Characteristics of biological manganese oxides produced by manganese-oxidizing bacteria H38 and its removal mechanism of oxytetracycline. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 345:123432. [PMID: 38272171 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
Oxytetracycline (OTC) is widely used in clinical medicine and animal husbandry. Residual OTC can affect the normal life activities of microorganisms, animals, and plants and affect human health. Microbial remediation has become a research hotspot in the environmental field. Manganese oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) exist in nature, and the biological manganese oxides (BMO) produced by them have the characteristics of high efficiency, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, the effect and mechanism of BMO in removing OTC are still unclear. In this study, Bacillus thuringiensis strain H38 of MnOB was obtained, and the conditions for its BMO production were optimized. The optimal conditions were determined as follows: optimal temperature = 35 °C, optimal pH = 7.5, optimal Mn(Ⅱ) initial concentration = 10 mmol/L. The results show that BMO are irregular or massive, mainly containing MnCO3, Mn2O3, and MnO2, with rich functional groups and chemical bonds. They have the characteristics of small particle size and large specific surface area. OTC (2.5 mg/L) was removed when the BMO dosage was 75 μmol/L and the solution pH was 5.0. The removal ratio was close to 100 % after 12 h of culture at 35 °C and 150 r/min. BMO can adsorb and catalyze the oxidation of OTC and can produce ·O2-, ·OH, 1O2, and Mn(Ⅲ) intermediate. Fifteen products and degradation pathways were identified, and the toxicity of most intermediates is reduced compared to OTC. The removal mechanism was preliminarily clarified. The results of this study are convenient for the practical application of BMO in OTC pollution in water and for solving the harm caused by antibiotic pollution.

Abstract
Manganese oxides (MnOx) are recognized as a strongest oxidant and adsorbent, of which composites have been proved to be effective in the removal of contaminants from wastewater. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of Mn biochemistry in water environment including Mn oxidation and Mn reduction. The recent research on the application of MnOx in the wastewater treatment was summarized, including the involvement of organic micropollutant degradation, the transformation of nitrogen and phosphorus, the fate of sulfur and the methane mitigation. In addition to the adsorption capacity, the Mn cycling mediated by Mn(II) oxidizing bacteria and Mn(IV) reducing bacteria is the driving force for the MnOx utilization. The common category, characteristics and functions of Mn microorganisms in recent studies were also reviewed. Finally, the discussion on the influence factors, microbial response, reaction mechanism and potential risk of MnOx application in pollutants' transformation were proposed, which might be the promising opportunities for the future investigation of MnOx application in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Bioaugmented sand filtration has attracted considerable attention because it can effectively remove contaminants in drinking water without additional chemical reagent addition. In this study, a synthesized chemical manganese dioxide (MnO2)-coated quartz sand (MnQS) and biogenic manganese oxide (BioMnOx) composite system was proposed to simultaneously remove typical pharmaceutical contaminants and Mn2+. We demonstrated a manganese-oxidizing bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. QJX-1, could oxidize Mn2+ to generate BioMnOx using humic acids (HA) as sole carbon source. The coaction of MnQS, QJX-1, and the generated BioMnOx in simultaneously removing caffeine and Mn2+ in the presence of HA was evaluated. We found a synergistic effect between them. MnQS and BioMnOx together significantly increased the caffeine removal efficiency from 32.8% (MnQS alone) and 21.5% (BioMnOx alone) to 61.2%. Meanwhile, Mn2+ leaked from MnQS was rapidly oxidized by QJX-1 to regenerate reactive BioMnOx, which was beneficial for continuous contaminant removal and system stability. Different degradation intermediates of caffeine oxidized by MnQS and BioMnOx were detected by LC-QTOF-MS analysis, which implied that caffeine was oxidized by a different pathway. Overall, this work promotes the potential application of bioaugmented sand filtration in pharmaceutical removal in the presence of natural organic matter in drinking water.

Abstract
Water pollutants, such as nitrate and organics have received much attention for their harms to ecological environment and human health. The redox transformation between Mn(Ⅱ) and Mn(Ⅳ) for nitrogen and organics removal have been recognized for a long time. Mn(Ⅱ) can act as inorganic electron donor to drive autotrophic denitrification so as to realize simultaneous removal of Mn(Ⅱ), nitrate and organic pollutants. Mn oxides (MnOx) also play an important role in the adsorption and degradation of some organic contaminants and they can change or create new oxidation pathways in the nitrogen cycle. Herein, this paper provides a comprehensive review of nitrogen and organic contaminants removal pathways through applying Mn(Ⅱ) or MnOx as forerunners. The main current knowledge, developments and applications, pollutants removal efficiency, as well as microbiology and biochemistry mechanisms are summarized. Also reviewed the effects of factors such as the carbon source, the environmental factors and operation conditions have on the process. Research gaps and application potential are further proposed and discussed. Overall, Mn-based biotechnology towards advanced wastewater treatment has a promising prospect, which can achieve simultaneous removal of nitrogen and organic contaminants, and minimize sludge production.

Abstract
Groundwater serving as a drinking water resource usually contains manganese ions (Mn2+) that exceed drinking standards. Based on the Mn biogeochemical cycle at the hydrosphere scale, bioprocesses consisting of aeration, biofiltration, and disinfection are well known as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly ecotechnology for removing Mn2+. The design of aeration and biofiltration units, which are critical components, is significantly influenced by coexisting iron and ammonia in groundwater; however, there is no unified standard for optimizing bioprocess operation. In addition to the groundwater purification, it was also found that manganese-oxidizing bacteria (MnOB)-derived biogenic Mn oxides (bioMnOx), a by-product, have a low crystallinity and a relatively high specific surface area; the MnOB supplied with Mn2+ can be developed for contaminated water remediation. As a result, according to previous studies, this paper summarized and provided operational suggestions for the removal of Mn2+ from groundwater. This review also anticipated challenges and future concerns, as well as opportunities for bioMnOx applications. These could improve our understanding of the MnOB group and its practical applications.

Abstract
The application of bio-manganese (Mn) redox cycling for continuous removal of contaminants provides promise for addressing coexisting contaminants in groundwater, however, the feasibility of constructing Mn redox cycling system (MCS) through community assembly remains to be elucidated. In this study, Mn-reducing strain MFG10 and Mn-oxidizing strain MFQ7 synergistically removed 94.67 % of 17β-estradiol (E2) within 12 h. Analysis of potential variations in Mn oxides suggested that MCS accelerated the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Mn(III), which interacted to promote E2 removal. After continuous operation of the Mn ore-based immobilized bioreactor for 270 days, the experimental group (EG) achieved average removal efficiencies of 89.63 % and 97.57 % for NO3--N and E2, respectively. High-throughput sequencing results revealed complex symbiotic relationships in EG. Community assembly significantly enhanced the metabolic and physiological activity of the bioreactor, which promoting the expression of core functions including nitrogen metabolism, Mn cycling and organic matter resistance.

Abstract
Doxycycline hydrochloride (DCH) could be continuously removed by Bacillus thuringiensis S622 with the in-situ biogenic manganese oxide (BioMnOx) via oxidizing/regenerating. The DCH removal rate was significantly increased by 3.01-fold/1.47-fold at high/low Mn loaded via the integration of biological (intracellular/extracellular electron transfer (IET/EET)) and abiotic process (BioMnOx, Mn(III) and •OH). BioMnOx accelerated IET via activating coenzyme Q to enhance electrons transfer (ET) from complex I to complex III, and as an alternative electron acceptor for respiration and provide another electron transfer transmission channel. Additionally, EET was also accelerated by stimulating to secrete flavins, cytochrome c (c-Cyt) and flavin bounded with c-Cyt (Flavins & Cyts). To our best knowledge, this is the first report about the role of BioMnOx on IET/EET during antibiotic biodegradation. These results suggested that Bacillus thuringiensis S622 incorporated with BioMnOx could adopt an alternative strategy to enhance DCH degradation, which may be of biogeochemical and technological significance.

Combined Process of Biogenic Manganese Oxide and Manganese-Oxidizing Microalgae for Improved Diclofenac Removal Performance: Two Different Kinds of Synergistic Effects. TOXICS 2022; 10:toxics10050230.

Abstract
Biogenic manganese oxides (Bio-MnOx) have attracted considerable attention for removing pharmaceutical contaminants (PhCs) due to their high oxidation capacity and environmental friendliness. Mn-oxidizing microalgae (MnOMs) generate Bio-MnOx with low energy and organic nutrients input and degrade PhCs. The combined process of MnOMs and Bio-MnOx exhibits good prospects for PhCs removal. However, the synergistic effects of MnOMs and Bio-MnOx in PhCs removal are still unclear. The performance of MnOMs/Bio-MnOx towards diclofenac (DCF) removal was evaluated, and the mechanism was revealed. Our results showed that the Bio-MnOx produced by MnOMs were amorphous nanoparticles, and these MnOMs have a good Mn2+ tolerance and oxidation efficiency (80–90%) when the Mn2+ concentration is below 1.00 mmol/L. MnOMs/Bio-MnOx significantly promotes DCF (1 mg/L) removal rate between 0.167 ± 0.008 mg/L·d (by MnOMs alone) and 0.125 ± 0.024 mg/L·d (by Bio-MnOx alone) to 0.250 ± 0.016 mg/L·d. The superior performance of MnOMs/Bio-MnOx could be attributed to the continuous Bio-MnOx regeneration and the sharing of DCF degradation intermediates between Bio-MnOx and MnOMs. Additionally, the pathways of DCF degradation by Bio-MnOx and MnOMs were proposed. This work could shed light on the synergistic effects of MnOMs and Bio-MnOx in PhCs removal and guide the development of MnOMs/Bio-MnOx processes for removing DCF or other PhCs from wastewater.

Abstract
Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) cannot remove organic micropollutants efficiently, and thus various polishing processes are increasingly being studied. One such potential process is utilising biogenic manganese oxides (BioMnOx). The present study operated two moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs) with synthetic sewage as feed, one reactor feed was spiked with Mn(II) which allowed the continuous formation of BioMnOx by Mn-oxidising bacteria in the suspended biofilms (i.e. BioMn-MBBR). Spiking experiments with 14 micropollutants were conducted to investigate if BioMnOx combined with MBBR could be utilised to polish micropollutants in wastewater treatment. Results show enhanced removal by BioMn-MBBR over control MBBR (without BioMnOx) for specific micropollutants, such as diclofenac (36% vs. 5%) and sulfamethoxazole (80% vs. 24%). However, diclofenac removal was significantly inhibited when municipal wastewater was fed, and a further batch experiment demonstrates the reduced removal of diclofenac could be due to (unusual) higher pH in municipal wastewater compared to synthetic sewage. A shift in bacterial community was also observe in BioMn-MBBR over long-term operation. Overall, BioMn-MBBR in this study shows great potential for practical application in removing a larger range of micropollutants, which could be applied as an efficient polishing step for typical municipal wastewater.

Abstract
The technologies for groundwater nitrate pollution treatment have drawn increasing global attention. As for autotrophic denitrification (AD), most researches aimed to the mixed microbial culture bioreactors, the mechanism of AD by purely cultured bacteria has not been fully investigated yet. Here, denitrification ability, bacterial activity, and dissolved organic matter evolution of Cupriavidus sp. HY129 in both AD and heterotrophic denitrification (HD) were studied. Genomic analysis and microbial metabolomic analysis were applied to explore the mechanism of AD and the difference and intrinsic factors in AD and HD. The results revealed that HD resulted in higher denitrification efficiency and biomass compared to AD and the bacteria preferred to synthesize humic-like proteins to maintain the progress of AD. Bacteria carry out Mn oxidation outside the bacteria cell and transfer electrons into the cell for AD. Cupriavidus sp. HY129 genome has critical metabolic pathways in both autotrophic and heterotrophic conditions, as well as the MCO gene for mediating the Mn oxidation. Energy metabolism pathways were the most significantly differences between AD and HD. Moreover, sphingolipid metabolism and mineral absorption metabolism were the most essential pathways in the autotrophic process to maintain the normal physiological activities and Mn transfer. The results explored the differences between AD and HD pathways in the same bacteria for the first time and provided new insight into understanding the metabolic characteristics of different denitrification, which provide useful information to the global nitrogen cycle and nitrate pollution treatment.

Abstract
Due to their unique characteristics, nanomaterials are widely used in many applications including water treatment. They are usually synthesized via physiochemical methods mostly involving toxic chemicals and extreme conditions. Recently, the biogenic metal nanoparticles (Bio-Me-NPs) with microbes have triggered extensive exploration. Besides their environmental-friendly raw materials and ambient biosynthesis conditions, Bio-Me-NPs also exhibit the unique surface properties and crystalline structures, which could eliminate various contaminants from water. Recent findings in the synthesis, morphology, composition, and structure of Bio-Me-NPs have been reviewed here, with an emphasis on the metal elements of Fe, Mn, Pd, Au, and Ag and their composites which are synthesized by bacteria, fungi, and algae. Furthermore, the mechanisms of eliminating organic and inorganic contaminants with Bio-Me-NPs are elucidated in detail, including adsorption, oxidation, reduction, and catalysis. The scale-up applicability of Bio-Me-NPs is also discussed.

Abstract
A Mn(II) oxidizing-denitrifying and tetracycline (TC) removal bacterium Zoogloea sp. MFQ7 was isolated in this study. Nitrogen removal was 83.49% by nitrogen balance experiment. The maximum removal efficiencies of nitrate, Mn(II), and TC by strain MFQ7 within 96 h was 100.00, 74.56, and 63.59% at C/N of 2.0, pH of 7.0, Mn(II) of 20 mg L-1, temperature of 30.0 °C, and TC of 0.2 mg L-1. SEM illustrated that biogenic manganese oxides (BMO) was petal-like, XRD and XPS analyses confirmed that MnO2 was the main component of BMO. Besides, the maximum adsorption capacity of BMO for TC was 52.21 mg g-1. FTIR detected the changes in TC adsorption by BMO. Pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.994) explained the adsorption kinetics of TC on BMO and Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.983) suggested that it was homogeneous adsorption, thermodynamics data (ΔG < 0, ΔH = 18.31 kJ mol-1, ΔS = 72.8 J (mol*K)-1) confirmed that adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous.

Abstract
Recently, Mn oxides (MnOxs) have been attracting considerable interest in the oxidation of organic pollutants. However, the reduction of MnOx in these reactions leads to the deactivation of the catalyst, which must be frequently regenerated. We evaluated the application of a manganese-oxidizing bacterium (MOB) and MnOx in removing toxic dyes. We studied the co-function of a plant-endophytic MOB, Pantoea eucrina SS01, with its bio-generated MnOx and evaluated the detoxification activity and chemical transformation mechanisms of the complex in malachite green (MG) degradation. We found a synergistic effect between MnOx and the strain. Particularly, strain SS01 could adsorb MG but could not degrade it, whereas the addition of Mn(II) promoted MG degradation by the formation of a complex containing the bacterium and MnOx aggregates (SS01-bio-MnOx), with distinct morphology characteristics. The complex showed a marked sustainability in the degradation of MG into less toxic or non-toxic metabolites. In this process, strain SS01 might have enhanced the regeneration of MnOx, accelerating MG degradation. Our data not only contribute to understanding the mechanism of MG removal by the SS01-bio-MnOx complex, but also provide a scientific basis for the future application of MOB and MnOx.

Abstract
Little information is known about the relationships of in-situ generated BioMnOx and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. In this study, a novel efficient bioremediation technology was presented for simultaneous remove the nitrogen-N, SMX, and Mn(II) from water. Mn(II) can be completely oxidized with a oxidized rate of 0.071 mg/(L·h), the SMX and nitrogen-N removal ratios were 97.43% and 85.61%, respectively. The Ratkowsky kinetic models were established for described the SMX degradation influence by temperature. Furthermore, the microbial degradation, Mn(III) trapping, and intermediates identified experiments were used to explore the mechanisms of SMX and nitrogen-N removal. These results indicated that microbial activity play a decisive role in SMX and nitrogen-N removal, and the catalytic character of sediment could enhanced the SMX degradation. Furthermore, proposed the possible SMX degradation pathway based on the intermediates and microbial metabolism theory, the environmental toxicity of SMX and each intermediates were calculated via ECOSAR program.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics like ofloxacin (OFL) have been frequently detected in the aquatic environment. Recently manganese-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) have attracted research efforts on the degradation of recalcitrant pollutants with the aid of their biogenic manganese oxides (BioMnOx). Herein, the degradation of OFL with a strain of MOB (Pseudomonas sp. F2) was investigated for the first time. It was found that the bacteria can degrade up to 100% of 5 μg/L OFL. BioMnOx and Mn(III) intermediates significantly contributed to the degradation. Moreover, the degradation was clearly declined when the microbial activity was inactivated by heat or ethanol, indicating the importance of bioactivity. Possible transformation products of OFL were identified by HPLC-MS and the degradation pathway was proposed. In addition, the toxicity of OFL was reduced by 66% after the degradation.

Abstract
The release of Mn(II) occurs in the degradation of organic matters by manganese ore (MnO2), resulting in a reduced efficiency. During the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP), in a biofilter, this paper put forward a novel method that similar to the geo-cycle of Mn (MnCS) on the Earth to regenerate MnO2. The freshly prepared MnO2 was suitable for the use in the MnCS. It indicated that the mutual conversion between Mn(II), Mn(III), and Mn(IV) in the MnCS, which was driven by CIP and manganese oxidizing bacteria (MnOB), could maintain the activity of MnO2. The MnCS showed feasibility in the coexistence of ammonia or humic acid, and provided a kinetic degradation. The physicochemical features of MnO2 before and after bio-regeneration were characterized by TEM, XRD, BET, and XPS. It was found that the morphological structure of MnO2 became loose and the maximum peak of pore size distribution became smaller, but the increase of surface area, the change of Mn(III/IV) content, and the decrease of crystallinity favored the bio-regeneration process. Moreover, as a mediator in the MnCS, the group of MnOB was dramatically inhibited by CIP, and the bacterial community had changed significantly. The typical MnOB shared low abundance in the biofilter, while the rarely reported genera (e.g. Sphingomonas) that related to the formation of Mn deposits appeared to be involved in the MnCS.

Abstract
In groundwater, deep soil layer, sediment, the widespread of xenobiotic organic contaminants (XOCs) have been leading to the concern of human health and eco-environment safety, which calls for a better understanding on the fate and remediation of XOCs in anoxic matrices. In the absence of oxygen, bacteria utilize various oxidized substances, e.g. nitrate, sulphate, metallic (hydr)oxides, humic substance, as terminal electron acceptors (TEAs) to fuel anaerobic XOCs degradation. Although there have been increasing anaerobic biodegradation studies focusing on species identification, degrading pathways, community dynamics, systematic reviews on the underlying mechanism of anaerobic contaminants removal from the perspective of electron flow are limited. In this review, we provide the insight on anaerobic biodegradation from electrons aspect - electron production, transport, and consumption. The mechanism of the coupling between TEAs reduction and pollutants degradation is deconstructed in the level of community, pure culture, and cellular biochemistry. Hereby, relevant strategies to promote anaerobic biodegradation are proposed for guiding to an efficient XOCs bioremediation.

Abstract
This study proposes a biofilm process to immobilize biogenic manganese oxide (BMO) and Pseudomonas putida MnB1 (BMO-MnB1), which shows excellent synergistic effects for 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) from secondary wastewater treatment effluent (WWTE). Modified granular activated carbon (M-GAC) was used as the packing carrier, inoculated with Pseudomonas putida MnB1 and Mn(II) to form the BMO-MnB1 biofilm. Feasibility tests were performed to compare the EE2 removal efficiency with that of the conventional biofilm process (BAC) for heterogeneous microbial communities. Results show that in the BAC, EE2 was removed mainly by adsorption, with biodegradation contributing only slightly to the overall performance. In contrast, the BMO-MnB1 biofilter outperformed the BAC. Furthermore, less than 4% of the total EE2 removed was extracted from the biofilter medium over 150 days of operation, confirming that EE2 was biodegraded by P. putida MnB1 or chemically oxidized by BMO. Our results suggest that BMO-MnB1 biofilm processes have high potential for practical applications in removal of endocrine disrupting compounds from wastewater effluent.

Abstract
Phenolic wastewater containing phenol and 4-chlorophenol pose a risk to the environment and to human health. Treating them using chemical-biological coupling method is challenging. In this study, manganese oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) were enriched in moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) using synthetic phenol wastewater (800 mg L-1) to facilitate in situ production of biogenic manganese oxides (BioMnOx) after 90 days of operation. Then, 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) was added to the MBBR to simulate mixed phenolic wastewater. Comparing the MBBR (R1) without feeding Mn(II) and the MBBR with BioMnOx (R2) production, R2 exhibited robust phenol and 4-CP removal performance. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was employed to determine the microbial community. Subsequently, a batch experiment demonstrated that partly purified BioMnOx does not exhibits a capacity for phenol removal, but can efficiently remove 4-CP. Interestingly, 5-chloro-2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde was found in the products of 4-CP degradation, which was the unique product of 4-CP degradation by catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O). In both reactors, only catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (C12O) activity from microbes can be detected, indicating that the existence of BioMnOx provide an alternative pathway in addition to microbe driven 4-CP degradation. Overall, MBBR based MnOB enrichment under high phenol concentration was achieved, and 4-CP/phenol removal can be accelerated by in situ-formed BioMnOx. Considering the C23O-like activity of BioMnOx, our results suggest a new coupling strategy that involves nanomaterials and a microbial consortium.

Abstract
The antibiotic tiamulin (TIA) is common and widely used medication for dysentery eradication in swine productions. Tiamulin persists in livestock manure, and its residues have been found in various environment. This work obtained four tiamulin-degrading enriched bacterial consortia from a covered anaerobic lagoon system and a stabilized pond system of swine farms. Tiamulin was efficiently removed by the enriched cultures at the concentrations between 2.5 and 200 mg/L, with a removal of 60.1-99.9% during 16 h and a degradation half-life of 4.5-15.7 h. The stabilized pond system cultured with taimulin solely could eliminate tiamulin at the highest rates. The logistic substrate degradation model fit most of the experimental data. Next-generation amplicon sequencing was conducted, and it was found that the bacterial community was significantly impacted by the inoculum source, nutrient addition, and high tiamulin concentrations. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) indicated the similarity of bacterial communities in the original enriched samples and the 2.5 mg/L tiamulin-removed cultures. The 200 mg/L consortia were rather different and became similar to the other 200 mg/L consortia from different sources and cultures without nutrient supplementation. Shannon and Simpson indices suggested a reduction in bacterial diversity at high concentrations. The microbes that had high growth in the most efficient enriched culture, or which were abundant in all samples, or which increased with higher tiamulin concentrations were likely to be the major tiamulin-degrading bacteria. This is the first report suggested the possible roles of Achromobacter, Delftia, Flavobacterium, Pseudomonas, and Stenotrophomonas in tiamulin degradation.
