Draft genome sequence of Pelosinus fermentans JBW45, isolated during in situ stimulation for Cr(VI) reduction.

ABSTRACT: Pelosinus fermentans JBW45 is an anaerobic, lactate-fermenting bacterium isolated from Cr(VI)-contaminated groundwater at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation 100-H site (Washington) that was collected after stimulation with a polylactate compound. The genome sequence of this organism will provide insight into the metabolic potential of a predominant population during stimulation for metal-reducing conditions.

Efficient Reduction of Cr(VI) with Carbon Quantum Dots.

Project description:Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) pollution is a global problem, and the reduction of highly toxic Cr(VI) to less toxic Cr(III) is considered to be an effective method to address Cr(VI) pollution. In this study, low-toxicity carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were used to reduce Cr(VI) in wastewater. The results show that CQDs can directly reduce Cr(VI) at pH 2 and can achieve a reduction efficiency of 94% within 120 min. It is observed that under pH higher than 2, CQDs can activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) for the reduction of Cr(VI) and the reduction efficiency can reach 99% within 120 min even under neutral conditions. The investigation of the mechanism shows that the hydroxyl groups on the surface of CQDs can be directly oxidized by Cr(VI) because of the higher redox potential of Cr(VI) at pH 2. As the pH increases, the carbonyl groups on the surface of CQDs can activate PMS to generate ROS, O2 •-, and 1O2, which result in Cr(VI) being reduced. To facilitate the practical application of CQDs, the treatment of Cr(VI) in real water samples by CQDs was simulated and the method reduced Cr(VI) from an initial concentration of 5 mg/L to only 8 μg/L in 150 min, which is below the California water quality standard of 10 μg/L. The study provides a new method for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater and a theoretical basis for practical application.

Complete Genome Sequence of Pelosinus fermentans JBW45, a Member of a Remarkably Competitive Group of Negativicutes in the Firmicutes Phylum.

Project description:The genome of Pelosinus fermentans JBW45, isolated from a chromium-contaminated site in Hanford, Washington, USA, has been completed with PacBio sequencing. Nine copies of the rRNA gene operon and multiple transposase genes with identical sequences resulted in breaks in the original draft genome and may suggest genomic instability of JBW45.

Thioredoxin is involved in U(VI) and Cr(VI) reduction in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20.

Project description:A transposon insertion mutant has been identified in a Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20 mutant library that does not grow in the presence of 2 mM U(VI) in lactate-sulfate medium. This mutant has also been shown to be deficient in the ability to grow with 100 microM Cr(VI) and 20 mM As(V). Experiments with washed cells showed that this mutant had lost the ability to reduce U(VI) or Cr(VI), providing an explanation for the lower tolerance. A gene encoding a cyclic AMP (cAMP) receptor protein (CRP) was identified as the site of the transposon insertion. The remainder of the mre operon (metal reduction) contains genes encoding a thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, and an additional oxidoreductase whose substrate has not been predicted. Expression studies showed that in the mutant, the entire operon is downregulated, suggesting that the CRP may be involved in regulating expression of the whole operon. Exposure of the cells to U(VI) resulted in upregulation of the entire operon. CdCl(2), a specific inhibitor of thioredoxin activity, inhibits U(VI) reduction by washed cells and inhibits growth of cells in culture when U(VI) is present, confirming a role for thioredoxin in U(VI) reduction. The entire mre operon was cloned into Escherichia coli JM109 and the transformant developed increased U(VI) resistance and the ability to reduce U(VI) to U(IV). The oxidoreductase protein (MreG) from this operon was expressed and purified from E. coli. In the presence of thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, and NADPH, this protein was shown to reduce both U(VI) and Cr(VI), providing a mechanism for the cytoplasmic reduction of these metals.

Pyrite-Based Cr(VI) Reduction Driven by Chemoautotrophic Acidophilic Bacteria.

Project description:Cr(VI) is considered as a priority pollutant, and its remediation has attracted increasing attention in the environmental area. In this study, the driving of pyrite-based Cr(VI) reduction by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was systematically investigated. The results showed that pyrite-based Cr(VI) reduction was a highly proton-dependent process and that pH influenced the biological activity. The passivation effect became more significant with an increase in pH, and there was a decrease in Cr(VI) reduction efficiency. However, Cr(VI) reduction efficiency was enhanced by inoculation with A. ferrooxidans. The highest reduction efficiency was achieved in the biological system with a pH range of 1-1.5. Pyrite dissolution and reactive site regeneration were promoted by A. ferrooxidans, which resulted in the enhanced effect in Cr(VI) reduction. The low linear relevancy between pH and Cr(VI) dosage in the biological system indicated a complex interaction between bacteria and pyrite. Secondary iron mineral formation in an unfavorable pH environment inhibited pyrite dissolution, but the passivation effect was relieved under the activity of A. ferrooxidans due to S/Fe oxidization. The balance between Cr(VI) reduction and biological activity was critical for sustainable Cr(VI) reduction. Pyrite-based Cr(VI) remediation driven by chemoautotrophic acidophilic bacteria is shown to be an economical and efficient method of Cr(VI) reduction.
