Although, it is widely associated with many industries. Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) reduction by the immobilized cells of <i>Paenibacillus taitungensis</i> strain MAHA-MIE was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural networks (ANN). The RSM-Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was selected to investigate the effects of chromium (Cr⁶⁺) concentration, alginate concentration, gellan gum concentration, bead size, and the number of beads on chromium (Cr⁶⁺) reduction rate. Experimental data from the BBD was used to train a feed-forward, multilayer artificial neural network (ANN). Results show that the ANN model outperformed the response surface methodology (RSM) based on actual and predicted data, with lower errors and a higher R² value. The ANN model predicted the optimum points as follows: 155 ppm chromium (Cr⁶⁺), 0.32% alginate, 0.65% gellan gum, 0.5 cm beads, and 27 beads. The validation confirmed a high agreement of chromium (Cr⁶⁺) reduction rate between the validation value (99.00%) and the predicted value (99.99%), with the lowest deviation at 0.1%. Modeling abilities were compared using statistical criteria, including Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Standard Error of Prediction (SEP), Relative Percent Deviation (RPD), and regression coefficients (R²). The ANN analysis showed the high predictive performance, with high R² (0.9911), low SEP (0.45%), RPD (1.88), and RMSE (1.37%). The results of this study approved that alginate-gellan gum immobilized cells of <i>Paenibacillus taitungensis</i> strain MAHA-MIE could be effectively used for the handling of chromium (Cr⁶⁺).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":486,"journal":{"name":"Biodegradation","volume":"36 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749196","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}

Biodegradation and chemical transformation of PS are limited. However, biodegradation is one alternative way to reduce plastic pollution. This research aims to select plastic-degrading bacteria and produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) from plastic waste. Among the marine plastic waste at Chala tat Beach (Songkhla, Thailand), 35 rod-shaped and Gram-positive bacteria were found. The selected strains that exhibited the highest optical density (OD) at 600 nm were CHB1.5, CHD2.2, and CHC3.2. The efficiency of EPS production was tested and showed that CHB 1.5 could produce the maximum amount of EPS (13.47 ± 0.10 g/L) with a significant difference. After four weeks of plastic breakdown, CHB 1.5 had the highest total count (4.03 ± 0.02 Log CFU/mL), followed by CHD2.2 and CHC3.2 (3.99 ± 0.12 and 3.96 ± 0.02 Log CFU/mL, respectively). CHB 1.5 was also examined to use PS foam as a carbon source in modified Mineral Salt Medium for EPS production, with an EPS yield of 1.36 ± 0.08 g/L in week 4. The presence of amides I, polysaccharides, benzene rings, and hydroxyl groups (O–H) was detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The Scanning Electron Microscope images confirmed the adherence of the CHB1.5 strain and EPS formation on the plastic sheet. In conclusion, the strain CHB1.5 showed promising potential for degrading PS plastic and producing EPS. Its qualities could be utilized in the future, as well as contribute to the reduction of plastic pollution in the environment in an eco-friendly way.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":486,"journal":{"name":"Biodegradation","volume":"36 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740775","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}

This study explored the potential synergistic enhancement of Cr(VI) bio-reduction by <i>Shewanella putrefaciens</i> CN32 in combination with three iron minerals (ferrihydrite, goethite and hematite) and riboflavin (RF). The addition of RF accelerates the transfer of electrons from bacterial cells to Fe minerals, which in turn promotes the production of large amounts of Fe(II). The results indicated that compared to the control group, the Cr(VI) reduction rates in the CN32/RF/hematite, goethite, ferrihydrite systems increased to 93.03%, 91.07%, and 86.83%, hematite was capable of generating 2.24 mM Fe(II) due to its stable structure and efficient synergy with riboflavin. Enhancement factor(EF) was used to quantify the synergistic effect of RF and iron minerals on the bio-reduction of Cr(VI). At all three reaction times, the F_EF (K_CN32+RF+Fe/K_CN32) of three Fe(III) minerals were all greater than 1. XPS analysis revealed that the primary reduction products of Cr(VI) were identified as Cr(CH₃C(O)CHC(O)CH₃)₃, Cr₂O₃ and Fe(II)-Cr(III) hydroxide, were predominantly deposited on both bacterial and mineral surfaces, thereby influencing their synergistic interactions.

Stockpiles of chemical warfare agents must be destroyed as recommended by Chemical Weapon Convention (CWC). Toxicity of OP compounds to insects and mammals is due to their ability to inhibit the activity of acetylcholinesterase. Accumulation of acetylcholine leads to overstimulation of nerves, leading to convulsion, paralysis or even death. There is a dire need to decontaminate OP contaminated sites by using inexpensive and eco-friendly agents. Recently, OP hydrolyzing enzymes such as glycerophosphoryl diester phosphodiesterases (GDPDs) emerged as appealing agents to clean-up OP contaminated environmental sites. GDPDs are well known for enzymatic generation of glycerol 3-phosphate and corresponding alcoholic moiety from glycerophosphodiesters. Additionally, they are also involved in hydrolysis of OP compounds and degradative products of nerve agents. In the current review, structural and functional characteristics of GDPDs have been elaborated. Production of GDPDs from natural sources is quiet low so the current study aims at recombinant production of GDPDs from various sources. Comparative analysis of biochemical characteristics of various GDPDs indicated that thermostable GDPDs are active over broad temperature and pH range. In addition, thermostable GDPDs are resistant to high concentrations of organic solvents as well as metal ions. In order to enhance their practical utility, different engineering approaches (directed evolution, rational design and site-saturation mutagenesis) as well as immobilization strategies can be utilized to improve catalytic properties of GDPDs. Thus, the current review highlights the utilization of recombinant engineered free or immobilized GDPDs as tools in OP bioremediation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":486,"journal":{"name":"Biodegradation","volume":"36 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143622076","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}

It introduces hazardous pollutants, including pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and heavy metals, which pose serious health risks such as cancer, lung disorders, and kidney damage, threatening both environmental and human well-being. Using microorganisms for bioremediation is thought to be safer and more effective. Compared to other approaches, bioremediation is the most effective way to absorb heavy metals. Due to the high cost and unreliability of traditional remediation techniques, such as chemical and physical treatments, interest in bioremediation as an environmentally benign substitute has grown. Through the use of microorganisms, bioremediation successfully removes heavy metals and breaks down organic contaminants from contaminated circumstances. Actinobacteria are unique among these microbes because of their flexibility in metabolism and capacity to endure severe environments. They create secondary metabolites, such as enzymes, that help break down a variety of pollutants. Actinobacteria also produce siderophores and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which aid in trapping organic contaminants and immobilizing heavy metals. This review explores the diverse applications of actinobacteria in bioremediation, with a focus on their mechanisms for breaking down and neutralizing pollutants. We highlighted the advancements in bioremediation strategies, including the use of mixed microbial cultures, biosurfactants, nanoparticles and immobilized cell technologies which enhance the efficiency and sustainability of pollutant removal. The integration of omics technologies such as metagenomics, meta-transcriptomics, and meta-proteomics provides deeper insights into the genetic and metabolic pathways involved in bioremediation, suggesting the way for the development of genetically optimized strains with enhanced degradation capabilities. By leveraging these emerging technologies and microbial strategies, actinobacteria-mediated bioremediation presents a highly promising approach for mitigating environmental pollution. Ongoing research and technological advancements in this field can further enhance the scalability and applicability of bioremediation techniques, offering sustainable solutions for restoring contaminated ecosystems and protecting human health.</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 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143622075","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}
