Abstract
Mining has led to severe environmental pollution in countries with exhaustive mining production and inadequate industrial waste regulation. Microorganisms in contaminated sites, like mine tailings, have adapted to high concentrations of heavy metals, developing the capacity of reducing or removing them from these environments. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly characterize bacteria present in these sites to find different ways of bioremediation. In this regard, in this study, an enrichment and isolation procedure were performed to isolate bacteria with lower nutritional requirements and high tolerance to Cu(II) and Fe(II) from two Sonoran River basin mining tails. Two Staphylococcus species and a Microbacterium ginsengisoli strain were isolated and identified from the San Felipe de Jesús mining tail. Also, three strains were isolated from the Nacozari de García mining tail: Burkholderia cenocepacia, Sphingomonas sp. and Staphylococcus warneri. Significant microbiological differences were found between the two sites. All these species exhibited tolerance up to 300 mg/L for Cu (II)-Fe (II) solutions, indicating their capacity to grow in these conditions. Moreover, a consortium of isolated bacteria was immobilized in two different biocomposites and the biocomposite with larger pore size achieved greater bacterial immobilization showcasing the potential of these bacteria in biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Water and wastewater are contaminated with various types of trace elements that are released from industrial activities. Their presence, at concentrations above the permissible limit, will cause severe negative impacts on human health and the environment. Due to their cost-effectiveness, simple design, high efficiency, and selectivity, adsorption, and adsorptive filtration are techniques that have received lots of attention as compared to other water treatment techniques. Adsorption isotherms and kinetic studies help to understand the mechanisms of adsorption and adsorption rates, which can be used to develop and optimize different adsorbents. This state-of-the-art review provides and combines the advancements in different conventional and advanced adsorbents, biosorbents, and adsorptive membranes for the removal of trace elements from water streams. Herein, this review discusses the sources of different trace elements and their impact on human health. The review also covers the adsorption technique with a focus on various advanced adsorbents, their adsorption capacities, and adsorption isotherm modeling in detail. In addition, biosorption is critically discussed together with its mechanisms and biosorption isotherms. In the end, the application of various advanced adsorptive membranes is discussed and their comparison with adsorbents and biosorbents is systematically presented.

WASTE MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH : THE JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOLID WASTES AND PUBLIC CLEANSING ASSOCIATION, ISWA 2023; 41:894-902. [PMID: 36245414 PMCID: PMC10108327 DOI: 10.1177/0734242x221126418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The growing consumption of electrical and electronic equipment leads to high amounts of electronic waste (e-waste), which is now considered the fastest-growing waste stream at the national and international levels. As well as being a potential secondary resource due to its precious metals content, e-waste also contains strategic metals and plastics. For instance, mobile phones have about 25-55% plastic substances. A few studies have been performed to investigate the potential of indigenous bacteria in metals' bioleaching from the polluted environment. Heterotrophic bioleaching potential in acidic conditions had been preliminarily investigated. Two soil types of iron ore were considered the source of indigenous bacteria. Despite the acidophilic nature of the bacterial consortium, they continued their leaching activity regardless of alkaline conditions. Maximum biorecovery rate related to copper (4%) responding to the main soil, owing to the higher copper content of mobile phone waste. Chromium had the least recovery rate (⩽0.002%). Overall, the maximum metal recovery rate was 4.7%, achieved by tailing heterotrophs at an e-waste loading of 10 g l-1. Statistical analysis had shown that there was no significant difference between the metal recovery rates and soil type or even the solid-liquid ratio (p > 0.05). Although acidophilic indigenous heterotrophs could not be an appropriate alternative for a large amount of metal recovery process, they might have considerable potential in the bioremediation of e-waste plastic fractions and metals in low concentrations simultaneously.

Abstract
Electrical instruments are an integral part of human life resulting in a vast electronic waste generation (74.7 Mt by 2030), threatening human life and the environment due to its hazardous nature. Therefore, proper e-waste management is a necessity. Currently, bio-metallurgy is a sustainable process and an emerging research field. Simultaneous leaching of metals using two groups of indigenous heterotrophs and autotrophs was an exciting work done in this study. Bioleaching experiments using pre-adapted cultures were investigated at three e-waste densities: 5, 10, and 15 g/L. Statistical analysis was done using two-way ANOVA. Copper (93%), zinc (21.5%), and nickel (10.5%) had the highest recovery efficiencies. There was a significant difference between copper, nickel, tin, and zinc concentrations and the bacterial group (P < 0.05); Iron-oxidizing bacteria showed the most weight decrease and recovered 46-47% of total metals, mainly copper and nickel, while sulfur oxidizers were more capable of zinc leaching. The heterotrophs solubilized tin preferably and substantially decreased e-waste weight. Using heterotrophs alongside autotrophs is proposed to promote metal recovery.

Isolation of heavy metal-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis strain TWSL_22 and evaluation of heavy metal bioremediation potential of recombinant E. coli cloned with isolated cadD. FEMS Microbiol Lett 2023; 370:fnad092. [PMID: 37708035 DOI: 10.1093/femsle/fnad092] [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: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023] Open
Abstract
A heavy metal-resistant bacterial strain, TWSL_22 was isolated from an industrial effluent sample and tested for heavy metal tolerance and resistance. The strain was molecularly characterized as Staphylococcus epidermidis based on 16S rDNA gene analysis and the sequence was deposited in the NCBI repository (accession number KT184893.1). Metal removal activity (P < .001) of TWSL_22 was 99.99 ± 0.001%, 74.43 ± 2.51%, and 51.16 ± 4.17% for Cd, Pb, and Cu, respectively. Highest MIC was observed for Cd. Antibiotic susceptibility assays revealed the strain TWSL_22 to be resistant to several antibiotics. The strain was screened for possible heavy metal-resistant genes and presence of cadA, copA, and cadD was confirmed by PCR. A DNA fragment containing complete sequence of cadD (618 bp) was isolated and cloned into pET 21a(+), transformed into E. coli BL21 and designated as E. coli/cadDET. E. coli/cadDET showed high metal tolerance capacity and could remove over 82% of heavy metals (Zn2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Cr3+) in the industrial effluent.

Abstract
The phytoremediation potency of Gossypium hirsutum was explored in this research under the influence of pre-identified metal tolerant Streptomyces tritici D5 in Cr enriched sludge soil using various treatment sets (I to V) in a greenhouse setting. Interestingly, the G. hirsutum remarkable remediate the Cr metal from the Cr enriched sludge soil under diluted (50:50) condition in 90 days of greenhouse experiment. The S. tritici D5 also effectively support the growth and phytoremediation competence of G. hirsutum. This was evidenced by the under the diluted (set III) condition the growth and major biomolecules such as protein, carbohydrate, and chlorophyll content of G. hirsutum were considerably increased in quantity. Hence, the phytoremediation potential of G. hirsutum was effective at soil diluted with fertile and xenobiotics free soil with dilution ratio of 50:50 (set III) and followed by 75:25 (set II) ratio. Thus, under diluted conditions (50:50) G. hirsutum seed coated with S. tritici D5 showed an outstanding phytoremediation process. Therefore, this method can be implemented to the field level study to assess the metal removal prospects of this environmentally friendly method.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in the Antarctic has gone beyond our imagination. Copper toxicity is a selective pressure on Planococcus sp. O5. We observed relatively broad tolerance in the polar bacterium. The heavy metal resistance pattern is Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Cd2+ > Hg2+ > Zn2+. In the study, we combined biochemical and metabolomics approaches to investigate the Cu2+ adaptation mechanisms of the Antarctic bacterium. Biochemical analysis revealed that copper treatment elevated the activity of antioxidants and enzymes, maintaining the bacterial redox state balance and normal cell division and growth. Metabolomics analysis demonstrated that fatty acids, amino acids, and carbohydrates played dominant roles in copper stress adaptation. The findings suggested that the adaptive mechanisms of strain O5 to copper stress included protein synthesis and repair, accumulation of organic permeable substances, up-regulation of energy metabolism, and the formation of fatty acids.
