Hence for successful remediation, selecting potent isolates and construction of efficient bacterial consortium is inevitable. The aim was to achieve bacterial consortium with the ability to tolerate harsh environment of oil sludge and degrade different hydrocarbon fractions of it. For this purpose, native oil-degrading and biosurfactant-producing bacteria were screened from oil tanks bottom sludge and were evaluated for their salt and heavy metal tolerance. Also, oil-degrading potentials of the isolates as well as their consortium were assessed through GC-FID analysis under both static and shaking conditions. The potential of sugarcane vinasse as a low-cost culture medium for large scale culture of the isolates as well as their immobilization and long-term viability on porous carriers including diatomaceous earth, sugarcane bagasse, and biochar were also investigated. The results showed that <i>A. lactucae</i> strain Ib-30 had the highest hydrocarbon degradation (~ 77%) and high level metal resistance. The oil-degrading efficiency of bacterial consortium was lower than that of individual isolates. <i>S. warneri</i> strain Ae1-30 was identified as the most halotolerant and metal-resistant isolate. Vinasse supported the growth of all strains, with <i>C. hisashii</i> strain T1-50 showing the highest proliferation rate. Sugarcane bagasse outperformed other carriers in maintaining bacterial viability over 14 months. Overall, these findings demonstrate the feasibility of scalable, sustainable bioremediation of oil sludge using potent indigenous bacterial resources and effective bio-carriers, offering a promising solution for industrial waste management.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":486,"journal":{"name":"Biodegradation","volume":"36 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145210427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its high sulfur and ash content can result in the release of harmful substances during combustion. Microbial coal degradation offers a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical and physical methods of coal treatment. In this study, we obtained a bacterium, named as <i>Cupriavidus sp</i> isolated from activated sludge that exhibits potential for lignite degradation. After identification via 16S rDNA sequencing, the degradation characteristics and mechanisms of strain S4 on lignite from Shanxi, were systematically evaluated. Extracellular enzyme activities of strain S4 were measured, revealing the secretion of lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, laccase, alkaline protease, and amylase, indicating its capacity for multi-enzyme synergistic degradation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations confirmed that the bacterium could adsorb onto the coal surface. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis demonstrated a significant increase in free hydroxyl groups on the coal, which facilitates degradation. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy analyses of the liquid-phase products showed a notable increase in long-chain alkanes and phenolic compounds in the degradation liquid, along with the detection of humic substances. Further studies indicated that strain S4 mediates initial adsorption through the secretion of extracellular polymers (EPS) rich in proteins and polysaccharides, highlighting the key mechanism of microbial-coal interface interaction.

Biofilm formation was assessed using Congo red agar and microplate assays. Isolates were identified through cultural, biochemical, and 16S rDNA analysis. Dose–response toxicity test examined degradation across 1%, 3%, 7%, and 10% crude oil concentrations, while PAHs degradation in soil microcosm was analysed using GC–MS. Seasonal variations significantly influenced bacterial populations, with highest count (1.53 × 10<sup>8</sup> CFU/mL) in the dry season and the least 3.17 × 10<sup>6</sup> CFU/mL) during wet season. Optical density peaked at 2.86 nm in enrichment III. Results revealed molecular identities of the isolates as <i>B. tropicus</i> UCB and <i>P. aeruginosa</i> SYLI.

In addition, results showed over 99% removal of low molecular weight PAHs and 75% degradation of high molecular weight PAHs, upon biostimulation. These findings highlight complementary strengths of <i>B. tropicus</i> on high-oil loads and <i>P. aeruginosa</i> rapid initial degradation at lower concentrations.

Owing to its persistence and bioaccumulative potential, paracetamol poses a significant ecotoxicological threat, particularly through trophic transfer in aquatic ecosystems. Conventional wastewater treatment methods often fall short in completely eliminating such micropollutants. In this context, bioremediation offers a promising, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative for pharmaceutical remediation. This study investigates the anaerobic degradation potential of two sulfate-reducing bacterial consortia, designated Consortium I and Consortium II, isolated from Okhla landfill leachate and enriched with distinct Postgate media formulations. Paracetamol was introduced at varying concentrations (50–500 mg/L), with and without supplementation of an auxiliary carbon source, sodium lactate. Metagenomic profiling via 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that Consortium I was primarily composed of <i>Clostridium</i> (40.1%) and <i>Acidipropionibacterium</i> (31.2%), whereas Consortium II exhibited a dominant presence of <i>Clostridium</i> (80.3%) and <i>Bacillus</i> (7.99%). Consortium II exhibited superior degradation kinetics, achieving complete removal of 500 mg/L paracetamol in 48 h under lactate-free conditions. Conversely, the presence of sodium lactate significantly attenuated degradation efficiency, suggesting substrate competition and metabolic preference. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) identified 4-aminophenol and hydroquinone as transient intermediates, supporting a proposed anaerobic degradation pathway for paracetamol. These findings underscore the potential of native sulfate reducing bacterial consortia in the bioremediation of contaminants and provide mechanistic insight into anaerobic paracetamol degradation, offering a viable strategy for enhanced treatment efficacy of contaminated waste streams.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":486,"journal":{"name":"Biodegradation","volume":"36 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145110609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
