Abstract
Biofilm bacteria have stronger resistance to the adverse external environment compared to planktonic bacteria, and biofilms of non-pathogenic bacteria have strong potential for applications in food. In this experiment, Halomonas sp. H09 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, which have film-forming ability in monoculture and better film-forming ability in mixed culture than the two strains alone, were selected as the target strains for mixed culture. According to SEM observation and bacterial dry weight measurement, the target strain formed a dense biofilm on a 0.1 g/L chitosan-modified cellulose III carrier. Furthermore, the presence of extracellular polymeric substances in biofilms was verified by EDS and FTIR. The results showed that 0.1 g/L chitosan-modified cellulose III was an ideal carrier material for immobilization of Halomonas sp. H09 with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG biofilm. This research provided a basis for the selection of non-pathogenic mixed-bacteria biofilm carriers.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 345:140312. [PMID: 37863209 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140312] [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: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
To investigate the degradation efficiency of conditioners and commercial microbial agents on estrogens (E1, 17α-E2, 17β-E2, E3, EE2, and DES) in the composting process of dairy manure, seven different treatments (RHB-BF, OSP-BF, SD-BF, MR-BF, MR-FS, MR-EM, and MR-CK) under forced ventilation conditions were composted and monitored regularly for 30 days. The results indicated that the removal rates of estrogens in seven treatments ranged from 95.35% to 99.63%, meanwhile the degradation effect of the composting process on 17β-Estradiol equivalent (EEQ) was evaluated, and the removal rate of ΣEEQ ranged from 96.42% to 99.72%. With the combined addition of rice husk biochar (RHB) or oyster shell powder (OSP) and bio-bacterial fertilizer starter cultures (BF), namely RHB-BF and OSP-BF obviously promoted the rapid degradation of estrogens. 17β-E2 was completely degraded on the fifth day of composting in OSP-BF. Microbial agents have some promotional effect and enhances the microbial degradation of synthetic estrogen (EE2, DES). According to the results of RDA, pH and EC were the main environmental factors affecting on the composition and succession of estrogen-related degrading bacteria in composting system. As predominant estrogens-degrading genera, Acinetobacter, Bacillus, and Pseudomonas effected obviously on the change of estrogens contents. The research results provide a practical reference for effective composting of dairy manure to enhancing estrogens removal and decreasing ecological risk.

Prakash C, Kumar V, Chaturvedi V. Efficient removal of endocrine disrupting compounds 17 α-ethynyl estradiol and 17 β-estradiol by Enterobacter sp. strain BHUBP7 and elucidation of the degradation pathway by HRAMS analysis. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 39:218. [PMID: 37269502 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-023-03662-9] [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: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
Owing to the increased population and their overuse, estrogens are being detected in the environment at alarming levels. They act as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC's) posing adverse effects on animals and humans. In this study, a strain belonging to Enterobacter sp. strain BHUBP7 was recovered from a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) situated in Varanasi city, U.P., India, and was capable of metabolizing both 17 α-Ethynylestradiol (EE2) and 17 β-Estradiol (E2) separately as a sole carbon source. The strain BHUBP7 exhibited high rates of E2 degradation as compared to EE2 degradation. The degradation of E2 (10 mg/L) was 94.3% after four days of incubation, whereas the degradation of EE2 (10 mg/L) under similar conditions was 98% after seven days of incubation. The kinetics of EE2 and E2 degradation fitted well with the first-order reaction rate. FTIR analysis revealed the involvement of functional groups like C = O, C-C, C-OH during the degradation process. The metabolites generated during degradation of EE2 and E2 were identified using HRAMS and a plausible pathway was elucidated. It was observed that metabolism of both E2 and EE2 proceeded with the formation of estrone, which was then hydroxylated to 4-hydroxy estrone, followed by ring opening at the C4-C5 position, and was further metabolized by the 4,5 seco pathway leading to the formation of 3-(7a-methyl-1,5-dioxooctahydro-1H-inden-4-yl) propanoic acid (HIP). It is the first report on the complete pathway of EE2 and E2 degradation in Enterobacter sp. strain BHUBP7. Moreover, the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) during the degradation of EE2 and E2 was observed. It was concluded that both hormones elicited the generation of oxidative stress in the bacterium during the degradation process.

Identification of a 17β-estradiol-degrading Microbacterium hominis SJTG1 with high adaptability and characterization of the genes for estrogen degradation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 444:130371. [PMID: 36423453 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Environmental estrogen contamination poses severe threat to wildlife and human. Biodegradation is an efficient strategy to remove the wide-spread natural estrogen, while strains suitable for hostile environments and fit for practical application are rare. In this work, Microbacterium hominis SJTG1 was isolated and identified with high degrading efficiency for 17β-estradiol (E2) and great environment fitness. It could degrade nearly 100% of 10 mg/L E2 in minimal medium in 6 days, and remove 93% of 1 mg/L E2 and 74% of 10 mg/L E2 in the simulated E2-polluted solid soil in 10 days. It maintained stable E2-degrading efficiency in various harsh conditions like non-neutral pH, high salinity, stress of heavy metals and surfactants. Genome mining and comparative genome analysis revealed that there are multiple genes potentially associated with steroid degradation in strain SJTG1. One 3β/17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase HSD-G129 induced by E2 catalyzed the 3β/17β-dehydrogenation of E2 and other steroids efficiently. The transcription of hsd-G129 gene was negatively regulated by the adjacent LysR-type transcriptional regulator LysR-G128, through specific binding to the conserved site. E2 can release this binding and initiate the degradation process. This work provides an efficient and adaptive E2-degrading strain and promotes the biodegrading mechanism study and actual remediation application.

Abstract
This study prepares a novel phosphorene (PN) and loads it onto TiO2 to fabricate PN-TiO2 and effectively photodegrade the hydrophobic environmental hormone 17β-estradiol in aqueous solutions. The effect of the PN on degradation efficiency is systematically investigated. It is observed that the doping of TiO2 with PN significantly enhances its photocatalytic and adsorption properties compared with that in the absence of PN; that is, the addition improves the adsorption capability of the composite. The optimal PN weight content is found to be 0.5%. The performance of the PN-TiO2 photocatalyst in degrading E2 is around 67.5%. However, its photodegradation efficiency gradually decreases when the PN content is further increased. This optimal PN content directly suggests synergistic interactions affecting the photodegrading efficiency. Compared with other PN-based photocatalysts mentioned in the literature, this PN-based material possesses striking advantages, such as higher energy efficiency, greater removal capacity, and superior cost-effectiveness. Further, the decrease in the biotoxicity of the water after treatment is evident in observing the development of zebrafish embryos. The studies of the catalyst performed on the zebrafish show that it results in a higher mortality rate at 96 h with a superior hatching rate and healthy fish development. In summary, the prepared PN-based materials exhibited promising photocatalytic capabilities for the removal and biotoxicity reduction of 17β-estradiol in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Livestock breeding activities and pharmaceutical wastes lead to considerable accumulation of steroid hormones and estrogens in wastewaters. Here estrogens act as pro-cancerogenic agents and endocrine disruptors interfering with the sexual development of aquatic animals and having toxic effects in humans. Environmental bacteria play a vital role in estrogens degradation. Their wide reservoir of enzymes, such as ring cleavage dioxygenases (RCDs), can degrade the steroid nucleus, catalyzing the meta-cleavage of A, B or D steroid rings. In this work, 4 extra-diol ring cleavage dioxygenases (ERCDs), PP28735, PP26077, PP00124 and PP00193, were isolated from the marine sphingomonad Novosphingobium sp. PP1Y and characterized. Enzymes kinetic parameters were determined on different synthetic catecholic substrates. Then, the bioconversion of catechol estrogens was evaluated. PP00124 showed to be an efficient catalyst for the degradation of 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE2), a carcinogenic hydroxylated derivate of E2. 4-OHE2 complete cleavage was obtained using PP00124 both in soluble form and in whole recombinant E. coli cells. LC-MS/MS analyses confirmed the generation of a semialdehyde product, through A-ring meta cleavage. To the best of our knowledge, PP00124 is the first characterized enzyme able to directly degrade 4-OHE2 via meta cleavage. Moreover, the complete 4-OHE2 biodegradation using recombinant whole cells highlighted advantages for bioremediation purposes.

Abstract
In brief Sex differences in the gut microbiome may impact multiple aspects of human health and disease. In this study, we review the evidence for microbial sex differences in puberty and adulthood and discuss potential mechanisms driving differentiation of the sex-specific gut microbiome. Abstract In humans, the gut microbiome is strongly implicated in numerous sex-specific physiological processes and diseases. Given this, it is important to understand how sex differentiation of the gut microbiome occurs and how these differences contribute to host health and disease. While it is commonly believed that the gut microbiome stabilizes after 3 years of age, our review of the literature found considerable evidence that the gut microbiome continues to mature during and after puberty in a sex-dependent manner. We also review the intriguing, though sparse, literature on potential mechanisms by which host sex may influence the gut microbiome, and vice versa, via sex steroids, bile acids, and the immune system. We conclude that the evidence for the existence of a sex-specific gut microbiome is strong but that there is a dearth of research on how host-microbe interactions lead to this differentiation. Finally, we discuss the types of future studies needed to understand the processes driving the maturation of sex-specific microbial communities and the interplay between gut microbiota, host sex, and human health.

Abstract
Estrogen contamination is widespread and microbial degradation is a promising removal method; however, unfavorable environments can hinder microbial function. In this study, a natural estrogen 17β-estradiol (E2) was introduced as a degradation target, and a new combination of bacterial carrier was investigated. We found the best combination of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) was 4% total concentration, PVA:SA = 5:5, with nano-Fe3O4 at 2%, and maltose and glycine added to promote degradation, for which the optimal concentrations were 5 g·L−1 and 10 g·L−1, respectively. Based on the above exploration, the bacterial carrier was made, and the degradation efficiency of the immobilized bacteria reached 92.3% in 5 days. The immobilized bacteria were reused for three cycles, and the degradation efficiency of each round could exceed 94%. Immobilization showed advantages at pH 5, pH 11, 10 °C, 40 °C, and 40 g·L−1 NaCl, and the degradation efficiency of the immobilized bacteria was higher than 90%. In the wastewater, the immobilized bacteria could degrade E2 to about 1 mg·L−1 on the 5th day. This study constructed a bacterial immobilization carrier using a new combination, explored the application potential of the carrier, and provided a new choice of bacterial immobilization carrier.

Abstract
A tannase-positive Bacillus gottheilii M2S2 and Bacillus cereus M1GT were co-cultivated for the production of gallic acid using tannic acid as the sole carbon source through submerged fermentation. Taguchi orthogonal array of design of experimental methodology was used to estimate the influence and significance of tannic acid concentration, glucose concentration, agitation speed, and inoculum size on the gallic acid production in a shake flask. Among all the factors, agitation speed contributed the highest for gallic acid production (28.28%), followed by glucose concentration (21.59%), inoculum size (19.6%), tannic acid concentration (19.54%), and pH (11.09%). Validation experiments were executed at the found optimized conditions which resulted in a 6.36-fold increase in gallic acid yield compared to unoptimized conditions. Further, the kinetics of growth, tannic acid degradation, and gallic acid yield were evaluated at the optimized conditions. The kinetic parameters Y x/s, Y p/s, and Y p/x were determined as 0.292 mg of cells/mg of tannic acid, 22.2 µg of gallic acid/mg of tannic acid, and 70.76 µg of gallic acid/mg of cells with a growth rate of 0.273 h −1 after 24 h of fermentation. Finally, the antimicrobial activity of the product gallic acid was investigated against food-borne pathogenic E. coli, S. aureus, and Serriatia marcescens and showed a zone of inhibition of 2 cm, 1.6 cm, and 1.3 cm, respectively, using the agar disc diffusion technique. Thus, the cost-effective bioproduct gallic acid proved to be potentially effective to control food poisoning diseases and preserve foodstuff.

Abstract
Extensive use and disposal of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), a primary constituent of explosives, pollutes the environment and causes severe damage to human health. Complete mineralization of TNT via bacterial degradation has recently gained research interest as an effective method for the restoration of contaminated sites. Here, screening for TNT degradation by six selected bacteria revealed that Buttiauxella sp. S19-1, possesses the strongest degrading ability. Moreover, BuP34O (a gene encoding for protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase—P34O, a key enzyme in the β-ketoadipate pathway) was upregulated during TNT degradation. A knockout of BuP34O in S19-1 to generate S-M1 mutant strain caused a marked reduction in TNT degradation efficiency compared to S19-1. Additionally, the EM1 mutant strain (Escherichia coli DH5α transfected with BuP34O) showed higher degradation efficiency than DH5α. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of TNT degradation by S19-1 revealed 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotolune (ADNT) as the intermediate metabolite of TNT. Furthermore, the recombinant protein P34O (rP34O) expressed the activity of 2.46 µmol/min·mg. Our findings present the first report on the involvement of P34O in bacterial degradation of TNT and its metabolites, suggesting that P34O could catalyze downstream reactions in the TNT degradation pathway. In addition, the TNT-degrading ability of S19-1, a Gram-negative marine-derived bacterium, presents enormous potential for restoration of TNT-contaminated seas.

To overcome this, we synthesised super hydrophobic nanoporous 3-dimensional ordered nanomaterials with multi-functional binding chemistry for highly efficient adsorption of estrogen (17β-estradiol). Graphene oxide (GO) was synthesised via Tours method and methoxylether polyethylene glycol (mPEG) was covalently introduced onto GO surface via facile amidation mild process to give GO-mPEG. GO-mPEG was anchored on nanoporous SBA-15 and homogenously reduced in-situ to SBA-rGO-mPEG. XRD analysis confirmed successful synthesis of SBA-15 and cross-linked GO/rGO-mPEG on SBA-15 surface. Image analysis revealed the architecture of SBA-15 as porous 3-dimensional silica network and presence of interwoven/crosslinked thin-films of GO-mPEG on SBA-15 surface. EDX mapping/elemental analysis showed expected elements were present. FTIR and textural analysis revealed the presence of different functional groups and high surface area as well as porosity, respectively. Optimal molar ratio experiments showed that 0.5SBA-rGO-mPEG had the highest sorption capacity. The relatively large surface area, 3-dimensional nanoprous silica structure and excess of polyamide/amido-carbonic functional groups on nanocomposites were suited for adsorption of 17β-estradiol. Equilibrium time was 30 min and effect of pH on adsorption was negligible. Sorption kinetic process of SBA-rGO-mPEG suited the pseudo-second-order model and equilibrium data fitted both Freundlich and Langmuir models. Qm values of 57.1, 78.5, 102.6 and 192.3 mg/g was recorded for SBA-GO, 0.1SBA-rGO-mPEG, 0.25SBA-rGO-mPEG and 0.5SBA-rGO-mPEG, respectively. H-bond, hydrophobic and π-π interactions were the sorption mechanism of SBA-rGO-mPEG after detailed analysis of data. Adsorbents was regenerated/re-used after 4 cycles with high remediation from environmental/real water samples.

Separation and degradation detection of nanogram-per-litre concentrations of radiolabelled steroid hormones using combined liquid chromatography and flow scintillation analysis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:7095. [PMID: 32341408 PMCID: PMC7184612 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-63697-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2019] [Accepted: 04/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Detection of micropollutants such as steroid hormones occurring in the aquatic environment at concentrations between ng/L and µg/L remains a major challenge, in particular when treatment efficiency is to be evaluated. Steroid hormones are typically analysed using mass-spectrometry methods, requiring pre-concentration and/or derivatisation procedures to achieve required detection limits. Free of sample preparation steps, the use of radiolabelled contaminants with liquid scintillation counting is limited to single-compound systems and require a separation of hormone mixtures before detection. In this work, a method was developed coupling ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) with flow scintillation analysis (FSA) for separation and detection of radiolabelled estrone, 17ß-estradiol, testosterone and progesterone. Adjustment of the flow rate of scintillation liquid and UHPLC mobile phase, gradient time, column temperature, and injection volume allowed the separation of steroid hormones and degradation products. The limit-of-detection (LOD = 1.5–2.4 ng/L) and limit-of-quantification (LOQ = 3.4–4.3 ng/L) for steroid hormones were comparable with the current state-of-the-art technique (LC-MS/MS) for non-derivatised compounds. Although the method cannot be applied to real water samples (unless spiked with radiotracers), it serves as a useful tool for the development of water treatment technologies at laboratory scale as demonstrated via: i) adsorption on polymer-based spherical activated carbon, ii) retention in nanofiltration, iii) photodegradation using a photocatalytic membrane.

Abstract
Bioaugmentation using specific microbial strains or consortia was deemed to be a useful bioremediation technology for increasing bioremediation efficiency. The present study confirmed the effectiveness and feasibility of bioaugmentation capability of the bacterium BC immobilized on sugarcane bagasse (SCB) for degradation of tetracycline antibiotics (TCAs) in soil. It was found that an inoculation dose of 15% (v/w), 28–43 °C, slightly acidic pH (4.5–6.5), and the addition of oxytetracycline (OTC, from 80 mg kg−1 to 160 mg kg−1) favored the bioaugmentation capability of the bacterium BC, indicating its strong tolerance to high temperature, pH, and high substrate concentrations. Moreover, SCB-immobilized bacterium BC system exhibited strong tolerance to heavy metal ions, such as Pb2+ and Cd2+, and could fit into the simulated soil environment very well. In addition, the bioaugmentation and metabolism of the co-culture with various microbes was a complicated process, and was closely related to various species of bacteria. Finally, in the dual-substrate co-biodegradation system, the presence of TC at low concentrations contributed to substantial biomass growth but simultaneously led to a decline in OTC biodegradation efficiency by the SCB-immobilized bacterium BC. As the total antibiotic concentration was increased, the OTC degradation efficiency decreased gradually, while the TC degradation efficiency still exhibited a slow rise tendency. Moreover, the TC was preferentially consumed and degraded by continuous introduction of OTC into the system during the bioremediation treatment. Therefore, we propose that the SCB-immobilized bacterium BC exhibits great potential in the bioremediation of TCAs-contaminated environments. Bioaugmentation using specific microbial strains or consortia was deemed to be a useful bioremediation technology for increasing bioremediation efficiency.![]()

Abstract
Bioremediation of environmental estrogens requires microorganisms with stable degradation efficiency and great stress tolerance in complex environments. In this work, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia SJTL3 isolated from wastewater was found to be able to degrade over 90% of 10 μg/mL 17β-estradiol (E2) in a week and the degradation dynamic was fitted by the first-order kinetic equations. Estrone was the first and major intermediate of E2 biodegradation. Strain SJTL3 exhibited strong tolerance to several adverse conditions like extreme pH (3.0-11.0), high osmolality (2%), co-existing heavy metals (6.25 μg/mL of Cu2+) and surfactants (5 CMC of Tween 80), and retained normal cell vitality and stable E2-degradaing efficiency. In solid soil, strain SJTL3 could remove nearly 100% of 1 μg/mL of E2 after the bacteria inoculation and 8-day culture. As to the contamination of 10 μg/mL E2 in soil, the biodegradation efficiency was about 90%. The further obtainment of the whole genome of strain SJTL3 and genome analysis revealed that this strain contained not only the potential genes responsible for estrogen degradation, but also the genes encoding proteins involved in stress tolerance. This work could promote the estrogen-biodegrading mechanism study and provide insights into the bioremediation application.

Abstract
Moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR) are promising as a post-treatment for removing pharmaceuticals from wastewater. However, the effect of easily degradable carbon sources on the degradation of pharmaceuticals is unclear. This study shows the influence of acetate on the degradation of 26 pharmaceuticals in an MBBR was dose- and compound-dependent: while the degradation of venlafaxine, tramadol and ciprofloxacin was promoted (increase of reaction rate constant (k) by 133%, 212%, 55%) by acetate, its presence caused negative effects on the removal of ibuprofen, citalopram and diclofenac (decrease of k by 76%, 57%, 44%). The deconjugation of acetyl-sulfadiazine was clearly slowed down (decrease of k by 75%) by the dosed acetate, probably due to feedback inhibition by abundant acetate. 17 out of 25 tested compounds were found to be independent of the acetate dosage, which suggested dosing acetate induced minor effects on most of pharmaceuticals' removal. Enrichment of S- or first eluted enantiomer of 4 β-blockers and the metabolite metoprolol acid was observed. Both non-enantioselective (rapid at elevated compound concentration) and enantioselective enzymes (slower and predominant at lower compound concentration) played a part in the biodegradation. High doses of acetate slowed down the enantiomeric enrichment of atenolol, metoprolol, propranolol and metoprolol acid, which demonstrated that the acetate is able to up- or down-regulate enzymes involved in the enantioselective degradation of β-blockers and thus reveals a complex co-metabolism relationship between transformation pathways of pharmaceuticals and carbon source.

Abstract
Application of animal manure on agricultural lands is one of the main sources of estrogen contamination in the environment. Poultry and cow manure contain free and conjugated forms of the natural estrogens (e.g., estrone [E1] and estradiol [E2]) that can enter surface waters during runoff events. Estrone has been identified as the major form of estrogen in the environment; therefore, this study is focused on the evaluation of the degree of mineralization and fate of E1 in a simulated poultry litter and cow manure runoff water. A time-course study was conducted using simulated runoff water that consisted of 0.5 mg cow manure or poultry litter dissolved in 1 L of water spiked with radiolabeled E1 (C-E1). Samples were analyzed for estrogen concentrations at Day 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. In the poultry litter simulated runoff water, E1 was biotransformed to 17β-estrone-3-sulfate (E1-3S) but was eventually mineralized to CO; a total E1 mineralization of 92.2% occurred after 7 d of aerobic incubation. In contrast, the concentrations of E1 and other forms of endogenous estrogens detected in the cow manure simulated runoff water, such as E1-3S, 17α-estradiol (α-E2), and 17β-estradiol (β-E2), remained relatively constant and persisted over the 7 d of aerobic incubation. Results of this study demonstrate the differences in the fate of estrone in the simulated poultry litter and cow manure runoff water, highlighting the ability of the endogenous microbial community from poultry litter to mineralize estrogens to CO.

Abstract
The interaction between pure culture microorganisms has been evaluated allowing for the enhanced biodegradation of various kinds of pollutants. Arthrobacter sp. DNS10 previously enriched in an atrazine-containing soil was capable of utilizing atrazine as the sole nitrogen source for growth, and Enterobacter sp. P1 is a phosphorus-solubilizing bacterium that releases various kinds of organic acids but lacks the ability to degrade atrazine. Whether strain P1 could enhance atrazine biodegradation by the degrader strain DNS10 was investigated in this experiment. Gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography results showed that co-culture of both strains degraded 99.18 ± 1.00% of the atrazine (initial concentration was 100 mg L-1), while the single strain DNS10 only degraded 38.57 ± 7.39% after a 48 h culture, and the resulting concentration of the atrazine final metabolite cyanuric acid were 63.91 ± 3.34 mg L-1 and 26.60 ± 3.87 mg L-1, respectively. In addition, the expression of the atrazine degradation-related genes trzN, atzB and atzC in co-culture treatments was 6.61, 1.81 and 3.09 times that of the single strain DNS10 culture treatment. A substrates utilization test showed that the atrazine-degrading metabolites ethylamine and isopropylamine could serve as the nitrogen source to support strain P1 growth, although strain P1 cannot degrade atrazine or utilize atrazine for growth. Furthermore, the pH of the medium was significantly decreased when strain P1 utilized ethylamine and isopropylamine as the nitrogen source for growth. The results suggest that nondegrader strain P1 could promote the atrazine biodegradation when co-cultured with strain DNS10. This phenomenon is due to metabolite exchange between the two strains. Culturing these two strains together is a new biostimulation strategy to enhance the biodegradation of atrazine by culturing these two strains together.

Abstract
Microbial biodegradation plays a key role in determining the fate of estrogens and can be affected by the background nutrients in natural environments. However, information on how microbial community and nutrient conditions influence estrogen biodegradation is very limited. In this study, 13C-17β-estradiol (13C-E2) was supplied to sediments from the Central Area (CA), Gonghu (GH), Meiliang (ML), and Zhushan (ZS) Bays of Taihu Lake to investigate shifts in bacterial community structure associated with 13C-E2 mineralization over a 30-day incubation period, and the relationships between the background nutrients and cumulative 13C-E2 mineralization rates. The cumulative 13C-E2 mineralization rate for ZS Bay was 87.40% on Day 30, which was significantly greater (P < 0.05) than the rates for ML Bay (67.74%), GH Bay (62.79%), and the CA (52.60%). A correlation analysis suggested that the cumulative 13C-E2 mineralization rate was significantly and positively related to the concentrations of total organic carbon (P < 0.01), nitrate-nitrogen (P < 0.05), ammonia-nitrogen (P < 0.001), and dissolved phosphorus (P < 0.001) in the sediments. Although the highest relative abundances of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes (contain most estrogen-degrading bacteria) were not initially in the ZS Bay sediment, the addition of 13C-E2 stimulated their growth in all sediments, with the greatest increases observed for ZS Bay. At the genus level, the cumulative increases of seven genera (Nitrosomonas, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, Novosphingobium, Alcaligenes and Mycobacterium) considered to be associated with E2 degradation were also highest for ZS Bay (80.2 times), followed by ML Bay (39.8 times), GH Bay (28.1 times), and CA (19.0 times). Besides the higher nutrient concentrations, the responses of bacteria to 13C-E2 addition in ZS Bay could also explain it having the highest cumulative 13C-E2 mineralization rate. These results indicate both the background nutrients and bacterial community evolution in the sediments determined the 13C-E2 mineralization rates.

Abstract
Biodegradation with microorganisms is considered as an efficient strategy to remove the environmental pollutants. In this work, Deinococcus actinosclerus SJTR1 isolated from the wastewater was confirmed with great degradation capability to 17β-estradiol, one typical estrogen chemical. It could degrade nearly 90% of 17β-estradiol (10 mg/L) in 5 days and transform it into estrone; its degradation kinetics fitted for the first-order kinetic equation. The whole genome sequence of D. actinosclerus SJTR1 was obtained and annotated, containing one chromosome (3,315,586 bp) and four plasmids (ranging from 17,267 bp to 460,244 bp). A total of 3913 CDSs and 73 RNA genes (including 12 rRNA genes, 50 tRNA genes, and 11 ncRNA genes) were identified in its whole genome sequence. On this basis, a series of potential genes involved in steroid metabolism and stress responses of D. actinosclerus SJTR1 were predicted. It is the first report of Deinococcus strain with the degradation capability to estrogens. This work could enrich the genome sources of the estrogen-degrading strains and promote the degradation mechanism study of 17β-estradiol in bacteria.
