Enhancing La(III) biosorption and biomineralization with Micromonospora saelicesensis: Involvement of phosphorus and formation of monazite nano-minerals.

[PMID: 38185165 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169851] [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: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
The release of rare earth elements (REEs) from mining wastes and their applications has significant environmental implications, necessitating the development of effective prevention and reclamation strategies. The mobility of REEs in groundwater due to microorganisms has garnered considerable attention. In this study, a La(III) resistant actinobacterium, Micromonospora saelicesensis KLBMP 9669, was isolated from REE enrichment soil in GuiZhou, China, and evaluated for its ability to adsorb and biomineralize La(III). The findings demonstrated that M. saelicesensis KLBMP 9669 immobilized La(III) through the physical and chemical interactions, with immobilization being influenced by the initial La(III) concentration, biomass, and pH. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order rate model, and the adsorption isotherm conformed to the Langmuir model. La(III) adsorption capacity of this strain was 90 mg/g, and removal rate was 94 %. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) analysis revealed the coexistence of La(III) with C, N, O, and P. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) investigations further indicated that carboxyl, amino, carbonyl, and phosphate groups on the mycelial surface may participate in lanthanum adsorption. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that La(III) accumulation throughout the M. saelicesensis KLBMP 9669, with some granular deposits on the mycelial surface. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) confirmed the presence of LaPO4 crystals on the M. saelicesensis KLBMP 9669 biomass after a prolonged period of La(III) accumulation. This post-sorption nano-crystallization on the M. saelicesensis KLBMP 9669 mycelial surface is expected to play a crucial role in limiting the bioimmobilization of REEs in geological repositories.

Liu R, Wei Z, Dong W, Wang R, Adams JM, Yang L, Krause SMB. Unraveling the impact of lanthanum on methane consuming microbial communities in rice field soils. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1298154. [PMID: 38322316 PMCID: PMC10844099 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1298154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
The discovery of the lanthanide requiring enzymes in microbes was a significant scientific discovery that opened a whole new avenue of biotechnological research of this important group of metals. However, the ecological impact of lanthanides on microbial communities utilizing methane (CH4) remains largely unexplored. In this study, a laboratory microcosm model experiment was performed using rice field soils with different pH origins (5.76, 7.2, and 8.36) and different concentrations of La3+ in the form of lanthanum chloride (LaCl3). Results clearly showed that CH4 consumption was inhibited by the addition of La3+ but that the response depended on the soil origin and pH. 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed the genus Methylobacter, Methylosarcina, and Methylocystis as key players in CH4 consumption under La3+ addition. We suggest that the soil microbiome involved in CH4 consumption can generally tolerate addition of high concentrations of La3+, and adjustments in community composition ensured ecosystem functionality over time. As La3+ concentrations increase, the way that the soil microbiome reacts may not only differ within the same environment but also vary when comparing different environments, underscoring the need for further research into this subject.
