Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:301. [PMID: 38639797 PMCID: PMC11031484 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-024-13132-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
Water bodies are increasingly contaminated with a diversity of organic micropollutants (OMPs). This impacts the quality of ecosystems due to their recalcitrant nature. In this study, we assessed the removal of OMPs by spent mushroom substrate (SMS) of the white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) and by its aqueous tea extract. Removal of acesulfame K, antipyrine, bentazon, caffeine, carbamazepine, chloridazon, clofibric acid, and N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) by SMS and its tea was between 10 and 90% and 0-26%, respectively, in a 7-day period. Sorption to SMS particles was between 0 and 29%, which can thus not explain the removal difference between SMS and its tea, the latter lacking these particles. Carbamazepine was removed most efficiently by both SMS and its tea. Removal of OMPs (except caffeine) by SMS tea was not affected by heat treatment. By contrast, heat-treatment of SMS reduced OMP removal to < 10% except for carbamazepine with a removal of 90%. These results indicate that OMP removal by SMS and its tea is mediated by both enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities. The presence of copper, manganese, and iron (0.03, 0.88, and 0.33 µg L-1, respectively) as well as H2O2 (1.5 µM) in SMS tea indicated that the Fenton reaction represents (part of) the non-enzymatic activity. Indeed, the in vitro reconstituted Fenton reaction removed OMPs > 50% better than the teas. From these data it is concluded that spent mushroom substrate of the white button mushroom, which is widely available as a waste-stream, can be used to purify water from OMPs.

Abstract
In this comprehensive review, we delve into the myriad applications of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) in agricultural contexts, with a particular emphasis on its role in fostering sustainable poultry production. Our examination spans three key domains: the use of SMS in fertilizers, its impact on environmental factors and gas emissions, and its contribution to poultry nutrition. This review synthesizes findings from multiple studies that underscore the potential of composted SMS as a viable alternative to conventional inorganic fertilizers, effectively meeting crop nutrient needs while mitigating groundwater contamination risks. Moreover, we highlight the substantial environmental advantages associated with the utilization of SMS and poultry waste, including reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and the promotion of sustainable waste management practices. Additionally, we explore the promising outcomes of integrating SMS into animal feed formulations, which have demonstrated significant enhancements in livestock growth performance and overall health. In sum, this review underscores the versatility and untapped potential of SMS as a valuable agricultural resource, with a particular focus on its role in advancing sustainable practices, optimizing nutrient management, and harnessing the value of organic waste materials, especially in the context of poultry production.

Abstract
A proteoglycan LEPS1 was firstly isolated and purified from the spent substrate of Lentinula edodes, an agricultural waste that may cause environmental pollution. The average molecular weight of LEPS1 was 1.18 × 104 g/mol, and carbohydrate moiety (88.9 %) was composed of glucose, arabinose, galactose, xylose and mannose at a molar ratio of 1.2:1.2:1.0:2.3:1.1. The protein moiety (8.5 %) of LEPS1 was bonded to the polysaccharide chain via O-glycosidic linkage. LEPS1 could significantly improve the inflammatory injury of LPS stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages by inhibiting the secretion of NO and decreasing the levels of pro-inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6). LEPS1 inhibited JAK-STAT1 and p38 MAPK signaling pathway via modulating JAK expression, phosphorylation of STAT1 and phosphorylation of p38, respectively. Moreover, LEPS1 could promote the expression of CD 206 and IL-10 which were the markers for repairing macrophages. Overall, LEPS1 had anti-inflammatory activity and can potentially treat as a novel anti-inflammation agent. This work could provide scientific basis and valuable information for the highly efficient utilization of spent L. edodes substrates as the by-product in mushroom industries.

[PMID: 35750128 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
In arable soils co-influenced by mining and farming, soil bacteria significantly affect metal (Cadmium, Cd) bioavailability and accumulation. To reveal the soil microecology response under this co-influence, three intersection areas (cornfield, vegetable field, and paddy field) were investigated. With a similar nutrient condition, the soils showed varied Cd levels (0.31-7.70 mg/kg), which was negatively related to the distance from mining water flow. Different soils showed varied microbial community structures, which were dominated by Chloroflexi (19.64-24.82%), Actinobacteria (15.49-31.96%), Acidobacteriota (9.46-20.31%), and Proteobacteria (11.88-14.57%) phyla. A strong correlation was observed between functional microbial taxon (e. g. Acidobacteriota), soil physicochemical properties, and Cd contents. The relative abundance of tolerant bacteria including Vicinamibacteraceae, Knoellia, Ardenticatenales, Lysobacter, etc. elevated with the increase of Cd, which contributed to the enrichment of heavy metal resistance genes (HRGs) and integration genes (intlI), thus enhancing the resistance to heavy metal pollution. Cd content rather than crop species was identified as the dominant factor that influenced the bacterial community. Nevertheless, the peculiar agrotype of the paddy field contributed to its higher HRGs and intlI abundance. These results provided fundamental information about the crop-specific physiochemical-bacterial interaction, which was helpful to evaluate agricultural environmental risk around the intersection of farmland and pollution sources.

Abstract
Commercial mushrooms are cultivated on lignocellulose wastes, such as corncob, saw dust, straw and wood chips. Following the rapidly increasing global mushroom production, the efficient recycling and utilization of the by-product, known as spent mushroom substrate (SMS) has garnered much attention due to the serious pollution issues caused. Embracing the concept of 'circular economy', the SMSs have demonstrated immense potential in wide range of applications, including recycling as the substrate for new cultivation cycle of mushroom, biofertilizer and soil amendment, animal feed, renewable energy production and pollution bioremediation. The review provided an overview and recent advances focusing on these applications, analyzed the possible challenges and proposed future directions for sustainable development of global mushroom industry.

Abstract
In this study, spent mushroom substrates (SMSs) were fermented anaerobically at room temperature to gain liquid SMSs (LSMSs) that were used to remove nitrogen from the piggery wastewater with a low C/N ratio in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and solid SMSs (SSMSs) that were utilized to adsorb Pb2+ from Pb2+-containing wastewater in a fixed-bed reactor (FBR). After LSMSs supplement, the removal efficiency of both total nitrogen (TN) and NH+4-N increased from around 50% to 60-80%. High-throughput sequencing results presented an obvious change in microbial diversity, and some functional microorganisms like Zoogloea and Hydrogenophaga predominated to promote nitrogen removal. Pb2+ did not emerge from the effluent until 240 min with the corresponding concentration being less than 3 mg/L when using 30-day SSMSs as adsorbents, and it was demonstrated to be appropriate to use the Thomas model to predict Pb2+ sorption on SSMSs. Although various functional groups played a role in binding ions, the carboxyl group was proved to contribute most to Pb2+ adsorption. These results certified that the anaerobically fermented SMSs are decidedly suitable for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are in the class of persistent organic pollutants, are considered as hazardous pollutants. To date, these compounds were detected globally in soil, sludge, water, and other contamination sources. A variety of treatment methods have been used in recent years to degrade PAHs in the environment. Photocatalysis, among advanced techniques, is proposed as the most effective method for the treatment of PAHs. In this context, we introduce the classification of PAHs, summarize, and highlight the recent studies on photodegradation of various types of PAHs. A series of efficient photocatalysts, including TiO2-, Ag3PO4-, ZnO-, MHCFs-based, and others, have been reported with the potential result for photodegradation of PAHs. Focus is also placed on revealing several possible reaction pathways for different types of PAHs that have been proposed in the literature. Particular attention to current status, challenges, and prospects in the future for enhanced photodegradation of PAHs are also discussed.

Abstract
Co-presence of organic pollutants and heavy metals in soil is causing increasing concerns, but the lack of knowledge of relation between soil ecology and pollutant fate is limiting the developing of specific control strategy. This study investigated soil change under pyrene stress and its interaction with cadmium (Cd). Soil physicochemical properties were not seriously influenced. However, pollutants' presence easily varied soil microbial activity, quantity, and diversity. Under high-level pyrene, Cd presence contributed to soil indigenous microorganisms' adaption and soil microbial community structure stability. Soils with both pyrene and Cd presented 7.11-12.0% higher pyrene degradation compared with single pyrene treatment. High-throughput sequencing analysis indicated the proportion of Mycobacterium sp., a commonly known PAHs degrader, increased to 25.2-48.5% in treatments from 0.52% in control. This phenomenon was consistent with the increase of PAHs probable degraders (the ratio increased to 2.86-6.57% from 0.24% in control). Higher Cd bioavailability was also observed in soils with both pollutants than that with Cd alone. And Cd existence caused the elevation of Cd resistant bacterium Limnobacter sp. (increased to 12.2% in CdCK from 2.06% in control). Functional gene prediction also indicated that abundance of genes related to nutrient metabolism decreased dramatically with pollutants, while the abundances of energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, secondary metabolites biosynthesis-related genes increased (especially for aromatic compound degradation related genes). These results indicated the mutual effect and internal-interaction existed between pollutants and soils resulted in pollutants' fate and soil microbial changes, providing further information regarding pollutants dissipation and transformation under soil microbial response.

Abstract
Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is an agricultural waste with a high potential for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) removal in aged contaminated soils. In this study, fresh and air-dried Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, and Auricularia auricular SMSs were used to remove PAHs in agricultural soil under 60-day incubation. The potential of SMS in PAH dissipation was studied by detecting the dissipation rate and the soil physicochemical index, enzyme activity, PAH-degradation bacterial biomass, and microbial diversity. Results showed that SMS significantly enhanced the dissipation of PAHs and fresh SMS had a better effect than air-dried SMS. The highest dissipation rate of 16 PAHs was 34.5%, which was observed in soil amended with fresh P. eryngii SMS, and the PAH dissipation rates with low and high molecular weights were 41.3% and 19.4%, respectively. By comparison, fresh P. eryngii SMS presented high nutrient contents, which promoted the development of PAH-degrading bacteria and changed the soil bacterial community involved in degradation, thereby promoting the PAH dissipation. The lignin-degrading enzymes in fresh SMS were abundant, and the laccase and manganese peroxidase activities in the treatment of fresh P. eryngii SMS was higher than those in other treatments. Fresh P. eryngii SMS improved the relative abundance of Microbacterium, Rhizobium, and Pseudomonas in soil, which were all related to PAH degradation. Consequently, adding fresh P. eryngii SMS was an effective method for remediating aged PAH-contaminated agricultural soils.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) in soil have caused serious environmental problems and increased healthy risks to humans and biota, it is vital important and necessary to develop effective methods to resolve the combined contaminated problems. In this study, strains L5 and L6 with good heavy metal resistant and immobilizing capacities were isolated from Cd and Ni contaminated soil. Bacterial characteristic experiment illustrated that many functional groups (-OH, -NH2 and -COO et al.) were distributed on the surface of L5 and L6. Under the stress of heavy metals, bacterial appearances were distorted. The pot experiment indicated that the concentrations of HOAc-extractable Cd and Ni in soil reduced 6.26-15.33% and 13.31-19.53% with the inoculation of L5 and L6. In addition, the immobilization rates on Cd and Ni improved 61.27-128.50% and 23.69-39.66% with re-inoculation of strains L5 and L6 at 30 days, respectively. After inoculation of strains L5 and L6 for 60 days, the activities of FDA hydrolysis, acid phosphatase, urease, invertase and dehydrogenase in soil increased obviously. Furthermore, bacterial diversity indexes and community structure of soil were also improved. Thus, given the beneficial remediation effects of the isolated strains, L5 and L6 have great potentials for heavy metals contaminated soil remediation.

Mechanism study of Chromium influenced soil remediated by an uptake-detoxification system using hyperaccumulator, resistant microbe consortium, and nano iron complex. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 257:113558. [PMID: 31708284 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.113558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2019] [Revised: 10/30/2019] [Accepted: 10/31/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
A soil heavy metal decontamination system was developed based on the immobilization of bioavailable metal fraction by iron-biochar nano-complex (BC@Fe3O4) and the uptake by Chromium (Cr) hyperaccumulator Leersia hexandra (L. hexandra) under the assistance of metal resistant microbe consortium (MC). In this system, L. hexandra was able to accumulate 485.1-785.0 mg kg-1 in root and 147.5-297.2 mg kg-1 of Cr in its aerial part. With MC assistance, more Cr could be translocated to the aerial part of L. hexandra, which dramatically improved its remediation potential. Meanwhile, BC@Fe3O4 application decreased bioavailable Cr in soil and reduced soil toxicity, which contributed to soil microbial community adaption and L. hexandra performance under high level of Cr concentration (elevated microbial activity, decreased plant stress response, enhanced L. hexandra growth and accumulation) without negative influence on accumulation efficiency. Moreover, details of the possible mechanistic insight into metal removal were discussed, which indicated a negative correlation of the extractable Cr with soil microecology and hyperaccumulator performance. Furthermore, the resistant bacteria successfully altered soil microbial community, enhanced its diversity, which was in favor of the soil quality improvement.

Abstract
Paracoccus sp. LXC combined with humic acid (HA) and spent mushroom substrate (SMS) obtained from Auricularia auricular and Sarcomyxa edulis was tested for the remediation of agricultural soil contaminated with aged polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The biomass and diversity of bacteria and fungi and the soil enzyme activity were analyzed. PAH removal and dissipation kinetics were examined. The highest degradation rate of PAHs was 56.5% when soil was amended with Paracoccus sp. LXC combined with HA and unsterilized SMS from A. auricular. The half-life of PAHs decreased from 2323.3 days in natural attenuation to 66.6-277.2 days in amended treatments. Soil treated with Paracoccus sp. LXC combined with HA and SMS from A. auricular acquired high contents of organic matter and nutrients. HA and SMS aided the growth of PAH-degrading bacteria and promoted the diversity of bacteria but not of fungi. The degradation rate of PAHs was mainly correlated positively with soil laccase activity. Low- and middle-molecular-weight PAHs were significantly removed by Paracoccus sp. LXC, HA and SMS. High-molecular-weight PAHs were removed by SMS but not by Paracoccus sp. LXC. Biodegradation by Paracoccus sp. LXC combined with HA and SMS is a promising choice for remediating aged PAH-contaminated agricultural soils.

Abstract
Acinetobacter sp. TX5 immobilized with spent Hypsizygus marmoreus substrate (SHMS) was used to treat the raw piggery wastewater (RPW). In batch experiments, NH4+-N in the diluted RPW decreased from initial 34.95 mg/L to 3.83 mg/L at 8 h with the removal efficiency (RE) being 89%, and the beads immobilized with SHMS were comparable to those immobilized with activated carbon. In continuous experiments, the RE ranged from 74% to 95% for NH4+-N, from 73% to 93% for TN and from 54% to 82% for COD when the RPW was treated in a fixed-bed reactor packed with SHMS-immobilized TX5. The isotope analysis and enzyme purification indicated simultaneous nitrification and denitrification existing in TX5. This is the first time that spent mushroom substrates have been used to immobilize Acinetobacter species to treat the real RPW and a denitrifying nitrite reductase (dNiR) has been purified to make the nitrogen removal pathway in this species clearer.

Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the remediation effects of bio-conditioners vermicompost (VC) and biochar (BC) on cadmium contaminated soil under the threat of acid rain, individually and associatively. With the application of soil conditioners, the percentages of HOAc-extractable Cd decreased 5.2-6.8%, 9.0-13.5% and 7.9-12.1% in the groups amended with VC, BC and VC combined BC, respectively. When the pH of rain decreased from 7.0 to 4.0, the activity of acid phosphatase decreased 2.0%, 12.3%, 3.2%, 14.8% in VC, BC, VC combined BC and control groups, individually. This study affirmed that with the application of soil conditioners, the threat of heavy metal along with bioavailability of Cd was depressed, and the properties of soil biochemical indictors were enhanced. Oppositely, the bioavailability of Cd was promoted, and soil microbial viability as well as nutrient contents was inhibited with the spraying of acid rain. The findings indicated that acid deposition played a restrain effect on soil remediation process. Meanwhile, soil conditioners showed potentials to improve soil fertilities and alleviate the stress of acid rain.

Abstract
In order to remove nitrogen effectively from the wastewater with a low C/N ratio, the feasibility of using spent mushroom compost (SMC) hydrolysates as carbon sources for denitrification was investigated in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). With SMCs supplement, the SBR performance was improved obviously within the 180days of operation. The total nitrogen removal was promoted from 46.9% to 81-89.4%, and no negative impact induced by different SMCs on the SBR system was observed. The abundance of functional genes including amoA, nirS/K, norB and nosZ in the active sludge was quantified by qPCR, and most of them elevated after SMC was fed. 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing showed that the significant change in microbial community not only promoted pollutants removal but also benefited the stability of the reactor. Therefore, SMC could be an extremely promising carbon source used for nitrogen removal due to its cost-effective and efficient characteristics.

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
This experiment was performed to investigate the effects of acclimated sewage sludge (ASS) and sterilized ASS on the fates of chlorpyrifos (CP) in soil with or without cadmium (Cd), as well as the improvement of soil biochemical properties. Results showed that both ASS and sterilized ASS could significantly promote CP dissipation, and the groups with ASS had the highest efficiency on CP removal, whose degradation rates reached 71.3%-85.9% at the 30th day (40.4%-50.2% higher than non-sludge groups). Besides, the degradation rate of CP was not severely influenced by the existence of Cd, and the population of soil microorganism dramatically increased after adding sludge. The soil enzyme activities (dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and FDA hydrolase activities) ranked from high to low were as follows: groups with sterilized ASS>groups with ASS>groups without sludge. Simultaneously, 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that ASS changed bacterial community structure and diversity in soil. In addition, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen and Olsen- phosphorus increased after application of sludge, indicating that the addition of ASS (or sterilized ASS) could effectively improve soil fertility.
