The experiment was conducted over 60 days with six Cr levels: control, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg Cr kg^-1 soil. Results revealed a significant reduction in soil microbial biomass carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur at Cr contamination levels above 100 mg kg^-1.

At 40% soil moisture and 40 °C, reductions were recorded 23.77, 46.95, 48.83, and 30.87%, respectively. Additionally, soil enzyme activities declined with increasing Cr levels.

This review underscores innovative strategies to mitigate salinity stress, focusing on the pivotal role of halotolerant microorganisms and their synergistic interactions with plants. Halotolerant microorganisms enhance plant resilience through diverse mechanisms under salinity, including exopolysaccharide production, sodium sequestration, and phytohormone regulation. It improves ionic balance, nutrient uptake, and root development, facilitated by osmoregulatory and genetic adaptations. In this discussion, we explored emerging technologies, including genome editing (e.g., CRISPR-Cas9), synthetic biology, and advanced omics-based tools such as metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. These cutting-edge approaches offer profound insights into microbial diversity and their functional adaptations to saline environments. By leveraging these technologies, it is possible to design targeted bioremediation strategies through the customization of microbial functionalities to address specific environmental challenges effectively. Advanced methodologies, such as microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs), nanotechnology, and stress-tolerant microbial consortia, significantly enhance plant stress tolerance and facilitate soil restoration. Moreover, integrating digital technologies, including machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), optimizes bioremediation processes by providing precise, scalable, and adaptable solutions tailored to diverse agricultural ecosystems.

Biosorption and bioreduction of Cr(VI) up to 300 mg/l by the strain M1 was confirmed by FTIR, Raman Spectrum and TEM-EDX analysis. Moreover, the strain M1 exhibited high tolerance to temperature (up to 40 °C), pH (up to 8.0), NaCl (up to 6%) and various heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Ni, Cu, Mn and Zn). The strain M1 produced significant IAA, ammonia and EPS under higher concentration of Cr(VI). The strain improved the growth and development of test crop R. communis under higher Cr(VI) concentration. Inoculation of the strain M1 alleviated Cr(VI)-induced oxidative stress in roots and leaves of R. communis by decreasing proline (up to 24 and 33%), H₂O₂ (up to 56 and 43%), and MDA (up to 42 and 40%) by regulating the activity of antioxidant enzymes. These findings suggest that the strain M1 promotes plant growth under Cr(VI) stress through multiple mechanisms, including phytohormone production, nutrient mobilization, stress metabolite modulation, and antioxidant defense system regulation.

However, the mechanism of phycosphere bacteria coordinating with microalgae in response to BHT stress remains poorly understood. Herein, the effect of BHT on the microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum was comprehensively analyzed. BHT exposure led to a dose-dependent inhibition of P. tricornutum growth and the photosynthetic pigment biosynthesis. BHT also led to an increase in the content of malondialdehyde, therefore microalgae responded to the oxidative stress by enhancing activities of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase, to eliminate excess reactive oxygen species in the cells. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis revealed that genes related to photosynthesis, TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) synthesis were up-regulated in response to BHT stress, which are crucial for the microalgae's adaptation to stresses. In addition, high-throughput Illumina MiSeq sequencing results demonstrated a significant increase in the relative abundance of bacteria affiliated with Halomonas, Marivita and Oceanicaulis. Microbiological assays demonstrated that Halomonas can thrive by using BHT as the sole energy source and exhibit a chemotactic response to IAA. Therefore, we conclude that the increased content of IAA secreted by microalgae in the phycosphere environment promoted the enrichment of BHT-tolerant bacterium Halomonas, thereby it is helpful for environmental pressures adaptability of P. tricornutum. Overall, this study provided a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and biochemical effects of BHT on microalgae, and we highlight the potential functional significance of IAA in establishing an interaction between microalgae and algae-associated bacteria in adverse environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":23703,"journal":{"name":"World journal of microbiology & biotechnology","volume":"41 5","pages":"150"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Cartwheel test was done for phenotypic detection of P. aeruginosa efflux pumps in the presence and absence of zinc sulfate.
