Abstract
The biofloc technology (BFT) system has been widely applied in the shrimp and fish culture industry for its advantages in water-saving, growth improvement, and water quality purification. However, The BFT system usually takes a long time to establish, and the extra carbon source input increases the maintenance cost of the system. In this study, we aimed to develop a low-cost and high-efficient BFT system for Litopenaeus vannamei by applying bacteria that could promote the formation of BFT and utilize cheap carbon sources. Three bioflocculant-producing bacteria strains (M13, M15, and M17) have been screened from a cellulolytic strain collection. All three strains have been identified as Bacillus spp. and can use sugarcane bagasse (SB) as a carbon source, which is a cheap byproduct of the sucrose industry in the tropic area of China. Compared to sucrose, the addition of SB and the three strains could improve the biofloc formation rate, biofloc size distribution, ammonia removal rate, and the growth performance of the shrimps. These results suggest that the bioflocculant and cellulase-producing bacteria strains could promote the biofloc formation and the growth of shrimps by using SB as an economic substitute carbon source in the BFT shrimp culture system.

Enhanced remediation of fracturing flowback fluids by the combined application of a bioflocculant/biosurfactant-producing Bacillus sp. SS15 and its metabolites. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 302:134870. [PMID: 35537625 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134870] [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: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Fracturing flowback fluids (FFFs), which is generated from the process of oil and gas exploitation, is one of the major environmental concerns. In this study, a bacterial strain, Bacillus sp. SS15, capable of producing both bioflocculant (BF) and biosurfactant (BS), was isolated from oil-contaminated mudflat sediment. The BS produced by SS15 was identified as lipopeptide, which could reduce the surface tension of water from 74.2 mN/m to 36.6 mN/m with a critical micelle concentration of 44.4 mg/L. It also exhibited strong tolerance against a wide range of pH (2-12), temperature (4-60 °C), and salinity (0-100 g/L). Meanwhile, the BF produced by SS15 exhibited high flocculating activity (84.9%) for kaolin suspension, and was confirmed to be thermostable, salt-tolerant, and alkaliphilic. The combined treatment of bioremediation (introducing SS15 and BS) followed by flocculation (introducing BF) greatly promoted the removal of chroma (85.7% reduction), suspended solids (94.4% reduction), chemical oxygen demand (84.9% reduction), n-alkanes (50.0% reduction), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (66.5% reduction), respectively. The genome analysis showed that strain SS15 possessed abundant genes related to the synthesis of carbohydrate, protein, and lipid, which might play an important role in BF and BS synthesis. The findings in this study demonstrated that Bacillus sp. SS15 has promising prospect in the remediation of FFFs.

Abstract
In view of the diversification of pollutants in current sewage, further improving the application efficiency of water treatment agents and realizing multi-functionalization are important directions for the research of water treatment agents. In this paper, on the basis of the natural polymer flocculant chitosan, MAPTAC and AM were used as modified monomers to improve its solubility and also enhance its flocculation and bactericidal properties. Furthermore, the preparation conditions of chitosan flocculant poly(CTS-g-AM-MAPTAC) were optimized by response surface methodology, and its flocculation and sterilization functions were evaluated in detail. The experimental results showed that the significance order of the factors in the preparation process was illumination time, mass ratio of total monomer to chitosan, molar ratio of monomers, and initiator concentration. The optimum conditions for preparing poly(CTS-g-AM-MAPTAC) were 6 moL L-1 for initiator concentration, 4 for mass ratio of total monomer to chitosan, 25% for monomer molar ratio, and 60 min for illumination time. The intrinsic viscosity and grafting rate of poly(CTS-g-AM-MAPTAC) prepared under optimum conditions were 5.4965 dL g-1 and 220.34%. The obtained poly(CTS-g-AM-MAPTAC) had good solubility, which could fully expose the active sites in wastewater with different acidity and had good flocculation effect. The performance evaluation results showed that the flocculant had a good combination of flocculation and sterilization, and had the advantages of high turbidity removal and sterilization efficiency, good biodegradability and low reagent consumption.

Abstract
Bioflocculant-producing bacteria were isolated from various water reservoirs and sediments of the water treatment plant. Four promising strains were identified by standard biochemical methods and 16s rRNA gene sequencing. Bioflocculants were produced in a batch bioreactor of 3 L under optimized conditions. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to confirm the chemical and morphological nature of bioflocculants. Anionic and cationic textile dyes congo red (CR) and rhodamine-B (RB) decolourization efficiency by ethanol precipitated bioflocculants were accessed under different values of pH, temperature, dose of flocculant and presence of monovalent, divalent and trivalent cations. Bioflocculants of all the four isolates were found to be highly efficient in decolourization of dye from an aqueous medium with the removal rate up to 99.56%. The removal rate of CR and RB from aqueous medium was largely influenced by the physiochemical condition of the solution viz. pH, temperature, concentration of ions and dose of flocculants. The microbial bioflocculants are biodegradable and highly stable as well as possess abroad range of pH, temperature and ions tolerance range. So, they may be economical and can be greener substitutes for the present harsh chemical-based wastewater effluent treatment methods.

Combination of biochar and immobilized bacteria accelerates polyacrylamide biodegradation in soil by both bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation strategies. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 405:124086.

Abstract
Polyacrylamide (PAM) has been used extensively due to its well-known stable chemical properties, but limited information is available on the biodegradation of soil-containing PAM. In this work, sufficient degradation of PAM was achieved via the addition of the Klebsiella sp. PCX-biochar composite to PAM-containing soil, due to the synergic effect of bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation. The optimal degradation rate of 69.1% over 30-day period was observed under the following conditions: the addition of immobilized bacteria at 0.07 g/g, pH 6.6, and temperature at 38.0 °C. In this study, we showed that PAM was successfully hydrolyzed by amidase, and ammonia in the hydrolysis product was then oxidized by the nitrifying bacteria. The decrease of water-extractable organic carbon (WEOC) also demonstrated the chain cleavage in PAM. PAM was utilized as a carbon source not only by Klebsiella sp. PCX but also by some taxa from indigenous bacteria. Last but not least, it was shown in this study that biochar, even though immobilized with exogenous microorganisms, actually enhanced bacterial diversity and stimulated the growth of some indigenous PAM-degrading taxa. Based on the above observations, we concluded that PAM biodegradation via the addition of bacteria-immobilized biochar was a synergy of both bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation strategies.

Abstract
A highly efficient bioflocculant, i.e., Na-Bsp was successfully prepared by using a tolerant strain-Bacillus sp. under high-salt condition without sterilization. Salt-containing medium was not infected by other strains throughout the whole incubation period in 168 h. The as-prepared Na-Bsp was found to be cation-dependent, exhibiting high flocculant efficiency (FE) i.e., 97.69 ± 0.61%, towards kaolin particles by aid of Fe3+. High FE values were well maintained under a wide pH range and/or boiled water treatment, likely because of the main constituent of polysaccharide. The presence of hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amine groups on the bioflocculant surface were possibly responsible for strong interactions with heavy metals. The adsorption capacities of Pb2+, Cu2+ and Cr6+ were 1000.0, 434.8 and 384.6 mg g-1, respectively. The changing of structure and configuration of bioflocculant during the metal adsorption were explored by the scanning electron microscope with electron energy loss spectroscopy and three-dimensional excitation-emission fluorescence spectrometry. This study provided a novel production method, whereby the conventional sterilization could be avoided, which is of great environmental significance for steam-saving. Furthermore, the as-prepared Na-Bsp exhibited high adsorption capacities toward heavy metals, which sheds lights on its potential usage as an alternative adsorbent.

Abstract
Straw ash-washing wastewater is generated in the process of straw combustion power generation and potash fertilizer production. The suspended solid particles in straw ash-washing wastewater are hard to be settled down due to its low-density and high pH properties which inhibit the application of traditional chemical flocculants. Bioflocculant has good advantages in flocculating activity, biodegradability and adaptability of wastewater pH fluctuation. However, high production cost limited the large-scale applications of bioflocculant in wastewater treatment. In this study, the feasibility of using feather waste as cheap alternative nitrogen source of alkaliphilic Bacillus agaradhaerens C9 to produce bioflocculant was investigated. The results showed that strain C9 could simultaneously produce keratinase and bioflocculant, and thereby producing bioflocculant (named as BFF) using feather waste as cheap nitrogen source. The optimal fermentation conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis of feather waste and BFF production was 40 g/L feather wastes, 16 g/L glucose, 37 °C and pH 9.5, and the highest yield of 2.5 g/L was obtained. Moreover, BFF was used to flocculate straw ash-washing wastewater which exhibits low-density and high pH properties, and the highest flocculating rate of 93.1% was achieved when 6.0 mg/L BFF was added. This study reported for the first time that feather waste was used as inexpensive alternative nitrogen source for producing bioflocculant which could treat straw ash-washing wastewater, thereby promoting the resourceful utilization of feather waste and the reuse of straw ash-washing wastewater.

Abstract
A novel bioflocculant (BW-P3) was produced by a strain of Enterobacter sp. P3 using brewery wastewater as substrate and was further applied to remove the colored substance of fracturing flowback water. The optimum conditions for bioflocculant production were specified by the response surface methodology as COD of brewery wastewater 1487.77 mg/L, glucose 8.94 g/L and initial pH 7.09, under which a bioflocculant yield of 1.274 g/L could be reached. The BW-P3 consists of 79.12% polysaccharides and 15.63% protein. Results show that BW-P3 has a high molecular weight (921 kDa) and contains functional groups (hydroxyl, amino, carbonyl, and acylamino) that likely contribute to flocculation. When using the BW-P3 to flocculate fracturing flowback water, the optimal dosage was 1 g/L BW-P3 with addition of 100 mg/L polymeric aluminum chloride as coagulant aid, and treated under 50 °C at pH 7. Under the optimal condition, the removal rates of chroma and suspended solids (SS) of the fracturing flowback water could reach 85% and 52%, respectively.

Abstract
High cost is one of the limiting factors in the industrial production of bioflocculant. Simultaneous preparation of bioflocculant from the contaminants in wastewater was considered as a potential approach to reduce the production cost. In this study, butyronitrile and succinonitrile were verified as sole nitrogen sources for the growth of strain K. oxytoca GS-4-08 in batch experiments. Moreover, more than 90 % of the mixed nitriles could be degraded in a continuous flow reactor, and the bioflocculant could be prepared simultaneously in the effluent. All the as-prepared bioflocculants exhibited high flocculation efficiencies of over 90 % toward Kaolin solution. FTIR and XPS results further unveiled that, the bioflocculant samples with abundance of carboxyl, amine and hydroxyl groups may play an important role on adsorption of Pd2+. The adsorption process could be well simulated by Freundlich model, and the Kf values were as high as 452.8 mg1-1/n l1/n g-1. The results obtained in this study not only confirm the technical feasibility for preparation of bioflocculant from various single nitrile and/or mixed nitriles, but also promise its economic feasibility.
