Reclamation of chromium-contaminated soil by native Cr(VI)-reducing and PHA-accumulating Bacillus aryabhattai CTSI-07. Int Microbiol 2024; 27:731-742. [PMID: 37676443 DOI: 10.1007/s10123-023-00421-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
Reclamation of chromium-contaminated soil by bacteria is a big confront concerning to soil health restoration, food safety, and environmental protection. Herein, the chromium-resistant Bacillus aryabhattai CTSI-07 (MG757377) showed resistance to 1000 and 300 ppm of Cr(VI) in nutrient rich Luria Bertani (LB) and nutrient-deficient sucrose low phosphate (SLP) medium, respectively. It reduced 96.7% of Cr(VI) from contaminated soil in the presence of 100 ppm of Mg within 96 h under optimized conditions. Furthermore, Cr(VI) reduction by the bacteria was validated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Besides Cr(VI) reduction, the bacterial strain also showed plant growth promoting traits like N2 fixation and indole acetic acid (IAA) production. On the other hand, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging confirmed polyhydroxyalkanoates' (PHAs) granule accumulation and 0.5 g/l of PHAs was extracted from bacterial cell using SLP medium. Infra-red (IR) spectra and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) chemical shift patterns established the PHAs as polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). Melting (Tm) and thermal degradation (Td) temperature of the PHB were 169 °C and 275 °C, respectively, as evident from thermogravimetry differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). Atomic force microscopic (AFM) imaging depicted that the PHB film surface was rough and regular. Furthermore, the multi-metal-resistant, plant growth-promoting, and PHB-producing bacteria could reduce 99.82% of Cr(VI) from contaminated soil within 120 days in pot culture. Thus, it can be used for long-term reclamation of chromium-contaminated soil to restore soil health, provide food safety, and environmental protection.

Nguyen TBH, Van HT, Dang VM, Ha Tran TN, Nguyen TT, Hoang TK. Insight into chromium adsorption from contaminated soil using Mg/Al LDH-zeolite. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31084. [PMID: 38803945 PMCID: PMC11128915 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31084] [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: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
The study investigated the effectiveness of Mg/Al LDH-zeolite (MALZ) in immobilizing exchangeable Cr (e-Cr) within the soil. The research systematically evaluated various variables affecting the immobilization of e-Cr in contaminated soil (CS), including soil pH levels (ranging from 5.0 to 9.0), different weight ratios of MALZ (1 %, 3 %, and 5 %), durations of differing incubation periods (15, 30 and 45 days), and different SM content levels (30 %, 50 %, and 70 %). The initial concentration of Cr in the CS was maintained at 50 mg/kg. The investigation findings revealed that the optimal conditions for immobilizing the e-Cr were a soil pH of 5.0, an MALZ weight ratio of 3 %, an incubation period of 30 days, and an SM level of 70 %. Under these ideal conditions, the percentage of e-Cr within the CS decreased significantly, from 87.49 % (45.64 mg/kg) in the control treatment (CT) to just 19.82 % (10.08 mg/kg) when incubated with MALZ. The primary mechanisms responsible for immobilizing the e-Cr onto MALZ included pore filling, reduction processes, co-precipitation, organic interactions and electrostatic attractions leading to the formation of carbonate-bound complexes such as Cr(VI)-carbonate, Cr(III)-carbonate, and organic complexes. Surface functional groups on MALZ, housing iron and aluminium oxyhydroxides and silicon and oxygen elements, expedited these procedures. This study provided a valuable understanding of the mitigation of soils contaminated with chromium and contributed to understanding the relations between MALZ and the e-Cr in the soil. The discoveries carry substantial consequences for the advancement of efficient remediation technologies.

Abstract
Because of its extreme toxicity and health risks, hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] has been identified as a major environmental contaminant. Bioreduction is considered as one of effective techniques for cleaning up Cr(VI)-contaminated sites, but the remediation efficiency needs to be enhanced. Here, a novel immobilized microbial agent was produced by immobilizing Bacillus cereus ZY-2009 with sodium alginate (SA) using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and activated carbon (AC). To evaluate the decrease of Cr(VI) by immobilized bacterial agents, batch tests were conducted with varying immobilization conditions, immobilization carriers, and dosages of medication. The removal of Cr(VI) by the agent prepared by the composite immobilization method was better than that by the adsorption and encapsulation methods. The optimal preparation conditions were the fraction of magnetic PVA was 5.00%, the fraction of SA was 4.00%, the fraction of CaCl2 was 4.00%, and the calcification time was 12 h. The experimental results indicated that PVA/SA/AC agents accelerated the reduction rate of Cr(VI). The removal rate of Cr(VI) by immobilized cells (90.5%) under ideal conditions was substantially higher than that of free cells (11.0%). This novel agent had a large specific surface area and a rich pore structure, accounting for its high reduction rate. The results suggest that the PVA/SA/AC immobilized Bacillus cereus ZY-2009 agent has great potential to remove Cr(VI) from wastewater treatment systems.

Abstract
Living beings have been devastated by environmental pollution, which has reached its peak. The disastrous pollution of the environment is in large part due to industrial wastes containing toxic pollutants. The widespread use of chromium (Cr (III)/Cr (VI)) in industries, especially tanneries, makes it one of the most dangerous environmental pollutants. Chromium pollution is widespread due to ineffective treatment methods. Bioremediation of chromium (Cr) using bacteria is very thoughtful due to its eco-friendly and cost-effective outcome. In order to counter chromium toxicity, bacteria have numerous mechanisms, such as the ability to absorb, reduce, efflux, or accumulate the metal. In this review article, we focused on chromium toxicity on human and environmental health as well as its bioremediation mechanism.

Abstract
Soil microbial communities connect to the functional environment and play an important role in the biogeochemical cycle and waste degradation. The current study evaluated the distribution of the core microbial population of garden soil in the Varanasi region of Uttar Pradesh, India and their metabolic potential for mitigating toxic hexavalent chromium from wastewater. Metagenomes contain 0.2 million reads and 56.5% GC content. The metagenomic analysis provided insight into the relative abundance of soil microbial communities and revealed the domination of around 200 bacterial species belonging to different phyla and four archaeal phyla. The top 10 abundant genera in garden soil were Gemmata, Planctomyces, Steroidobacter, Pirellula, Pedomicrobium, Rhodoplanes, Nitrospira Mycobacterium, Pseudonocardia, and Acinetobacter. In this study, Gemmata was dominating bacterial genera. Euryarchaeota, Parvarchaeota, and Crenarchaeota archaeal species were present with low abundance in soil samples. X-ray photoelectric spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicates the presence of carbon, nitrogen-oxygen, calcium, phosphorous, and silica in the soil. Soil-derived bacterial consortia showed high hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] removal efficiency (99.37%). The bacterial consortia isolated from garden soil had an important role in the hexavalent chromium bioremediation, and thus, this study could be beneficial for the design of a heavy-metal treatment system.

Abstract
In the present work, the removal of Cr (VI), Cd (II) and Pb (II) at 50 mg/L of each metal ion concentration was investigated by Microbacterium paraoxydans strain VSVM IIT(BHU). The heavy metal binding on the bacterial cell surface was confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis also confirmed the reduction of Cr (VI) to Cr (III). Heavy metal removal dynamics was investigated by evaluating dimensionless, and the value of Nk (9.49 × 10-3, 9.92 × 10-3 and 1.23 × 10-2 for Cr (VI), Cd (II) and Pb (II) ions) indicated that the removal of heavy metals by bacterial isolate was mixed diffusion and transfer controlled. It was found that both the experimental and predicted values for isolated bacterial strain coincided with each other with a good R2 value in the L-M Algorithm range of 0.94-0.98 for the ternary metal ion system. The bacterial isolate presented a maximum heavy metal ion removal efficiency of 91.62% Cr (VI), 89.29% Pb (II), and 83.29% Cd (II) at 50 mg/L.

Abstract
The use of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) for the remediation of degraded areas is a consolidated practice. However, the long-term reactions that occur in the environment remain unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the potential toxic effects on the growth of colony-forming units (CFUs) of Bacillus cereus and Pseudomona aeruginosa present in soil contaminated with hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) and pentachlorophenol (PCP) nanoremediated with nZVI. The treatments were natural soil (control), soil contaminated by Cr6+, soil contaminated by PCP, and soil contaminated by Cr6+ and PCP (Cr6+ and PCP), all in duplicate. The concentration of contaminants used was 100 mg/kg of soil. One of the drums of the duplicate received an injection of nZVI solution with a concentration of 50 g/kg. Analysis was performed 7, 15, 21, 30, 60, and 90 days after the nZVI injection. Temporary oscillations in the abundance of the microbiological community were observed, characterizing the adaptation of bacteria to the contaminants. The bacteria showed similar behavior. Ninety days after the injection of nZVI, the averages of the CFUs were statistically equal, with the lowest coefficient of variation and the highest concentration of CFUs occurring. The strains of B. cereus and P. aeruginosa were resistant to the concentrations of nZVI, Cr6+, and PCP. The nanoremediation of nZVI in soil contaminated by Cr6+ and PCP had no toxic effects on the population of the bacteria evaluated and did not present major disturbances in temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, and humidity over time.

Abstract
In this work, an innovative technology by using ferrous sulfate combined with digestate, was applied to the Cr (VI) reduction. In the combined process, 3% ferrous sulfate, 5% digestate, 2% glucose, 30 °C and 50% moisture content were proved to be the optimal operating conditions. The combined process achieved 100% reduction of 3000 mg/Kg Cr (VI) within 10 days. Ferrous sulfate and digestate had a synergistic effect on Cr (VI) reduction. XPS analysis showed that Cr (VI) was reduced to Cr (III) in the combined treatment group. Functional microorganisms in digestate played an important role in the reduction of Cr (VI). Sulfate and Fe(III) could be reduced by microorganisms in digestate, and the reduction products accelerated the reduction of Cr (VI). The combined treatment improved the relative abundance of Clostridium, Acinetobacter, and Tissierella, which were of great significance for the reduction of Cr (VI).

Abstract
Tannery industries are one of the extensive industrial activities which are the major source of chromium contamination in the environment. Chromium contamination has been an increasing threat to the environment and human health. Therefore, the removal of chromium ions is necessary to save human society. This study is oriented toward the preparation of a new triazole Schiff base derivatives for the remediation of chromium ions. 4,4′-((1E)-1,2-bis ((1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl) imino)ethane-1,2-diyl) diphenol was prepared by the interaction between 3-Amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole and 4,4′-Dihydroxybenzil. Then, the produced Schiff base underwent a phosphorylation reaction to produce the adsorbent (TIHP), which confirmed its structure via the different tools FTIR, TGA, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, GC-MS, and Phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR). The newly synthesized adsorbent (TIHP) was used to remove chromium oxyanions (Cr(VI)) from an aqueous solution. The batch technique was used to test many controlling factors, including the pH of the working aqueous solution, the amount of adsorbent dose, the initial concentration of Cr(VI), the interaction time, and the temperature. The desorption behaviour of Cr(VI) changes when it is exposed to the suggested foreign ions. The maximum adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) adsorption on the new adsorbent was 307.07 mg/g at room temperature. Freundlich’s isotherm model fits the adsorption isotherms perfectly. The kinetic results were well-constrained by the pseudo-second-order equation. The thermodynamic studies establish that the adsorption type was exothermic and naturally spontaneous.

Abstract
Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209), a polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) homolog, seriously threatens human health. In this study, a Rhodococcus ruber strain with high BDE-209 degradation activity, named TAW-CT127, was isolated from Tong’an Bay, Xiamen. Under laboratory conditions, the strain’s optimal growth temperature, pH, and salinity are 45 °C, 7.0, and 0–2.5%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis shows that TAW-CT127 is damaged when grown in manual marine culture (MMC) medium with BDE-209 as the sole carbon source instead of eutrophic conditions. In the dark, under the conditions of 28 °C, 160 rpm, and 3 g/L (wet weight) TAW-CT127, the degradation rate of 50 mg/L BDE-209 is 81.07%. The intermediate metabolites are hexabromo-, octabromo-, and nonabromo-diphenyl ethers. Through whole-genome sequencing, multiple dehalogenases were found in the genome of TAW-CT127; these may be involved in the production of lower-brominated diphenyl ethers. Additionally, biphenyl-2,3-dioxygenase (BDO) in TAW-CT127 may catalyze the debromination reaction of BDE-209. Our research provides a new high-efficiency strain for bioremediation of BDE-209 pollution, and lays the foundation for the preliminary exploration of genes associated with BDE-209 degradation.

Abstract
Bioremediation, which has several advantages over traditional methods, represents an alternative means of dealing with heavy metal pollution. We screened for microorganisms showing heavy metal tolerance in polluted mangrove soils. A novel yeast, Geotrichum sp. CS-67, was discovered and tested for tolerance of Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+. Zn2+ was the most efficiently sequestered by Geotrichum sp. CS-67 followed by Ni2+ and Cu2+. Zn2+ and Ni2+ were actively taken up into the cell, while Cu2+ was adsorbed to the cell wall. We used RNA-Seq to show that a large number of genes involved in the physiological and biochemical processing of heavy metals were differentially expressed in this yeast when it was subjected to Zn2+ and Ni2+ stress. From this panel, we selected the SED1, GDI1 and ZRT1 genes for validation by qRT-PCR and discovered that, during Zn2+ and Ni2+ stress, SED1 and GDI1 were upregulated, while ZRT1 was downregulated, which was consistent with the RNA-Seq results and the biochemical function of these genes. In conclusion, the novel yeast Geotrichum sp. CS-67 has a marked ability to accumulate heavy metal ions, making it of great interest as a possible microbial agent for heavy metal pollution remediation in the future.

Isolation and characterization of a highly effective bacterium Bacillus cereus b-525k for hexavalent chromium detoxification. Saudi J Biol Sci 2022; 29:2878-2885. [PMID: 35531181 PMCID: PMC9073032 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2022.01.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2021] [Revised: 01/04/2022] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
The chromate resistant Gram-positive Bacillus cereus strain b-525k was isolated from tannery effluents, demonstrating optimal propagation at 37 °C and pH 8. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test showed that B. cereus b-525k can tolerate up to 32 mM Cr6+, and also exhibit the ability to resist other toxic metal ions including Pb2+ (23 mM), As3+ (21 mM), Zn2+ (17 mM), Cd2+ (5 mM), Cu2+ (2 mM), and Ni2+ (3 mM) with the resistance order as Cr 6+ > Pb2+ > As3+ >Zn2+ >Cd2+ >Ni2+ >Cu2+. B. cereus b-525k showed maximum biosorption efficiency (q) of 51 mM Cr6+/g after 6 days. Chromate stress elicited pronounced production of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase (CAT) 191%, glutathione transferase (GST) 192%, superoxide dismutase (SOD) 161%, peroxidase (POX) 199%, and ascorbate peroxidase (APOX) (154%). Within B. cereus b-525k, the influence of Cr6+ stress (2 mM) did stimulate rise in levels of GSH (907%) and non-protein thiols (541%) was measured as compared to the control (without any Cr6+ stress) which markedly nullifies Cr6+ generated oxidative stress. The pilot scale experiments utilizing original tannery effluent showed that B. cereus b-525k could remove 99% Cr6+ in 6 days, thus, it could be a potential candidate to reclaim the chromate contaminated sites.

Biotreatment potential of co-contaminants hexavalent chromium and polychlorinated biphenyls in industrial wastewater: Individual and simultaneous prospects. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 779:146345. [PMID: 33752007 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.146345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Revised: 02/21/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Co-existence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in the environment due to effluent from industries has aggravated the pollution problem. Both contaminants can alter chemical interactions, processes and impair enzymatic activities in the ecosystem that results in negative impacts on aquatic and terrestrial life. Previously, research has been performed for the fate and transfer of these contaminants individually, but simultaneous removal approaches have not received much attention. Cr(VI) exists in a highly toxic form in the environment once released, whereas location of chlorine atoms in the ring determines PCBs toxicity. Lower chlorinated compounds are easily degradable whereas as high chlorinated compounds require sequential strategy for transformation. Microorganisms can develop different mechanism to detoxify both pollutants. However, occurrence of multiple contaminants in single system can alter the bioremediation efficiency of bacteria. Use of metal resistance bacterial for the degradation of organic compounds has been widely used bioaugmentation strategy. Along with that use of sorbents/bio sorbents, biosurfactants and phytoremediation approaches have already been well reported. Bioremediation strategy with dual potential to detoxify the Cr(VI) and PCBs would be a probable option for simultaneous biotreatment. Application of bioreactors and biofilms covered organic particles can be utilized as efficient bioaugmentation approach. In this review, biotreatment systems and bacterial oxidative and reductive enzymes/processes are explained and possible biotransformation pathway has been purposed for bioremediation of co-contaminated waters.

[PMID: 32731582 PMCID: PMC7432837 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17155438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 166] [Impact Index Per Article: 41.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 07/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
Chromium is a potentially toxic metal occurring in water and groundwater as a result of natural and anthropogenic sources. Microbial interaction with mafic and ultramafic rocks together with geogenic processes release Cr (VI) in natural environment by chromite oxidation. Moreover, Cr (VI) pollution is largely related to several Cr (VI) industrial applications in the field of energy production, manufacturing of metals and chemicals, and subsequent waste and wastewater management. Chromium discharge in European Union (EU) waters is subjected to nationwide recommendations, which vary depending on the type of industry and receiving water body. Once in water, chromium mainly occurs in two oxidation states Cr (III) and Cr (VI) and related ion forms depending on pH values, redox potential, and presence of natural reducing agents. Public concerns with chromium are primarily related to hexavalent compounds owing to their toxic effects on humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms. Risks for human health range from skin irritation to DNA damages and cancer development, depending on dose, exposure level, and duration. Remediation strategies commonly used for Cr (VI) removal include physico-chemical and biological methods. This work critically presents their advantages and disadvantages, suggesting a site-specific and accurate evaluation for choosing the best available recovering technology.
