Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Serendipita indica induced metabolic reprogramming in colonized plants complements phosphorus-management in improving their tolerance to arsenic stress on multifaceted biological fronts. Restoration of the anthropic damage done to our environment is inextricably linked to devising strategies that are not only economically sound but are self-renewing and ecologically conscious. The dilemma of heavy metal (HM) dietary ingestion, especially arsenic (As), faced by humans and animals alike, necessitates the exploitation of such technologies and the cultivation of healthy and abundant crops. The remarkable symbiotic alliance between plants and 'mycorrhizas' has evolved across eons, benefiting growth/yield aspects as well as imparting abiotic/biotic stress tolerance. The intricate interdependence of Serendipita indica (S. indica) and rice plant reportedly reduce As accumulation, accentuating the interest of microbiologists, agriculturists, and ecotoxicological scientists apropos of the remediation mechanisms of As in the soil-AMF-rice system. Nutrient management, particularly of phosphorus (P), is also praised for mitigating As phytotoxicity by deterring the uptake of As molecules due to the rhizospheric cationic competition. Taking into consideration the reasonable prospects of success in minimizing As acquisition by rice plants, this review focuses on the physiological, metabolic, and transcriptional alterations underlying S. indica symbiosis, recuperation of As stress together with nutritional management of P by gathering case studies and presenting successful paradigms. Weaving together a volume of literature, we assess the chemical forms of As and related transport pathways, discuss As-P-rice interaction and the significance of fungi in As toxicity mitigation, predominantly the role of mycorrhiza, as well as survey of the multifaceted impacts of S. indica on plants. A potential strategy for simultaneous S. indica + P administration in paddy fields is proposed, followed by future research orientation to expand theoretic comprehension and encourage field-based implementation.

[PMID: 38248956 PMCID: PMC10817489 DOI: 10.3390/jof10010047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
A collection of 34 melanized fungi isolated previously from anthropogenic contaminated sites were assessed for their tolerance to toxic concentrations of As(V) and Cr(VI) anions. Three strains of the species Cyphellophora olivacea, Rhinocladiella similis, and Exophiala mesophila (Chaetothyriales) were identified as hyper-metallotolerant, with estimated IC50 values that ranged from 11.2 to 16.9 g L-1 for As(V) and from 2.0 to 3.4 g L-1 for Cr(VI). E. mesophila and R. similis were selected for subsequent assays on their biosorption capacity and kinetics under different pH values (4.0 and 6.5) and types of biomass (active and dead cells and melanin extracts). The fungal biosorption of As(V) was relatively ineffective, but significant removal of Cr(VI) was observed from liquid cultures. The Langmuir model with second-order kinetics showed maximum sorption capacities of 39.81 mg Cr6+ g-1 for R. similis and 95.26 mg Cr6+ g-1 for E. mesophila on a dry matter basis, respectively, while the kinetic constant for these two fungi was 1.32 × 10-6 and 1.39 × 10-7 g (mg Cr6+ min)-1. Similar experiments with melanin extracts of E. mesophila showed maximum sorption capacities of 544.84 mg Cr6+ g-1 and a kinetic constant of 1.67 × 10-6 g (mg Cr6+ min)-1. These results were compared to bibliographic data, suggesting that metallotolerance in black fungi might be the result of an outer cell-wall barrier to reduce the diffusion of toxic metals into the cytoplasm, as well as the inner cell wall biosorption of leaked metals by melanin.

Abstract
Recovering key metals from secondary sources is an indispensable strategy for preventing metal shortages and reducing the risk of toxic releases into the environment. Metal mineral resources continue to be depleted and the global supply chain will face metal scarcity. The use of microorganisms for metal transformation plays an important role in the bioremediation of secondary resources. It shows great potential for development due to its compatibility with the environment and possible cost effectiveness. The results of the study show that the influence of bioleaching processes and effects are mainly analyzed from microorganisms, mineral properties and leaching environmental conditions. In this review article, we elucidate light on the role and mechanisms of fungi and bacteria involved in extracting different metals from tailings, including acidolysis, complexolysis, redoxolysis, and bioaccumulation. Key process parameters that affect the efficiency based bioleaching are discussed, providing referenceable pathways to improve leaching efficiency. The investigation concludes that exploitation of the functional genetic role of microorganisms and their optimal growth conditions can achieve efficient leaching of metals. It was found that the improvement of microbial performance was achieved at the level of mutagenesis breeding, mixed culture microorganisms, and genetics. Moreover, control of leaching system parameters and removal of passivation films can be achieved by adding biochar and surfactants in the leaching system as an effective means to improve tailings leaching. Knowledge about cells with minerals and their detailed interactions at the molecular level is still relatively scarce and the field could be deepened and this area needs to be further explored in the future. The challenges and the key issues associated with the bioleaching technology development are elaborated as a green and effective bioremediation strategy for the environment and prospects for imminent are also highlighted.

Abstract
As a primary goal, cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal pollutant that is readily adsorbed and retained in rice, and it becomes a serious threat to food safety and human health. Fungi have attracted interest for their ability to remove heavy metals from the environment, although the underlying mechanisms of how fungi defend against Cd toxicity are still unclear. In this study, a Cd-resistant fungus Trametes pubescens (T. pubescens) was investigated. Pot experiments of rice seedlings colonized with T. pubescens showed that their coculture could significantly enhance rice seedling growth and reduce Cd accumulation in rice tissues. Furthermore, integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were used to explore how T. pubescens would reprogram its metabolic network against reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by Cd toxicity. Based on multi-omic data mining results, we postulated that under Cd stress, T. pubescens was able to upregulate both the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol signaling pathways, which enhanced the nitrogen flow from amino acids metabolism through glutaminolysis to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), one of the entering points of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle within mitochondria; it thus increased the production of energy equivalents, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) for T. pubescens to resist oxidative damage. This study can enable a better understanding of the metabolic rewiring of T. pubescens under Cd stress, and it can also provide a promising potential to prevent the rice paddy fields from Cd toxicity and enhance food safety.

Abstract
Good quality of water determines the healthy life of living beings on this earth. The cleanliness of water was interrupted by the pollutants emerging out of several human activities. Industrialization, urbanization, heavy population, and improper disposal of wastes are found to be the major reasons for the contamination of water. Globally, the inclusion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and heavy metals released by manufacturing industries, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical processes have created environmental issues. The toxic nature of these pollutants has led researchers, scientists, and industries to exhibit concern towards the complete eradication of them. In this scenario, the development of wastewater treatment methodologies at low cost and in an eco-friendly way had gained importance at the international level. Recently, bio-based technologies were considered for environmental remedies. Biofiltration based works have shown a significant result for the removal of volatile organic compounds and heavy metals in the treatment of wastewater. This was done with several biological sources such as bacteria, fungi, algae, plants, yeasts, etc. The biofiltration technique is cost-effective, simple, biocompatible, sustainable, and eco-friendly compared to conventional techniques. This review article provides deep insight into biofiltration technologies engaged in the removal of volatile organic compounds and heavy metals in the wastewater treatment process.

Abstract
Spent mushroom compost (SMC) is a lignocellulose-rich waste material commonly used in the passive treatment of heavy metal-contaminated environments. In this study, we investigated the bioremediation potential of SMC against an inorganic form of arsenic, examining the individual abiotic and biotic transformations carried out by SMC. We demonstrated, that key SMC physiological groups of bacteria (denitrifying, cellulolytic, sulfate-reducing, and heterotrophic) are resistant to arsenites and arsenates, while the microbial community in SMC is also able to oxidize As(III) and reduce As(V) in respiratory metabolisms, although the SMC did not contain any As. We showed, that cooperation between arsenate and sulfate-reducing bacteria led to the precipitation of AsxSy. We also found evidence of the significant role organic acids may play in arsenic complexation, and we demonstrated the occurrence of As-binding proteins in the SMC. Furthermore, we confirmed, that biofilm produced by the microbial community in SMC was able to trap As(V) ions. We postulated, that the above-mentioned transformations are responsible for the sorption efficiency of As(V) (up to 25%) and As(III) (up to 16%), as well as the excellent buffering properties of SMC observed in the sorption experiments.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) removal is a huge challenge, since several million people are potentially exposed (>10 μg/L World Health Organization guideline limit) through As contaminated drinking water worldwide. Review attempts to address the present situation of As removal, considering key topics on nano-technological and biological process and current progress and future perspectives of possible mitigation options have been evaluated. Different physical, chemical and biological methods are available to remove As from contaminated water/soil/wastes, where removal efficiency mainly depends on absorbent type, initial adsorbate concentration, speciation and interfering species. Oxidation is an important pretreatment step in As removal, which is generally achieved by several media such as O2/O3, HClO, KMnO4 and H2O2. The Fe-based-nanomaterials (α/β/γ-FeOOH, Fe2O3/Fe3O4-γ-Fe2O3), Fe-based-composite-compounds, activated-Al2O3, HFO, Fe-Al2O3, Fe2O3-impregnated-graphene-aerogel, iron-doped-TiO2, aerogel-based- CeTiO2, and iron-oxide-coated-manganese are effective to remove As from contaminated water. Biological processes (phytoremediation/microbiological) are effective and ecofriendly for As removal from water and/or soil environment. Microorganisms remove As from water, sediments and soil by metabolism, detoxification, oxidation-reduction, bio-adsorption, bio-precipitation, and volatilization processes. Ecofriendly As mitigation options can be achieved by utilizing an alternative As-safe-aquifer, surface-water or rainwater-harvesting. Application of hybrid (biological with chemical and physical process) and Best-Available-Technologies (BAT) can be the most effective As removal strategy to remediate As contaminated environments.

Abstract
Industrial processes and mining of coal and metal ores are generating a number of threats by polluting natural water bodies. Contamination of heavy metals (HMs) in water and soil is the most serious problem caused by industrial and mining processes and other anthropogenic activities. The available literature suggests that existing conventional technologies are costly and generated hazardous waste that necessitates disposal. So, there is a need for cheap and green approaches for the treatment of such contaminated wastewater. Bioremediation is considered a sustainable way where fungi seem to be good bioremediation agents to treat HM-polluted wastewater. Fungi have high adsorption and accumulation capacity of HMs and can be potentially utilized. The most important biomechanisms which are involved in HM tolerance and removal by fungi are bioaccumulation, bioadsorption, biosynthesis, biomineralisation, bioreduction, bio-oxidation, extracellular precipitation, intracellular precipitation, surface sorption, etc. which vary from species to species. However, the time, pH, temperature, concentration of HMs, the dose of fungal biomass, and shaking rate are the most influencing factors that affect the bioremediation of HMs and vary with characteristics of the fungi and nature of the HMs. In this review, we have discussed the application of fungi, involved tolerance and removal strategies in fungi, and factors affecting the removal of HMs.

Abstract
Arsenic is present naturally in many geological formations around the world and has been found to be a major source of contamination of groundwater in some countries. This form of contamination represents a serious threat to health, economic and social well-being, particularly in under-developed countries and remote communities. The chemistry of arsenic and the factors that influence the form(s) in which it may be present and its fate when introduced into the environment is discussed briefly in this review. A global overview of arsenic contamination of groundwater around the world is then discussed. As a case study, the identified and established causes of groundwater contamination by arsenic in Bangladesh is highlighted and a perspective is provided on the consequential health, agricultural, social and economic impacts. In addition, the relevant removal strategies that have been developed and can generally be used to remediate arsenic contamination are discussed. Also, the possible influence of groundwater inorganic compositions, particularly iron and phosphate, on the effectiveness of arsenic removal is discussed. Furthermore, some specific examples of the filter systems developed successfully for domestic arsenic removal from groundwater to provide required potable water for human consumption are discussed. Lastly, important considerations for further improving the performance and effectiveness of these filter systems for domestic use are outlined.

Abstract
The current scenario of increased population and industrial advancement leads to the spoliation of freshwater and tapper of the quality of water. These results decrease in freshwater bodies near all of the areas. Besides, organic and inorganic compounds discharged from different sources into the available natural water bodies are the cause of pollution. The occurrence of heavy metals in water and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air is responsible for a vast range of negative impacts on the atmosphere and human health. Nonetheless, high uses of heavy metals for human purposes may alter the biochemical and geochemical equilibrium. The major air contaminants which are released into the surroundings known as VOCs are produced through different kinds of sources, such as petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. VOCs are known to cause various health hazards. VOCs are a pivotal group of chemicals that evaporate readily at room temperature. To get over this problem, biofiltration technology has been evolved for the treatment of heavy metals using biological entities such as plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria. Biofiltration technology is a beneficial and sustainable method for the elimination of toxic pollutants from the aquatic environment. Various types of biological technologies ranging from biotrickling filters to biofilters have been developed and they are cost-effective, simple to fabricate, and easy to perform. A significant advantage of this process is the pollutant that is transformed into biodegradable trashes which can decompose within an average time period, thus yielding no secondary pollutants. The aim of this article is to scrutinize the role of biofiltration in the removal of heavy metals in wastewater and VOCs and also to analyze the recent bioremediation technologies and methods.

New approach for the assessment of the contribution of adsorption, biodegradation and self-bioregeneration in the dynamic process of biologically active carbon functioning.

Abstract
This work developed an effective model of the cooperative removal process of organic compounds on biologically active carbon. This model involves the determination of the dynamics of adsorption efficiency and degradation of specific classes of target organic substances but also the dynamics of non-target filling of pores with products of vital microbial activity. It is possible to quantitatively assess the contributions of adsorption, biodegradation and self-bioregeneration in the process of biologically active carbon functioning and the changes in the activated carbon porous properties during the process. The model developed was applied to assess the efficiency of filtration of 2-nitrophenol through a biologically active carbon bed for 38 months. The activated carbon adsorption capacity for removing 2-nitrophenol was preserved after three years of the bed service due to the effective biodegradation that resulted in self-bioregeneration of the sorbent. Nontarget losses of porosity (filling with bioproducts) increased with increasing duration of system operation, and by the end of the experiment, these losses amounted to 61% of the pore volume of the fresh sorbent.

Abstract
Microbial remediation is a promising technique to remediate heavy metals contaminated soils. In this study, the cadmium (Cd)- resistant Citrobacter sp. XT1-2-2, isolated from heavy metals contaminated paddy soils, was investigated to evaluate the effect of this strain on soil Cd speciation, cellular Cd distribution, tissue Cd accumulation and rice biomass. The percentage of Cd2+ removal by Citrobacter sp. XT1-2-2 was up to 82.3 ± 2.1% within 240 min in the solution. The average content of soil soluble plus exchangeable and carbonate-bound fractions of Cd decreased, whereas Fe/Mn oxide-bound, organic matter-bound and residual fractions increased with bacteria inoculation. For the paddy soil inoculated with the XT1-2-2 strain, Cd concentrations of roots, culms, leaves and grains were significantly reduced by 24.1%, 46.9%, 41.5% and 66.7%, respectively. In addition, inoculation bacteria significantly increased the biomass of the roots, above-ground tissues and the rice grains. All results indicated that the XT1-2-2 strain had the ability to immobilize soil Cd and decrease Cd accumulation in rice grains. Therefore, the XT1-2-2 strain has potential for application to remediate Cd-contaminated paddy soils. It is possible to exploit a new bacterial-assisted technique for the remediation in Cd-contaminated paddy soils.

Abstract
For decades, a vast array of innovative biosorbents have been found out and used in the removal of heavy metals, including bacteria, algae and fungi, etc. Although extensive biological species have been tried as a biosorbent for heavy metals removal, for removal efficiency or economy efficiency limited, it has failed to make a substantial breakthrough in practical application. Thus, many improved methods based on biosorbents emerged. In this review, based on the literature and our research results, we highlight three types of novel methods for biosorbents removal of heavy metals: chemical modification of biosorbents; biomass and chemical materials combination; multiple biomass complex systems. We mainly focus on their configuration, biosorption performance, their creation method, regeneration/reuse, their application and development in the future. Through the comparative analysis of various methods, we think that intracellular autogenous nanomaterials may open up another window in biosorption of heavy metals area. At the same time, the combination of various treatment methods will be the development tendency of heavy metal pollution treatment in the future.

Abstract
The turmeric industry produces a huge amount of residues annually. After undergoing different extraction process, turmeric residue biomass may be transformed from waste to resource. Turmeric residues exhibit different characteristics suitable for various environmental applications. In this work, the adsorption of Cu(II) onto turmeric residues from microbial (TR-A) and chemical (TR-B) extraction was investigated. The characteristics of the residues were examined via Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Then, applications to Cu(II) immobilization were identified. Results suggested that although TR-B had better thermal stability, larger surface area, and more pores than TR-A, the adsorption capacity of Cu(II) onto TR-A was higher (13.12 mg/g) than that onto TR-B (7.37 mg/g) because TR-A had more microbial cell debris, metabolites, and S element than TR-B. In practice, TR-A-added soil achieved 40% more Cu immobilization than TR-B-added soil under continuous leaching of simulated acid rain. Consequently, the residues extracted using the microbial method prevented pollution after the traditional extraction process and transformed waste into a material for environmental remediation.

Abstract
: Bioremediation is an environmentally-benign and cost-effective approach to removing arsenic from contaminated areas. A fungal strain hyper-tolerant to arsenic was isolated from soil from a mine site and used for the removal of arsenic. The isolated fungus was identified as Talaromyces sp., and its growth rate, arsenic tolerance, and removal rates were investigated for As(III) and As(V). Arsenic tolerance tests revealed that the fungus was highly resistant to arsenic, tolerating concentrations up to 1000 mg/L. Robust mycelial growth was observed in potato dextrose broth containing either As(III) or As(V), and there was no difference in growth between that in arsenic-free medium and medium amended with up to 300 mg/L of either arsenic species. The isolate showed relatively low growth rates at As(V) concentrations >500 mg/L, and almost no growth at As(III) concentrations >300 mg/L. Both arsenic species were effectively removed from aqueous medium (>70%) in tests of the biosorption of arsenic onto mycelial biomass. Surface modification of the biomass with Fe(III) (hydr)oxides significantly enhanced arsenic removal efficiency. The findings indicate that this soil fungal strain has promise for use in bioremediation strategies to remove arsenic from highly contaminated aqueous systems.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a ubiquitous element found in the atmosphere, soils and rocks, natural waters and organisms. It is one of the most toxic elements and has been classified as a human carcinogen (group I). Arsenic contamination in the groundwater has been observed in >70 countries, like Bangladesh, India, West Bengal, Myanmar, Pakistan, Vietnam, Nepal, Cambodia, United States and China. About 200 million people are being exposed to excessive As through consumption of contaminated drinking water. Therefore, developing affordable and efficient techniques to remove As from drinking water is critical to protect human health. The currently available technologies include coagulation-flocculation, adsorption, ion exchange, electrochemical conversion and membrane technologies. However, most of the aforementioned treatment techniques require high initial and maintenance costs, and skilled manpower on top of that. Nowadays, adsorption has been accepted as a suitable removal technology, particularly for developing regions, because of its simple operation, potential for regeneration, and little toxic sludge generation. Processes based on the use of natural, locally available adsorbents are considered to be more accessible for developing countries, have a lower investment cost and a lower environmental impact (CO2 emission). To increase their performance, these materials may be chemically modified. Hence, this review paper presents progress of adsorption technologies for remediation of As contaminated water using chemically modified natural materials.

Abstract
Heavy metals are discharged into aquatic environment and causes serious problems to the environment, human's health, and other organisms. The industrial effluents contain high concentration of heavy metals that should be treated by different technologies. Numerous technologies have been widely used for the remediation of heavy metals such as chemical precipitation, ion exchange, membrane filtration, adsorption, coagulation-flocculation, floatation, electrochemical treatment, bioremediation, and photocatalysis. Among these technologies, photocatalysis has gained much attention due to chemical, physical, and electrical properties of heterogeneous semiconductor nano-photocatalysis. Bismuth vanadate is an n-type semiconductor photocatalyst having 2.4 eV band gap that was widely used from several decades having three monoclinic, tetragonal, and tetragonal zircon structures, but it also have some limitation that can be overcome by modification with metals or non-metals to gain high removal efficiency of heavy metals. This modification can tune its photocatalytic properties like band gap, absorption capacity, and surface area resulting in high photocatalytic performance towards heavy metals detoxification.

Abstract
In this paper, we have used HDTMA-Br- and NaOH-treated bark powder of Mangifera indica as bio-sorbents for the removal of dysprosium (III) from its aqueous solution. The adsorption process was investigated at different experimental parameters such as contact time, temperature, pH, adsorbent dose, and initial metal concentration. The amount of chemically modified bark powder required was almost two times lesser than raw bark to get a higher percentage removal of the metal ion. The kinetics results revealed the adsorption process follows the nonlinear form a pseudo-second-order model. The negative values of Gibbs free energy change (∆G°) indicated the spontaneity of the adsorption process. The enthalpy change (∆H°) and entropy change (∆S°) of adsorption were 60.97 kJ/mol and 0.48 J/mol K, respectively signified it as an endothermic process. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 55.04 mg/g for sorption of Dy (III) on NaOH-treated bark powder and was better fitted to Langmuier model. It was confirmed to follow physisorption process and the activation energy of the system was found to be 41.07 kJ/mol. The possibility of adsorbent and adsorbate interactions were indicated by the FTIR and SEM/EDX analysis.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to investigate the mechanism responsible for Cd and Pb immobilization by sulfate reduction to sulfide and effectiveness of decreasing Cd2+ and Pb2+ bioavailability in culture solution and paddy soils via sulfate-reducing bacterium (SRB1-1). The SRB1-1 strain, exhibiting high resistances to Cd2+ and Pb2+, was isolated from bulk soils in the metal(loid)-contaminated paddy field. During the culture of the SRB1-1 strain, the removal percentages of Cd2+ and Pb2+ from culture solution reached 99.5% and 76.0% in 72 h, respectively. The surface morphology and composition of metal precipitates formed by SRB1-1 strain were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and further confirmed to be CdS and PbS by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). When living SRB1-1 strain was applied in Cd and Pb-contaminated soils, the SRB1-1 strain could stably colonize using its resistance to rifampicin, and showed significantly impact on the bacterial community composition. Cd and Pb contents in rice grains were decreased by 29.5% and 26.2%, respectively, while Cd and Pb contents in the roots, culms, leaves, and husk were also decreased ranging from 19.1% to 43%, respectively. Due to growth in highly Cd and Pb contaminated soils, Cd content of the rice grains did not meet the standard for limit of Cd and Pb, but safe production of rice plants may be obtained in slightly or moderately metal(loid)-contaminated soils in the presence of the living SRB1-1 strain. These results indicated that the SRB1-1 strain could effectively reduce the Cd and Pb bioavailability in soils and uptake in rice plants. Our results highlighted the possibility to develop a new bacterial-assisted technique for reduced metal accumulation in rice grains, and also showed potential for effective synergistic bioremediation of SRB1-1 strain and rice plants in metal(loid)-contaminated soils.

Amendment of Caulerpa sertularioides marine alga with sulfur-containing materials to accelerate Cu removal from aqueous media. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 26:4703-4716.

Abstract
This study reports a new approach of alga amendment in a live mode. The Caulerpa sertularioides alga was modified with sulfur-containing materials of methionine (C5H11NO2S) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) to more concentrate the sulfur content of the yielded biomass (adsorbent). The simple and amended C. sertularioides alga was fully characterized with FTIR, SEM, EDX, BET, BJH, and pHzpc techniques. The copper adsorption from aqueous media was done by three adsorbents of C. sertularioides-simple (CSS), C. sertularioides-Na2SO4 (CSN), and C. sertularioides-C5H11NO2S (CSC). The parameters of pH (2-6), adsorbent dosage (2-10 g/L), and contact time (3-80 min) were optimized at 5, 5 g/L, and 60 min, respectively. According to Langmuir isotherm (the best-fitted model), the maximum adsorption capacity of CSN (98.04 mg/g) was obtained 2.4 times higher than CSC (40.73 mg/g) and 9.5 times higher than CSS (10.29 mg/g). The Cu adsorption process by the adsorbents was best-fitted pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The CSN, CSC, and CSS biomasses were successfully reused 5, 4, and 4 times, respectively. The thermodynamic study revealed that the copper adsorption process by CSN is exothermic and non-spontaneous. Finally, the suitability of adsorbents prepared from algae was tested by cleaning a simulated wastewater.

Abstract
Sorbent materials of biological origin are considered as an alternative to the use of traditional methods in order to remove heavy metals. Interest in using these materials has increased over the past years due to their low cost and friendliness to the environment. The objective of this study was to synthesize and characterize cross-linked beads made of chitosan, alginate, and mycelium of a copper-tolerant strain of Aspergillus australensis. The acute toxicity of the biocomposite beads was assessed using brine shrimp Artemia salina nauplii and the phytotoxicity was determined using lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and chili pepper 'Anaheim' (Capsicum annuum) seeds. The biosorption capacity for copper removal in simulated wastewater was also evaluated. Results showed that the biosorbent obtained had a maximal adsorption of 26.1 mg of Cu2+ per g of biocomposite, and removal efficiency was around 79%. The toxicity of simulated residual water after treatment with the biocomposite showed low toxicity toward seeds, which was highly dependent on the residual copper concentration. The toxicity of the biocomposite beads to A. salina was considered medium depending on the amount of the biocomposite, which was attributed to low pH. Biocomposite shows promise as biosorbent for the removal process of heavy metals.

Abstract
Aerobic granular sludge is a form of microbial auto-aggregation, and a promising biotechnology for wastewater treatment. This review aims at providing the first comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth overview on the application of aerobic granules as biosorbents. The target pollutants encompass heavy metals (both cationic and oxyanionic), nuclides, dyes, and inorganic non-metal substances. Different granule types are discussed, i.e. intact and fragmented, compact and fluffy, original and modified, and the effects of granule surface modification are introduced. A detailed comparison is conducted on the characteristics of granular biomass, the conditions of the adsorption tests, and the resultant performance towards various sorbates. Analytical and mathematical tools typically employed are presented, and possible interactions between the pollutants and granules are theorized, leading to an analysis on the mechanisms of the adsorption processes. Original granules appear highly effective towards cationic metals, while surface modification by organic and inorganic agents can expand their applicability to other pollutants. Combined with their advantages of high mechanical strength, density, and settling speed, aerobic granules possess exceptional potential in real wastewater treatment as biosorbents. Possible future research, both fundamental and practical, is suggested to gain more insights into the mechanism of their function, and to advance their industrial application.

Abstract
Circumneutral surface water and groundwater can contain hazardous concentrations of metals and metalloids that can threaten organisms in surrounding ecosystems. Extensive research has been conducted over the past two decades to prevent, limit, and treat water pollution. Among the currently available treatment options is the use of natural and residual materials, which is generally regarded as effective and inexpensive. The modification of such materials enhances the removal capacity of metals and metalloids, as well as the physical and chemical stability of the materials and resulting sludge (after treatment). This paper reviews several modified materials that have produced and evaluated in the past twenty years to treat various contaminants in water under specific conditions. Important factors on performance improvement following the modifications are emphasized. Sorption capacity and kinetics, and element removal mechanisms are also discussed. Element recovery, material regeneration, water reuse, evaluation of treatment efficiency for real effluents are also considered, as well as the applicability of these materials in both active and passive treatment systems. Modified natural and residual materials are a promising option for the treatment of metals and metalloids in circumneutral contaminated waters. However, further research is necessary to evaluate their field-scale performance and to properly assess treatment costs.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) uptake by plants is largely influenced by the presence of microbial consortia and their interactions with As. In the coastal region of Bengal deltaic plain of Eastern India, the As-contaminated groundwater is frequently used for irrigation purposes resulting in an elevated level of soil As in agricultural lands. The health hazards associated with As necessitates development of cost-effective remediation strategies to reclaim contaminated agricultural lands. Among the available technologies developed in recent times, bioremediation using bacteria has been found to be the most propitious. In this study, two As-resistant halophilic bacterial strains Kocuria flava AB402 and Bacillus vietnamensis AB403 were isolated, identified and characterized from mangrove rhizosphere of Sundarban. The isolates, AB402 and AB403, could tolerate 35mM and 20mM of arsenite, respectively. The effect of As on the exopolysaccharide (EPS) synthesis, biofilm formation, and root association was evaluated for both the bacterial strains. Arsenic adsorption on the cell surfaces and intracellular accumulation in both the bacterial strains were promising under culture conditions. Moreover, both the strains when used as inoculum, not only promoted the growth of rice seedlings but also decreased As uptake and accumulation in plants.

Abstract
Bioleaching is a proven bioprocess for metal recovery by solution from solid matrices, while a bioprecipitation or biomineralization approach is of potential for biorecovery from solution. Fungi can directly and indirectly mediate the formation of many kinds of minerals, including oxides, phosphates, carbonates and oxalates, as well as elemental forms of metals and metalloids such as Ag, Se and Te. Fungal capabilities may offer a potentially useful contribution to biotechnological and physico‐chemical methods for metal recovery.![]()

Abstract
The biosorption of arsenic (V) on nine chemically modified biomasses (with iron oxide coated) of mycelia fungi: Aspergillus flavus III, IV and V, Aspergillus fumigatus I-II, Paecilomyces sp., Cladosporium sp., Mucor sp-1 and 2 was studied in this work. This study provides evidence that the biomasses of the fungi A. flavus, IV, III and V, Paecilomyces sp., and A. fumigatus I were very efficient at removing 1 mg/L of the metal in solution, using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), achieving the following percentage of removals: 97.1, 92.3, 90.3, 89.0, and 83.4%, respectively. The results of adsorption were obtained at pH 6.0, 30 °C after 24 h of incubation, with 1 g/100 mL of fungal biomass. These results suggest the excellent potential of almost all isolated strains for bioremediation and removal of metals from contaminated sites.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) contamination in aqueous solutions has become an increasing public concern due to the immense harm to human health. Herein, bioaccumulation of arsenate (As(V)) by Rhizopus oryzae in aqueous systems was investigated under different environmental conditions, such as different pH's, ionic strengths, mycelia dosages, mycelia growths, and temperatures. The results showed that As(V) could be bioaccumulated efficiently by R. oryzae, and the maximum bioaccumulation capacity of As(V) in R. oryzae was 52.4 mg/g at T = 299 K, which was much higher than that for other biomaterials under similar conditions. R. oryzae generated a higher content of thiol compounds under As(V) stress to immobilize As(V) from aqueous solutions. X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy analysis indicated that As(V) was partly reduced to As(III) with increasing contact time, which increased As(V) bioaccumulation in mycelia. In addition, extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis showed that the As-S complex played an important role in As(V) immobilization by mycelia. This study provided an in-depth investigation of intracellular As speciation and coordination in R. oryzae on the molecular scale, which was crucial to understand the interaction mechanisms of As(V) with fungi during environmental cleanup.

Abstract
The efficiencies of free and immobilized microbial consortia in the degradation of different types of petroleum hydrocarbons were investigated. In this study, the biodegradation rates of naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene and crude oil reached about 80%, 30%, 56% and 48% under the optimum environmental conditions of free microbial consortia after 7 d. We evaluated five unique co-metabolic substances with petroleum hydrocarbons, α-lactose was the best co-metabolic substance among glucose, α-lactose, soluble starch, yeast powder and urea. The orthogonal biodegradation analysis results showed that semi-coke was the best immobilized carrier followed by walnut shell and activated carbon. Meanwhile, the significance of various factors that contribute to the biodegradation of semi-coke immobilized microbial consortia followed the order of: α-lactose > semi-coke > sodium alginate > CaCl2. Moreover, the degradation rate of the immobilized microbial consortium (47%) was higher than that of a free microbial consortium (26%) under environmental conditions such as the crude oil concentration of 3 g L(-1), NaCl concentration of 20 g L(-1), pH at 7.2-7.4 and temperature of 25 °C after 5 d. SEM and FTIR analyses revealed that the structure of semi-coke became more porous and easily adhered to the microbial consortium; the functional groups (e.g., hydroxy and phosphate) were identified in the microbial consortium and were changed by immobilization. This study demonstrated that the ability of microbial adaptation to the environment can be improved by immobilization which expands the application fields of microbial remediation.

Abstract
Chitosan is of importance for the elimination of heavy metals due to their outstanding characteristics such as the presence of NH2 and -OH functional groups, non-toxicity, low cost and, large available quantities. Modifying a chitosan structure with -COOH group improves it in terms of solubility at pH ≤7 without affecting the aforementioned characteristics. Chitosan modified with a carboxylic group possess carboxyl, amino and hydroxyl multifunctional groups which are good for elimination of metal ions. The focal point of this mini-review will be on the preparation and characterization of some carboxylate chitosan derivatives as a sorbent for heavy metal sorption.

Abstract
Biological methods have been successfully used to mitigate heavy metal pollution problem in wastewater. The present study was aimed towards isolation of a novel indigenous bacterial strain, Acinetobacter guillouiae from activated sludge and its subsequent application in remediation of copper (Cu(2+)) from aqueous solution. Kinetic study of bioremediation was performed for initial Cu(2+) concentrations ranging from 40 to 150 mg L(-1). Optimum values of nutrient dosage, pH, macronutrients [Nitrogen (N)-Phosphorus (P)-Potassium (K)] dosage, aerobic and facultative anaerobic conditions, temperature, and inoculum volume were determined by conducting separate batch bioremediation studies at 80 mg L(-1) initial concentration of Cu(2+). Kinetic study showed that A. guillouiae removed 98.7 % Cu(2+) for 80 mg L(-1) initial concentration of Cu(2+) after 16 h at an optimum solution pH of 7.0. Results also revealed that A. guillouiae showed maximum growth at double the standard composition of N, P and standard composition of K in nutrient dosage. Experimental data obtained in present study were utilized to validate different growth kinetic models such as Monod, Powell, Haldane, Luong, and Edwards. Growth kinetics of A. guillouiae was better understood by Luong model (R (2) = 0.97). Higher values of coefficient of determination (R (2) = 0.97-0.99) confirmed the suitability of the three-half-order kinetic model for representing the Cu(2+) bioremediation. A. guillouiae showed a robust removal mechanism for the bioremediation of Cu(2+).
