CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 343:140232. [PMID: 37734508 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
Cr(VI) widely exists in the environment and has highly toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic effects on all organisms. Physical/chemical methods to remove chromium pollution are economically expensive and have disadvantages like high reagent consumption, energy requirements and so on, while bioremediation is an eco-friendly, simple and cost-effective way. In this study, a novel Cr(VI)-reducing strain, Microbacterium sp. NEAU-W11, was reported, and its reduction mechanism was investigated. Microbacterium sp. NEAU-W11 could effectively degrade Cr(VI) under the conditions of pH 7-10, 15-35 °C, and the coexistence of metal pollutants such as Pb and Ni, etc. In addition, both Fe3+ and Cu2+ could improve the reducing ability of strain NEAU-W11, and glucose and lactose as electron donors also had promoting effect. Heat treatment of resting cells confirmed that chromium removal was not biological sorption but biological reduction. The active reductase of strain NEAU-W11 to chromium(VI) mainly existed in the cell cytoplasm, which is the first report in the genus Microbacterium. Micro-characterization of strain NEAU-W11 and the reduction products identified the reduction products as Cr(III)-ligand complexes bound to extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Collectively, this study systematically investigated the degradation mechanism of Microbacterium sp. NEAU-W11 and the distribution of degradation product Cr(III), providing a new reduction mechanism for the genus Microbacterium, providing a new perspective for a comprehensive understanding of the degradation and transport of chromium by bacteria, and providing theoretical reference for the migration of metal ions in environmental governance.

Abstract
Astaxanthin (AX), a lipid-soluble pigment belonging to the xanthophyll carotenoids family, has recently garnered significant attention due to its unique physical properties, biochemical attributes, and physiological effects. Originally recognized primarily for its role in imparting the characteristic red-pink color to various organisms, AX is currently experiencing a surge in interest and research. The growing body of literature in this field predominantly focuses on AXs distinctive bioactivities and properties. However, the potential of algae-derived AX as a solution to various global environmental and societal challenges that threaten life on our planet has not received extensive attention. Furthermore, the historical context and the role of AX in nature, as well as its significance in diverse cultures and traditional health practices, have not been comprehensively explored in previous works. This review article embarks on a comprehensive journey through the history leading up to the present, offering insights into the discovery of AX, its chemical and physical attributes, distribution in organisms, and biosynthesis. Additionally, it delves into the intricate realm of health benefits, biofunctional characteristics, and the current market status of AX. By encompassing these multifaceted aspects, this review aims to provide readers with a more profound understanding and a robust foundation for future scientific endeavors directed at addressing societal needs for sustainable nutritional and medicinal solutions. An updated summary of AXs health benefits, its present market status, and potential future applications are also included for a well-rounded perspective.

Cell wall breaking of Haematococcus pluvialis biomass facilitated by Baijiu jiuqu fermentation with simultaneously production of beverages. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 379:129041. [PMID: 37037338 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129041] [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: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
The microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis is a commercial source of natural astaxanthin. However, mature cells develop rigid three-layer wall structures and a repulsive odor. This study applied a liquid static fermentation system to screen hydrolyzing microorganisms for cell wall hydrolysis. Baijiu jiuqu and Gutian hongqu were found to have promising potential for application. The fermentation using 2% baijiu jiuqu and 2% glucose for pre-activation achieved comparable recovery of carotenoids to homogenizer disruption methods and produced stable fragrance which may be attributed to ethyl octanoate, hexyl formate, and phenethyl butyrate, as revealed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. The abundance of astaxanthin molecules was slightly affected by fermentation with fold change < 2, while molecules with higher fold change (>10) were mainly carbohydrates, lipids, and steroids proving the safety of the fermentation. This study provides a new scheme for the biorefining of Haematococcus. pluvialis, potentially contributing to the industrial production of natural astaxanthin.

Abstract
Single-cell sequencing (SCS) is an evolutionary technique for conducting life science research, providing the highest genome-sale throughput and single-cell resolution and unprecedented capabilities in addressing mechanistic and operational questions. Unfortunately, the current SCS pipeline cannot be directly applied to algal research as algal cells have cell walls, which makes RNA extraction hard for the current SCS platforms. Fortunately, effective methods are available for producing algal protoplasts (cells without cell walls), which can be directly fed into current SCS pipelines. In this review, we first summarize the cell wall structure and chemical composition of algal cell walls, particularly in Chlorophyta, then summarize the advances made in preparing algal protoplasts using physical, chemical, and biological methods, followed by specific cases of algal protoplast production in some commonly used eukaryotic algae. This review provides a timely primer to those interested in applying SCS in eukaryotic algal research.

Abstract
The green microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is an excellent source of astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant widely used in cosmetics, aquaculture, health foods, and pharmaceuticals. This review explores recent developments in cell disruption and astaxanthin extraction techniques applied using H. pluvialis as a model species for large-scale algal biorefinery. Notably, this alga develops a unique cyst-like cell with a rigid three-layered cell wall during astaxanthin accumulation (∼4% of dry weight) under stress. The thick (∼2 µm), acetolysis-resistant cell wall forms the strongest barrier to astaxanthin extraction. Various physical, chemical, and biological cell disruption methods were discussed and compared based on theoretical mechanisms, biomass status (wet, dry, and live), cell-disruption efficacy, astaxanthin extractability, cost, scalability, synergistic combinations, and impact on the stress-sensitive astaxanthin content. The challenges and future prospects of the downstream processes for the sustainable and economic development of advanced H. pluvialis biorefineries are also outlined.

Abstract
The bioreduction of Cr(VI) and Hg(II) has become a hot topic in the field of heavy metals bioremediation. However, the mechanism of antioxidant stress in Cr(VI) and Hg(II) reducing bacteria is still not clear. In this work, a novel Cr(VI) and Hg(II) reducing strain Acinetobacter indicus yy-1, was isolated from chromium landfill at a chromate factory, which was used to investigate the mechanism of antioxidant stress during the Cr(VI) and Hg(II) reduction process. The results demonstrated that the removal of Cr(VI) and Hg(II) by A. indicus yy-1 from solution was through reduction rather than biosorption. The reduction rates of Cr(VI) and Hg(II) by resting cells reached 59.71% and 31.73% at 24 h with initial concentration of 10 mg L-1, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis further showed that Cr(III) and Hg(0) were mainly the Cr(VI)- and Hg(II)-reduced productions, respectively. Results of physiological assays showed Hg(II) was more toxic to A. indicus yy-1 than Cr(VI), and the activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) were significantly increased in A. indicus yy-1 for relieving the oxidative stress. The transcriptional level of genes related to Cr(VI) and Hg(II) reductases and antioxidant enzymes were up-regulated, indicating that the reductases have participated in the reduction of Cr(VI) and Hg(II), and SOD and CAT served as the vital antioxidant enzymes for defending the oxidative stress. This work provides a deep insight into the mechanism of antioxidant stress in Cr(VI) and Hg(II) reducing bacteria, which helps seek the highly resistant heavy metal reducing bacteria.

Abstract
Intensive research on the use of magnetic nanoparticles for biotechnological applications of microalgae biomass guided the development of proper treatment to successfully incorporate them into these single-cell microorganisms. Protoplasts, as cells lacking a cell wall, are extensively used in plant/microalgae genetic manipulation as well as various biotechnological applications. In this work, a detailed study on the formation of protoplasts from Haematococcus pluvialis with the use of enzymatic and mechanical procedures was performed. The optimization of several parameters affecting the formation of protoplasmic cells and cell recovery was investigated. In the enzymatic treatment, a solution of cellulase was studied at different time points of incubation, whereas in the mechanical treatment, glass beads vortexing was used. Mechanical treatment gave better results in comparison to the enzymatic one. Concerning the cell recovery, after the protoplast formation, it was found to be similar in both methods used; cell viability was not investigated. To enhance the protoplast cell wall reconstruction, different “recovery media” with an organic source of carbon or nitrogen were used. Cell morphology during all treatments was evaluated by electron microscopy. The optimal conditions found for protoplast formation and cell reconstruction were successfully used to produce Haematococcus pluvialis cells with magnetic properties.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2019; 184:109636. [PMID: 31536849 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2019.109636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2019] [Revised: 08/30/2019] [Accepted: 09/03/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Bioremediation of chromium (Cr(Ⅵ)) contaminations has been widely reported, but the research on its removal mechanism is still scarce. Studies on Cr(Ⅵ) removal by strains affiliated to genus Pseudochobactrum revealed the Cr(Ⅵ) efficiency removal through the reduction of Cr(Ⅵ) to Cr(Ⅲ). However, the location of Cr(Ⅵ) reduction reaction and exact mechanism are still unspecified. In this work, a Gram-positive bacterial strain, Pseudochrobactrum saccharolyticum W1 (P. saccharolyticum W1) was isolated and tested to remove approximately 53.7% of Cr(Ⅵ) (initial concentration was 200 mg L-1) from the MSM medium. Analysis of SEM-EDS and TEM-EDS indicated that chromium-containing particles precipitated both on the cell surface and in the cytoplasm. Batch experiments indicated that the heat-treated bacterial cells almost had no ability to remove Cr(Ⅵ) from solution, while the resting cells could remove 62.0% of Cr(Ⅵ) at the initial concentration of 10 mg L-1. Additionally, at this concentration, 64.8% and 70.8% of Cr(Ⅵ) was reduced by cell envelope components and intracellular soluble substances after 6 h, respectively. These results suggested that the removal of Cr(Ⅵ) by P. saccharolyticum W1 was through direct reduction, which occurred on both cell envelop and cytoplasm. The results also showed that cytoplasm was the main site for Cr(Ⅵ) reduction compared to the cell envelop. Further analysis of FTIR and XPS verified that C-H, C-C, CO, C-OH and C-O-C groups of cells involved in correlation with chromium during Cr(Ⅵ) reduction. The study offered an insight into the Cr(VI) reduction mechanism of P. saccharolyticum W1.

Abstract
Haematococcus pluvialis has high commercial value, yet it displays low development of genetic transformation systems. In this research, the endogenous 5' and 3' flanking sequences of the constitutive alpha tubulin (tub) gene were cloned along with its encoding region in H. pluvialis, in which some putative promoter elements and polyadenylation signals were identified, respectively. Three selection markers of tub/aadA, tub/hyr and tub/ble with three different antibiotic-resistance genes fused between the endogenous tub promoter (Ptub) and terminator (Ttub) were constructed and utilized for biolistic transformation of H. pluvialis. Stable resistant colonies with introduced aadA genes were obtained after bombardments of either H. pluvialis NIES144 or SCCAP K0084 with the tub/aadA cassette, the efficiency of which could reach up to 3 × 10-5 per μg DNA through an established manipulation flow. Two key details, including the utilization of culture with motile flagellates dominant and controlled incubation of them on membrane filters during bombardments, were disclosed firstly. In obtained transformants, efficient integration and transcription of the foreign tub/aadA fragments could be identified through genome PCR examination and qPCR analysis, nonetheless with random style instead of homologous crossover in the H. pluvialis genome. The presented selection marker and optimized transforming procedures in this report would strengthen the platform for genetic manipulation and modification of H. pluvialis.

Abstract
Biotreatment is an effective way in remediation of chromium(VI) (Cr(VI)) contamination, but its mechanism and reaction sites are still not clear. Herein, Bacillus sp. M6 was used as a model bacterium in this study to investigate the removal mechanism of Cr(VI) in solution. The results showed that the removal of Cr(VI) was attributed to direct reduction by Bacillus sp. M6, and the reduction locations occurred both on the cell envelope and in the cytoplasm. Meanwhile, bioanalysis of Bacillus sp. M6 by SEM-EDS and TEM-EDS, indicated that Cr(III)-containing precipitates distributed both on the surface and in the cytoplasm of Bacillus sp. In addition, XPS analysis demonstrated that the chromium could be bound to cells by coordination with functional groups (C-based and O-based) on the bacterial surface. This work offers a new and deep insight into the mechanism of Cr(VI) reduction by Bacillus sp.
