Abstract
Due to the extensive oil extraction and transportation that occurs in oil-producing countries, many lands remain contaminated because of accidental leakages. Despite its low cost and environmentally safe nature, bioremediation technology is not always successful, mainly because of the soil toxicity to the degrading microbial populations and plants. Here we report a three-year microfield experiment on the influence of natural sorbents of mineral (zeolite, kaolinite, vermiculite, diatomite), organic (peat), carbonaceous (biochar) origin, and a mixed sorbent ACD (composed of granular activated carbon and diatomite) on the bioremediation of grey forest soil contaminated with weathered crude oil (40.1 g total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) kg-1). Optimal doses of the sorbents significantly accelerated bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soil through bioaugmentation followed by phytoremediation. The main reason for the influence of the sorbent amendments relied upon the creation of optimal conditions for the activation of hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria and plant growth due to the reduction of soil toxicity, as well as maintaining an optimal pH and water-air regime in the soil. That happened because of reducing the soil hydrophobicity, increasing porosity and water holding capacity. The content of the TPH in the best samples (2% biochar or ACD) reduced to their local permissible concentration accepted for remediated soils in the Russian Federation (≤5 g kg-1) after two warm seasons compared to that after three warm seasons in the other samples. Although some sorbents decelerated biodegradation of highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, including benzo(a)pyrene) in the soil, the overall risk from the residual contaminants present in the remediated soil and plants was minimized. The final total content of the main PAHs in the sorbent-amended soils did not exceed the maximal permissible levels that are accepted in most EU countries (1000-40,000 μg kg-1), and they did not accumulate in the aboveground phytomass of grasses in dangerous concentrations.

Abstract
In recent times, environmental pollution has been an alarming concern. This is increasing day-in-and-day-out, especially in the Asia-Pacific region due to the increasing population, urbanization, industrialization and inappropriate waste management measures. Pollution abatement is the need of the hour to sustain the biosphere in general and the human life in particular. A range of physical, chemical and biological strategies are commonly employed to remove pollutants from the contained water, soil and air. Physical, chemical or physicochemical remediation processes are commonly employed owing to their high efficiency, stability, recyclable property and low procurement cost as compared to metals, inorganic and organic materials. Materials of the later type include biocomposites, thin films, modified (bio)polymers, nanoparticles, nanofilters, sorbent like activated charcoal, and carbon nanotubes and nanosensors. Remediation mechanism largely follows sorption, degradation, oxidation, reduction, catalytic conversion, detection and microbial toxicity principles. This review details the mechanisms of action by these various remediating entities, their successful applications in pollution abatement, drawbacks and future prospects.HighlightsEnvironmental remediation using metals, inorganic and organic materials are discussed extensively.Major remediating approaches, viz., physical, physicochemical and chemical are elaborated citing latest references.The significance of biocomposites, biopolymers, polymers, thin films, nanoparticles, nanofilters, nanosensors and sorbents in remediation are highlighted.Pollutant removal from water, air and soil has been precisely discussed.A note on drawbacks, improvement and future prospects of remediating agents is presented.

Abstract
Phyto- and bioremediation are perspective methods for soil recultivation. In spite of resistance of plant-hyperaccumulators and degrading microorganisms to some contaminants, there are soil toxicity limits for their growth and activity. Therefore, simple and express methods are needed to estimate the soil phytotoxicity. This article is devoted to description of an express-phytotest evaluated by germination rate of white clover (Trifolium repens) (PhCG) for estimating phytotoxicity of contaminated soils. This phytotest was developed on the example of grey forest soil contaminated with diesel fuel or copper(II) and approbated during our long-year experiments on adsorptive bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soils. The sensitivity of the phytotest values PhCG to these contaminants is much higher compared to those phytotests evaluated by germination of larger seeds: cress (Lepidium sativum), and wheat (Triticum vulgare). A significant increase of PhCG in those soils by 10% was already recorded at 50-100 mg of available Cu2+ kg-1 and 1-5 g total petroleum hydrocarbons kg-1, depending on the hydrocarbon composition. The sensitivity of the standard phytotests evaluated by root length of wheat seedlings or by plant (T. vulgare or T. repens) biomass is higher than that of PhCG determination. However, bio- and phytoremediation are mostly applied for heavily contaminated soils. Therefore, use of the simple and cheap express phytotest for choosing optimal conditions of the soil remediation and following the process is quite justified. Besides, measuring an additional parameter-root length of the white clover seedlings may significantly increase the sensitivity of the express phytotest for lower contaminated soils.

The Effectiveness of Biostimulation, Bioaugmentation and Sorption-Biological Treatment of Soil Contaminated with Petroleum Products in the Russian Subarctic. Microorganisms 2021; 9:microorganisms9081722. [PMID: 34442801 PMCID: PMC8400976 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9081722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Revised: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The effectiveness of different bioremediation methods (biostimulation, bioaugmentation, the sorption-biological method) for the restoration of soil contaminated with petroleum products in the Russian Subarctic has been studied. The object of the study includes soil contaminated for 20 years with petroleum products. By laboratory experiment, we established five types of microfungi that most intensively decompose petroleum hydrocarbons: Penicillium canescens st. 1, Penicillium simplicissimum st. 1, Penicillum commune, Penicillium ochrochloron, and Penicillium restrictum. One day after the start of the experiment, 6 to 18% of the hydrocarbons decomposed: at 3 days, this was 16 to 49%; at 7 days, 40 to 73%; and at 10 days, 71 to 87%. Penicillium commune exhibited the greatest degrading activity throughout the experiment. For soils of light granulometric composition with a low content of organic matter, a more effective method of bioremediation is sorption-biological treatment using peat or granulated activated carbon: the content of hydrocarbons decreased by an average of 65%, which is 2.5 times more effective than without treatment. The sorbent not only binds hydrocarbons and their toxic metabolites but is also a carrier for hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms and prevents nutrient leaching from the soil. High efficiency was noted due to the biostimulation of the native hydrocarbon-oxidizing microfungi and bacteria by mineral fertilizers and liming. An increase in the number of microfungi, bacteria and dehydrogenase activity indicate the presence of a certain microbial potential of the soil and the ability of the hydrocarbons to produce biochemical oxidation. The use of the considered methods of bioremediation will improve the ecological state of the contaminated area and further the gradual restoration of biodiversity.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of consortium bioaugmentation (CB) and various biostimulation options on the remediation efficiency and bacterial diversity of diesel-contaminated aged soil. The bacterial consortium was prepared using strains D-46, D-99, D134-1, MSM-2-10-13, and Oil-4, isolated from oil-contaminated soil. The effects of CB and biostimulation were evaluated in various soil microcosms: CT (water), T1 (CB only), T2 (CB + NH4NO3 and KH2PO4, nutrients), T3 (CB + activated charcoal, AC), T4 (CB + nutrients + AC), T5 (AC + water), T6 (CB + nutrients + zero-valent iron nanoparticles, nZVI), T7 (CB + nutrients + AC + nZVI), T8 (CB + activated peroxidase, oxidant), T9 (AC + nZVI), and T10 (CB + nZVI + AC + oxidant). Preliminary evaluation of the bacterial consortium revealed 81.9% diesel degradation in liquid media. After 60 days of treatment, T6 demonstrated the highest total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) degradation (99.0%), followed by T1 (97.4%), T2 (97.9%), T4 (96.0%), T7 (96.0%), T8 (94.8%), T3 (93.6%), and T10 (86.2%). The lowest TPH degradation was found in T5 (24.2%), T9 (17.2%), and CT (11.7%). Application of CB and biostimulation to the soil microcosms decreased bacterial diversity, leading to selective enrichment of bacterial communities. T2, T6, and T10 contained Firmicutes (50.06%), Proteobacteria (64.69%), and Actinobacteria (54.36%) as the predominant phyla, respectively. The initial soil exhibited the lowest metabolic activity, which improved after treatment. The study results indicated that biostimulation alone is inadequate for remediation of contaminated soil that lacks indigenous oil degraders, suggesting the need for a holistic approach that includes both CB and biostimulation.

Abstract
Due to the extended oil extraction and transportation in Russia and other oil-producing countries, many lands remain contaminated because of accidental spills. This situation requires the cost-effective and efficient remediation of petroleum-contaminated soils. Bioremediation of soils contaminated with high concentrations of crude oil is usually hampered by high toxicity thresholds for microbial degraders. We have performed a two-year microfield experiment on the influence of a mixed adsorbent (ACD) composed of granular activated carbon and diatomite on bioremediation of a grey forest soil contaminated with crude oil at concentrations (5-15 % w/w) that would theoretically not result in a successful pollutant removal due to toxicity. Remediation of these soils was evaluated after treating with the ACD adsorbent (from 4 to 12% w/w) and a biopreparation (BP) containing hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, separately or in combination. Reduction of total petroleum hydrocarbons content was significantly greater in highly contaminated soils with the combined amendments than in the respective controls (through the activation of indigenous degrading microorganisms by fertilizing and mixing) by 9-10% and 5-8% at the end of the first and second years, respectively, depending on the contamination level. Significantly higher counts of petroleum-degrading microorganisms (as indigenous and introduced by the BP), as well as much less phytotoxicity was detected in the ACD-amended soils, as compared with the samples without adsorbent. In addition, the ACD mixture drastically reduced the wash-out of polar petroleum metabolites (evidently oxidized hydrocarbons) and the phytotoxicity of the lysimetric waters, especially in highly contaminated soils. The results indicate that the mixture of activated carbon and diatomite is a prospective adsorbent for the in situ bioremediation of soils highly contaminated with crude oil.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from petroleum and fossil fuels are one of the most dominant pollutants in the environment. Since aromatic fraction from petroleum diesel fuel is mainly composed of PAHs, it is important to discover new microorganisms that can biodegrade these compounds. This article describes the biodegradation of the aromatic fraction separated from petroleum diesel fuel using the strain Oerskovia sp. CHP-ZH25 isolated from petroleum oil-contaminated soil. The biodegradation was monitored by gravimetry and GC × GC-TOF MS. An innovative method was applied to visualize degraded compounds in the data provided by a GC × GC-TOF MS. It was shown that Oerskovia sp. CHP-ZH25 degraded 77.4% based on gravimetric analysis within 30 days. Average rate of degradation was 14.4 mg/L/day, 10.5 mg/l/day and 4.0 mg/l/day from 0 to 10 day, 10-20 and 20-30 day, respectively. The order of PAH degradation based on decrease in peak volume after 30 days of incubation was as follows: dibenzothiophene derivatives > benzo[b]thiophene derivatives > naphthalene derivatives > acenaphthene derivatives > acenaphthylene/biphenyl derivatives > fluorene derivatives > phenanthrene/anthracene derivatives. Here we demonstrated that Oerskovia sp. CHP-ZH25 could potentially be a suitable candidate for use in bioremediation of environments polluted with different PAHs.
