Abstract
The environmental risks posed by highly toxic pentavalent vanadium [V(V)] have drawn widespread attention. However, the mechanisms underlying the reduction and tolerance of V(V) by indigenous microorganisms in high-background vanadium(V) mining areas remain unclear. This study isolated Priestia aryabhattai, a previously unreported, highly vanadium-tolerant strain, from soils in a high-background V region in Panzhihua, China. Under conditions without exogenous electron donors, this strain achieved a reduction rate of 40.98 ± 1.00% at an initial V(V) concentration of 100 mg/L within 48 h. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that tetravalent vanadium [V(IV)] constituted as much as 67.51% of the reduction products. Furthermore, this study first demonstrated that the strain responds to V(V) stress by inducing spore formation, revealing a novel microbial tolerance mechanism under V(V) stress. This research uncovers a novel tolerance mechanism for native strains against V pollution, providing new insights and a theoretical foundation for microbial remediation of V contamination.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
