Abstract
Bioaugmentation helps to obtain a microbiome capable of remediating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In this study, acclimation of microorganisms to soil supplemented with phenanthrene (PHE) led to enrichment with PAH-degraders, including those in Actinobacteriota and in the genera Streptomyces, Rhodococcus, Nocardioides, Sphingomonas, and Mycobacterium. Aqueous (28 °C, pH 6.5) and soil cultures inoculated with PHE-acclimated soil showed a high PHE (ca. 50 mg L-1) degradation efficiency. The PHE degradation kinetics in aqueous and soil incubations fitted to the Gompertz equation and the first-order kinetic equation, respectively. Indigenous microorganisms adapted to PHE in their environment, and this increased their capacity to degrade PHE. The effect of co-contaminants and pathway intermediates on PHE degradation showed that the degradation of PHE improved in the presence of diesel while being hindered by lubricant oil, catechol, salicylic and phthalic acid. Our findings provide theoretical and practical support for bioremediationof PAHs in the environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:28247-28258.

Abstract
The effect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) on the phytoremediation efficiency of ryegrass on soil contaminated with nonylphenol (NP) and cadmium (Cd) was investigated by pot experiments. Pseudomonas aeruginosa application stimulated the adsorption of Cd by ryegrass and facilitated the biodegradation of NP in the soil. Exogenous P. aeruginosa inoculation increased the activities of urease, dehydrogenase, and polyphenol oxidase in the soil of the T4 treatment by 38.5%, 50.0%, and 56.5% compared to that of the T2 treatment, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between the activities of dehydrogenase and polyphenol oxidase and the NP removal rate (P < 0.001). The relative abundances of beneficial microorganisms (such as Sphingomonas, Lysobacter, Streptomyces, Chloroflexia, Deltaproteobacteria, and Alphaproteobacteria) were increased as a result of P. aeruginosa inoculation. These microorganisms play important roles in nutrient cycling, Cd adsorption, and NP degradation. Additionally, P. aeruginosa was not the dominate bacterial species at the end of the experiment. According to this study, P. aeruginosa application improved the phytoremediation efficiency of ryegrass on soil contaminated with NP and Cd, with a minimal risk of alien microbial invasion.

Abstract
The contamination of soils with petroleum and its derivatives is a longstanding, widespread, and worsening environmental issue. However, efforts to remediate petroleum hydrocarbon-polluted soils often neglect or overlook the interference of heavy metals that often co-contaminate these soils and occur in petroleum itself. Here, we identified Acinetobacter baumannii strain JYZ-03 according to its Gram staining, oxidase reaction, biochemical tests, and FAME and 16S rDNA gene sequence analyses and determined that it has the ability to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons. It was isolated from soil contaminated by both heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons. Strain JYZ-03 utilized diesel oil, long-chain n-alkanes, branched alkanes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as its sole carbon sources. It degraded 93.29% of the diesel oil burden in 7 days. It also had a high tolerance to heavy metal stress caused by arsenic (As). Its petroleum hydrocarbon degradation efficiency remained constant over the 0-300 mg/L As(V) range. Its optimal growth conditions were pH 7.0 and 25-30 °C, respectively, and its growth was not inhibited even by 3.0% (w/v) NaCl. Strain JYZ-03 effectively bioremediates petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil in the presence of As stress. Therefore, strain JYZ-03 may be of high value in petroleum- and heavy-metal-contaminated site bioremediation.

Abstract
Plant health is closely related to the soil, where microorganisms play a critical and unique role. For instance, Paeonia suffruticosa is an emerging woody oil crop in China with attractive development and utilization prospects. However, black root rot causes wilting of the aboveground plant parts, which significantly affected its seed yield and quality. Studies found that soil microorganisms are critical in maintaining plant health, but how changes in the soil microbial communities affect the healthy and diseased oil peony is unclear. Therefore, our present study used high throughput sequencing and BIOLOG to analyze the rhizosphere soil microbial communities of healthy and diseased oil peonies. Our results revealed that the physical and chemical properties of the soil of the diseased plants had changed, with the ability to metabolize the carbon source being enhanced. Moreover, our research highlighted that the oil peony-infecting fungal pathogenic genus (Fusarium, Cylindrocarpon, and Neocosmospora) was closely associated with oil peony yield reduction and disease aggravation. Further network analysis demonstrated that the bacterial and fungal networks of the diseased plants were more complex than those of the healthy plants. Finally, the inter-kingdom network among the diseased plants further indicated that the lesions destroyed the network and increased the intraspecific correlation between the fungal groups.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 426:128126.

Abstract
The use of plastic film mulch threatens the sustainability of the terrestrial environment because of the persistence of plastic residue. Identification of the potential long-term impacts of polyethylene (PE) residue on the soil microbiome has been overlooked in most studies. A long-term field experiment was conducted to expand this understanding by performing a co-occurrence network analysis of bacterial communities among different compartment niches (i.e. plastisphere, rhizosphere, and bulk soil) and three PE residue concentrations to determine the differential operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and keystone taxa. The specific set of bacterial microbes in the plastisphere was different from that of bulk soil and rhizosphere (R2 = 0.372, P < 0.001, PERMANOVA). Totally, 215 and 257 differential OTUs were identified in response to the different compartment niches and PE residue concentrations, respectively. Among these, several hubs or keystone taxa responsible for the exposure to PE residues were further identified, most of which have potential biodegradation functions. Exposure to PE residues led to a reduced network complexity and microbiome stability in the soil ecosystem. This study provides a comprehensive evidence on the alteration of bacterial communities and co-occurrence networks in the terrestrial environment as a legacy effect when exposed to PE residues, and has potential implications for predicting the ecological functions of the soil ecosystem.
