Bacillus firmus strain FSS2C ameliorated oxidative stress in wheat plants induced by azo dye (reactive black-5).

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine the ability of a bacterial strain FSS2C to ameliorate growth of wheat plants grown under induced stress of reactive black-5 (RB-5). The strain was taxonomically identified as Bacillus firmus on the basis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The B. firmus FSS2C was found physiologically potent in phosphate solubilization, indole-3-acetic acid production and ammonia synthesis in the presence of varying concentrations of azo dye RB-5. Moreover, it decolorized RB-5 in vitro with the maximum decolorization (%) found at pH 7 and 30 °C. Inoculation of wheat plants, growing under stress induced by RB-5 dye, with rifampicin-resistant derivatives of the strain FSS2C substantially reduced the cellular oxidative stress, thereby resulting in higher plant biomass as compared to non-inoculated plants. Similarly, the inoculated plants revealed higher nutrient content in shoots as compared to non-inoculated ones. It was concluded that B. firmus strain FSS2C alleviated the oxidative stress impairment caused by reactive black-5 in wheat plants. Therefore, the strain can be used as bio-inoculant in wastewater irrigated soils.

Project description:Textile dyes are one of the major water pollutants released into water in various ways, posing serious hazards for both aquatic organisms and human beings. Bioremediation is a significantly promising technique for dye decolorization. In the present study, the fungal strain Lasiodiplodia sp. was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Schizophyllum for the first time. The isolated fungal strain was examined for laccase enzyme production under solid-state fermentation conditions with wheat bran (WB) using ABTS and 2,6-Dimethoxyphenol (DMP) as substrates, then the fermented wheat bran (FWB) was evaluated as a biosorbent for Congo red dye adsorption from aqueous solutions in comparison with unfermented wheat bran. A Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the dye removal by FWB and to analyze the interaction effects between three factors: fermentation duration, pH, and dye concentration. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to study the changes in the physical and chemical characteristics of wheat bran before and after fermentation. An additional experiment was conducted to investigate the ability of the Lasiodiplodia sp. YZH1 to remove Congo red in the dye-containing liquid culture. The results showed that laccase was produced throughout the cultivation, reaching peak activities of ∼6.2 and 22.3 U/mL for ABTS and DMP, respectively, on the fourth day of cultivation. FWB removed 89.8% of the dye (100 mg L-1) from the aqueous solution after 12 h of contact, whereas WB removed only 77.5%. Based on the Box-Behnken design results, FWB achieved 93.08% dye removal percentage under the conditions of 6 days of fermentation, pH 8.5, and 150 mg L-1 of the dye concentration after 24 h. The fungal strain removed 95.3% of 150 mg L-1 of the dye concentration after 8 days of inoculation in the dye-containing liquid culture. These findings indicate that this strain is a worthy candidate for dye removal from environmental effluents.
