Abstract
Current research was performed to look for the performance of Bacillus cereus PY3 for metal detoxification. Strain PY3 was recognized as B. cereus using 16 S rRNA. Higher rate of removal of Zn and Cr (VI) by PY3 was obtained between pH 6-8 and 100-500 µg/mL in 24 h. Highest removal of Cr6+ by strain PY3 was achieved at acidic, neutral, and alkaline atmosphere, 100-300 µg Cr6+ /mL and 25-35°C. Supernatant of PY3 detoxified Cr6+ into Cr3+ then cell pellet (debris) adsorbed them. The mechanism of metal removal was due to the release of cytolic extracts. Release of antioxidants and bio-film played a protective role against cell damage. Metals increased antioxidants and bio-film formation. SEM images showed the smooth external structure of PY3 when cells were exposed to metals thus confirming the role of cells for detoxification. Results Above facts conclude that PY3 can remove metallic pollution in polluted soil.

Abstract
Heavy metal wastes, particularly hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)], are generated from anthropogenic activities, and their increasing abundance has been a research concern due to their toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. Exposure to these dangerous pollutants could lead to chronic infections and even mortality in humans and animals. Bioremediation using microorganisms, particularly bacteria, has gained considerable interest because it can remove contaminants naturally and is safe to the surrounding environment. Bacteria, such as Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus subtilis, can reduce the toxic Cr(VI) to the less toxic trivalent chromium Cr(III) through mechanisms including biotransformation, biosorption and bioaccumulation. These mechanisms are mostly linked to chromium reductase and nitroreductase enzymes, which are involved in the Cr(VI) reduction pathway. However, relevant data on the nitroreductase route remain insufficient. Thus, this work proposes an alternative metabolic pathway of nitroreductase, wherein nitrate activates the reaction and indirectly reduces toxic chromium. This nitroreductase pathway occurs concurrently with the chromium reduction pathway.

Abstract
A few studies reported the impact of mineral conductivity properties on contaminant-mineral-microbe interactions and microbial community structure changes in the interaction process. To fill the gap, conductive minerals (magnetite/hematite) and an insulative mineral (quartz) were introduced into Cr(VI) reduction systems to investigate the effect of mineral conductivity properties on Cr(VI) removal. Results showed that conductive minerals enhanced Cr(VI) reduction rate as compared to insulative minerals. Higher reduction percentage (>86%) was observed when both ERB (extracellular respiratory bacteria) and conductive minerals were presence than those with only minerals (<10%) or ERB (<55%), indicating a synergistic effect existed in this bio-remediation system. Moreover, surface elements detection manifested higher Fe-containing groups and Fe(III)-Cr(III) complexes covered on conductive minerals surface when ERB was present. Electrochemical data suggested that ERB facilitated the activity of electron transference on the surface of conductive minerals. Our results indicated that conductive minerals did act as an "electron shuttle" while insulative minerals increased adsorption sites to accelerate Cr(VI) reduction. 16S rRNA sequences results demonstrated that conductive minerals changed the microbial community structure and increased the diversity of the functional microbes including Pseudomonas spp. and Exiguobacterium spp. This work is of deep significance for better understanding the process of elements biogeochemical and elimination of pollutants.

Abstract
Soils contaminated with heavy metals such as Chromium (Cr) and Cadmium (Cd) severely impede plant growth. Several rhizospheric microorganisms support plant growth under heavy metal stress. In this study, Cr and Cd stress was applied to in vitro germinating seedlings of a Legume plant species, Sesbania sesban, and investigated the plant growth potential in presence and absence of Bacillus anthracis PM21 bacterial strain under heavy metal stress. The seedlings were exposed to different concentrations of Cr (25-75 mg/L) and Cd (100-200 mg/L) in Petri plates. Growth curve analysis of B. anthracis PM21 revealed its potential to adapt Cr and Cd stress. The bacteria supported plant growth by exhibiting ACC-deaminase activity (1.57-1.75 μM of α-ketobutyrate/h/mg protein), producing Indole-3-acetic acid (99-119 μM/mL) and exopolysaccharides (2.74-2.98 mg/mL), under heavy metal stress condition. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences in growth parameters between the seedlings with and without bacterial inoculation in metal stress condition. The combined Cr+Cd stress (75 + 200 mg/L) significantly reduced root length (70%), shoot length (24%), dry weight (54%) and fresh weight (57%) as compared to control. Conversely, B. anthracis PM21 inoculation to seedlings significantly increased (p ≤ 0.05) seed germination percentage (5%), root length (31%), shoot length (23%) and photosynthetic pigments (Chlorophyll a: 20%; Chlorophyll b: 16% and total chlorophyll: 18%), as compared to control seedlings without B. anthracis PM21 inoculation. The B. anthracis PM21 inoculation also enhanced activities of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (52%), peroxidase (66%), and catalase (21%), and decreased proline content (56%), electrolyte leakage (50%), and malondialdehyde concentration (46%) in seedlings. The B. anthracis PM21 inoculated seedlings of S. sesban exhibited significantly high (p ≤ 0.05) tissue deposition of Cr (17%) and Cd (16%) as compared to their control counterparts. Findings of the study suggested that B. anthracis PM21 endured metal stress through homeostasis of antioxidant activities, and positively impacted S. sesban growth and biomass. Further experiments in controlled conditions are necessary for investigating phytoremediation potential of S. sesban in metal-contaminated soils in presence of B. anthracis PM21 bacterial strain.

Abstract
This work aimed at elucidating the role of bacteria present in the gut of the earthworm Metaphire posthuma in plant growth promotion and toxic trace elements (TTEs) bioremediation. We isolated and identified three bacterial strains Bacillus safensis (MF 589718), Bacillus flexus (MF 589717) and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (MF 589719) among which the Bacillus strains appeared to be significantly more potent than the Staphylococcus strain (P < 0.05) in promoting plant growth and removing TTE (Cr(VI), Cu(II) and Zn(II)) from aqueous media. These strains exhibited several plant growth promoting traits (e.g., indole acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA) and ammonium ion production, 1-aminocyclopropane- 1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity, and phosphate solubilizing potential). In a pot trial, the gut isolates improved Vigna radiata seed germination, and enhanced the leaf area (30-79%), total chlorophyll content (26-67%) and overall root-shoot biomass (32-83%) as compared to the control. Bacillus safensis and Bacillus flexus were equipotent in removing Cr(VI) (40.5 and 40.3%) from aqueous media; the former triumphed for Zn(II) removal (52.8%), while the latter performed better for Cu(II) removal (43.5%). The gut isolates successfully solubilized phosphate even in TTE-contaminated conditions. The results demonstrate that the earthworm's enteric bacteria possess inherent plant growth promoting, TTE resistance and phosphate solubilization (even under TTE stress) properties which can be further explored for their application in sustainable crop production and environmental management.

Abstract
Combined pollutants with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals have been identified as toxic and unmanageable contaminates. In this work, Pseudomonas gessardii strain LZ-E isolated from wastewater discharge site of a petrochemical company degrades naphthalene and reduces Cr(VI) simultaneously. 95% of 10mgL(-1) Cr(VI) was reduced to Cr(III) while 77% of 800mgL(-1) naphthalene was degraded when strain LZ-E was incubated in BH medium for 48h. Furthermore, naphthalene promotes Cr(VI) reduction in strain LZ-E as catechol and phthalic acid produced in naphthalene degradation are able to reduce Cr(VI) abiotically. An aerated bioreactor system was setup to test strain LZ-E's remediation ability. Strain LZ-E continuously remediated naphthalene and Cr(VI) at rates of 15mgL(-1)h(-1) and 0.20mgL(-1)h(-1) of 800mgL(-1) naphthalene and 10mgL(-1) Cr(VI) addition with eight batches in 16days. In summary, strain LZ-E is a potential applicant for combined pollution remediation.
