Abstract
Bioremediation is a promising approach for mitigating commingled contaminations of chlorinated ethenes (CEs) and 1,4-dioxane (DX). However, aerobic bioremediation to simultaneously remove CEs and DX remains challenging. This study aimed to explore the ability of Pseudonocardia sp. D17 (D17) to aerobically degrade CEs and its applicability for concurrent removal of CEs and DX. Aerobic degradation experiments of individual CEs revealed that D17 could degrade trichloroethene (TCE), three isomers of dichloroethene (DCE), and vinyl chloride (VC), and the trend of its degradation ability was cis-1,2-DCE (cDCE) > VC > TCE > trans-1,2-DCE > 1,1-DCE. Notably, the CE-degrading activity of D17 was expressed even without any auxiliary substrates. Further, when TCE, cDCE, or VC was co-present with DX (each at 1 mg/L), D17 could degrade both compounds without any significant inhibition (for TCE and cDCE) or with only a transient and reversible suspension of its DX degradation ability (for VC). These findings indicated that D17 is a promising agent for the aerobic bioremediation of CEs and DX co-contamination and provide novel insights into the future development of efficient aerobic bioremediation strategies.
