Abstract
Heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) contaminated saline soil appeared around the world, however, remediation regarding these collected from field conditions remains unknown. Native plants cultivation and bio-organic fertilizer (BOF) application were two efficient tools for soil amelioration. Herein, a pot experiment was conducted to examine the feasibility of a native plant (Leymus chinensis) for phytoremediation, and investigate the impacts of lignite based bio-organic fertilizer (LBOF) and manure based bio-organic fertilizer (MBOF) on phytoremediation of the soil contaminated by Pb, Cd, As, Zn, Cu, Ca2+, and SO42-. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of L. chinensis and highlighted the positive impacts of BOF according to the improved plant growth, HMs phytostabilization, salt removal, and soil properties. LBOF and MBOF changed soil microbiome to assist phytoremediation in addition to physiological modulation. Having enhanced fungal and bacterial richness respectively, LBOF and MBOF recruited various plant growth promoting rhizobacteria with different functions, and shifted microbial co-occurrence networks and keystone taxa towards these different but beneficial forms. Structural equation models comprehensively reveled the strategy discrepancy of LBOF and MBOF to regulate the plant biomass, HMs uptake, and soil salt. In summary, L. chinensis coupled with BOF, especially LBOF, was a effective strategy to remediate HMs contaminated saline soil.

(DC.) living on oceanic seashore: A large source of diversity revealed by using multiple isolation methods. ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY REPORTS 2022; 14:856-872. [PMID: 35860838 PMCID: PMC9796121 DOI: 10.1111/1758-2229.13105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 04/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Recently, the study of the interactions within a microcosm between hosts and their associated microbial communities drew an unprecedented interest arising from the holobiont concept. Lichens, a symbiotic association between a fungus and an alga, are redefined as complex ecosystems considering the tremendous array of associated microorganisms that satisfy this concept. The present study focuses on the diversity of the microbiota associated with the seashore located lichen Rhizocarpon geographicum, recovered by different culture-dependent methods. Samples harvested from two sites allowed the isolation and the molecular identification of 68 fungal isolates distributed in 43 phylogenetic groups, 15 bacterial isolates distributed in five taxonomic groups and three microalgae belonging to two species. Moreover, for 12 fungal isolates belonging to 10 different taxa, the genus was not described in GenBank. These fungal species have never been sequenced or described and therefore non-studied. All these findings highlight the novel and high diversity of the microflora associated with R. geographicum. While many species disappear every day, this work suggests that coastal and wild environments still contain an unrevealed variety to offer and that lichens constitute a great reservoir of new microbial taxa which can be recovered by multiplying the culture-dependent techniques.

Abstract
This study focused on Pb (II) elimination from aqueous solutions using fungal soil isolate which is identified as Aspergillus neoalliaceus. The sorption of lead with fungal mass studies was performed as a function of pH, biomass dose, contact time, and initial dye concentration. The solution pH value strongly affected the sorption of lead fungal mass. To examine the effect of hydrogen ions on biosorption in solutions containing lead, solutions with different pH values were used and pH 5 was found to be the most suitable pH value for lead removal. Lead biosorption remained very low below pH 4 because of the competing effect of hydrogen ions in the solution. It has been observed that the removal of lead ions based on biosorption with Aspergillus neoalliaceus is better explained by Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models compared to other used models. The biosorption of Pb (II) was determined as a spontaneous and endothermic process.

Abstract
In this study, the Pb(II) biosorption performance of newly isolated fungal strain, used as a biosorbent, was analyzed. Fungal strain was identified as Backusella circina according to the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Following Pb(II) biosorption, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was performed to compare pristine and Pb(II) biosorped biomass. The effects of pH, fungal biomass amount, temperature, interfering metal ions, initial concentration of Pb(II) and contact time on biosorption performance of B. circina were examined to optimize the biosorption conditions from aqueous solutions. It was observed that optimum Pb(II) biosorption was performed at pH 6.0. Maximum Pb(II) biosorption capacity was found to be 30.69 at 50 mg/L initial concentration of Pb(II) and equilibrium was established after 60 min. It was indicated that the equilibrium data were better fitted to Langmuir isotherm model and it is better to interpret the kinetic data by the pseudo-second-order model. The competitive Pb(II) biosorption capacity was found to be increased in the presence of co-existing metal ions. To the best of knowledge from related literature, Pb(II) biosorption performance of B. circina has not been reported in advance. In conclusion, Pb(II) biosorption performance of B. circina was revealed as an efficient biosorbent in terms of no requirement of modification, ease of preparation and low cost obtainability.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in soil and water is a potential threat to human health as it renders food quality substandard. Different biosorbents such as microbial and agricultural biomass have been exploited for heavy metal immobilization in soil and sorptive removal in waters. Biosorption is an effective and sustainable method for heavy metal removal in soil and water, but the inherent challenges are to find cheap, selective, robust, and cost-effective bioadsorbents. Microbial and agricultural biomass and their modified forms such as nanocomposites and carbonaceous materials (viz., biochar, nanobiochar, biocarbon), might be useful for sequestration of heavy metals in soil via adsorption, ion exchange, complexation, precipitation, and enzymatic transformation mechanisms. In this review, potential biosorbents and their metal removal capacity in soil and water are discussed. The microbial adsorbents and modified composites of agricultural biomasses show improved performance, stability, reusability, and effectively immobilize heavy metals from soil and water. In the future, researchers may consider the modified composites, encapsulated biosorbents for soil and water remediation.

Heavy Metal-Resistant Filamentous Fungi as Potential Mercury Bioremediators. J Fungi (Basel) 2021; 7:jof7050386. [PMID: 34069296 PMCID: PMC8156478 DOI: 10.3390/jof7050386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Revised: 05/09/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Filamentous fungi native to heavy metals (HMs) contaminated sites have great potential for bioremediation, yet are still often underexploited. This research aimed to assess the HMs resistance and Hg remediation capacity of fungi isolated from the rhizosphere of plants resident on highly Hg-contaminated substrate. Analysis of Hg, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Cd concentrations by X-ray spectrometry generated the ecological risk of the rhizosphere soil. A total of 32 HM-resistant fungal isolates were molecularly identified. Their resistance spectrum for the investigated elements was characterized by tolerance indices (TIs) and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Clustering analysis of TIs was coupled with isolates’ phylogeny to evaluate HMs resistance patterns. The bioremediation potential of five isolates’ live biomasses, in 100 mg/L Hg2+ aqueous solution over 48 h at 120 r/min, was quantified by atomic absorption spectrometry. New species or genera that were previously unrelated to Hg-contaminated substrates were identified. Ascomycota representatives were common, diverse, and exhibited varied HMs resistance spectra, especially towards the elements with ecological risk, in contrast to Mucoromycota-recovered isolates. HMs resistance patterns were similar within phylogenetically related clades, although isolate specific resistance occurred. Cladosporium sp., Didymella glomerata, Fusarium oxysporum, Phoma costaricensis, and Sarocladium kiliense isolates displayed very high MIC (mg/L) for Hg (140–200), in addition to Pb (1568), Cu (381), Zn (2092–2353), or Cd (337). The Hg biosorption capacity of these highly Hg-resistant species ranged from 33.8 to 54.9 mg/g dry weight, with a removal capacity from 47% to 97%. Thus, the fungi identified herein showed great potential as bioremediators for highly Hg-contaminated aqueous substrates.

Abstract
Our environment thrives on the subtle balance achieved by the forever cyclical nature of building and rebuilding life through natural processes. Fungi, being the evident armor of bioremediation, is the indispensable element of the soil food web, contribute to be the nature's most dynamic arsenal with non-specific enzymes like peroxidase (POX), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), non-enzymatic compounds like thiol (-SH) groups and non-protein compounds such as glutathione (GSH) and metallothionein (MT). Recently, the area of nanomycoremediation has been gaining momentum as a powerful tool for environmental clean-up strategies with its ability to detoxify heavy metals with its unique characteristics to adapt mechanisms such as biosorption, bioconversion, and biodegradation to harmless end products. The insight into the elaborate secretomic processes provides us with huge opportunities for creating a magnificent living bioremediation apparatus. This review discusses the scope and recent advances in the lesser understood area, nanomycoremediation, the state-of-the-art, innovative, cost-effective and promising tool for detoxification of heavy metal pollutants and focuses on the metabolic capabilities and secretomics with nanobiotechnological interventions.

Abstract
The Allchar mineral mine is one of the oldest arsenic-antimony mines in the Republic of North Macedonia. The mine is a well-known reservoir of the worldwide purest source of the thallium-bearing mineral, lorandite (TlAsS2). The current study evaluated the bacterial and fungal diversity of three As- and Tl-contaminated sites in Allchar mineral mine. We used a combination of high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatic analyses. Trace metal content was detected using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Our analysis showed the presence of 25 elements and confirmed a high concentration of As and Tl. Alpha diversity indices suggested a high diversity and evenness of bacterial and fungal communities. Bacterial phyla that dominated the environment were Bacteroidetes, Acidobacteria, Planctomycetes, Actinobacteria and Verrucomicrobia. Looking at the genus level, we found the following groups of bacteria: Chryseolinea, Opitutus, Flavobacterium, Pseudomonas, Terrimonas, Sphingomonas and Reyranella. For the fungi genera, we report Tetracladium sp., Coprinellus micaceus, Coprinus sp. from Ascomycota and Basidiomycota phyla in all sites. We also observed a high abundance of the fungal species Pilidium sp., Dendroclathra lignicola, Rosellinia desmazieri, Hypomyces rosellus and Coprinellus disseminatus. This study is the first to identify specific As- and Tl-tolerant fungal (Pilidium sp., Cladophialophora sp., Neobulgaria sp. and Mycena acicula) and bacterial (Trichococcus, Devosia, Litorilinea and Gimesia) genera from Allchar mine, suggesting bioremediation and industrial potential.

Metal and Phosphate Ions Show Remarkable Influence on the Biomass Production and Lipid Accumulation in Oleaginous Mucor circinelloides. J Fungi (Basel) 2020; 6:jof6040260.

Abstract
The biomass of Mucor circinelloides, a dimorphic oleaginous filamentous fungus, has a significant nutritional value and can be used for single cell oil production. Metal ions are micronutrients supporting fungal growth and metabolic activity of cellular processes. We investigated the effect of 140 different substrates, with varying amounts of metal and phosphate ions concentration, on the growth, cell chemistry, lipid accumulation, and lipid profile of M. circinelloides. A high-throughput set-up consisting of a Duetz microcultivation system coupled to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was utilized. Lipids were extracted by a modified Lewis method and analyzed using gas chromatography. It was observed that Mg and Zn ions were essential for the growth and metabolic activity of M. circinelloides. An increase in Fe ion concentration inhibited fungal growth, while higher concentrations of Cu, Co, and Zn ions enhanced the growth and lipid accumulation. Lack of Ca and Cu ions, as well as higher amounts of Zn and Mn ions, enhanced lipid accumulation in M. circinelloides. Generally, the fatty acid profile of M. circinelloides lipids was quite consistent, irrespective of media composition. Increasing the amount of Ca ions enhanced polyphosphates accumulation, while lack of it showed fall in polyphosphate.

Abstract
Chemical reagents used in traditional mineral processing can be toxic and hazardous for the environment. Therefore, the use of biotechnological methods is becoming increasingly important. Great hopes are being placed in the use of microorganisms for bio-beneficiation of raw materials. However, assessment of adhesion abilities of bacteria onto minerals surface as well as biosorption of metals are essential steps before designing final process of each ore beneficiation. The main aim of this work was an investigation of biosorption of Cd and Mg, as well as adhesion abilities of five microorganism species with minerals included in the natural mixture of phosphate ore form Djebel Onk, Algeria. The ore, due to its unique composition, created conditions for adhesion of all five tested microbial strains onto apatite surface during incubation at pH 3. Moreover, Rhodococcus erythropolis CD 130, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Escherichia coli adhered distinctly onto apatite surface during incubation at pH 7. Incubation lasting 20 min at pH 4-6 created the most favorable conditions for biosorption of metals by B. subtilis and adhesion of cells. In case of C. albicans, biosorption of metals as well as adhesion of cells onto the mineral surface were more effective after longer time and in a wider pH range.

Abstract
Seventy years of research on Western Pacific amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinsonism-dementia Complex (ALS/PDC) have provided invaluable data on the etiology, molecular pathogenesis and latency of this disappearing, largely environmental neurodegenerative disease. ALS/PDC is linked to genotoxic chemicals (notably methylazoxymethanol, MAM) derived from seed of the cycad plant (Cycas spp.) that were used as a traditional food and/or medicine in all three disease-affected Western Pacific populations. MAM, nitrosamines and hydrazines generate methyl free radicals that damage DNA (in the form of O6-methylguanine lesions) that can induce mutations in cycling cells and degenerative changes in post-mitotic cells, notably neurons. This paper explores exposures to naturally occurring and manmade sources of nitrosamines and hydrazines in association with sporadic forms of ALS (with or without frontotemporal degeneration), progressive supranuclear palsy, and Alzheimer disease. Research approaches are suggested to examine whether these associations might have etiological significance.
