Abstract
Selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te) contaminations in soils and water bodies have been widely reported in recent years. Se(IV) and Te(IV) were regarded as their most dangerous forms. Microbial treatments of Se(IV)- and Te(IV)-containing wastes are promising approaches because of their environmentally friendly and sustainable advantages. However, the salt-tolerant microbial resources that can be used for selenium/tellurium pollution control are still limited since industrial wastewaters usually contain a large number of salts. In this study, a marine Shewanella sp. FDA-1 (FDA-1) was reported for efficient Se(IV) and Te(IV) reduction under saline conditions. Process and product analyses were performed to investigate the bioreduction processes of Se(IV) and Te(IV). The results showed that FDA-1 can effectively reduce Se(IV) and Te(IV) to Se0 and Te0 Se(IV)/Te(IV) to Se0/Te0 in 72 h, which were further confirmed by XRD and XPS analyses. In addition, enzymatic and RT‒qPCR assays showed that flavin-related proteins, reductases, dehydrogenases, etc., could be involved in the bioreduction of Se(IV)/Te(IV). Overall, our results demonstrate the ability of FDA-1 to reduce high concentrations of Se(IV)/or Te(IV) to Se0/or Te0 under saline conditions and thus provide efficient microbial candidate for controlling Se and Te pollution.

World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 38:188. [PMID: 35972591 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-022-03374-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Selenium (SeNPs) and tellurium nanoparticles (TeNPs) were synthesized by green technology using the three new bacterial marine isolates (strains PL 2476, AF 2469 and G 2451). Isolates were classified as Pseudoalteromonas shioyasakiensis according to 16S rRNA sequence analysis, morphological characteristics, and biochemical reactions. The bioreduction processes of isolates were studied in comparison with the previously described Alteromonas macleodii (strain 2328). All strains exhibited significant tolerance to selenite and tellurite up to 1000 µg/mL. A comparative analysis of the bioreduction processes of the isolates demonstrated that the strains have a high rate of reduction processes. Characterization of biogenic red SeNPs and black TeNPs using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), EDX analysis, Dynamic Light Scattering, and micro-Raman Spectroscopy revealed that all the isolates form stable spherical selenium and tellurium nanoparticles whose size as well as elemental composition depend on the producer strain. Nanoparticles of the smallest size (up to 100 nm) were observed only for strain PL 2476. Biogenic SeNPs and TeNPs were also characterized and tested for their antimicrobial, antifouling and cytotoxic activities. Significant antimicrobial activity was shown for nanoparticles at relatively high concentrations (500 and 1000 µg/mL), with the antimicrobial activity of TeNPs being more significant than SeNPs. In contrast, against cell cultures (breast cancer cells (SkBr3) and human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) SeNPs showed greater toxicity than tellurium nanoparticles. Studies have demonstrated the high antifouling effectiveness of selenium and tellurium nanoparticles when introduced into self-polishing coatings. According to the results obtained, the use of SeNPs and TeNPs as antifouling additives can reduce the concentration of leachable biocides used in coatings, reducing the pressure on the environment.

Gago JF, Viver T, Urdiain M, Pastor S, Kämpfer P, Ferreira E, Rossello-Mora R. Description of three new Alteromonas species Alteromonas antoniana sp. nov., Alteromonas lipotrueae sp. nov. and Alteromonas lipotrueiana sp. nov. isolated from marine environments, and proposal for reclassification of the genus Salinimonas as Alteromonas. Syst Appl Microbiol 2021; 44:126226. [PMID: 34171620 DOI: 10.1016/j.syapm.2021.126226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
In the course of a bioprospective study of marine prokaryotes for cosmetic purposes, four strains, MD_567T, MD_652T, MD_674 and PS_109T, were isolated that 16S rRNA gene affiliation indicated could represent three new species within the family Alteromonadaceae. A thorough phylogenetic, genomic and phenotypic taxonomic study confirmed that the isolates could be classified as three new taxa for which we propose the names Alteromonas antoniana sp. nov., Alteromonas lipotrueae sp. nov. and Alteromonas lipotrueiana sp. nov. In addition, the consistent monophyletic nature of the members of the genera Alteromonas and Salinimonas showed that both taxa should be unified, and therefore we also propose the reclassification of the genus Salinimonas within Alteromonas, as well as new combinations for the species of the former. As the specific epithets profundi and sediminis are already used for Alteromonas species, we created the nomina nova "Alteromonas alteriprofundi" nom. nov. and Alteromonas alterisediminis nom. nov. to accommodate the new names for "Salinimonas profundi" and Salinimonas sediminis. Whole genome comparisons also allowed us to detect the unexpected codification of aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradative compounds, such as benzoate and catechol, whose activity was then demonstrated phenotypically. Finally, the high genomic identity between the type strains of Alteromonas stellipolaris and Alteromonas addita indicated that the latter is a junior heterotypic synonym of Alteromonas stellipolaris.
