ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 237:116884. [PMID: 37574098 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
Thermally enhanced anoxic biodegradation is emerging as a promising method for removing PAHs from subsurface soil. However, some PAHs still remain in soil following remediation with thermally enhanced anoxic degradation due to low bioavailability of these residual PAHs. The effects of five surfactants (Tween 80, TX 100, Brij 30, SDS, and SDBS) on the desorption of PAHs, anoxic degradation of PAHs, and native bacteria in soil at high temperature (60 °C) were evaluated in this study. The desorption of PAHs in soil increased as surfactant concentration increased. Low doses of surfactants (0.08%, w/w) enhanced the growth of potential PAHs degrading bacteria and promoted the anoxic degradation of PAHs, whereas high doses of surfactants (0.3%-0.8%, w/w) displayed the opposite effect, and the degree of inhibition increased with increasing surfactant concentration. The results also indicated that the inhibitory effect of anionic surfactants (SDS and SDBS) on microbial growth and PAHs degradation is stronger than that of nonionic surfactants (Tween 80, TX 100 and Brij 30) at the same concentration. These results suggest a feasible way of enhancing the anoxic degradation of PAHs in soil where heat cannot be effectively utilized when in situ thermal desorption (ISTD) technology is used.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 313:137318. [PMID: 36410525 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Organic contaminants (OCs) are ubiquitous in the environment, posing severe threats to human health and ecological balance. In particular, OCs and their metabolites could interact with genetic materials to induce genotoxicity, which has attracted considerable attention. In this review, bibliometric analysis was executed to analyze the publications on the genotoxicity of OCs in soil from 1992 to 2021. The result indicated that significant contributions were made by China and the United States in this field and the research hotspots were biological risks, damage mechanisms, and testing methods. Based on this, in this review, we summarized the manifestations and influencing factors of genotoxicity of OCs to soil organisms, the main damage mechanisms, and the most commonly utilized testing methods. OCs can induce genotoxicity and the hierarchical response of soil organisms, which could be influenced by the physicochemical properties of OCs and the properties of soil. Specific mechanisms of genotoxicity can be classified into DNA damage, epigenetic toxicity, and chromosomal aberrations. OCs with different molecular weights lead to genetic material damage by inducing the generation of ROS or forming adducts with DNA, respectively. The micronucleus test and the comet test are the most commonly used testing methods. Moreover, this review also pointed out that future studies should focus on the relationships between bioaccessibilities and genotoxicities, transcriptional regulatory factors, and potential metabolites of OCs to elaborate on the biological risks and mechanisms of genotoxicity from an overall perspective.

Abstract
Organic contaminated soils constitute an important environmental problem, whereas field applicability of existing physical-chemical methods has encountered numerous obstacles, such as high chemical cost, large energy consumption, secondary pollution, and soil degradation. Bioaugmentation is an environmentally friendly and potentially economic technology that efficiently removes toxic pollutants from organic contaminated soils by microorganisms or their enzymes and bioremediation additives. This review attempted to explore the recent advances in bioaugmentation of organic contaminated soils and provided a comprehensive summary of various bioaugmentation methods, including bacterial, fungus, enzymes and bioremediation additives. The practical application of bioaugmentation is frequently limited by soil environmental conditions, microbial relationships, enzyme durability and remediation cycles. To tackle these problems, the future of bioaugmentation can be processed from sustainability of broad-spectrum bioremediation carriers, microbial/enzyme agents targeting combined contaminants, desorption of environmentally friendly additives and small molecular biological stimulants. Findings of this research are expected to provide new references for bioaugmentation methods that are practically feasible and economically potential.

Abstract
In this study, the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil washing solution containing Tween 80 was conducted using native mixed bacteria (Pseudomonas sp. Z1, Sphingobacterium sp. Z2, and Klebsiella sp. K) embedded in polyvinyl alcohol-sodium alginate-nano alumina (PVA-SA-ALNPs) gel beads. The optimal dosage of immobilized beads and embedded biomass for the biodegradation of phenanthrene (PHE), fluoranthene (FLU), and pyrene (PYR) were 10 % (v/v) and 20 % (v/v), respectively. SEM analysis showed that the porous structure of the immobilized beads was a cross-linked network with abundant pores that provided many potential adhesion sites for microorganisms. The beads with the immobilized mixed bacteria maintained a high activity during batch experiments and could even be reused for 3 cycles (90 d). Compared with the beads containing individual immobilized strain, the immobilized mixed bacteria showed a more efficient biodegradation of PHE (91.67 %), FLU (88.6 %), and PYR (88.5 %) in synthetic soil washing effluent within 30 d. The first-order kinetic model suitably described the degradation process of the three target PAHs. By adding Tween 80 to the synthetic eluent, the degradation of PHE, FLU, and PYR increased by 16.39 %, 22.25 %, and 21.29 %, respectively, indicating that Tween 80 promoted PAHs biodegradation, even though it was also rapidly degraded during the reaction cycle. These findings suggest that the developed mixed bacteria embedded in PVA-SA-ALNPs gel beads has great potential for PAHs remediation.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) encompass a diverse group of compounds, often found in historically contaminated sites. Different experimental techniques have been used to remediate PACs-contaminated soils. This brief review surveyed over 270 studies concerning remediation of PACs-contaminated soils and found that, while these studies often measured the concentration of 16 parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pre- and post-remediation, only a fraction of the studies included the measurement of PAC-transformation products (PAC-TPs) and other PACs (n = 33). Only a few studies also incorporated genotoxicity/toxicity/mutagenicity analysis pre- and post-remediation (n = 5). Another aspect that these studies often neglected to include was bioavailability, as none of the studies that included measurement of PAH-TPs and PACs included bioavailability investigation. Based on the literature analysis, future remediation studies need to consider chemical analysis of PAH-TPs and PACs, genotoxicity/toxicity/mutagenicity, and bioavailability analyses pre- and post-remediation. These assessments will help address numerous concerns including, among others, the presence, properties, and toxicity of PACs and PAH-TPs, risk assessment of soil post-remediation, and the bioavailability of PAH-TPs. Other supplementary techniques that help assist these analyses and recommendations for future analyses are also discussed.

Abstract
The release of toxic organic compounds into the environment in an event of oil spillage is a global menace due to the potential impacts on the ecosystem. Several approaches have been employed for oil spills clean-up, with adsorption technique proven to be more promising for the total reclamation of a polluted site. Of the several adsorbents so far reported, adsorbent-based porous materials have gained attention for the reduction/total removal of different compounds in environmental remediation applications. The superior potential of mesoporous materials based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) against conventional adsorbents is due to their intriguing and enhanced properties. Therefore, this review presents recent development in MOF composites; methods of preparation; and their practical applications towards remediating oil spill, organic pollutants, and toxic gases in different environmental media, as well as potential materials in the possible deployment in reclaiming the polluted Niger Delta due to unabated oil spillage and gas flaring.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used classical broad-spectrum anticancer drug. The major mechanism of DOX-mediated anticancer activity at clinically relevant concentrations is believed to be via DNA double-strand breaks due to topoisomerase IIα. However, other mechanisms by which DOX causes cytotoxicity have been proposed, including formaldehyde-dependent virtual interstrand cross-linking (ICL) formation. In this study, a method was established whereby cytotoxicity caused by virtual ICL derived from DOX is turned on and off using a cell culture system. Using this strategy, DOX-mediated cytotoxicity in Fanconi anemia group gene (FANC)/breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA)-deficient cells increased up to 70-fold compared to that in cells proficient in DNA repair pathways by increasing intracellular formaldehyde (FA) concentration. This approach also demonstrated that cytotoxicity introduced by DOX-mediated FA-dependent virtual ICL is completely independent of the toxicity induced by topoisomerase II inhibition at the cellular level. The potential of dual-targeting by DOX treatment was verified using an acid-specific FA donor. Overall, anticancer therapy targeting tumors deficient in the FANC/BRCA pathway may be possible by minimizing DOX-induced toxicity in normal cells.

Abstract
Aberrant signaling by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is associated with inflammatory diseases that can be treated with engineered proteins that inhibit binding of this cytokine to cell-surface receptors. Despite these clinical successes, there is considerable interest in the development of smaller antagonists of TNFα-receptor interactions. We describe a new 29-residue α/β-peptide, a molecule that contains three β-amino acid residues and three α-aminoisobutryic acid (Aib) residues, that displays potent inhibition of TNFα binding to TNFα receptor 1 (TNFR1) and rescues cells from TNFα-induced death. The complement of nonproteinogenic residues renders this α/β-peptide highly resistant to proteolysis, relative to all-α analogues. The mechanism of inhibitory action of the new 29-mer involves disruption of the trimeric TNFα quaternary structure, which prevents productive binding to TNFα receptors. Unexpectedly, we discovered that peptide-induced trimer disruption can be promoted by structurally diverse small molecules, including a detergent commonly used during selection procedures. The discovery of this synergistic effect provides a new context for understanding previous reports on peptidic antagonists of TNFα-receptor interactions and suggests new avenues for future efforts to block signaling via proteins with an active form that is oligomeric, including other members of the TNFα family.

Abstract
We studied how sunflower plants affect rhamnolipid biosurfactant mobilization of slowly desorbing fractions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil from a creosote-contaminated site. Desorption kinetics of 13 individual PAHs revealed that the soil contained initially up to 50% slowly desorbing fractions. A rhamnolipid biosurfactant was applied to the soil at the completion of the sunflower cycle (75 days in greenhouse conditions). After this period, the PAHs that remained in the soil were mainly present in a slowly desorbing form as a result of the efficient biodegradation of fast-desorbing PAHs by native microbial populations. The rhamnolipid enhanced the bioavailable fraction of the remaining PAHs by up to 30%, as evidenced by a standardized desorption extraction with Tenax, but the enhancement occurred with only planted soils. The enhanced bioavailability did not decrease residual PAH concentrations under greenhouse conditions, possibly due to ecophysiological limitations in the biodegradation process that were independent of the bioavailability. However, biodegradation was enhanced during slurry treatment of greenhouse planted soils that received the biosurfactant. The addition of rhamnolipids caused a dramatic shift in the soil bacterial community structure, which was magnified in the presence of sunflower plants. The stimulated groups were identified as fast-growing and catabolically versatile bacteria. This new rhizosphere microbial biomass possibly interacted with the biosurfactant to facilitate intra-aggregate diffusion of PAHs, thus enhancing the kinetics of slow desorption. Our results show that the usually limited biosurfactant efficiency with contaminated field soils can be significantly enhanced by integrating the sunflower ontogenetic cycle into the bioremediation design.

Abstract
Bioremediation of contaminated soils has gained increasing interest in recent years as a low-cost and environmentally friendly technology to clean soils polluted with anthropogenic contaminants. However, some organic pollutants in soil have a low biodegradability or are not bioavailable, which hampers the use of bioremediation for their removal. This is the case of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which normally are stable and hydrophobic chemical structures. In this review, several approaches for the decontamination of PAH-polluted soil are presented and discussed in detail. The use of compost as biostimulation- and bioaugmentation-coupled technologies are described in detail, and some parameters, such as the stability of compost, deserve special attention to obtain better results. Composting as an ex situ technology, with the use of some specific products like surfactants, is also discussed. In summary, the use of compost and composting are promising technologies (in all the approaches presented) for the bioremediation of PAH-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Apparent solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic compounds are the major problems in the bioremediation process, which could be overcome by the bacteria capable of biosurfactant production and concurrent hydrocarbon degradation. In this work, we constructed an artificial bacterial consortium containing Lysinibacillus, Paenibacillus, Gordonia and Cupriavidus spp. from glyceryl tributyrate enriched bacteria collected from the non-contaminated site. The consortium was capable of using common raw materials (olive oil, paraffin oil, and glycerol) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons pollutants (naphthalene and anthracene) as the sole carbon source with simultaneous biosurfactant production. Two new lipopeptide isoforms, containing heptapeptide and lipid moieties, were structurally elucidated by LC-MS/MS, FTIR, NMR and molecular networking analysis. Our findings indicate that hydrocarbons degradation and biosurfactant production is an intrinsic property of non-contaminated soil community. Interestingly, we observed the hyper chemotactic activity of Lysinibacillus strains towards glyceryl tributyrate, which has not been reported before. The study may deepen our understanding of microbial strains and consortium with the potential to be used for bioremediation of hydrocarbons contaminated environments.

Abstract
The hydrophobic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are apt to adhere tightly to the sediments in aquifer and thus pose great threats to the aquatic environment of groundwater and surface water as well as human health. The present study constructed functionalized microbubbles, named colloidal ozone aphrons (COAs), by dissolving ozone-contained air into the nonionic surfactant (Tween-20) solution at the pressure of 300 kPa for the in situ remediation of phenanthrene (PHE)-contaminated sediments. The COA system aimed at improving the PHE elimination in terms of (i) enhancing the migration and transportation ability of the bubble system in the contaminated aquifer matrix, (ii) accurately desorbing the target hydrophobic contaminants from sediments, and (iii) reinforcing the in situ oxidation degradation immediately after or simultaneously when the PAHs are desorbed into the aqueous phase. Experimental results demonstrated that the COAs exhibited similar characteristics as the classical colloidal gas aphrons (CGAs), including the high stability (half-life time > 200 s), typical morphology and average bubble size (114-162 μm); higher air hold-up of COAs was achieved (i. e. > 20%) compared with the air-microbubbles (1-2%) obtained under the same generation conditions. Although the encapsulated ozone could oxidize the surfactant-layers, the properties and behaviors of COAs were not greatly affected. The surfactant multi-layers endowed the COAs with strong hydrophobic attraction with PHE, great migration capacity and enlarged oxidation area in the sediment matrix. Approximately 96.9% of PHE was removed from the sediments and 84.9% of the overall PHE was oxidized at the high ozone concentration of 0.6 mg/L when the initial PHE concentration was 240.0 μg/kg. The COA-involved remediation technology provided the insight of combining the processes of washing and oxidizing through adopting the particularly conceived microbubbles. The in situ and selective removal of hydrophobic organic contaminants from sediments in aquifer was well achieved in this study.

Abstract
Because of their toxic properties, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are designated as priority pollutants. The low solubility and strong sorption of PAHs in soil often limits bioremediation. To increase PAH bioavailability and enhance microbial degradation, surfactants are often added to contaminated soils. However, the effects of surfactants on the PAH degradation capacities of soil microbes are generally neglected. In this study, 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing was used to evaluate changes in the soil microbial community after the application of rhamnolipid biosurfactant or Brij-35 surfactant and Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1 bioaugmentation over a 50-d mineralization study in two soils contaminated with pyrene at 10 mg kg-1. The introduction of pyrene in both soils resulted in an increase in Firmicutes and a decrease in microbial richness and Shannon diversity index. Amendment of rhamnolipid at 1,400 μg g-1 to the native clay soil resulted in a decrease in Bacillus from 48% to 2%, which was accompanied with an increase in Mycoplana that accounted for 67% of the total genera relative abundance. Phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states was used to predict the activity of functional genes involved in the PAH degradation KEGG pathway and determined that M. vanbaalenii PYR-1 bioaugmentation resulted in an increased number of functional genes utilized in PAH biodegradation. Results of this study provide a better understanding of the soil microbial dynamics in response to surfactant amendments in addition to bioaugmentation of a PAH-degrading microbe. This knowledge contributes to successful and efficient surfactant-enhanced bioremediation of PAH-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Soil, exposed to petroleum oil contaminants (in the form of petrol, diesel, gasoline, crude oil, used motor oil), may cause potential damage to the environment, animal and human health. In this review article, mechanisms of the petroleum oil contaminant removal from soil by chemical surfactant systems such as surfactant solution, surfactant foam and nanoparticle stabilized surfactant foams are explained. Laboratory based research works, reported within the last decade on the application of similar systems towards the removal of petroleum oil contaminant from the soil, have been discussed. It is an important fact that the commercial implementation of the chemical surfactant based technology depends on the environmental properties (biodegradability and toxicity) of the surfactants. In recent times, surfactant foam and nanoparticle stabilized surfactant foam are becoming more popular and considered advantageous over the use of surfactant solution alone. However, more research works have to be conducted on nanoparticle stabilized foam. The impact of physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles on soil remediation has to be explored in depth.

Abstract
The application of a rhamnolipid biosurfactant for enhanced solubilization and biodegradation of slowly desorbing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated soils was determined in this study. The soil samples exhibited different levels of pollution and different bioremediation stages: the first soil originated from a creosote-polluted site, contained 4370 mg kg -1 of PAHs and had not been bioremediated; the second soil was the same as the first but had received bioremediation treatment with nutrient amendment in biopiles for a period of 5 months and contained 580 mg kg -1 of PAHs after this treatment; the third soil was treated by bioremediation for several years to reduce the concentration of PAHs to 275 mg kg -1. The kinetics of PAH desorption were determined to assess the magnitude of the slowly desorbing fractions present in the polluted soil and to optimize the biosurfactant effectiveness in terms of biodegradation. The soils that had been treated by bioremediation were enriched in slowly desorbing PAHs. The rhamnolipid at a concentration above its critical micelle concentration enhanced biodegradation in the soils that had been bioremediated previously. The measurement of residual concentrations of native PAHs showed the promoting effect of the biosurfactant on the biodegradation of the slowly desorbing fractions. Interestingly, benzo(a)pyrene was biodegraded in the soil that had been bioremediated for a long time. Rhamnolipid can constitute a valid alternative to chemical surfactants in promoting the biodegradation of slow-desorption PAHs, which is one of the most important problems in bioremediation, but the efficiency depends strongly on the bioremediation stage in which the biosurfactant is applied.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the desorption and biodegradability of phenanthrene sorbed to biochars by employing two approaches that may change the desorption and biodegradability: the use of powdered biochars and nonionic surfactants. Biochars derived from two feedstocks (rice husk and sewage sludge; pyrolyzed at 500 °C but showing different aromaticity) were used. When the biochars were powdered to obtain particles <250 μm the mass fractions of the desorbed phenanthrene at ∼80 days (fdes) increased from 0.303 to 0.431 for sewage sludge biochars. On the other hand, fdes for rice husk biochars remained virtually unchanged (from 0.264 to 0.255). The mass fractions of the biodegraded phenanthrene (fbio) increased from 0.191 to 0.306 for rice husk biochars and from 0.077 to 0.168 for sewage sludge biochars. When a nonionic surfactant was added at the sub-critical micelle concentration (CMC), fbio increased by 4.7 times and 8.3 times for rice husk and sewage sludge biochars. For both types of biochars, fbio was larger than fdes when the surfactant was added. This study suggests that the addition of nonionic surfactants can be considered if the inhibition of microbial activity is of concern in soils and sediments treated by biochar.

Abstract
An enhanced bioremediation strategy was applied to an industrial soil co-contaminated with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs). Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) and a natural mixture of two rhamnolipids (RL) were added to increase PAHs bioavailability, and combined with a microbial consortium (MC) to biodegrade soil PAHs. Bioavailability of only six PAHs (3-, 4-ring PAHs) increased when using HPBCD, with a maximum increase about 2.8-fold higher. The highest dose of HPBCD (5%) enhanced PAH degradation, with the best results for 4-ring PAHs with treatments of HPBCD + MC (up to 48% degradation for pyrene and 43% for fluoranthene), whereas dissipation for 5-ring PAHs was very low and for 6-ring was negligible. The use of RL increased the bioavailability of 13 of the 16 PAHs studied, reaching up to 60-fold higher values for phenanthrene or 18-fold higher for acenaphtene. RL addition did not show degradation improvement in any situation, and even inhibited the scarce degradation observed in the control treatment. The high increase in availability of both PAHs and mainly PTEs when using RL as amendment could make them toxic for microorganisms. In fact, Microtox Acute Toxicity test using Aliivibrio fischeri and the absence of colony forming units (CFUs) of indigenous bacteria demonstrated the extremely high levels of toxicity in RL treated soil.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive derivative synchronous fluorescence spectrometry with double scans (DS-DSFS) method was developed for simultaneous determination of dissolved Phenanthrene (Phe) and its metabolites 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (1H2NA) and salicylic acid (SA) in aqueous solution. The value of 69 nm was selected as the optimal Δλ conditions for Phe and 1H2NA, and the Δλ value of 55 nm was selected for SA. The overlapping fluorescence emission spectra of Phe, 1H2NA and SA were resolved by DS-DSFS. The signals detected at wavelength of 296 nm for Phe, 352 nm for 1H2NA and 307 nm for SA vary linearly when the concentrations in the range of 4.0-1.0 × 103 μg L-1, 4.0-1.2 × 103 μg L-1 and 4.0-8.0 × 102 μg L-1, respectively. The detection limits were 0.08, 0.07 and 0.88 μg L-1 for Phe, 1H2NA and SA, with the relatively standard deviations less than 5.0%. The established method was successfully applied in the determination of Phe and the metabolites during the biodegradation of dissolved Phe in the lab. It was evidenced that the method has potential for the in situ investigation of PAH biodegradation.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants in soil and are considered priority pollutants due to their carcinogenicity. Bioremediation of PAH-contaminated soils is often limited by the low solubility and strong sorption of PAHs in soil. Synthetic surfactants and biosurfactants have been used to enhance the bioavailability of PAHs and to accelerate microbial degradation. However, few studies have compared synthetic and biosurfactants in their efficiency in promoting PAH biodegradation in either native or bioaugmented soils. In this study, we evaluated mineralization of 14C-pyrene in soils with or without the augmentation of Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1, and characterized the effect of Brij-35 (synthetic) and rhamnolipid biosurfactant at different amendment rates. Treatment of rhamnolipid biosurfactant at 140 or 1400 μg surfactant g-dry soil-1 rates resulted in a significantly longer lag period in 14C-pyrene mineralization in both native and bioaugmented soils. In contrast, amendment of Brij-35 generally increased 14C-pyrene degradation, and the greatest enhancement occurred at 21.6 or 216 μg surfactant g-dry soil-1 rates, which may be attributed to increased bioavailability. Brij-35 and rhamnolipid biosurfactant were found to be non-toxic to M. vanbaalenii PYR-1 at 10X CMC, thus indicating rhamnolipid biosurfactant likely served as a preferential carbon source to the degrading bacteria in place of 14C-pyrene, leading to delayed and inhibited 14C-pyrene degradation. Mineralization of 14C-pyrene by M. vanbaalenii PYR-1 was rapid in the unamended soils, and up to 60% of pyrene was mineralized to 14CO2 after 10 d in the unamended or Brij-35 surfactant-amended soils. Findings of this study suggest that application of surfactants may not always lead to enhanced PAH biodegradation or removal. If the surfactant is preferentially used as an easier carbon substrate than PAHs for soil microorganisms, it may actually inhibit PAH biodegradation. Selection of surfactant types is therefore crucial for the effectiveness of surfactant-aided bioremediation of PAH-contaminated soils.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to produce a microbial biosurfactant for use in the bioremediation of environments contaminated with petroleum products. Bacillus methylotrophicus was isolated from seawater taken from a port area and cultivated using industrial waste as substrate (corn steep liquor and sugarcane molasses [both at 3%]). Surface tension measurements and motor oil emulsification capacity were used for the evaluation of the production of the biosurfactant, which demonstrated stability in a broad range of pH and temperature as well as a high concentration of saline, with the reduction of the surface tension of water to 29 mN/m. The maximum concentration of biosurfactant (10.0 g/l) was reached after 144 h of cultivation. The biosurfactant was considered to be a lipopeptide based on the results of proton nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. The tests demonstrated that the biosurfactant is innocuous and has potential for the bioremediation of soil and water contaminated by petroleum products. Thus, the biosurfactant described herein has a low production cost and can be used in environmental processes.

Efficiency of surfactant-enhanced bioremediation of aged polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated soil: Link with bioavailability and the dynamics of the bacterial community.

Abstract
Shifts in the bacterial-community dynamics, bioavailability, and biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of chronically contaminated soil were analyzed in Triton X-100-treated microcosms at the critical micelle concentration (T-CMC) and at two sub-CMC doses. Only the sub-CMC-dose microcosms reached sorbed-PAH concentrations significantly lower than the control: 166±32 and 135±4mgkg-1 dry soil versus 266±51mgkg-1; consequently an increase in high- and low-molecular-weight PAHs biodegradation was observed. After 63days of incubation pyrosequencing data evidenced differences in diversity and composition between the surfactant-modified microcosms and the control, with those with sub-CMC doses containing a predominance of the orders Sphingomonadales, Acidobacteriales, and Gemmatimonadales (groups of known PAHs-degrading capability). The T-CMC microcosm exhibited a lower richness and diversity index with a marked predominance of the order Xanthomonadales, mainly represented by the Stenotrophomonas genus, a PAHs- and Triton X-100-degrading bacterium. In the T-CMC microcosm, whereas the initial surface tension was 35mNm-1, after 63days of incubation an increase up to 40mNm-1 was registered. The previous observation and the gas-chromatography data indicated that the surfactant may have been degraded at the CMC by a highly selective bacterial community with a consequent negative impact on PAHs biodegradation. This work obtained strong evidence for the involvement of physicochemical and biologic influences determining the different behaviors of the studied microcosms. The results reported here contribute significantly to an optimization of, surfactant-enhanced bioremediation strategies for chronically contaminated soil since the application of doses below the CMC would reduce the overall costs.

Abstract
Field-scale bioremediation of dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethanes (DDTs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated farmland soil from the Shenyang North New Area of China was studied using the bacteria Arthrobacter globiformis. The additive effects of different concentrations of biosurfactant rhamnolipids (RLs) and anionic-nonionic mixed surfactant (SDBS-Tween 80) were evaluated. DDT and PAH removal rates by A. globiformis after 150 days of remediation were 52.1% and 21.9%, respectively. At the optimum RL concentration of 5 mg kg-1, DDTs and PAHs had removal rates of 64.3% and 35.6%, respectively, at 150 days. This was 60.7% and 29.3% higher than the control; 36.9% and 19.8% higher than soil with RL-5 alone; and 12.2% and 13.8% higher than the A. globiformis treatment alone. RL-5 can enhance soil enzyme activity and A. globiformis reproduction during the DDT and PAH biodegradation processes. This study illustrates a highly efficient, low-cost in situ soil bioremediation technology that could have practical utility.

Abstract
Contamination of food-crops with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) poses a grave concern to food safety, especially when PAHs are internalized. We have demonstrated in our previous study that inoculation of crop with a phenanthrene-degrading endophytic Pseudomonas sp. Ph6-gfp could overcome this problem. Here, the subcellular distribution and biotransformation mechanism of phenanthrene in pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.) seedlings with inoculation of Ph6-gfp were further investigated both in vitro and in vivo. The possible biotransformation products of phenanthrene were identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) coupled with 13C2-phenanthrene labeling. Results indicated that Ph6-gfp colonized pakchoi interior and reduced the content of phenanthrene in different cell compartments. Notably, the inoculation hindered the subcellular distribution of phenanthrene from intercellular space to subcellular fractions (i.e., cell wall, cell membrane, cell solution, and cell organelles), likely resulting from the interception and biodegradation of phenanthrene by the bacterium between the cell wall and intercellular space. Additionally, the conjugation reactions of phenanthrene-metabolites and endogenous plant compounds were enhanced as a result of the inoculation. We propose that endophytic degradation, plant metabolism, and conjugation reaction are the three possible biotransformation mechanisms that could account for the changes in phenanthrene inside the plant cell compartments. This is the first observation of endophytic bacteria (EB)-enhanced biotransformation and conjugation of phenanthrene in pakchoi at the subcellular level, which drive novel insights in regulating food-crop contamination with endophytes in PAH-contaminated matrices.

Abstract
In this study, we report the ability of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Ochrobactrum anthropi, Pseudomonas mendocina, Microbacterium esteraromaticum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to degrade multiple polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in crude oil. The PAHs in the crude oil sample obtained from Digboi oil refinery, India were estimated to be naphthalene (10.0 mg L-1), fluorene (1.9 mg L-1), phenanthrene (3.5 mg L-1) and benzo(b)fluoranthene (6.5 mg L-1). Exposure of individual bacteria to crude oil showed high rate of biodegradation of specific PAHs by M. esteraromaticum, 81.4%-naphthalene; P. aeruginosa, 67.1%-phenanthrene and 61.0%-benzo(b)fluoranthene; S. maltophilia, 47.9%-fluorene in 45 days. However, consortium of these bacteria showed enhanced biodegradation of 89.1%-naphthalene, 63.8%-fluorene, 81% of phenanthrene and 72.8% benzo(b)fluoranthene in the crude oil. The degradation was further improved up to 10% by consortium on addition of 40 μg mL-1 rhamnolipid JBR-425 biosurfactant. These results suggest that the developed bacterial consortium has significant potential in PAH remediation.

Abstract
The bioavailability and bioaccessibility of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil underpin the risk assessment of contaminated land with these contaminants. Despite a significant volume of research conducted in the past few decades, comprehensive understanding of the factors controlling the behaviour of soil PAHs and a set of descriptive soil parameters to explain variations in PAH bioavailability and bioaccessibility are still lacking. This review focuses on the role of source materials on bioavailability and bioaccessibility of soil PAHs, which is often overlooked, along with other abiotic factors including contaminant concentration and mixture, soil composition and properties, as well as environmental factors. It also takes into consideration the implications of different types of risk assessment (ecological and human health) on bioavailability and bioaccessibility of PAHs in soil. We recommend that future research should (1) account for the effects of source materials on bioavailability and bioaccessibility of soil PAHs; (2) adopt non-disruptive methods to analyse soil components controlling PAH sequestration; (3) integrate both natural organic matter (NOM) and xenobiotic organic matter (XOM) while evaluating the influences of soil organic matter (SOM) on the behaviour of PAHs; and (4) consider the dissimilar desorption scenarios in ecological risk assessment and human health risk assessment while assessing PAH bioavailability and bioaccessibility.

Abstract
Contamination of soils with persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as organochlorine pesticide, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, halohydrocarbon, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is of increasing concern. Microbial degradation is potential mechanism for the removal of POPs, but it is often restricted by low bioavailability of POPs. Thus, it is important to enhance bioavailability of POPs in soil bioremediation. A series of reviews on bioavailability of POPs has been published in the past few years. However, bioavailability of POPs in relation to soil organic matter, minerals and soil microbes has been little studied. To fully understand POPs bioavailability in soil, research on interactions of POPs with soil components and microbial responses in bioavailability limitation conditions are needed. This review focuses on bioavailability mechanisms of POPs in terms of sorption, transport and microbial adaptation, which is particularly novel. In consideration of the significance of bioavailability, further studies should investigate the influence of various bioremediation strategies on POPs bioavailability.

Abstract
Bioremediation uses soil microorganisms to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into less toxic compounds and can be performed in situ, without the need for expensive infrastructure or amendments. This review provides insights into the cancer risks associated with PAH-contaminated soils and places bioremediation outcomes in a context relevant to human health. We evaluated which bioremediation strategies were most effective for degrading PAHs and estimated the cancer risks associated with PAH-contaminated soils. Cancer risk was statistically reduced in 89% of treated soils following bioremediation, with a mean degradation of 44% across the B2 group PAHs. However, all 180 treated soils had postbioremediation cancer risk values that exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) health-based acceptable risk level (by at least a factor of 2), with 32% of treated soils exceeding recommended levels by greater than 2 orders of magnitude. Composting treatments were most effective at biodegrading PAHs in soils (70% average reduction compared with 28-53% for the other treatment types), which was likely due to the combined influence of the rich source of nutrients and microflora introduced with organic compost amendments. Ultimately, bioremediation strategies, in the studies reviewed, were unable to successfully remove carcinogenic PAHs from contaminated soils to concentrations below the target cancer risk levels recommended by the USEPA.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic organic compounds that are widely present in the environment. The bioremediation of PAHs is an economical and environmentally friendly remediation technique, but it is limited because PAHs have low water solubility and fewer bioavailable properties. The solubility and bioavailability of PAHs can be increased by using surfactants to reduce surface tension and interfacial tension; this method is called surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER). The SER of PAHs is influenced by many factors such as the type and concentration of surfactants, PAH hydrophobicity, temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved organic matter and microbial community. Furthermore, as mixed micelles have a synergistic effect on PAH solubilisation, selecting the optimum ratio of mixed surfactants leads to effective PAH remediation. Although the use of surfactants inhibits microbial activities in some cases, this could be avoided by choosing an optimum combination of surfactants and a proper microbial community for the targeted PAH(s), resulting in up to 99.99% PAH removal. This article reviews the literature on SER of PAHs, including surfactant types, the synergistic effect of mixed micelles on PAH removal, the impact of surfactants on the PAH biodegradation process, factors affecting the SER process, and the mechanisms of surfactant-enhanced solubilisation of PAHs.

Abstract
Bioremediation is an accepted technology for cleanup of soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), but it can increase the genotoxicity of the soil despite removal of the regulated PAHs. Although polar biotransformation products have been implicated as causative genotoxic agents, no specific product has been identified. We pursued a nontarget analytical approach combining effect-directed analysis (EDA) and metabolite profiling to compare extracts of PAH-contaminated soil from a former manufactured-gas plant site before and after treatment in a laboratory-scale aerobic bioreactor. A compound with the composition C15H8O2 and four methylated homologues were shown to accumulate as a result of bioreactor treatment, and the C15H8O2 compound purified from soil extracts was determined to be genotoxic. Its structure was established by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy as a heretofore unidentified α,β-unsaturated lactone derived from dioxygenation of pyrene at an apical ring, 2H-naphtho[2,1,8-def]chromen-2-one (NCO), which was confirmed by synthesis. The concentration of NCO in the bioreactor was 11 μg g-1 dry soil, corresponding to 13% of the pyrene removed. It also accumulated in aerobically incubated soil from two additional PAH-contaminated sites and was formed from pyrene by two pyrene-degrading bacterial cultures known to be geographically widespread, underscoring its potential environmental significance.

Abstract
Surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER) is considered as a promising and efficient remediation approach. This review summarizes and discusses main drivers on the application of SER in removing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from contaminated soil and water. The effect of PAH-PAH interactions on SER efficiency is, for the first time, illustrated in an SER review. Interactions between mixed PAHs could enhance, decrease, or have no impact on surfactants' solubilization power towards PAHs, thus affecting the optimal usage of surfactants for SER. Although SER can transfer PAHs from soil/non-aqueous phase liquids to the aqueous phase, the harmful impact of PAHs still exists. To decrease the level of PAHs in SER solutions, a series of SER-based integrated cleanup technologies have been developed including surfactant-enhanced bioremediation (SEBR), surfactant-enhanced phytoremediation (SEPR) and SER-advanced oxidation processes (SER-AOPs). In this review, the general considerations and corresponding applications of the integrated cleanup technologies are summarized and discussed. Compared with SER-AOPs, SEBR and SEPR need less operation cost, yet require more treatment time. To successfully achieve the field application of surfactant-based technologies, massive production of the cost-effective green surfactants (i.e. biosurfactants) and comprehensive evaluation of the drivers and the global cost of SER-based cleanup technologies need to be performed in the future.

Abstract
A recent work has shown that hydrophobic organic compounds solubilized in the micelle phase of some nonionic surfactants present substrate toxicity to microorganisms with increasing bioavailability. However, in cloud point systems, biotoxicity is prevented, because the compounds are solubilized into a coacervate phase, thereby leaving a fraction of compounds with cells in a dilute phase. This study extends the understanding of the relationship between substrate toxicity and bioavailability of hydrophobic organic compounds solubilized in nonionic surfactant micelle phase and cloud point system. Biotoxicity experiments were conducted with naphthalene and phenanthrene in the presence of mixed nonionic surfactants Brij30 and TMN-3, which formed a micelle phase or cloud point system at different concentrations. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, unable to degrade these compounds, was used for the biotoxicity experiments. Glucose in the cloud point system was consumed faster than in the nonionic surfactant micelle phase, indicating that the solubilized compounds had increased toxicity to cells in the nonionic surfactant micelle phase. The results were verified by subsequent biodegradation experiments. The compounds were degraded faster by PAH-degrading bacterium in the cloud point system than in the micelle phase. All these results showed that biotoxicity of the hydrophobic organic compounds increases with bioavailability in the surfactant micelle phase but remains at a low level in the cloud point system. These results provide a guideline for the application of cloud point systems as novel media for microbial transformation or biodegradation.

Abstract
For more than a decade, the primary focus of environmental experts has been to adopt risk-based management approaches to cleanup PAH polluted sites that pose potentially destructive ecological consequences. This focus had led to the development of several physical, chemical, thermal and biological technologies that are widely implementable. Established remedial options available for treating PAH contaminated soils are incineration, thermal conduction, solvent extraction/soil washing, chemical oxidation, bioaugmentation, biostimulation, phytoremediation, composting/biopiles and bioreactors. Integrating physico-chemical and biological technologies is also widely practiced for better cleanup of PAH contaminated soils. Electrokinetic remediation, vermiremediation and biocatalyst assisted remediation are still at the development stage. Though several treatment methods to remediate PAH polluted soils currently exist, a comprehensive overview of all the available remediation technologies to date is necessary so that the right technology for field-level success is chosen. The objective of this review is to provide a critical overview in this respect, focusing only on the treatment options available for field soils and ignoring the spiked ones. The authors also propose the development of novel multifunctional green and sustainable systems like mixed cell culture system, biosurfactant flushing, transgenic approaches and nanoremediation in order to overcome the existing soil- contaminant- and microbial-associated technological limitations in tackling high molecular weight PAHs. The ultimate objective is to ensure the successful remediation of long-term PAH contaminated soils.

Abstract
Even more than 50 years after the ban of DDT in Germany, farmers are still affected by its persistence in contaminated soils. Depending on the crop cultivated on such soils, this often leads to low-level residues of DDT and its metabolites DDE and DDD ("DDX"), which are perceived as a risk by the food value chain. Pesticide formulations used in modern agriculture commonly contain high levels of surfactants, but so far no open-field studies have evaluated the effects of these treatments on the mobility of lipophilic contaminants, such as DDX. In this field trial, a 1.03 ha section was cultivated with Cucurbita maxima under realistic conditions to monitor the mobility of DDX in low-level contaminated agricultural soils in dependence of common pesticide applications. A typical organic treatment was compared to a conventional protocol. Soil samples were taken before and after each application. Samples from the organic section featured significantly higher extractable DDX contents in soil and water compared to the conventional section. The results show that modern pesticide treatments can have an unforeseen, yet significant influence on the mobilization and, subsequently, on the plant bioavailability of incurred DDX residues depending on the formulation composition.

Surfactant-induced bacterial community changes correlated with increased polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degradation in contaminated soil. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2016; 100:10165-10177.

Abstract
Bioremediation as a method for removing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from contaminated environments has been criticized for poor removal of potentially carcinogenic but less bioavailable high molecular weight (HMW) compounds. As a partial remedy to this constraint, we studied surfactant addition at sub-micellar concentrations to contaminated soil to enhance the biodegradation of PAHs remaining after conventional aerobic bioremediation. We demonstrated increased removal of four- and five-ring PAHs using two nonionic surfactants, polyoxyethylene(4)lauryl ether (Brij 30) and polyoxyethylene sorbitol hexaoleate (POESH), and analyzed bacterial community shifts associated with those conditions. Eight groups of abundant bacteria were implicated as potentially being involved in increased HMW PAH removal. A group of unclassified Alphaproteobacteria and members of the Phenylobacterium genus in particular showed significantly increased relative abundance in the two conditions exhibiting increased PAH removal. Other implicated groups included members of the Sediminibacterium, Terrimonas, Acidovorax, and Luteimonas genera, as well as uncharacterized organisms within the families Chitinophagaceae and Bradyrhizobiaceae. Targeted isolation identified a subset of the community likely using the surfactants as a growth substrate, but few of the isolates exhibited PAH-degradation capability. Isolates recovered from the Acidovorax and uncharacterized Bradyrhizobiaceae groups suggest the abundance of those groups may have been attributable to growth on surfactants. Understanding the specific bacteria responsible for HMW PAH removal in natural and engineered systems and their response to stimuli such as surfactant amendment may improve bioremediation efficacy during treatment of contaminated environmental media.

Abstract
Efficacy of bioremediation for soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may be limited by the fractions of soil-bound PAHs that are less accessible to PAH-degrading microorganisms. In previous test-tube-scale work, submicellar doses of nonionic surfactants were screened for their ability to enhance the desorption and biodegradation of residual PAHs in soil after conventional bioremediation in a laboratory-scale, slurry-phase bioreactor. Polyoxyethylene sorbitol hexaoleate (POESH) was the optimum surfactant for enhancing PAH removal, especially the high-molecular weight PAHs. This work extends that concept by treating the effluent from the slurry-phase bioreactor in a second-stage batch reactor, to which POESH was added, for an additional 7 or 12 days. Surfactant amendment removed substantial amounts of the PAHs and oxy-PAHs remaining after conventional slurry-phase bioremediation, including more than 80% of residual 4-ring PAHs. Surfactant-amended treatment decreased soil cytotoxicity, but often increased the genotoxicity of the soil as measured using the DT-40 chicken lymphocyte DNA damage response assay. Potential ecotoxicity, measured using a seed germination assay, was reduced by bioreactor treatment and was reduced further after second-stage treatment with POESH. Of bacteria previously implicated as potential PAH degraders under POESH-amended conditions in a prior study, members of the Terrimonas genus were associated with differences in high-molecular weight PAH removal in the current study. Research using submicellar doses of surfactant as a second-stage treatment step is limited and these findings can inform the design of bioremediation systems at field sites treating soil contaminated with PAHs and other hydrophobic contaminants that have low bioaccessibility.
