The use of urease-producing bacteria (UPB) to hydrolyze urea and drive SRB to treat AMD addresses these two key limitations. Based on the pollution characteristics of AMD from an abandoned sulfur iron mine in Southwest China, this study investigates the feasibility of the combined UPB-SRB treatment for simulated AMD, explores the synergistic mechanism, and evaluates the practical application of this synergy in the treatment of real AMD. The UPB-SRB combination outperforms the individual use of UPB or SRB. When UPB neutralized the pH of simulated AMD from 2 to 5, the highest cost-effectiveness was observed: the solution’s pH increased to 7.2, with removal efficiencies for SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup>, Fe, Fe<sup>2+</sup>, and Mn<sup>2+</sup> reaching 89.18%, 95.59%, 95.81%, and 88.2%, respectively. The reaction products of the UPB-SRB synergy included FeOOH, Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, FeS, Fe, and MnS. UPB utilized ammonia generated from urea hydrolysis to improve the acidic environment, while its metabolic by-products, including amino acids, organic acids, alcohols, and vitamin B, provided carbon and nitrogen sources for SRB. In the treatment of real AMD, the synergistic effect of UPB-SRB achieved removal efficiencies of 96.89% for SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup>, 100% for Fe, and 99.89% for Mn<sup>2+</sup>, and raised the pH from 2 to 8. The treated AMD showed no bio-toxicity or potential risks and demonstrated agricultural reuse potential. By replacing traditional carbon/nitrogen sources with urea-containing wastewater, the combined use of UPB and SRB provides an efficient, safe, and cost-effective solution for AMD disposal, offering a novel approach to optimizing SRB-based AMD treatment and urea wastewater resource utilization.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144145662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, uncertainty still exists regarding the degradation characteristics of TPhP in the presence of cadmium (Cd). Therefore, this research was conducted to elucidate the impacts of Cd on TPhP degradation in sediments. Results showed that the biodegradation efficiency of TPhP in sediments exceeded 90%. The identified degradation products of TPhP indicated that the degradation pathway primarily involved oxidative cleavage, hydroxylation, and methylation, which was further supported by condensed dual descriptors (CDD). However, the presence of Cd significantly inhibited TPhP degradation, with greater inhibition at higher concentrations of both TPhP and Cd. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that xenobiotic metabolism was significantly suppressed. Furthermore, pathways associated with cell motility, membrane transport, and energy metabolism were impaired. These disruptions likely contributed to the decreased degradation efficiency and prolonged half−life of TPhP. Interestingly, biomarkers in Firmicutes were enriched in the high−concentration TPhP + Cd treatment and strongly correlated with degradation−related gene expression, suggesting their significance in TPhP degradation under heavy metal stress. Overall, this research provides insights into the inhibitory effects of Cd on TPhP degradation and offers theoretical support for the bioremediation of TPhP−contaminated sediments with heavy metals.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"172 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144145657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the effects of organic Se on plant immunity and flowering remain poorly understood. In this study, we employed physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic approaches to investigate the impact of organic Se on rose plants. Our findings revealed that organic Se inhibited bud production and corolla unfolding. Individual metabolites, including jasmonic acid (JA) and glutathione (GSH), were found to significantly influence flowering. As Se concentrations increased, the levels of ABA and JA in flowers also elevated. Furthermore, Se upregulated genes involved in the pentose phosphate cycle (e.g., galm and idnk), and metabolites such as D-gluconate and glucose, which are early signals for flower induction. Phytohormones were observed to regulate sugar metabolism, linking Se-induced changes to flowering processes. Se application also altered linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid metabolism, affecting JA synthesis. Key genes encoding LOX2S (Rru01G000760, Rru05G070200, Rru05G070220) and AOS (Rru06G051490) were significantly upregulated. Interestingly, metabolites that increase disease resistance were found to inhibit flowering, suggesting that abnormal flowering may be a plant response to stress resistance. Moreover, low concentrations of Se promoted photosynthesis, with the upregulation of genes encoding NADH dehydrogenase, petA, Ppa, petC, petH, and ATPF1G. Se also modulates antioxidant enzymes, phytohormones, and key metabolites, which are critical signaling molecules in the regulation of disease resistance. These findings provide a scientific basis for the application of organic Se in green agriculture and crop health improvement.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144145596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
