Enhancing iron biogeochemical cycling for canga ecosystem restoration: insights from microbial stimuli. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1352792.

Abstract
Introduction The microbial-induced restoration of ferruginous crusts (canga), which partially cover iron deposits and host unique ecosystems, is a promising alternative for reducing the environmental impacts of the iron mining industry. Methods To investigate the potential of microbial action to accelerate the reduction and oxidation of iron in substrates rich in hematite and goethite, four different microbial treatments (water only as a control - W; culture medium only - MO; medium + microbial consortium - MI; medium + microbial consortium + soluble iron - MIC) were periodically applied to induce iron dissolution and subsequent precipitation. Except for W, all the treatments resulted in the formation of biocemented blocks. Results MO and MI treatments resulted in significant goethite dissolution, followed by precipitation of iron oxyhydroxides and an iron sulfate phase, due to iron oxidation, in addition to the preservation of microfossils. In the MIC treatment, biofilms were identified, but with few mineralogical changes in the iron-rich particles, indicating less iron cycling compared to the MO or MI treatment. Regarding microbial diversity, iron-reducing families, such as Enterobacteriaceae, were found in all microbially treated substrates. Discussion However, the presence of Bacillaceae indicates the importance of fermentative bacteria in accelerating the dissolution of iron minerals. The acceleration of iron cycling was also promoted by microorganisms that couple nitrate reduction with Fe(II) oxidation. These findings demonstrate a sustainable and streamlined opportunity for restoration in mining areas.

Phosphate additives promote humic acid carbon and nitrogen skeleton formation by regulating precursors and composting bacterial communities. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 399:130617. [PMID: 38513923 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130617] [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: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effect of different phosphate additives including superphosphate (CP) and MP [Mg(OH)2 + H3PO4] on nitrogen conversion, humus fractions formation and bacterial community in food waste compost. The results showed the ratio of humic acid nitrogen in total nitrogen (HA-N/TN) in CP increased by 49 %. Ammonium nitrogen accumulation was increased by 75 % (CP) and 44 % (MP). Spectroscopic techniques proved that phosphate addition facilitated the formation of complex structures in HA. CP enhanced the dominance of Saccharomonospora, while Thermobifida and Bacillus were improved in MP. Structural equation modeling and network analysis demonstrated that ammonium nitrogen can be converted to HA-N and has positive effects on bacterial composition, reducing sugars and amino acids, especially in CP with more clustered network and synergic bacterial interactions. Therefore, the addition of phosphate provides a new idea to regulate the retained nitrogen toward humification in composting.

Abstract
Metal(loid) discharge has led to severe coastal contamination; however, there remains a significant knowledge gap regarding its impact on sediment profiles and depth-resolved bacterial communities. In this study, geochemical measurements (pH, nutrient elements, total and bioavailable metal(loid) content) consistently revealed decreasing nitrogen, phosphorus, and metal(loid) levels with sediment depth, accompanied by reduced alpha diversity. Principal coordinate analysis indicated distinct community compositions with varying sediment depths, suggesting a geochemical influence on diversity. Ecological niche width expanded with depth, favoring specialists over generalists, but both groups decreased in abundance. Taxonomic shifts emerged, particularly in phyla and families, correlated with sediment depth. Microbe-microbe interactions displayed intricate dynamics, with keystone taxa varying by sediment layer. Zinc and arsenic emerged as key factors impacting community diversity and composition using random forest, network analysis, and Mantel tests. Functional predictions revealed shifts in potential phenotypes related to mobile elements, biofilm formation, pathogenicity, N/P/S cycles, and metal(loid) resistance along sediment profiles. Neutral and null models demonstrated a transition from deterministic to stochastic processes with sediment layers. This study provides insights into the interplay between sediment geochemistry and bacterial communities across sediment depths, illuminating the factors shaping these ecosystems.

Abstract
The complexity of crude oil composition, combined with the fluctuating oxygen level in contaminated environments, poses challenges for the bioremediation of oil pollutants, because of compound-specific microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons under certain conditions. As a result, facultative bacteria capable of breaking down petroleum hydrocarbons under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions are presumably effective, however, this hypothesis has not been directly tested. In the current investigation, Shewanella putrefaciens CN32, a facultative anaerobic bacterium, was used to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons aerobically (using O2 as an electron acceptor) and anaerobically (using Fe(III) as an electron acceptor). Under aerobic conditions, CN32 degraded more saturates (65.65 ± 0.01%) than aromatics (43.86 ± 0.03%), with the following order of degradation: dibenzofurans > n-alkanes > biphenyls > fluorenes > naphthalenes > alkylcyclohexanes > dibenzothiophenes > phenanthrenes. In contrast, under anaerobic conditions, CN32 exhibited a higher degradation of aromatics (53.94 ± 0.02%) than saturates (23.36 ± 0.01%), with the following order of degradation: dibenzofurans > fluorenes > biphenyls > naphthalenes > dibenzothiophenes > phenanthrenes > n-alkanes > alkylcyclohexanes. The upregulation of 4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoate decarboxylase (ubiD), which plays a crucial role in breaking down resistant aromatic compounds, was correlated with the anaerobic degradation of aromatics. At the molecular level, CN32 exhibited a higher efficiency in degrading n-alkanes with low and high carbon numbers relative to those with medium carbon chain lengths. In addition, the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions became increasingly difficult with increased numbers of benzene rings and methyl groups. This study offers a potential solution for the development of targeted remediation of pollutants under oscillating redox conditions.

Abstract
Freshwater wetlands are the wetland ecosystems surrounded by freshwater, which are at the interface of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, and are rich in ecological composition and function. Biodiversity in freshwater wetlands plays a key role in maintaining the stability of their habitat functions. Due to anthropogenic interference and global change, the biodiversity of freshwater wetlands decreases, which in turn destroys the habitat function of freshwater wetlands and leads to serious degradation of wetlands. An in-depth understanding of the effects of biodiversity on the stability of habitat function and its regulation in freshwater wetlands is crucial for wetland conservation. Therefore, this paper reviews the environmental drivers of habitat function stability in freshwater wetlands, explores the effects of plant diversity and microbial diversity on habitat function stability, reveals the impacts and mechanisms of habitat changes on biodiversity, and further proposes an outlook for freshwater wetland research. This paper provides an important reference for freshwater wetland conservation and its habitat function enhancement.

Effects of aeration modes and rates on nitrogen conversion and bacterial community in composting of dehydrated sludge and corn straw. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1372568.

Abstract
Aeration is an important factor to regulate composting efficiency and nitrogen loss. This study is aimed to compare the effects of different aeration modes (continuous and intermittent) and aeration rate on nitrogen conversion and bacterial community in composting from dehydrated sludge and corn straw. Results showed that the intermittent aeration mode at same aeration volume was superior to the continuous aeration mode in terms of NH3 emission reduction, nitrogen conversion and germination index (GI) improvement. Intermittent aeration mode with 1200 L/h (aeration 5 min, stop 15 min) [K5T15 (V1200)] and 300 L/h of continuous aeration helped to the conservation of nitrogen fractions and accelerate the composting process. However, it was most advantageous to use 150 L/h of continuous aeration to reduce NH3 emission and ensure the effective composting process. The aeration mode K5T15 (V1200) showed the fastest temperature rise, the longer duration of thermophilic stage and the highest GI (95%) in composting. The cumulative NH3 emission of intermittent aeration mode was higher than continuous aeration mode. The cumulative NH3 emission of V300 was 23.1% lower than that of K5T15 (V1200). The dominant phyla in dehydrated sludge and corn straw composting were Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. The dominant phylum in the thermophilic stage was Firmicutes (49.39%~63.13%), and the dominant genus was Thermobifida (18.62%~30.16%). The relative abundance of Firmicutes was greater in the intermittent aeration mode (63.13%) than that in the continuous aeration mode (57.62%), and Pseudomonas was dominant in composting with lower aeration rate and the lowest NH3 emission. This study suggested that adjustment to the aeration mode and rate could affect core bacteria to reduce the nitrogen loss and accelerate composting process.

Spatiotemporal successions of N, S, C, Fe, and As cycling genes in groundwater of a wetland ecosystem: Enhanced heterogeneity in wet season. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 251:121105.

Abstract
Microorganisms in wetland groundwater play an essential role in driving global biogeochemical cycles. However, largely due to the dynamics of spatiotemporal surface water-groundwater interaction, the spatiotemporal successions of biogeochemical cycling in wetland groundwater remain poorly delineated. Herein, we investigated the seasonal coevolution of hydrogeochemical variables and microbial functional genes involved in nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, iron, and arsenic cycling in groundwater within a typical wetland, located in Poyang Lake Plain, China. During the dry season, the microbial potentials for dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium and ammonification were dominant, whereas the higher potentials for nitrogen fixation, denitrification, methane metabolism, and carbon fixation were identified in the wet season. A likely biogeochemical hotspot was identified in the area located in the low permeable aquifer near the lake, characterized by reducing conditions and elevated levels of Fe2+ (6.65-17.1 mg/L), NH4+ (0.57-3.98 mg/L), total organic carbon (1.02-1.99 mg/L), and functional genes. In contrast to dry season, higher dissimilarities of functional gene distribution were observed in the wet season. Multivariable statistics further indicated that the connection between the functional gene compositions and hydrogeochemical variables becomes less pronounced as the seasons transition from dry to wet. Despite this transition, Fe2+ remained the dominant driving force on gene distribution during both seasons. Gene-based co-occurrence network displayed reduced interconnectivity among coupled C-N-Fe-S cycles from the dry to the wet season, underpinning a less complex and more destabilizing occurrence pattern. The rising groundwater level may have contributed to a reduction in the stability of functional microbial communities, consequently impacting ecological functions. Our findings shed light on microbial-driven seasonal biogeochemical cycling in wetland groundwater.

Deterministic factors modulating assembly of groundwater microbial community in a nitrogen-contaminated and hydraulically-connected river-lake-floodplain ecosystem. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 347:119210.

Abstract
The river-lake-floodplain system (RLFS) undergoes intensive surface-groundwater mass and energy exchanges. Some freshwater lakes are groundwater flow-through systems, serving as sinks for nitrogen (N) entering the lake. Despite the threat of cross-nitrogen contamination, the assembly of the microbial communities in the RLFS was poorly understood. Herein, the distribution, co-occurrence, and assembly pattern of microbial community were investigated in a nitrogen-contaminated and hydraulically-connected RLFS. The results showed that nitrate was widely distributed with greater accumulation on the south than on the north side, and ammonia was accumulated in the groundwater discharge area (estuary and lakeshore). The heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria and aerobic denitrifying bacteria were distributed across the entire area. In estuary and lakeshore with low levels of oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and high levels of total organic carbon (TOC) and ammonia, dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) bacteria were enriched. The bacterial community had close cooperative relationships, and keystone taxa harbored nitrate reduction potentials. Combined with multivariable statistics and self-organizing map (SOM) results, ammonia, TOC, and ORP acted as drivers in the spatial evolution of the bacterial community, coincidence with the predominant deterministic processes and unique niche breadth for microbial assembly. This study provides novel insight into the traits and assembly of bacterial communities and potential nitrogen cycling capacities in RLFS groundwater.
