Project description:Endophytic bacteria can promote plant growth, induce plant defence mechanisms, and increase plant resistance to organic contaminants. The aims of the present study were to isolate highly PAH-degrading endophytic bacteria from plants growing at PAH-contaminated sites and to evaluate the capabilities of these bacteria to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in vitro, which will be beneficial for re-colonizing target plants and reducing plant PAH residues through the inoculation of plants with endophytic bacteria. Two endophytic bacterial strains P₁ (Stenotrophomonas sp.) and P₃ (Pseudomonas sp.), which degraded more than 90% of phenanthrene (PHE) within 7 days, were isolated from Conyza canadensis and Trifolium pretense L., respectively. Both strains could use naphthalene (NAP), PHE, fluorene (FLR), pyrene (PYR), and benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) as the sole sources of carbon and energy. Moreover, these bacteria reduced the contamination of mixed PAHs at high levels after inoculation for 7 days; strain P₁ degraded 98.0% NAP, 83.1% FLR, 87.8% PHE, 14.4% PYR, and 1.6% B(a)P, and strain P₃ degraded 95.3% NAP, 87.9% FLR, 90.4% PHE, 6.9% PYR, and negligible B(a)P. Notably, the biodegradation of PAHs could be promoted through additional carbon and nitrogen nutrients; therein, beef extract was suggested as the optimal co-substrate for the degradation of PAHs by these two strains (99.1% PHE was degraded within 7 days). Compared with strain P₁, strain P₃ has more potential for the use in the removal of PAHs from plant tissues. These results provide a novel perspective in the reduction of plant PAH residues in PAH-contaminated sites through inoculating plants with highly PAH-degrading endophytic bacteria.

Project description:Polycyclic aromatic nitrogen heterocycles, or azaarenes, normally co-occur with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated soils. We recently reported that nontarget analysis using high resolution mass spectrometry of samples from four PAH-contaminated sites revealed a previously unrecognized diversity and abundance of azaarene isomers and their methylated derivatives. Here we evaluated their biodegradability by natural microbial communities from each site in aerobic microcosm incubations under biostimulated conditions. The removal of total quantifiable azaarenes ranged from 15 to 85%, and was related to the initial degree of weathering for each sample. While three-ring azaarenes were readily biodegradable, the five-ring congeners were the most recalcitrant. Microbial-mediated removal of four-ring congeners varied for different isomers, which might be attributed to the position of the nitrogen atom that also influences the physicochemical properties of azaarenes and possibly the susceptibility to transformation by relevant microbial enzymes. The presence of methyl groups also influenced azaarene biodegradability, which decreased with increasing degree of methylation. Several oxidation products of azaarenes were detected, including ketones and dioxygenated derivatives of three- and four-ring compounds. Our results indicate the susceptibility of some azaarenes to bioremediation, while suggesting the potential implications for risk from the persistence of less-biodegradable isomers and the formation of oxidized-azaarene derivatives.

Project description:Microbial degradation is a useful tool for inhibiting or preventing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) widely distributed in marine environment after oil spill accidents. This study aimed to evaluate the potential and diversity of bacteria Bacillus sp. PAH-2 on Benzo (a) anthracene (BaA), Pyrene (Pyr), and Benzo (a) pyrene (BaP), their composite system, aromatic components system, and crude oil. The seven-day degradation rates against BaA, Pyr, and BaP were 20.6%, 12.83%, and 17.49%, respectively. Further degradation study of aromatic components demonstrated PAH-2 had a high degradation rate of substances with poor stability of molecular structure. In addition, the degradation of PAHs in crude oil suggested PAH-2 not only made good use of PAHs in such a more complex structure of pollutants but the saturated hydrocarbons in the crude oil also showed a good application potential.

Project description:Two different procedures were compared to isolate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-utilizing bacteria from PAH-contaminated soil and sludge samples, i.e., (i) shaken enrichment cultures in liquid mineral medium in which PAHs were supplied as crystals and (ii) a new method in which PAH degraders were enriched on and recovered from hydrophobic membranes containing sorbed PAHs. Both techniques were successful, but selected from the same source different bacterial strains able to grow on PAHs as the sole source of carbon and energy. The liquid enrichment mainly selected for Sphingomonas spp., whereas the membrane method exclusively led to the selection of Mycobacterium spp. Furthermore, in separate membrane enrichment set-ups with different membrane types, three repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR-related Mycobacterium strains were recovered. The new Mycobacterium isolates were strongly hydrophobic and displayed the capacity to adhere strongly to different surfaces. One strain, Mycobacterium sp. LB501T, displayed an unusual combination of high adhesion efficiency and an extremely high negative charge. This strain may represent a new bacterial species as suggested by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. These results indicate that the provision of hydrophobic sorbents containing sorbed PAHs in the enrichment procedure discriminated in favor of certain bacterial characteristics. The new isolation method is appropriate to select for adherent PAH-degrading bacteria, which might be useful to biodegrade sorbed PAHs in soils and sludge.

Project description:A PAHs-contaminated industrial soil was analyzed using PCR amplification of the gene 16S ribosomal RNA for the detection and identification of different isolated bacterial strains potentially capable of degrading PAHs. Novel degrader strains were isolated and identified as Achromobacter xylosoxidans 2BC8 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia JR62, which were able to degrade PYR in solution, achieving a mineralization rate of about 1% day-1. A. xylosoxidans was also able to mineralize PYR in slurry systems using three selected soils, and the total extent of mineralization (once a plateau was reached) increased 4.5, 21, and 57.5% for soils LT, TM and CR, respectively, regarding the mineralization observed in the absence of the bacterial degrader. Soil TM contaminated with PYR was aged for 80 days and total extent of mineralization was reduced (from 46 to 35% after 180 days), and the acclimation period increased (from 49 to 79 days). Hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) was used as a bioavailability enhancer of PYR in this aged soil, provoking a significant decrease in the acclimation period (from 79 to 54 days) due to an increase in PYR bioavailable fraction just from the beginning of the assay. However, a similar global extension of mineralization was obtained. A. xylosoxidans was then added together with HPBCD to this aged TM soil contaminated with PYR, and the total extent of mineralization decreased to 25% after 180 days, possibly due to the competitive effect of endogenous microbiota and the higher concentration of PYR in the soil solution provoked by the addition of HPBCD, which could have a toxic effect on the A. xylosoxidans strain.

Project description:Biodegradation of cyromazine was investigated in liquid cultures using three melamine-degrading bacteria Arthrobacter sp. MCO, Arthrobacter sp. CSP and Nocardioides sp. ATD6. Experiments were performed aerobically in a mineral medium with glucose as a carbon source and cyromazine as the sole nitrogen source. All three strains of bacteria degraded cyromazine. Cyromazine at 23?mg/L completely disappeared by Arthrobacter sp. MCO within 7 days. The bacterial density of all three strains increased with degradation of the cyromazine. The cyromazine metabolite N-cyclopropylammeline was detected and identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). This is the first report on the use of Arthrobacter sp. and Nocardioides sp. for cyromazine degradation and the occurrence of bacterial growth with cyromazine degradation.

Project description:Bioremediation is a sustainable treatment strategy which remains challenging to implement especially in heterogeneous environments such as soil and sediment. Herein, we present a novel precision bioremediation framework that integrates amplicon based metagenomic analysis and chemical profiling. We applied this approach to samples obtained at a site contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Geobacter spp. were identified as biostimulation targets because they were one of the most abundant genera and previously identified to carry relevant degradative genes. Mycobacterium and Sphingomonads spp. were identified as bioaugmentation and genetic bioaugmentation targets, respectively, due to their positive associations with PAHs and their high abundance and species diversity at all sampling locations. Overall, this case study suggests this framework can help identify bacterial targets for precision bioremediation. However, it is imperative that we continue to build our databases as the power of metagenomic based approaches remains limited to microorganisms currently in our databases.
