BMC Vet Res 2024; 20:212. [PMID: 38764041 PMCID: PMC11103975 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-024-04015-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acinetobacter lwoffii (A.lwoffii) is a serious zoonotic pathogen that has been identified as a cause of infections such as meningitis, bacteremia and pneumonia. In recent years, the infection rate and detection rate of A.lwoffii is increasing, especially in the breeding industry. Due to the presence of biofilms, it is difficult to eradicate and has become a potential super drug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, eradication of preformed biofilm is an alternative therapeutic action to control A.lwoffii infection. The present study aimed to clarify that baicalin could eradicate A.lwoffii biofilm in dairy cows, and to explore the mechanism of baicalin eradicating A.lwoffii. RESULTS The results showed that compared to the control group, the 4 MIC of baicalin significantly eradicated the preformed biofilm, and the effect was stable at this concentration, the number of viable bacteria in the biofilm was decreased by 0.67 Log10CFU/mL. The total fluorescence intensity of biofilm bacteria decreased significantly, with a reduction rate of 67.0%. There were 833 differentially expressed genes (367 up-regulated and 466 down-regulated), whose functions mainly focused on oxidative phosphorylation, biofilm regulation system and trehalose synthesis. Molecular docking analysis predicted 11 groups of target proteins that were well combined with baicalin, and the content of trehalose decreased significantly after the biofilm of A.lwoffii was treated with baicalin. CONCLUSIONS The present study evaluated the antibiofilm potential of baicalin against A.lwoffii. Baicalin revealed strong antibiofilm potential against A.lwoffii. Baicalin induced biofilm eradication may be related to oxidative phosphorylation and TCSs. Moreover, the decrease of trehalose content may be related to biofilm eradication.

[PMID: 38337332 DOI: 10.3390/polym16030443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Huge amounts of noxious chemicals from coal and petrochemical refineries and pharmaceutical industries are released into water bodies. These chemicals are highly toxic and cause adverse effects on both aquatic and terrestrial life. The removal of hazardous contaminants from industrial effluents is expensive and environmentally driven. The majority of the technologies applied nowadays for the removal of phenols and other contaminants are based on physio-chemical processes such as solvent extraction, chemical precipitation, and adsorption. The removal efficiency of toxic chemicals, especially phenols, is low with these technologies when the concentrations are very low. Furthermore, the major drawbacks of these technologies are the high operation costs and inadequate selectivity. To overcome these limitations, researchers are applying biological and membrane technologies together, which are gaining more attention because of their ease of use, high selectivity, and effectiveness. In the present review, the microbial degradation of phenolics in combination with intensified membrane bioreactors (MBRs) has been discussed. Important factors, including the origin and mode of phenols' biodegradation as well as the characteristics of the membrane bioreactors for the optimal removal of phenolic contaminants from industrial effluents are considered. The modifications of MBRs for the removal of phenols from various wastewater sources have also been addressed in this review article. The economic analysis on the cost and benefits of MBR technology compared with conventional wastewater treatments is discussed extensively.

Revealing the degradation mechanisms of the hyper-tolerant bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa STV1713 under high phenol and 2,4-DCP-induced stress conditions through RNA-seq analysis. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:5625-5640.

Abstract
The ability of bacteria to efficiently remove phenolic pollutants depends on their genetic makeup and environmental conditions. This study examined a novel strain, Pseudomonas aeruginosa STV1713, for degrading higher concentrations of phenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol. After optimization, a combination of degradation parameters, such as pH (7.0), temperature (32.5 °C), and ammonium nitrate concentration (0.7 g/L), was found to reduce degradation time while promoting cell growth. Under these optimal conditions, the bacterium effectively degraded up to 2000 mg/L of phenol and 1400 mg/L of 2,4-dichlorophenol, while maximum tolerance was observed till 2100 mg/L and 1500 mg/L, respectively. Metabolic profiling identified crucial metabolites in the ortho-degradation pathway during pollutant removal. Additionally, transcriptome analysis revealed that P. aeruginosa STV1713 utilizes different branches of the beta ketoadipate pathway for phenol and 2,4-DCP removal. Moreover, under high pollutant stress, the bacterium survived through differential gene expression in ribosome biogenesis, chemotaxis, membrane transport, and other pathways.

Abstract
Environmental pollution is a global phenomenon and troublesome fact that poses a grave risk to all living entities. Via coupling carbonaceous feedstocks with outstanding microbial activity, kinetic experiments were established using the consortium of Proteus mirabilis and Raoultella planticola, biochar-derived sunflower seed husk (SHB) and rice straw (RSB), and their composites, which investigated at 30 °C (150 rpm) to eliminate 700 mg L-1 lead (120 h) and phenol (168 h) from synthetic wastewater. The derived biochars physicochemical properties of were studied. According to adsorption capacity (qe), consortium-SHB composites and consortium-RSB composites removed lead completely (70 mg g-1) within 48 h and 66 h, respectively. Besides, phenol was remediated entirely after 42 h and 48 h by both composite systems (69.90 mg g-1), respectively, comparing with bacterial consortium only or parent SHB and RSB. Moreover, four kinetic models were studied to describe the bioremediation process. Fractional power and Elovich models could be recommended for describing the adsorption kinetics for lead and phenol removal by the studied biomaterials with high correlation coefficient (R2 ≥ 0.91 for Pb2+ and ≥ 0.93 for phenol) and lower residual root mean square error (RMSE) and chi-square (X2). Overall, bacterial consortium-biochar composites exhibited greater remediation of lead and phenol than the sum of each single bacterial consortium and biochar systems; reflecting synergistic interaction of adsorptive capability of biochar and metabolic performance of bacterial consortium, as denoted by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The current study addressed the successful design of employing functional remediating consortium immobilized on waste biomass-derived biochar as a conducive alternative eco-sorbent and economic platform to detoxify organic and inorganic pollutants.

Abstract
Mixed culture of microorganisms is an effective method to remove high concentration of phenol from wastewater. Currently, the mechanism of how microorganisms collaborate to enhance the biodegradation of phenol is still a challenge. In this study, the isolated Bacillus subtilis ZWB1 and Bacillus velezensis ZWB2 were co-cultured to enhance phenol biodegradation, and the mechanism of microbial collaboration was further explored. The co-culture of strains could significantly increase the rate (16.7 mg/L·h, 1000 mg/L) and concentration of phenol degradation (1500 mg/L), comparing with mono-culture of ZWB1 (4.2 mg/L·h, 150 mg/L) and ZWB2 (6.9 mg/L·h, 1000 mg/L), among which the highest degraded concentration of phenol for ZWB1 and ZWB2 was 150 and 1000 mg/L. Further, the mechanism of microbial collaboration to enhance phenol biodegradation was raised: the decrease of antioxidant enzymes, and increase of degrading enzymes and surfactants on content after co-culture, assisted the microorganisms in withstanding phenol; Bacillus subtilis ZWB1 used the metabolites of Bacillus velezensis ZWB2 to promote its growth, and further to degrade phenol rapidly; Bacillus subtilis ZWB1 alleviated the damage, which resulted from the pH drop (5.8) of the fermentation broth during phenol degradation that inhibited the growth and degraded ability of Bacillus velezensis ZWB2, making the pH of fermentation broth stable at 7. Metabolic analysis showed that co-culture of strains could produce more alkaline and buffering compounds and pairs, to stabilize pH and reduce the toxicity of acidity on ZWB2, thus increasing the degradation rate. This study explains the mechanism of microbial collaboration on phenol biodegradation from multiple perspectives, especially pH stabilization, which provides a theoretical basis for the degradation of pollutants by co-culture microorganisms.

Abstract
Microorganism-based methods have been widely applied for the treatment of phenol-polluted environments. The previously isolated Acinetobacter lwoffii NL1 strain could completely degrade 0.5 g/L phenol within 12 h, but not higher concentrations of phenol. In this study, we developed an evolutionary strain NL115, through adaptive laboratory evolution, which possessed improved degradation ability and was able to degrade 1.5 g/L phenol within 12 h. Compared with that of the starting strain NL1, the concentration of degradable phenol by the developed strain increased three-fold; its phenol tolerance was also enhanced. Furthermore, comparative genomics showed that sense mutations mainly occurred in genes encoding alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, phenol hydroxylase, 30S ribosomal protein, and mercury resistance operon. Comparative transcriptomics between A. lwoffii NL115 and NL1 revealed the enrichment of direct degradation, stress resistance, and vital activity processes among the metabolic responses of A. lwoffii adapted to phenol stress. Among these, all the upregulated genes (log2fold-change > 5) encoded peroxidases. A phenotypic comparison of A. lwoffii NL1 and NL115 found that the adapted strain NL115 exhibited strengthened antioxidant capacity. Furthermore, the increased enzymatic activities of phenol hydroxylase and alkyl hydroperoxide reductase in A. lwoffii NL115 validated their response to phenol. Overall, this study provides insight into the mechanism of efficient phenol degradation through adaptive microbial evolution and can help to drive improvements in phenol bioremediation.

Abstract
Wastewater containing excess phenolic compounds is considered a major environmental concern due to its adverse impacts on the ecosystem. In this work, an effort has been given to treat the p-cresol from wastewater using Recirculating Packed Bed Biofilm Reactor (RPBBR). The process parameters, namely inoculum dose, pH, and NaCl (w/v) concentration were optimized to enhance the specific growth and obtained to be 14 ml, 7.0, and 1% NaCl (w/100 ml), respectively. Maximum p-cresol removal efficiency of 99.36±0.2% was achieved at 100 mg L-1 of p-cresol. First-order rate constants were found to be 0.70 day-1 and 0.96 day-1 for batch and continuous mode, respectively. The intermediates were analysed using FT-IR and GC-MS analysis. Pseudomonas fluorescens was used to assess bacterial toxicity and observed that the toxicity was reduced in case of treated wastewater. Finally, the performance of continuous RPBBR was better than the batch mode.

Abstract
Phenol poses a threat as one of the most important industrial environmental pollutants that must be removed before disposal. Biodegradation is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach for phenol removal. This work aimed at studying phenol degradation by Pseudarthrobacter phenanthrenivorans Sphe3 cells and also, investigating the pathway used by the bacterium for phenol catabolism. Moreover, alginate-immobilized Sphe3 cells were studied in terms of phenol degradation efficiency compared to free cells. Sphe3 was found to be capable of growing in the presence of phenol as the sole source of carbon and energy, at concentrations up to 1500 mg/L. According to qPCR findings, both pathways of ortho- and meta-cleavage of catechol are active, however, enzymatic assays and intermediate products identification support the predominance of the ortho-metabolic pathway for phenol degradation. Alginate-entrapped Sphe3 cells completely degraded 1000 mg/L phenol after 192 h, even though phenol catabolism proceeds slower in the first 24 h compared to free cells. Immobilized Sphe3 cells retain phenol-degrading capacity even after 30 days of storage and also can be reused for at least five cycles retaining more than 75% of the original phenol-catabolizing capacity.

Abstract
As one of the organic pollutants in industrial wastewater, phenol seriously threatens the environment and human health. Among various methods, microbial degradation of phenol possesses the advantages of nontoxicity and no secondary pollution. Therefore, search for microbial resources that can efficiently degrade phenol has become an important issue. In this study, a strain that could efficiently degrade phenol was isolated. The strain was identified as Bacillus cereus based on its morphology, physiological and biochemical features and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The strain can completely degrade phenol up to 1,500 mg/L within 26 h (57.7 mg·L-1·h-1), under the optimum conditions, faster compared with the known degrading bacteria. The strain could efficiently remove phenol at a wide range of temperatures (22-37 °C) and pH (7-9), and Mn2+ and Zn2+ stress. Interestingly, this strain displayed the potential on microthermal environment, which could degrade 1,200 mg/L phenol within 36 h at 22 °C. Further, the strain had capacity that used a variety of aromatic compounds as the sole carbon source for growth. This study shows a useful biodegradation route on the wastewater treatment under high phenol concentration conditions, providing alternatives for environmental remediation.
