Optimizing the Growth Conditions of the Selected Plant-Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Paenibacillus sp. MVY-024 for Industrial Scale Production. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11050745. [PMID: 35625473 PMCID: PMC9138474 DOI: 10.3390/biology11050745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary Nitrogen is one of the most important elements for plant growth and development. However, irrational fertilization causes many environmental problems: high rates of nitrogen fertilizers change the soil pH, encourage nitrate and nitrite accumulation in plants and the soil, leached nitrogen compounds cause water eutrophication and drinking water contamination, and gaseous losses of nitrogen contribute to global warming. The biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) process, in which atmospheric nitrogen is converted to ammonia by microorganisms, has a significant role in the global nitrogen cycle and agriculture. Nitrogen-fixing-bacteria inoculants could help to reduce the losses of consistently rising prices of mineral fertilizers and help to implement green revolution strategies. In this research, we found the bacteria strain Paenibacillus sp. MVY-024 that has a positive impact on nitrogen accumulation in spring wheat and was easily applied on an industrial scale. Abstract In this study, thirteen isolates, which were possibly expected to fix nitrogen, were isolated from soil and pea root nodules and identified by the gene analysis of 16S rDNA sequences. Two of these isolates that were able to form endospores and grow on nitrogen-free media were selected for spring wheat development research. The isolate Paenibacillus sp. S7 identified as Paenibacillus polymyxa was found to significantly increase the amount of ammonium and mineral N amounts in the soil. Furthermore, increased nitrogen accumulation in grains and a chlorophyll index were obtained after wheat treatment. Paenibacillus sp. S7 isolate was selected for further studies and the accession number MT900581 and strain name MVY-024 in NCBI nucleotide bank for this isolate were assigned. During the cultivation of Paenibacillus sp. MVY-024, sugarcane molasses and a yeast extract were determined as the most suitable carbon and nitrogen sources, whose optimal concentrations were 100 g L−1 and 10 g L−1, respectively. The optimal pH range for the cell culture was between 6.5 and 7.0, and the optimal air flow rate was 0.4 vvm. It was found that the air flow has an effect on biomass production and endospore formation. After Paenibacillus sp. MVY-024 biomass cultivation optimization, the cultured cell number was, on average, 2.2 × 109 cfu m L−1.

Abstract
In recent years, close attention has been paid to microbial flocculants because of their advantages, including safety to humans, environmental friendliness, and acceptable removal performances. In this review, the preparation methods of microbial flocculants were first reviewed. Then, the performances of bioflocculants in the removal of suspended solids, heavy metals, and other organic pollutants from various types of wastewater were described and commented, and the removal mechanisms, including adsorption bridging, charge neutralization, chemical reactions, and charge neutrality, were also discussed. The future research needs on microbial flocculants were also proposed. This review would lead to a better understanding of current status, challenges, and corresponding strategies on microbial flocculants and bioflocculation in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Klebsiella variicola B16, a microbial bioflocculant (MBF-B16)-producing bacteria, was isolated and identified by its 16S rRNA sequence, biochemical properties, and physiological characteristics. The effects of culture conditions on MBF-B16 production, including carbon source, nitrogen source, C/N ratio, initial pH, and culture temperature, were investigated in this study. Results showed that 6.96 g of MBF-B16 could be extracted from a 1-L culture broth under optimized conditions. Chemical analysis showed that polysaccharide and protein were the main components. The neutral sugar consisted of galactose only, which was proposed in Klebsiella genus for the first time. In addition, a composite flocculant (CF) that contains polyaluminum ferric chloride (PAFC) and MBF-B16 for the removal of turbidity and SS in drinking water was optimized by response surface methodology. CF could reduce PAFC dosage by about 56.2-72%. Charge neutralization and adsorption bridging effect were the primary flocculation mechanisms.

Abstract
Chemical flocculants are generally used in drinking water and wastewater treatment due to their efficacy and cost effectiveness. However, the question of their toxicity to human health and environmental pollution has been a major concern. In this article, we review the application of some chemical flocculants utilized in water treatment, and bioflocculants as a potential alternative to these chemical flocculants. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report in the literature that provides an up‐to‐date review of the relevant literature on both chemical flocculants and bioflocculants in one paper. As a result, this review paper comprehensively discussed the various chemical flocculants used in water treatment, including their advantages and disadvantages. It also gave insights into bioflocculants production, challenges, various factors influencing their flocculating efficiency and their industrial applications, as well as future research directions including improvement of bioflocculants yields and flocculating activity, and production of cation‐independent bioflocculants. The molecular biology and synthesis of bioflocculants are also discussed.

Abstract
We reported earlier on the bioflocculant production potential of Halobacillus sp. Mvuyo, a marine bacteria isolated from Algoa Bay sediment samples. In this paper we report on the detailed characterization of the purified bioflocculant composed of polysaccharide and protein. The optimum dose of the purified bioflocculant for the clarification of 4 g l(-1) kaolin clay suspension was 0.2 mg ml(-1) at neutral pH. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed the bioflocculant to have an amorphous structure. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum exhibited the presence of hydroxyl, carboxyl and amino groups in its structure. The bioflocculant was thermostable with relative bioflocculant activity residue of 74.4% after heat treatment at 100 degrees C. Moreover thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) exhibited a degradation temperature (Td) of - 140 degrees C. The flocculation efficiency of the bioflocculant was 86.2% compared with 82.6%, 74.5% and 70.9% for polyethylimine, ferric chloride and alum, respectively. This bioflocculant has immense promise as a substitute to inorganic and synthetic flocculants in view of their hazard implications.

Abstract
A bioflocculant-producing bacteria isolated from marine sediment of Algoa Bay was assessed for its bioflocculant-producing potentials. Based on 16S recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) sequence analysis, the isolate was identified as Halobacillus sp. and deposited in the Genbank as Halobacillus sp. Mvuyo with accession number HQ537125. The bacteria produced bioflocculant optimally in the presence of glucose (76% flocculating activity) and ammonium chloride (93% flocculating activity) as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively. The flocculating capabilities of the flocculant were increased by the addition of Ca2+ (76% flocculating activity) and the highest flocculating activity was observed at neutral pH (7.0). The chemical analysis of the bioflocculant revealed that it contained mainly polysaccharide and protein.

Abstract
Microbial diversity is a major resource for biotechnological products and processes. Bacteria are the most dominant group of this diversity which produce a wide range of products of industrial significance. Paenibacillus polymyxa (formerly Bacillus polymyxa), a non pathogenic and endospore-forming Bacillus, is one of the most industrially significant facultative anaerobic bacterium. It occurs naturally in soil, rhizosphere and roots of crop plants and in marine sediments. During the last two decades, there has been a growing interest for their ecological and biotechnological importance, despite their limited genomic information. P. polymyxa has a wide range of properties, including nitrogen fixation, plant growth promotion, soil phosphorus solubilisation and production of exopolysaccharides, hydrolytic enzymes, antibiotics, cytokinin. It also helps in bioflocculation and in the enhancement of soil porosity. In addition, it is known to produce optically active 2,3-butanediol (BDL), a potentially valuable chemical compound from a variety of carbohydrates. The present review article aims to provide an overview of the various roles that these microorganisms play in the environment and their biotechnological potential.
