One reactor was operated without any modification compared to the real landfarming plant. The other three reactors were operated with different strategies to improve the removal rate: biostimulation (BS) through the addition of nitrogen and phosphorus; bioaugmentation (BA) with the inoculation of sludge produced in the treatment of the process water from the oil re-fining plant of the same industrial area; combination of biostimulation and bioaugmentation (BAS). The biostimulation (BS) was the most effective strategy, leading to a reduction of the remediation time by 35% as compared to the traditional treatment. Bioaugmentation (BA) also provided positive effects leading to a reduction of the remediation time by 24%; its performance improved further when the addition of sludge was combined with the increase of phosphorous (BAS). Therefore, the key tool was represented by the phosphorous availability, whereas the application of sludge was most useful to provide waste with a new possibility of reuse, thus fulfilling the principles of the circular economy.

In Argentina, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is the most applied herbicide for the control of broadleaf weeds, but the risks it poses for the environment and human health are cause for great concern. A promising technology to remove this kind of pollutants, or neutralize them in such a way that they become less or non-toxic, is the use of degrading or detoxifying microorganisms from contaminated sites. Filamentous fungi can bioremediate xenobiotics thanks to their efficient enzymatic machinery. However, most studies on the degradation of 2,4-D have been carried out with bacteria, and little is known about whether it can be efficiently biodegraded by fungi. In the environment, fungal strains and native microbiota may detoxify contaminants through mechanisms like biosorption, bioabsortion, biotransformation, and/or degradation. Whether these processes occur separately or simultaneously depends on the metabolic ability of the strains that conform the microbial community. Another important concern when attempting to introduce detoxifying microorganisms into a contaminated environment is the GRAS (“Generally Recognized As Safe”) assessment or status. These are studies that help predict a biodegrading microorganism’s pathogenicity, toxicity<b>,</b> and infectivity before in situ application. This application, moreover, is regulated by different legal frameworks.
