sequence of strain D2M1T is 5.49 Mb long, and the G+C content of the genome is 64.2 mol%. Orthologous average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization relatedness values between strain D2M1T and its closest relatives were below the threshold values for species demarcation confirming that strain D2M1T is distinctly separated from its closest relatives. The whole genome analysis of the strain revealed a phenol degradation gene cluster, encoding a multicomponent phenol hydroxylase (mPH) together with a complete meta-cleavage pathway including an I.2.C-type catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) gene. The strain was able to degrade benzene and ethylbenzene as sole sources of carbon and energy under aerobic and microaerobic conditions. Cells were facultatively aerobic rods and motile with a single polar flagellum. The predominant fatty acids (>10 % of the total) of strain D2M1T were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c), C16 : 0 and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c/C18 : 1 ω6c). The major ubiquinone of strain D2M1T was Q8, while the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Based on polyphasic data, it is concluded that strain D2M1T represents a novel species of the genus Acidovorax, for which the name of Acidovorax benzenivorans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the species is strain D2M1T (=DSM 115238T=NCAIM B.02679T).

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.

Abstract
The consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have increased significantly in the last years (2020-2022), especially for patients in COVID-19 treatment. NSAIDs such as diclofenac, ibuprofen, and paracetamol are often available without restrictions, being employed without medical supervision for basic symptoms of inflammatory processes. Furthermore, these compounds are increasingly present in nature constituting complex mixtures discarded at domestic and hospital sewage/wastewater. Therefore, this review emphasizes the biodegradation of diclofenac, ibuprofen, and paracetamol by pure cultures or consortia of fungi and bacteria at in vitro, in situ, and ex situ processes. Considering the influence of different factors (inoculum dose, pH, temperature, co-factors, reaction time, and microbial isolation medium) relevant for the identification of highly efficient alternatives for pharmaceuticals decontamination, since biologically active micropollutants became a worldwide issue that should be carefully addressed. In addition, we present a quantitative bibliometric survey, which reinforces that the consumption of these drugs and consequently their impact on the environment goes beyond the epidemiological control of COVID-19.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 262:115143. [PMID: 37336091 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
Owing to complex pore systems and chemical substances, soil aggregates provide a spatially heterogeneous microenvironment for adsorption capacity and microbial survival. As the widely used pesticide in farmlands, atrazine environmental behavior is not well known at the aggregate scale. In this study, Mollisol soil samples were sieved into four aggregate-size classes: large macroaggregates (>2 mm, LMa), small macroaggregates (1-2 mm, SMa), microaggregates (0.25-1 mm, Mia) and primary particles (<0.25 mm, P). The pore characteristics of each aggregate fraction was visualized by non-invasive X-ray three-dimensional microscopic computed tomography (3D-CT) combined with pore network extraction. The adsorption kinetics of atrazine in each aggregate-size fraction can be described well by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption isothermal process of atrazine can be better fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model than Freundlich isotherm model. There was an obvious linear correlation between the maximum atrazine adsorption capacity and aggregate SOC content as well as TN. In addition, the abundance of bacteria, actinomycetes and anaerobic bacteria in P was totally higher than those in SMa and Mia. Although pH is strongly linked to the bacterial community in the aggregate fraction, aggregate particle size explained 18 % for shaping the microbial community. Therefore, chemical properties and pore characteristics of each soil aggregate fraction both contributed to performance of atrazine adsorption behavior and microbial community.

Abstract
Diclofenac, ibuprofen, and carbamazepine are three of the most widely detected and most concerning pharmaceutical residues in aquatic ecosystems. The aim of this study was to identify bacteria that may be involved in their degradation from a bacterial biofilm. Selective enrichment cultures in mineral salt solution containing pharmaceutical compounds as sole source of carbon and energy were set up, and population dynamics were monitored using shotgun metagenome sequencing. Bacterial genomes were reconstructed using genome-resolved metagenomics. Thirty bacterial isolates were obtained, identified at species level, and tested regarding pharmaceutical biodegradation at an initial concentration of 1.5 mg l-1. The results indicated that most probably diclofenac biodegrading cultures consisted of members of genera Ferrovibrio, Hydrocarboniphaga, Zavarzinia, and Sphingopyxis, while in ibuprofen biodegradation Nocardioides and Starkeya, and in carbamazepine biodegradation Nocardioides, Pseudonocardia, and Sphingopyxis might be involved. During the enrichments, compared to the initial state the percentage relative abundance of these genera increased up to three orders of magnitude. Except Starkeya, the genomes of these bacteria were reconstructed and annotated. Metabolic analyses of the annotated genomes indicated that these bacteria harbored genes associated with pharmaceutical biodegradation. Stenotrophomonas humi DIC_5 and Rhizobium daejeonense IBU_18 isolates eliminated diclofenac and ibuprofen during the tests in the presence of either glucose (3 g l-1) or in R2A broth. Higher than 90% concentration reduction was observed in the case of both compounds.

Ibuprofen: Toxicology and Biodegradation of an Emerging Contaminant. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052097.

Abstract
The anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen is considered to be an emerging contaminant because of its presence in different environments (from water bodies to soils) at concentrations with adverse effects on aquatic organisms due to cytotoxic and genotoxic damage, high oxidative cell stress, and detrimental effects on growth, reproduction, and behavior. Because of its high human consumption rate and low environmental degradation rate, ibuprofen represents an emerging environmental problem. Ibuprofen enters the environment from different sources and accumulates in natural environmental matrices. The problem of drugs, particularly ibuprofen, as contaminants is complicated because few strategies consider them or apply successful technologies to remove them in a controlled and efficient manner. In several countries, ibuprofen's entry into the environment is an unattended contamination problem. It is a concern for our environmental health system that requires more attention. Due to its physicochemical characteristics, ibuprofen degradation is difficult in the environment or by microorganisms. There are experimental studies that are currently focused on the problem of drugs as potential environmental contaminants. However, these studies are insufficient to address this ecological issue worldwide. This review focuses on deepening and updating the information concerning ibuprofen as a potential emerging environmental contaminant and the potential for using bacteria for its biodegradation as an alternative technology.
