Corymbia citriodora presents these characteristics that can be enhanced by humic substances (HS) from organic matter. The objective of the present study was to determine if HS extracted from vermicompost can modify the root system architecture, stimulate growth, increase robustness and relieve stress promoted by As in C. citriodora seedlings. Two preliminary tests were carried out to obtain the best concentration-response for HS and the toxic As concentration. Subsequently, an experiment was carried out in nursery pots with nutrient solution and four treatments: Control, HS, As and As + HS. HS alleviated the reduced growth caused by As with regards to dry mass, root collar diameter and height of the aerial part. The Dickson quality index (DQI) was reduced by the action of As and this negative affect was mitigated by HS. Our results show the positive effect of the HS in alleviating As abiotic stress in C. citriodora seedlings, demonstrating its potential to mitigate the toxicity of this chemical element.","PeriodicalId":8935,"journal":{"name":"Bioremediation Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"273 - 280"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41851915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

The mutagenesis in the active sites of these enzymes predicted the increasing and decreasing performance of the lignin-degrading enzymes. Ramachandran plot analysis of the Laccase and peroxidases determined the active conformation of the lignin-degrading enzymes. Phylogenetic study of the Laccase, lignin peroxidase, versatile peroxidase and manganese peroxidase suggested each of the enzymes belong to the separate protein cluster.

It is potentially toxic in nature and also acts as an anthropogenic source, so chromium ion is considered to be an environmental contaminant. The toxic effluents are generally treated in the process of remediation by using micro or macro-algae called “Phycoremediation” and it has shown effective cleanup approaches. The present study deals with the phycoremediation of chromium ion polluted effluent in Ambur tanneries. The isolated microalgae were collected from the estuary near the industrial site, which was observed for the preliminary metal tolerance activity then morphologically identified with the help of a compound microscope and they are named SMA1, SMA2, and SMA3. The taxonomical examination reveals that SMA1 is found to be 98.66% similar to Chlamydomonas moewusii, SMA2 was 99.24% similar to Scenedesmus sp., and SMA3 was 98.88% similar with Auxenochlorella pyrenoidosa. The identified microalgae were growing in the specific growth media BG11 and tannery effluent was supplemented along with the culture media to determine the growth rate, biomass production, and total protein content, which also regulates the potential bio-sorption and absorption rate of Cr(VI) ion. The activity of biosorption was seen to be 90% for C. moewusii (SMA1), 65% for Scenedesmus sp. (SMA2), and 80% for A. pyrenoidosa (SMA3), which showed the potential activity in phycoremediation process. Adsorption mechanism is studied by kinetic modeling of data experimentation which is bound with pseudo-first-order kinetics and pseudo-second-order kinetics; this mechanism exposed the adsorption capability of microalgae. The outcome of this study shows that the microalgae species are considered to be the most effective biosorbents for removing Cr(VI) ions from the tannery effluent.","PeriodicalId":8935,"journal":{"name":"Bioremediation Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"169 - 188"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42482820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

It exists in the various chemical forms at a particular site due to the various features such as pH, organic matter, concentration of cations and anions of the site. An excessive concentration of selenium has been reported in various regions of Punjab. The present research has explicated the mobility of selenium by indigenous bacterial strains isolated from seleniferous soil of Punjab, India. Physiochemical characterization of the soil sample indicated alkaline nature which in turns favors the existence and mobility of selenium oxyanions in the soil. A significant concentration of selenium (2.652 µg/g) has been reported in the soil sample. Total four bacterial strains were isolated from the soil based on their growth in selenium oxyanions supplemented medium. Bacterial isolate SGB-5 was explored for selenium sequestration and transformation studies on the basis of tolerance to selenium oxyanions especially selenate. ICP-MS analysis of biomass indicated significant sequestration of selenium (upto 70%) by the isolate SGB-5. X-ray diffraction spectrum of biomass associated selenium revealed the reduced and crystalline nature of selenium in the biomass. SEM-EDX analysis further confirmed the accumulation of nano-sized elemental selenium around the bacterial cells. Further SGB-5 strain was characterized and identified as Bacillus sp. using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.","PeriodicalId":8935,"journal":{"name":"Bioremediation Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46792608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Chlorimuron-ethyl has been widely used world-over, and strategies for its removal have attracted increasing attention. Microbial degradation is considered the most acceptable dissipation method. We obtained the best biodegradation conditions using response surface methodology. Through the cleavage of the sulfonylurea bridge, we proposed a metabolic route for chlorimuron-ethyl degradation. Under these conditions (pH 6, 30 °C), Irpex lacteus could degrade 72.40% of the initially supplemented 40 mg L−1 chlorimuron-ethyl within 7 days. The half-life of chlorimuron-ethyl after inoculation was fairly short (4.696 days). The biodegradation rate of chlorimuron-ethyl by Irpex lacteus was 56.1%, which was higher than that of Phlebia sp. (50.8%) and Funalia trogii (25.4%). The pH value has an impact on the free state of the substrate molecule and the dissociation state of the enzyme molecule. The biodegradation rate was the highest (58.5%) at a pH value of 6. When the temperature was 30 °C, 56.3% of chlorimuron-ethyl was eliminated. As the temperature increased, the biodegradation rate of chlorimuron-ethyl by white-rot fungi decreased. Based on the results of LC–MS analysis, a metabolic route for chlorimuron-ethyl biodegradation was proposed. The fragment at m/z 161 (2-amino-4-chloro-6-methoxypyrimidine) originates from the cleavage of the C-N bond of the sulfonylurea bridge, while generating ethyl 2-sulfamoyl benzoate. The fragment at m/z 202 (2-sulfamoyl benzoic acid) corresponds to the ethyl group lost from ethyl 2-sulfamoyl benzoate. Due to the different secreted enzymes, there was a gap between the three strains in the degradation efficiency of chlorimuron-ethyl. The degradation rate of the herbicide by Phlebia sp. was the highest (61.7%), while by Irpex lacteus was the lowest (42.7%). Three white-rot fungi could degrade chlorimuron-ethyl in malt extract. LC–MS analysis indicated that the cleavage of sulfonylurea bridge through Irpex lacteus mediated the degradation of chlorimuron-ethyl. And, inoculation with white-rot fungi enhanced chlorimuron-ethyl degradation in aseptic soil samples. This is the principal report revealing that white-rot fungi can evacuate sulfonylurea herbicides, demonstrating that white-rot fungi will give novel ideas into the biodegradation of herbicides.","PeriodicalId":8935,"journal":{"name":"Bioremediation Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"137 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43857914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Their morpho-biochemical and molecular (16S rRNA gene sequencing) characterization revealed that most of the bacteria belong to the members of the genus Bacillus, Lysinibacillus boronitolerens, and Alcaligenes faecalis.

In this study, products distribution of thiosulfate bio-oxidation with emphasis on S0 was investigated in shake flasks (SFs) and 1 L stirred bioreactor (SB) using an indigenous SOB consortium. Enrichment of original cells taken from Atashkoh soil resulted in complete oxidation of 3000 ppm thiosulfate and 14% S0 formation as compared to 45% oxidation of original cells. The agarose plate method was selected to preserve this enriched-consortium due to the retrieval of more sulfur (30% in SF). Oxidation of 3000 ppm thiosulfate in SB resulted in 35.2% S0 formation and noticeably a higher thiosulfate depletion rate of 1 compared to 0.2 mmol S L−1 h−1 in SF. Complete oxidation of higher levels of thiosulfate (4000–6000 ppm) was achieved in SB and S0 was reclaimed by a maximum of 40% at 6000 ppm thiosulfate. The dominant strain was isolated and identified by 16S rRNA as Ochrobactrum sp. PN1. Although thiosulfate oxidation by this isolate was quite similar to the consortium, S0 formation was higher (195 mg S L−1) by the consortium compared to the isolated strain (138 mg S L−1). Our enriched SOB consortium was therefore well capable of partial oxidation of thiosulfate into S0, a less polluting intermediate product with versatile applications.","PeriodicalId":8935,"journal":{"name":"Bioremediation Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"1 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49086856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
