Abstract
The acephate-degrading microbes that are currently available are not optimal. In this study, Burkholderia sp. A11, an efficient degrader of acephate, presented an acephate-removal efficiency of 83.36% within 56 h (100 mg·L-1). The A11 strain has a broad substrate tolerance and presents a good removal effect in the concentration range 10-1600 mg·L-1. Six metabolites from the degradation of acephate were identified, among which the main products were methamidophos, acetamide, acetic acid, methanethiol, and dimethyl disulfide. The main degradation pathways involved include amide bond breaking and phosphate bond hydrolysis. Moreover, strain A11 successfully colonized and substantially accelerated acephate degradation in different soils, degrading over 90% of acephate (50-200 mg·kg-1) within 120 h. 16S rDNA sequencing results further confirmed that the strain A11 gradually occupied a dominant position in the soil microbial communities, causing slight changes in the diversity and composition of the indigenous soil microbial community structure.

Saedi Y, Batista JR, Britto R, Grady D. Impacts of co-contaminants and dilution on perchlorate biodegradation using various carbon sources. Biodegradation 2023; 34:301-323.

Abstract
This research investigates the biodegradation of perchlorate in the presence of the co-contaminants nitrate and chlorate using soluble and slow-release carbon sources. In addition, the impact of bio-augmentation and dilution, which results in lower total dissolved salts (TDS) and contaminant levels, is examined. Laboratory microcosms were conducted using actual groundwater and soils from a contaminated aquifer. The results revealed that both soluble and slow-release carbon sources support biodegradation of contaminants in the sequence nitrate > chlorate > perchlorate. Degradation rates, including and excluding lag times, revealed that the overall impact of the presence of co-contaminants depends on degradation kinetics and the relative concentrations of the contaminants. When the lag time caused by the presence of the co-contaminants is considered, the degradation rates for chlorate and perchlorate were two to three times slower. The results also show that dilution causes lower initial contaminant concentrations, and consequently, slower degradation rates, which is not desirable. On the other hand, the dilution resulting from the injection of amendments to support remediation promotes desirably lower salinity levels. However, the salinity associated with the presence of sulfate does not inhibit biodegradation. The naturally occurring bacteria were able to support the degradation of all contaminants. Bio-augmentation was effective only in diluted microcosms. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the dominant phyla identified in the microcosms.

Abstract
In the present study, a novel oxidant (sodium dichloroisocyanurate, NaCl2(NCO)3; SDIC) combined with microorganisms was employed to achieve a higher performance of waste-activated sludge (WAS) anaerobic fermentation. Four concentrations of SDIC (0, 0.3, 0.6, and 1.0 mg SDIC/mg SS) were studied in WAS fermentation systems. The results showed that the release of proteins and polysaccharides was enhanced by the addition of SDIC with values of 1002.25 mg COD/L and 680.25 mg COD/L, respectively, and these values increased 14.46-18.07 times (proteins) and 3.74-7.40 times (polysaccharides) compared with that of the blank test. Additionally, the short-chain fatty acids also increased 2.24 times. The rate of extraction of organic substances from the sludge increased from 3.03% to 33.33%. Furthermore, the fermented sludge with the SDIC treatment had higher hydrolytic acidification efficiencies for bovine serum albumin and glucose, increasing from 4.558% to 9.91% and 2.976%-6.764%, respectively. However, SDIC treatment of the conventional fermented sludge resulted in lower hydrolytic acidification efficiencies with values of 4.978%-1.781% and 3.334%-0.582%, respectively. Biological enzyme analysis also showed that SDIC enhanced α-glucosidase and protease activity but inhibited dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, and acid phosphatase activity. Proteobacteria and Comamonas were the main microbial communities observed in the WAS anaerobic fermentation.

Abstract
Co-occurrence of arsenic and nitrate in groundwater sources at a wide range of concentrations is reported. In this work, performance of suspended growth semi-batch reactor was assessed for co-removal of arsenic and nitrate from simulated groundwater to meet the drinking water standards in the absence of iron. The bioreactor was inoculated with mixed bacterial culture and operated in the absence of oxygen for more than 450 days under varying influent arsenate (200-800 µg/L), nitrate concentrations (50-250 mg/L), and hydraulic retention time of 3-6 days. Complete nitrate removal was observed at all tested concentrations. Arsenic removal was found to meet drinking water standards from initial concentrations and up to 600 µg/L. The extended toxicity characteristic leaching procedure leaching experiments indicated that arsenic-laden biosolids would not constitute a hazardous waste. The arsenic leaching was found to increase with an increase in dissolved oxygen and the final leachate concentrations of arsenic were below 150 µg/L. The leaching experiments suggested maintaining non-alkaline conditions for minimum arsenic release from arsenic biosolids formed under sulphidogenic conditions. This study is the first to report that nitrate and arsenic can be simultaneously removed to meet drinking standards in a suspended growth bioreactor.

Abstract
Perchlorate is a persistent pollutant, generated via natural and anthropogenic processes, that possesses a high potential for endocrine disruption in humans and biota. It inhibits iodine fixation, a major reason for eliminating this pollutant from ecosystems. Remediation of perchlorate can be achieved with various physicochemical treatments, especially at low concentrations. However, microbiological approaches using microorganisms, such as those from the genera Dechloromonas, Serratia, Propionivibrio, Wolinella, and Azospirillum, are promising when perchlorate pollution is extensive. Perchlorate-reducing bacteria, isolated from harsh environments, for example saline soils, mine sediments, thermal waters, wastewater treatment plants, underground gas storage facilities, and remote areas, including the Antarctica, can provide removal yields from 20 to 100%. Perchlorate reduction, carried out by a series of enzymes, such as perchlorate reductase and superoxide chlorite, depends on pH, temperature, salt concentration, metabolic inhibitors, nutritional conditions, time of contact, and cellular concentration. Microbial degradation is cost-effective, simple to implement, and environmentally friendly, rendering it a viable method for alleviating perchlorate pollution in the environment.

Abstract
A Gram-negative chlorate-reducing bacterial strain XM-1 was isolated. The 16S rRNA gene sequence identified the isolate as Ochrobactrum anthropi XM-1, which was the first strain of genus Ochrobactrum reported having the ability to reduce chlorate. The optimum growth temperature and pH for strain XM-1 to reduce chlorate was found to be 30 °C and 5.0-7.5, respectively, under anaerobic condition. Strain XM-1 could tolerate high chlorate concentration (200 mM), and utilize a variety of carbohydrates (glucose, L-arabinose, D-fructose, sucrose), glycerin and sodium citrate as electron donors. In addition, oxygen and nitrate could be used as electron acceptors, but perchlorate could not be reduced. Enzyme activities related to chlorate reducing were characterized in cell extracts. Activities of chlorate reductase and chlorite dismutase could be detected in XM-1 cells grown under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, implying the two enzymes were constitutively expressed. This work suggests a high potential of applying Ochrobactrum anthropi XM-1 for remediation of chlorate contamination.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study concurrent removal of nitrate, arsenic and iron in an attached growth reactor (AGR) based on bio-sulphidogenesis treating simulated and real-life ground water. A lab-scale bioreactor system was monitored for a period of 511 days under conditions identical to those prevailing at full-scale to assess the relative influence of empty bed contact time (EBCT) (20-90 min), backwash strategies (water-nitrogen and water-air), temperature (20-50 °C), pH (6.6-8.4) and shut down on reactor performance and recovery. Complete removal of nitrate (50 mg/L) and over 95% removal of iron (3 mg/L) occurred. Arsenic removal efficiency was around 99% (500 μg/L) and treated water arsenic concentration was in compliance with the World Health Organization and Indian Standard of 10 μg/L. Port sampling along the depth of bioreactor shows shifting of terminal electron accepting process zones at lower EBCT of 20 min and after air assisted backwashing. The temperature range of 20-50 °C and pH range of 6.6-8.4 were applicable for arsenic removal in natural conditions. Precipitated biosolids were analysed using electron microscopy. Biogenic sulphides resulted in the precipitation of arsenosulphides and iron sulphides, which concurrently removed arsenic and iron. This study suggests that a sulphidogenic bioreactor may help to set the basis for concurrent removal of nitrate, arsenic and iron from real-life groundwater using mixed biofilm bacterial community.

Abstract
Perchlorate (ClO4 -) has several industrial applications and is frequently detected in environmental matrices at relevant concentrations to human health. Currently, perchlorate-degrading bacteria are promising strategies for bioremediation in polluted sites. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize halophilic bacteria with the potential for perchlorate reduction. Ten bacterial strains were isolated from soils of Galerazamba-Bolivar, Manaure-Guajira, and Salamanca Island-Magdalena, Colombia. Isolates grew at concentrations up to 30% sodium chloride. The isolates tolerated pH variations ranging from 6.5 to 12.0 and perchlorate concentrations up to 10000 mg/L. Perchlorate was degraded by these bacteria on percentages between 25 and 10. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the strains were phylogenetically related to Vibrio, Bacillus, Salinovibrio, Staphylococcus, and Nesiotobacter genera. In conclusion, halophilic-isolated bacteria from hypersaline soils of the Colombian Caribbean are promising resources for the bioremediation of perchlorate contamination.

Abstract
This study investigates the sulfur (S) disproportionation tendencies in a sulfur packed bed reactor for perchlorate bio-autotrophic reduction at different temperatures. The reactor was operated with over 99% efficiency for 21.00 ± 1.40 mg L-1 perchlorate removal when the hydraulic retention time (HRT) ranged from 12.00 h to 0.75 h at 27 ± 2 °C. When HRT was controlled at 1.00 h, the perchlorate removal efficiency was only 8 ± 1% as the temperature dropped to 6 ± 1 °C. The half-order model fit both perchlorate removal and S disproportionation reaction well. Compared with S disproportionation, the decrease of temperature had a greater influence on perchlorate reduction. As the temperature dropped from 27 ± 2 °C to 6 ± 1 °C, the 1/2K1/2v,R for perchlorate reduction decreased from 7.37 mg1/2 L-1/2 h-1 to 0.19 mg1/2 L-1/2 h-1. Meanwhile, the 1/2K1/2v,S for S disproportionation decreased from 3.04 mg1/2 L-1/2 h-1 to 1.96 mg1/2 L-1/2 h-1. The reaction activation energy of perchlorate reduction and S disproportionation was 120.28 kJ mol-1 and 13.44 kJ mol-1, respectively. The S disproportionation reaction proceeded remarkably at the beginning of the reduction, a longer HRT and higher temperature promoted S disproportionation, resulting in excessive sulfate generation and alkalinity consumption. Besides, the spatial distribution of the microbial communities and the dominant bacteria function under different HRTs was analyzed using high-throughput sequencing.

Abstract
Pure bacteria cell (Azospira sp. KJ) and mixed perchlorate reducing bacteria (MPRB) were employed for decomposing the free perchlorate in water as well as the laden perchlorate on surface of quaternary ammonium wheat residuals (QAWR). Results indicated that perchlorate was decomposed by the Azospira sp. KJ prior to nitrate while MPRB was just the reverse. Bio-reduction of laden perchlorate by Azospira sp. KJ was optimal at pH 8.0. In contrast, bio-reduction of laden perchlorate by MPRB was optimal at pH 7.0. Generally, the rate of perchlorate reduction was controlled by the enzyme activity of PRB. In addition, perchlorate recovery (26.0 mg/g) onto bio-regenerated QAWR by MPRB was observed with a small decrease as compared with that (31.1 mg/g) by Azospira sp. KJ at first 48 h. Basically, this study is expected to offer some different ideas on bio-regeneration of perchlorate-saturated adsorbents using biological process, which may provide the economically alternative to conventional methods.

Abstract
Decomposition of perchlorate (ClO4-) in subcritical water in the presence of steel slag, a by-product of the steel industry, was investigated. Reactivity of ClO4- was low in pure subcritical water state up to 300 °C, whereas adding steel slag efficiently accelerated the decomposition of ClO4- to Cl-, with no leaching of heavy metals such as chromium and other environmentally undesirable elements (boron and fluorine). When the reaction was performed in subcritical water at a relatively low temperature (250 °C) for 6 h, virtually all ClO4- ions were removed from the reaction solution. The concentration of Cl- after the reaction was well accounted for by the sum of the amount of Cl- ascribed to the decomposition of ClO4- and the amount of Cl- leached from the slag. This method was successfully applied to decompose ClO4- in water samples collected from a man-made reflection pond following a fireworks display, even though these samples contained much higher concentrations of Cl- and SO42- than ClO4-.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the adsorption characters of resin, microbial reduction of perchlorate and combined process of perchlorate removal in aqueous solution. Study demonstrated the adsorption equilibrium was achieved in 120min, which based on ion exchange reaction. Dissolved perchlorate (100mg/L) can be completely removed by acclimated anaerobic sludge in 15h, and the concentrated perchlorate (∼200mg/g) on the surface of resin would be effectively microbial reduced after 3days. Neutral environment (pH=7.4), higher biomass and additional electron donor can apparently improve the biological reduction efficiency of concentrated perchlorate. Addition of many co-anions showed the competition adsorption towards perchlorate, especially in the presence of NO3-. This study provides an effective method for perchlorate reduction by the adsorption-microbial process.

Abstract
Nitrate and perchlorate were identified as significant water contaminants all over the world. This study aims at evaluating the performances of the heterotrophic-autotrophic sequential denitrification process for reductive nitrate and perchlorate removal from drinking water. The reduced nitrate concentration in the heterotrophic reactor increased with increasing methanol concentrations and the remaining nitrate/nitrite was further removed in the following autotrophic denitrifying process. The performances of the sequential process were studied under varying nitrate loads of [Formula: see text] at a fixed hydraulic retention time of 2 h. The C/N ratio in the heterotrophic reactor varied between 1.24 and 2.77 throughout the study. Nitrate and perchlorate reduced completely with maximum initial concentrations of [Formula: see text] and 1000 µg/L, respectively. The maximum denitrification rate for the heterotrophic reactor was [Formula: see text] when the bioreactor was fed with [Formula: see text] and 277 mg/L methanol. For the autotrophic reactor, the highest denitrification rate was [Formula: see text] in the first period when the heterotrophic reactor performance was low. Perchlorate reduction was initiated in the heterotrophic reactor, but completed in the following autotrophic process. Effluent sulphate concentration was below the drinking water standard level of 250 mg/L and pH was in the neutral level.

Abstract
Bioremediation of perchlorate-cotaminated water by a heterotrophic perchlorate reducing bacterium creates a multiple electron acceptor-donor system. We experimentally determined the perchlorate reduction by Azospira sp. KJ at multiple pH, electron acceptors and donors systems; this was the aim of this study. Perchlorate reduction was drastically inhibited at the pH 6.0, and the maximum reduction of perchlorate by Azospira sp. KJ was observed at pH value of 8.0. Perchlorate reduction was retarded in ClO4(-)-ClO3(-), ClO4(-)-ClO3(-)-NO3(-),and ClO4(-)-NO3(-) acceptor systems, while being completely inhibited by the additional O2 in the ClO4(-)-O2 acceptor system. The reduction proceeded as an order of ClO3(-), ClO4(-), and NO3(-) in the ClO4(-)-ClO3(-)-NO3(-) system. K(S), v(max), and q(max) obtained at different e(-) acceptor and donor conditions are calculated as 140.5-190.6 mg/L, 8.7-13.2 mg-perchlorate/L-h, and 0.094-0.16 mg-perchlorate/mg-DW-h, respectively.

Abstract
Decomposition of perchlorate (ClO(4)(-)) in pressurized hot water (PHW) was investigated. Although ClO(4)(-) demonstrated little reactivity in pure PHW up to 300°C, addition of zerovalent metals to the reaction system enhanced the decomposition of ClO(4)(-) to Cl(-) with an increasing order of activity of (no metal)≈Al < Cu < Zn < Ni << Fe: the addition of iron powder led to the most efficient decomposition of ClO(4)(-). When the iron powder was added to an aqueous ClO(4)(-) solution (104 μM) and the mixture was heated at 150°C, ClO(4)(-) concentration fell below 0.58 μM (58 μg L(-1), detection limit of ion chromatography) in 1 h, and Cl(-) was formed with the yield of 85% after 6 h. The decomposition was accompanied by transformation of the zerovalent iron to Fe(3)O(4). This method was successfully used in the decomposition of ClO(4)(-) in a water sample contaminated with this compound, following fireworks display at Albany, New York, USA.
