ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:118780. [PMID: 38555089 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118780] [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: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
In this experiment, the prepared tea biochar-cellulose@LDH material (TB-CL@LDH) was combined with mycelium pellets to form the composite mycelial pellets (CMP), then assembled and immobilized with strains Pseudomonas sp. Y1 and Cupriavidus sp. ZY7 to construct a bioreactor. At the best operating parameters, the initial concentrations of phosphate (PO43--P), ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N), chemical oxygen demand (COD), zinc (Zn2+), and phenol were 22.3, 25.0, 763.8, 1.0, and 1.0 mg L-1, the corresponding removal efficiencies were 80.4, 87.0, 83.4, 91.8, and 96.6%, respectively. Various characterization analyses demonstrated that the strain Y1 used the additional carbon source produced by the strain ZY7 degradation of cellulose to enhance the removal of composite pollutants and clarified the principle of Zn2+ and PO43--P removal by adsorption, co-precipitation and biomineralization. Pseudomonas and Cupriavidus were the dominant genera according to the high-throughput sequencing. As shown by KEGG results, nitrification and denitrification genes were affected by phenol. The study offers prospects for the simultaneous removal of complex pollutants consisting of NH4+-N, PO43--P, Zn2+, and phenol.

Abstract
Biotransformation of steroids by fungi has been raised as a successful, eco-friendly, and cost-effective biotechnological alternative for chemical derivatization. Endophytic fungi live inside vegetal tissues without causing damage to the host plant, making available unique enzymes that carry out uncommon reactions. Moreover, using nanofibrous membranes as support for immobilizing fungal cells is a powerful strategy to improve their performance by enabling the combined action of adsorption and transformation processes, along with increasing the stability of the fungal cell. In the present study, we report the use of polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous membrane (PAN NFM) produced by electrospinning as supporting material for immobilizing the endophytic fungus Penicillium citrinum H7 aiming the biotransformation of progesterone. The PAN@H7 NFM displayed a high progesterone transformation efficiency (above 90%). The investigation of the biotransformation pathway of progesterone allowed the putative structural characterization of its main fungal metabolite by GC-MS analysis. The oxidative potential of P. citrinum H7 was selective for the C-17 position of the steroidal nucleus.

Unveiling the synergistic mechanism of autochthonous fungal bioaugmentation and ammonium nitrogen biostimulation for enhanced phenanthrene degradation in oil-contaminated soils. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133293. [PMID: 38141301 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133293] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
Autochthonous bioaugmentation and nutrient biostimulation are promising bioremediation methods for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated agricultural soils, but little is known about their combined working mechanism. In this study, a microcosm trial was conducted to explore the combined mechanism of autochthonous fungal bioaugmentation and ammonium nitrogen biostimulation, using DNA stable-isotope-probing (DNA-SIP) and microbial network analysis. Both treatments significantly improved phenanthrene (PHE) removal, with their combined application producing the best results. The microbial community composition was notably altered by all bioremediation treatments, particularly the PHE-degrading bacterial and fungal taxa. Fungal bioaugmentation removed PAHs through extracellular enzyme secretion but reduced soil microbial diversity and ecological stability, while nitrogen biostimulation promoted PAH dissipation by stimulating indigenous soil degrading microbes, including fungi and key bacteria in the soil co-occurrence networks, ensuring the ecological diversity of soil microorganisms. The combination of both approaches proved to be the most effective strategy, maintaining a high degradation efficiency and relatively stable soil biodiversity through the secretion of lignin hydrolytic enzymes by fungi, and stimulating the reproduction of soil native degrading microbes, especially the key degraders in the co-occurrence networks. Our findings provide a fresh perspective of the synergy between fungal bioaugmentation and nitrogen biostimulation, highlighting the potential of this combined bioremediation approach for in situ PAH-contaminated soils.

Abstract
The current industrial and human activities scenario has accelerated the widespread use of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), which can be found in everyday products, including plastic containers, bottles, toys, cosmetics, etc., but can pose a severe risk to human health and the environment. In this regard, fungal bioremediation appears as a green and cost-effective approach to removing pollutants from water resources. Besides, immobilizing fungal cells onto nanofibrous membranes appears as an innovative strategy to improve remediation performance by allowing the adsorption and degradation to occur simultaneously. Herein, we developed a novel nanostructured bioremediation platform based on polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous membrane (PAN NFM) as supporting material for immobilizing an endophytic fungus to remove bisphenol A (BPA), a typical EDC. The endophytic strain was isolated from Handroanthus impetiginosus leaves and identified as Phanerochaete sp. H2 by molecular methods. The successful assembly of fungus onto the PAN NFM surface was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared with free fungus cells, the PAN@H2 NFM displayed a high BPA removal efficiency (above 85%) at an initial concentration of 5 ppm, suggesting synergistic removal by simultaneous adsorption and biotransformation. Moreover, the biotransformation pathway was investigated, and the chemical structures of fungal metabolites of BPA were identified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography - high-resolution mass (UHPLC-HRMS) analysis. In general, our results suggest that by combining the advantages of enzymatic activity and nanofibrous structure, the novel platform has the potential to be applied in the bioremediation of varied EDCs or even other pollutants found in water resources.

Abstract
Polyaniline is widely used in the field of electrochemistry due to its excellent electrical conductivity. However, its effectiveness and mechanism of enhancing adsorption property are unclear. Herein, chitosan/polyaniline nanofibrous composite membranes with average diameter ranging from 200 to 300 nm were fabricated by electrospinning technology. The as-prepared nanofibrous membranes exhibited significantly improved adsorption capacity of 814.9 mg/g and 618.0 mg/g towards acid blue 113 and reactive orange dyes, which were 121.8 % and 99.4 % higher than that of pure chitosan membrane. The doped polyaniline promoted the dye transfer rate and capacity due to the enhanced conductivity of the composite membrane. Kinetic data showed that chemisorption was the rate-limiting step, and thermodynamic data indicated the adsorption of the two anionic dyes was spontaneous monolayer adsorption. This study provides a feasible strategy to introduce conductive polymer into adsorbent to construct high performance adsorbents for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Improper disposal of waste biomass and an increasing number of emerging contaminants (ECs) in water environment are universal threats to the global environment. Here, we creatively propose a sustainable strategy for the direct resource transformation of livestock manure (LM) into an innovative catalyst (Fe-CCM) for water self-purification with zero external consumption. ECs can be rapidly degraded in this self-purification system at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, without any external oxidants or energy input, accompanied by H2O and dissolved oxygen (DO) activation. The performance of the self-purification system is not affected by various types of salinity in the wastewater, and the corresponding second-order kinetic constant is improved 7 times. The enhanced water self-purification mechanism reveales that intermolecular forces between anions and pollutants reinforce electron exchange between pollutants and metal sites on the catalyst, further inducing the utilization of the intrinsic energy of contaminants, H2O, and DO through the interfacial reaction. This work provides new insights into the rapid removal of ECs in complicated water systems with zero external consumption and is expected to advance the resource utilization of livestock waste.

Abstract
The coexistence of multiple pollutants and lack of carbon sources are challenges for the biological treatment of wastewater. To achieve simultaneous removal of nitrate (NO3--N) and cadmium (Cd2+) at low carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratios, 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (HNQ) was selected from three redox mediators as an accelerator for denitrification of heterotrophic strain Pseudomonas stutzeri sp. GF2 and autotrophic strain Zoogloea sp. FY6. Then, halloysite nanotubes immobilized with 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (HNTs-HNQ) were prepared and a bioreactor was constructed with immobilized redox mediator granules (IRMG) as the carrier, which was immobilized with HNTs-HNQ and inoculated with the two strains. The immobilized HNQ and the inoculated strains jointly improved the removal ability of NO3--N and Cd2+ and the removal efficiency of NO3--N (25.0 mg L-1) and Cd2+ (5.0 mg L-1) were 92.81% and 93.94% at C/N = 1.5 and hydraulic retention time (HRT) = 4 h. The Cd2+ was removed by adsorption of iron oxides (FeO(OH) and Fe3O4) and IRMG. The electron transport system activity (ETSA) of bacteria was improved and the composition of dissolved organic matter in the effluent was not affected by HNQ. The HNQ promoted the production of FeO(OH) and up-regulated the proportion of Zoogloea (54.75% in the microbial community), indicating that Zoogloea sp. FY6 was dominant in the microbial community. In addition, HNQ influenced the metabolic pathways and improved the relative abundance of some genes involved in nitrogen metabolism and the iron redox cycle.

Abstract
This research aims to elucidate the effect of fungal pellets (FP) on denitrifying bacteria regarding nitrate (NO3--N) removal, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), and potential functions at a low carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio. A symbiotic system of FP and denitrifying bacteria GF2 was established. The symbiotic system showed 100% NO3--N removal efficiency (4.07 mg L-1 h-1) at 6 h and enhanced electron transfer capability at C/N = 1.5. The interactions between FP and denitrifying bacteria promoted the production of polysaccharides (PS) in EPS. Both the increased PS and the PS provided by FP as well as protein and humic acid-like substances in EPS could be consumed by denitrifying bacteria. FP acted as a protector and provided habitat and nutrients for denitrifying bacteria as well as improved the ability of carbohydrate metabolism, amino metabolism, and nitrogen metabolism of denitrifying bacteria. This study provides a new perspective on the relationship between FP and denitrifying bacteria.

Abstract
The ability of actinobacteria of the genus Rhodococcus to biotransform the monoterpenoid (–)-isopulegol has been established for the first time. R. rhodochrous strain IEGM 1362 was selected as a bacterium capable of metabolizing (–)-isopulegol to form new, previously unknown, 10-hydroxy (2) and 10-carboxy (3) derivatives, which may presumably have antitumor activity and act as respiratory stimulants and cancer prevention agents. In the experiments, optimal conditions were selected to provide the maximum target catalytic activity of rhodococci. Using up-to-date (TEM, AFM-CLSM, and EDX) and traditional (cell size, roughness, and zeta potential measurements) biophysical and microbiological methods, it was shown that (–)-isopulegol and halloysite nanotubes did not negatively affect the bacterial cells. The data obtained expand our knowledge of the biocatalytic potential of rhodococci and their possible involvement in the synthesis of pharmacologically active compounds from plant derivatives.

Sun Y, Ali A, Zheng Z, Su J, Zhang S, Min Y, Liu Y. Denitrifying bacteria immobilized magnetic mycelium pellets bioreactor: A new technology for efficient removal of nitrate at a low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 347:126369. [PMID: 34838633 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.126369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Revised: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 11/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
This study integrated spores and magnetite (Fe3O4) to form magnetic mycelium pellets (MMP) as bio-carriers immobilized with denitrifying bacteria in a bioreactor. Different carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratios and hydraulic retention time (HRT) were established for investigating the performance of the bioreactor. The nitrate removal efficiency was 98.14% at C/N = 2.0 and HRT = 6 h. Gas chromatography (GC) results indicated that the main component of the produced gas was N2. Fe3O4 was well-integrated into MMP according to X-ray diffraction (XRD) results and infrared spectrometer (FTIR) analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showed that bacteria were successfully immobilized on MMP. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) indicated that functional bacteria GF2 might enhance the metabolic activity of the microbial community in the bioreactor and microbial activity was highest at C/N = 2.0. Pseudomonas stutzeri sp. GF2 might be immobilized and had a major role in the bioreactor according to high throughput sequencing results.

Abstract
The numerous biological applications of nanoparticles in general and nano-clays in particular are rooted in understanding and harnessing their dynamic nano-bio interface. Among clays, the intrinsically-mesoporous halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) have emerged in recent years as promising nanomaterials. The diverse interactions of these nanotubes with living cells, encompassing electrostatic, van der Waals, and ion exchange, along with cellular response, are crucial in determining the behaviour of HNTs in biological systems. Thus, rational engineering of the nanotube properties allows for vast applications ranging from bacteria encapsulation for bioremediation, through algae flocculation for aquaculture, to intracellular drug delivery. This review summarizes the many aspects of the nano-bio interface of HNTs with different cell types (bacteria, algae and fungi, and mammalian cells), highlighting biocompatibility/bio-adverse properties, interaction mechanisms, and the latest cutting-edge technologies.
