[PMID: 38840895 PMCID: PMC11151392 DOI: 10.1515/biol-2022-0870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
The microbiome is the synchronised congregation of millions of microbial cells in a particular ecosystem. The rhizospheric, phyllospheric, and endospheric microbial diversity of lower groups of plants like pteridophytes, which includes the Ferns and Fern Allies, have also given numerous alternative opportunities to achieve greener and sustainable agriculture. The broad-spectrum bioactivities of these microorganisms, including bioremediation of heavy metals (HMs) in contaminated soil, have been drawing the attention of agricultural researchers for the preparation of bioformulations for applications in climate-resilient and versatile agricultural production systems. Pteridophytes have an enormous capacity to absorb HMs from the soil. However, their direct application in the agricultural field for HM absorption seems infeasible. At the same time, utilisation of Pteridophyte-associated microbes having the capacity for bioremediation have been evaluated and can revolutionise agriculture in mining and mineral-rich areas. In spite of the great potential, this group of microbiomes has been less studied. Under these facts, this prospective review was carried out to summarise the basic and applied research on the potential of Pteridophyte microbiomes for soil bioremediation and other agricultural applications globally. Gaps have also been indicated to present scopes for future research programmes.

Wang H, Du X, Zhang Z, Feng F, Zhang J. Rhizosphere interface microbiome reassembly by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi weakens cadmium migration dynamics. IMETA 2023; 2:e133. [PMID: 38868220 PMCID: PMC10989832 DOI: 10.1002/imt2.133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
The prevalence of cadmium (Cd)-polluted agricultural soils is increasing globally, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can reduce the absorption of heavy metals by plants and improve mineral nutrition. However, the immobilization of the rhizosphere on cadmium is often overlooked. In this study, Glomus mosseae and Medicago sativa were established as symbiotes, and Cd migration and environmental properties in the rhizosphere were analyzed. AMF reduced Cd migration, and Cd2+ changed to an organic-bound state. AMF symbiosis treatment and Cd exposure resulted in microbial community variation, exhibiting a distinct deterministic process (|βNTI| > 2), which ultimately resulted in a core microbiome function of heavy metal resistance and nutrient cycling. AMF increased available N and P, extracellular enzyme activity (LaC, LiP, and CAT), organic matter content (TOC, EOC, and GRSP), and Eh of the rhizosphere soil, significantly correlating with decreased Cd migration (p < 0.05). Furthermore, AMF significantly affected root metabolism by upregulating 739 metabolites, with flavonoids being the main factor causing microbiome variation. The structural equation model and variance partial analysis revealed that the superposition of the root metabolites, microbial, and soil exhibited the maximum explanation rate for Cd migration reduction (42.4%), and the microbial model had the highest single explanation rate (15.5%). Thus, the AMF in the rhizosphere microenvironment can regulate metabolite-soil-microbial interactions, reducing Cd migration. In summary, the study provides a new scientific explanation for how AMF improves plant Cd tolerance and offers a sustainable solution that could benefit both the environment and human health.

Abstract
Lead is highly persistent and toxic in soil, hindering plant growth. Microspheres are a novel, functional, and slow-release preparation commonly used for controlled release of agricultural chemicals. However, their application in the remediation of Pb-contaminated soil has not been studied; furthermore, the remediation mechanism involved has not been systematically assessed. Herein, we evaluated the Pb stress mitigation ability of sodium alginate-gelatin-polyvinyl pyrrolidone composite microspheres. Microspheres effectively attenuated the Pb toxic effect on cucumber seedlings. Furthermore, they boosted cucumber growth, increased peroxidase activity, and chlorophyll content, while reducing malondialdehyde content in leaves. Microspheres promoted Pb enrichment in cucumber, especially in roots (about 4.5 times). They also improved soil physicochemical properties, promoted enzyme activity, and increased soil available Pb concentration in the short term. In addition, microspheres selectively enriched functional (heavy metal-tolerating and plant growth promoting) bacteria to adapt to and resist Pb stress by improving soil properties and nutrients. These results indicated that even a small amount (0.025-0.3 %) of microspheres can significantly reduce the adverse effects of Pb on plants, soil, and bacterial communities. Composite microspheres have shown great value in Pb remediation, and their application potential in phytoremediation is also worth evaluating to expand the application.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:37929-37945. [PMID: 36576625 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-24872-y] [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: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Constructed wetland-microbial fuel cells are used to treat heavy metal and/or refractory organic wastewater. However, the electron transport mechanism of downflow Leersia hexandra constructed wetland-microbial fuel cells (DLCW-MFCs) is poorly understood when used to treat composite-polluted wastewater containing Cr(VI) and p-chlorophenol (4-CP) (C&P). In this study, metagenomics and in situ electrochemical techniques were used to investigate the electrochemical properties and the electricigens and their dominant gene functions. The DLCW-MFC was used to treat C&P and single-pollutant wastewater containing Cr(VI) (SC) and 4-CP (SP). The results showed that C&P had a higher current response and charge transfer capability and lower solution resistance plus charge transfer resistance. The anode bacteria solution of C&P contained more electron carriers (RF, FMN, FAD, CoQ10, and Cyt c). Metagenomic sequencing indicated that the total relative abundance of the microorganisms associated with electricity production (Desulfovibrio, Pseudomonas, Azospirillum, Nocardia, Microbacterium, Delftia, Geobacter, Acinetobacter, Bacillus, and Clostridium) was the highest in C&P (4.24%). However, Microbacterium was abundant in SP (0.12%), which exerted antagonistic effects on other electricigens. Among the 10 electricigens based on gene annotation, C&P had a higher overall relative abundance of the Unigene gene annotated to the KO pathway and CAZy level B compared with SC and SP, which were 1.31% and 0.582% respectively. Unigene153954 (ccmC), Unigene357497 (coxB), and Unigene1033667 (ubiG) were related to the electron carrier Cyt c, electron transfer, and CoQ biosynthesis, respectively. These were annotated to Desulfovibrio, Delftia, and Pseudomonas, respectively. Unigene161312 (AA1) used phenols and other substrates as electron donors and was annotated to Pseudomonas. Other functional carbohydrate enzyme genes (e.g., GT2, GT4, and GH31) used carbohydrates as donors and were annotated to other electricigens. This study provides a theoretical basis for electron transfer to promote the development of CW-MFCs.

Abstract
Biocathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs) show promise for Cr(vi)-contaminated wastewater treatment. However, biocathode deactivation and passivation caused by highly toxic Cr(vi) and nonconductive Cr(iii) deposition limit the development of this technology. A nano-FeS hybridized electrode biofilm was fabricated by simultaneously feeding Fe and S sources into the MFC anode. This bioanode was then reversed as the biocathode to treat Cr(vi)-containing wastewater in a MFC. The MFC obtained the highest power density (40.75 ± 0.73 mW m-2) and Cr(vi) removal rate (3.99 ± 0.08 mg L-1 h-1), which were 1.31 and 2.00 times those of the control, respectively. The MFC also maintained high stability for Cr(vi) removal in three consecutive cycles. These improvements were due to synergistic effects of nano-FeS with excellent properties and microorganisms in the biocathode. The mechanisms were: (1) the accelerated electron transfer mediated by nano-FeS 'electron bridges' strengthened bioelectrochemical reactions, firstly realizing deep reduction of Cr(vi) to Cr(0) and thus effectively alleviating cathode passivation; (2) nano-FeS as 'armor' layers improved cellular viability and extracellular polymeric substance secretion; (3) the biofilm selectively enriched a diversity of bifunctional bacteria for electrochemical activity and Cr(vi) removal. This study provides a new strategy to obtain electrode biofilms for sustainable treatment of heavy metal wastewater.

Abstract
The purification and water resource circulation utilization of cadmium-containing leachate is a key link in the field application of microbial remediation in Cd-polluted soil. In this study, through a simulation experiment of microbial remediation of Cd-polluted paddy soil, the feasibility of the purification and recycling process of wastewater derived from microbial remediation of Cd-polluted soil was explored. The results of the microbial mobilization and removal experiment showed that the concentrations of Cd, N, P, and K in the leachate were 88.51 μg/L, 38.06, 0.53, and 98.87 mg/L, respectively. The leachate also contained a large number of microbial resources, indicating that it had high recovery values. To recycle this wastewater, activated carbon (C), humic acid (H), and self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports (SAMMS; S) were used as adsorbents. The results showed that the co-existing cations in the leachate had a major influence on the adsorption of Cd. In the ternary system of Fe, Al, and Cd, the removal efficiency of Cd increased to 91.2% when the S dosage was increased to 5‰, and the sorption of Cd occurred after Fe and Al. However, C and H exhibited poor adsorption performances. The isotherm models further showed that the maximum adsorption capacities of S, H, and C were 13.96, 6.41 and 2.94 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption kinetics of S showed that adsorption was a rapid process, and the C-H and O-Si-O of S were the key functional groups. The pH of the leachate significantly affected the adsorption efficiency of Cd. Finally, the purified leachate was successfully applied to microbial cultivation and soil remediation. Overall, the reclamation of Cd-containing wastewater can not only dampen the impacts of water shortages, but also achieve the purposes of Cd removal and resource recovery to lower costs by approximately 1166-3499 yuan per mu.

The remediation of uranium-contaminated groundwater via bioreduction coupled to biomineralization with different pH and electron donors.

Abstract
Stimulating indigenous microbes to reduce aqueous U(VI) to insoluble U(IV) by adding an electron donor has been applied as an applicable strategy to remediate uranium-contaminated groundwater in situ. However, biogenic U(IV) minerals are susceptible to oxidative remobilization after exposure to oxygen. To enhance the stability of the end product, glycerol phosphate (GP) was selected to treat artificial uranium-containing groundwater at different pH values (i.e., 7.0 and 5.0) with glycerol (GY) as the control group. The results revealed that removal ratios of uranium with GP were all higher than those with GY, and reduced crystalline U(IV)-phosphate and U(VI)-phosphate minerals (recalcitrant to oxidative remobilization) were generated in the GP groups. Although bioreduction efficiency was influenced at pH 5.0, the stability of the end product with GP was elevated significantly compared with that with GY. Mechanism analysis demonstrated that GP could activate bioreduction and biomineralization of the microbial community, and two stages were included in the GP groups. In the early stage, bioreduction and biomineralization were both involved in the immobilization process. Subsequently, part of the U(VI) precipitate was gradually reduced to U(IV) precipitate by microorganisms. This work implied that the formation of U-phosphate minerals via bioreduction coupled with biomineralization potentially offers a more effective strategy for remediating uranium-contaminated groundwater with long-term stability.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 216:114451. [PMID: 36183789 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114451] [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: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The composite pollution by Cr(VI) and p-chlorophenol (4-CP) has high toxicity and harms water safety. However, research on the effective removal of Cr(VI) and 4-CP composite-polluted wastewater (C&P) and efficient synchronous electricity generation with reclaimed resources is limited. In this study, a downflow Leersia hexandra constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (DLCW-MFC) was builded to treat C&P, as well as wastewater singularly polluted by Cr(VI) (SC) and 4-CP (SP), respectively, to reveal the mechanism by which DLCW-MFC treats C&P and synchronously generates electricity. The results demonstrate that the cathode layer had a stronger removal effect on pollutants than the middle layer and anode zone layer. Moreover, SC and SP had stronger pollutant removal effects than C&P. Cr(VI) had more competitive with electrons than 4-CP, and they had a synergistic effect on efficient electricity generation. The L.hexandra in SC and SP had a better growth state and lower Cr enrichment concentration than that in C&P. Cr existed in the DLCW-MFC mainly in the form of Cr(III). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to investigate the degradation pathway of 4-CP in C&P, and indicated that Phenol, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)- and benzoic acid compounds were the main intermediates formed at the cathode, and further mineralized to form medium-long-chain organic compounds to form CO2. The microbial community distribution results revealed that Simplicispira, Cloacibacterium, and Rhizobium are associated with Cr(VI) removal and 4-CP degradation, and were found to be rich in the cathode of C&P. The anode of C&P was found to have more Acinetobacter (1.34%) and Spirochaeta (4.83%) than SC and SP, and the total relative abundance of electricigens at the anode of C&P (7.46%) was higher than that at the anodes of SC and SP. This study can provide a theoretical foundation for the DLCW-MFC to treat heavy metal and chlorophenol composite-polluted wastewater and synchronously generate electricity.

Abstract
Biochar, derived from the pyrolysis of plant materials has the potential to enhance plant growth in soilless media. Howevetar, little is known about the impact of biochar amendments to soilless growth media, microbial community composition, and fate of chemical constituents in the media. In this study, different concentrations of biochar were added to soilless media and microbial composition, and chemical constituents were analyzed using metagenomics and gamma spectroscopy techniques, respectively. Across treatments, carboxyl-C, phenolic-C, and aromatic-C were the main carbon sources that influenced microbial community composition. Flavobacterium (39.7%), was the predominantly bacteria genus, followed by Acidibacter (12.2%), Terrimonas (10.1%), Cytophaga (7.5%), Ferruginibacter (6.0%), Lacunisphaera (5.9%), Cellvibrio (5.8%), Opitutus (4.8%), Mucilaginibacter (4.0%) and Bryobacter (4.0%). Negative relationships were found between Cytophaga and 226Ra (r = −0.84, p = 0.0047), 40K (r = −0.82, p = 0.0069) and 137Cs (r = −0.93, p = 0.0002). Similarly, Mucilaginibacter was negatively correlated with 226Ra (r = −0.83, p = 0.0054) and 137Cs (r = −0.87, p = 0.0021). Overall, the data suggest that high % biochar amended samples have high radioactivity concentration levels. Some microorganisms have less presence in high radioactivity concentration levels.

Abstract
Bacteria communities associated with plants have been given increasing consideration because they are arguably beneficial to their host plants. To understand the ecological and evolutionary impact of these mutualistic associations, it is important to explore the vast unknown territory of bacterial genomic diversity and their functional contributions associated with the major branches of the tree-of-life. Arguably, this aim can be achieved by profiling bacterial communities by applying high throughput sequencing approaches, besides establishing model plant organisms to test key predictions. This study utilized the Illumina Miseq reads of bacterial 16S rRNA sequences to determine the bacterial diversity associated with the endosphere of the leaves of the highly specialized rock spleenwort Asplenium delavayi (Aspleniaceae). By documenting the bacterial communities associated with ferns collected in natural occurrence and cultivation, this study discovered the most species-rich bacterial communities associated with terrestrial ferns reported until now. Despite the substantial variations of species diversity and composition among accessions, a set of 28 bacterial OTUs was found to be shared among all accessions. Functional analyses recovered evidence to support the predictions that changes in bacterial community compositions correspond to functional differentiation. Given the ease of cultivating this species, Asplenium delavayi is introduced here as a model organism to explore the ecological and evolutionary benefits created by mutualistic associations between bacteria and ferns.

Isolation and Genome Analysis of an Amoeba-Associated Bacterium Dyella terrae Strain Ely Copper Mine From Acid Rock Drainage in Vermont, United States. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:856908. [PMID: 35677904 PMCID: PMC9169046 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.856908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Protozoa play important roles in microbial communities, regulating populations via predation and contributing to nutrient cycling. While amoebae have been identified in acid rock drainage (ARD) systems, our understanding of their symbioses in these extreme environments is limited. Here, we report the first isolation of the amoeba Stemonitis from an ARD environment as well as the genome sequence and annotation of an associated bacterium, Dyella terrae strain Ely Copper Mine, from Ely Brook at the Ely Copper Mine Superfund site in Vershire, Vermont, United States. Fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis showed this bacterium colonizing cells of Stemonitis sp. in addition to being outside of amoebal cells. This amoeba-resistant bacterium is Gram-negative with a genome size of 5.36 Mbp and GC content of 62.5%. The genome of the D. terrae strain Ely Copper Mine encodes de novo biosynthetic pathways for amino acids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids. Genes involved in nitrate (1) and sulfate (7) reduction, metal (229) and antibiotic resistance (37), and secondary metabolite production (6) were identified. Notably, 26 hydrolases were identified by RAST as well as other biomass degradation genes, suggesting roles in carbon and energy cycling within the microbial community. The genome also contains type IV secretion system genes involved in amoebae resistance, revealing how this bacterium likely survives predation from Stemonitis sp. This genome analysis and the association of D. terrae strain Ely Copper Mine with Stemonitis sp. provide insight into the functional roles of amoebae and bacteria within ARD environments.

Abstract
Plants growing in metal polluted sites can be a source of microorganisms suitable for bio-assisted phytoremediation strategies. In this work, three endophytic fungi from the roots of Poa stuckertii and Poa pratensis, two grasses that naturally colonize a Lead-Zinc tailing storage facility in Southern Chile, were isolated and identified. The leachate of the tailing sands showed a Pb content of 1.36 ± 0.71 ppm, and a pH of 7.3. By amplifying the ITS1/ITS4 region of fungal ribosomal DNA, the isolates were identified as Bjerkandera sp., Microdochium sp. and Sarocladium sp. When the growth media was supplemented with 50 ppm of Pb at pH 4.5, Microdochium sp. showed an 80% decrease in the biomass, but the biomass production of Bjerkandera sp. and Sarocladium sp. was not affected by the same treatment. The accumulation of Pb in Microdochium sp. increased as a function of the concentration of the metal in the growth media, between 48.3 μM and 241.3 μM. We showed that two Poaceae plants growing on a Lead-Zinc tailing storage facility are a source of endophyte fungi, and that Pb had a differential effect on the growth of the isolated fungi independent of the plant of origin.

Abstract
Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil and water resources is a global concern, which not only limits crop yield and quality, but also has serious environmental effects. Due to the non-biodegradable nature and toxicity, high concentration of HMs in food and environment is a serious threat to the entire ecosystem. Moreover, the target of supplying safe and quality food to the rising human population (expected to reach ~9–10 bn by the year 2050), necessitates effective treatment of the HM-contaminated soil. Various microbe-mediated bioremediation strategies such as biosorption, bioprecipiation, biostimulation, etc., have been found to be effective in uptake and conversion of HMs to less toxic forms. Further, in the past few years, the use of soil and plant-associated microbiome for HM stress alleviation is gaining attention among the scientific community. In general, microbes are spectacular in being dynamic and more responsive to environmental conditions in comparison to their host plants. Moreover, with the advancements in high throughput sequencing technologies, the focus is eventually shifting from just structural characterization to functional insights into the microbiome. The microbes inhabiting the HM-contaminated environments or associated with HM-tolerant plants are a source for exploring HM-tolerant microbial communities, which could be used for enhancing bioremediation efficiency and conferring HM tolerance in plants. This review discusses the application of omics techniques including metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics, and metabolomics, for rapid and robust identification of HM-tolerant microbial communities, mining novel HM resistance genes, and fabricating the HM resistome.

A field study reveals links between hyperaccumulating Sedum plants-associated bacterial communities and Cd/Zn uptake and translocation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 805:150400. [PMID: 34818769 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 09/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Hyperaccumulating ecotypes of Sedum plants are promising Cd/Zn phytoextractors, with potential for leveraging its rhizospheric or endophytic microbiomes to improve phytoremediation efficiency. However, research of bacteria associated with Sedum at field scale is still lacking. Here, we presented a detailed investigation of the bacterial microbiome of hyperaccumulating Sedum ecotypes (S. alfredii and S. plumbizincicola) and a non-hyperaccumulating S. alfredii ecotype, which grow at different soil environments. Moreover, we evaluated the heavy metal uptake and translocation potential of Sedum plants at different locations. The results showed that both HE ecotypes, contrary to the NHE, were efficient for phytoremediation in mine areas and farmlands. For NHE plants, rhizosphere co-occurrence networks were more complex than the networks of other compartments, while networks of HE plants were more complex in bulk soil and roots. The proportion of positive correlations within co-occurrence networks was higher for the HE plants, suggesting a greater potential for mutualistic interactions. Plant compartment and location predominantly shaped the microbiome assembly, and Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria dominated the bacterial communities of Sedum plants. Keystone taxa related to Zn hyperaccumulation are similar to those related to Cd hyperaccumulation, and nine bacterial genera had significantly positive correlation with Cd/Zn hyperaccumulation. Taxa, linked to phytoremediation in both mine and farmland (i.e. Actinospica and Streptomyces from Actinobacteria), could be targets for further investigation of their ability to promote metal phytoremediation of Sedum species.

Abstract
In 2015 a mine dam with Mn-Fe-rich tailings collapsed releasing million tons of sediments over an estuary, in the Southwest of Brazil. The tailings have a high concentration of metals that contaminated soil until the present day. The high contaminant concentrations possibly caused a selection for microorganisms able to strive in such harsh conditions. Here, we isolated metal(loid) and anti-biotic resistance bacteria from the contaminated estuarine soil. After 16S rDNA sequencing to identify the strains, we selected the Mucilaginibacter sp. strain for a whole-genome sequence due to the bioprospective potential of the genus and the high resistance profile. We obtained a complete genome and a genome-guided characterization. Our finding suggests that the 21p strain is possibly a new species of the genus. The species presented genes for resistance for metals (i.e., As, Zn, Co, Cd, and Mn) beyond resistance and cross-resistance for antibiotics (i.e., quinolone, aminoglycoside, β-lactamase, sulphonamide, tetracycline). The Mucilaginibacter sp. 21p description as new species should be further explored, as their extracellular polymeric substances and the potential of this strain as bioremediation and as a growth promoter in high met-al(loid) contaminated soil.

Abstract
Soil metal contamination associated with productive activities is a global issue. Metals are not biodegradable and tend to accumulate in soils, posing potential risks to surrounding ecosystems and human health. Plant-based techniques (phytotechnologies) for the in situ remediation of metal-polluted soils have been developed, but these have some limitations. Phytotechnologies are a group of technologies that take advantage of the ability of certain plants to remediate soil, water, and air resources to rehabilitate ecosystem services in managed landscapes. Regarding soil metal pollution, the main objectives are in situ stabilization (phytostabilization) and the removal of contaminants (phytoextraction). Genetic engineering strategies such as gene editing, stacking genes, and transformation, among others, may improve the phytoextraction potential of plants by enhancing their ability to accumulate and tolerate metals and metalloids. This review discusses proven strategies to enhance phytoextraction efficiency and future perspectives on phytotechnologies.

Abstract
Freshwater ecosystems are affected by anthropogenic alterations. Different studies have extensively studied the concentrations of metals, nutrients, and water quality as measurements of pollution in freshwater ecosystems. However, few studies have been able to link these pollutants to bioindicators as a risk assessment tool. This study aimed to examine the potential of two bioindicators, plant ecotoxicological assays and sediment bacterial taxonomic diversity, in ecological risk assessment for six freshwater constructed wetlands in a rapidly urbanizing watershed with diverse land uses. Sediment samples were collected summer, 2015 and 2017, and late summer and early fall in 2016 to conduct plant ecotoxicological assays based on plant (Lepidium, Sinapis and Sorghum) growth inhibition and identify bacterial taxonomical diversity by the 16S rRNA gene sequences. Concentrations of metals such as lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) (using XRF), and nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate (using HACH DR 2800TM spectrophotometer) were measured in sediment and water samples respectively. Analyses of response patterns revealed that plant and bacterial bioindicators were highly responsive to variation in the concentrations of these pollutants. Hence, this opens up the scope of using these bioindicators for ecological risk assessment in constructed freshwater wetland ecosystems within urbanizing watersheds.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS), colorimetry, and bioassays were employed for the evaluation of the ability of endophytic bacterial strains to synthesize indole-related compounds (IRCs) and in particular indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). A total of 54 endophytic strains belonging to seven bacterial genera isolated from tissues of common and spelt wheat cultivars were studied. The endophytic bacteria isolated from different tissues of the tested wheat types were capable of IRCs production, including IAA, which constituted from 1.75% to 52.68% of all IRCs, in in vitro conditions via the tryptophan dependent pathway. The selected post-culture medium was also examined using a plant bioassay. Substantial growth of wheat coleoptile segments treated with the bacterial post-culture medium was observed in several cases. Our data suggest that the studied endophytic bacteria produce auxin-type compounds to support plant development. Summarizing, our approach to use three complementary methods for estimation of IRCs in different endophytic strains provides a comprehensive picture of their effect on wheat growth.
