Abstract
In soil contamination management, simultaneous remediation of soil contaminated with multiple heavy metals (MHM-contaminated soil) continues to present a substantial scientific challenge. This study utilized cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) as an environmentally friendly washing agent to remediate soil contaminated with cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn). We investigated how CNC affects heavy metals removal under various conditions through soil washing experiments and its impact on soil health (including heavy metal distribution and ecological risk, soil phytotoxicity, soil microbial abundance and diversity) and the metals removal mechanism determined via Fourier transform infrared and 2D correlation spectroscopy (FTIR-2D COS). The results showed that CNC's pH significantly influenced the removal of heavy metals. CNC treatment reduced mobile Cd fractions by > 20.7%, lowered ecological risk from moderate (RI = 153.9) to low (< 150), maintained seed germination rates (comparable to controls) with 1.57 cm longer roots, and enhanced microbial richness (Chao1/ACE) while preserving diversity (Shannon/Simpson). FTIR-2D COS results showed that functional groups (-COOH and O-H) of CNC play a critical role in metals removal through electrostatic adsorption, displacement, and complexation reaction. This study suggested that CNC holds considerable potential for green-remediating MHM-contaminated soil.

Metagenomic insights into the functional potential of non-sanitary landfill microbiomes in the Indian Himalayan region, highlighting key plastic degrading genes. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2025; 484:136642. [PMID: 39653637 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.136642] [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: 08/16/2024] [Revised: 11/03/2024] [Accepted: 11/22/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2025]
Abstract
Solid waste management in the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) is a growing challenge, intensified by increasing population and tourism, which strain non-sanitary landfills. This study investigates microbial diversity and functional capabilities within these landfills using a high-throughput shotgun metagenomic approach. Physicochemical analysis revealed that the Manali and Mandi landfill sites were under heavy metal contamination and thermal stress. Taxonomic annotation identified a dominance of bacterial phyla, including Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes, with genera like Pseudomonas and Bacillus prevalent. Squeezemeta analysis generated 9,216,983 open reading frames (ORFs) across the sampling sites, highlighting diverse metabolic potentials for heavy metal resistance and degrading organic, xenobiotics and plastic wastes. Hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis (PCA) identified distinct gene clusters in Manali and Mandi landfill sites, reflecting differences in pollution profiles. Functional redundancy of landfill microbiome was observed with notable xenobiotic and plastic degradation pathways. This is the first comprehensive metagenomic assessment of non-sanitary landfills in the IHR, providing valuable insights into the microbial roles in degrading persistent pollutants, plastic waste, and other contaminants in these stressed environments.

The Effect of Cysteine on the Removal of Cadmium in Paddy Soil by Combination with Bioremediation and the Response of the Soil Microbial Community. TOXICS 2024; 13:22. [PMID: 39853022 PMCID: PMC11769394 DOI: 10.3390/toxics13010022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2024] [Revised: 12/26/2024] [Accepted: 12/27/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2025]
Abstract
Bioremediation is widely recognized as a promising and efficient approach for the elimination of Cd from contaminated paddy soils. However, the Cd removal efficacy achieved through this method remains unsatisfactory and is accompanied by a marginally higher cost. Cysteine has the potential to improve the bioleaching efficiency of Cd from soils and decrease the use cost since it is green, acidic and has a high Cd affinity. In this study, different combination modes of cysteine and microbial inoculant were designed to analyze their effects on Cd removal and the soil microbial community through the sequence extraction of Cd fraction and high-throughput sequencing. The results demonstrate that the mixture of cysteine and the microbial inoculant was the best mode for increasing the Cd removal efficiency. And a ratio of cysteine to microbial inoculant of 5 mg:2 mL in a 300 mL volume was the most economically efficient matching. The Cd removal rate increased by 7.7-15.1% in comparison with the microbial inoculant treatment. This could be ascribed to the enhanced removal rate of the exchangeable and carbonate-bound Cd, which achieved 94.6% and 96.1%, respectively. After the treatment, the contents of ammonium nitrogen (NH3-N), total phosphorus (TP), available potassium (AK), and available phosphorus (AP) in the paddy soils were increased. The treatment of combinations of cysteine and microbial inoculant had an impact on the soil microbial diversity. The relative abundances of Alicyclobacillus, Metallibacterium, and Bacillus were increased in the paddy soils. The microbial metabolic functions, such as replication and repair and amino acid metabolism, were also increased after treatment, which benefitted the microbial survival and adaptation to the environment. The removal of Cd was attributed to the solubilizing, complexing, and ion-exchanging effects of the cysteine, the intra- and extracellular adsorption, and the production of organic acids of functional microorganisms. Moreover, cysteine, as a carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur source, promoted the growth and metabolism of microorganisms to achieve the effect of the synergistic promotion of microbial Cd removal. Therefore, this study underscored the potential of cysteine to enhance the bioremediation performance in Cd-contaminated paddy soils, offering valuable theoretical and technical insights for this field.

Rice husk biochar resuscitates the microecological functions of heavy-metal contaminated soil after washing by enriching functional bacteria. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 480:136430. [PMID: 39522155 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.136430] [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: 08/09/2024] [Revised: 10/15/2024] [Accepted: 11/05/2024] [Indexed: 11/16/2024]
Abstract
Biochar has great potential for simultaneously improving soil ecological functions and eliminating environmental pollutants. However, studies on this strategy in the restoration of ecological functions in chelator-washed soil are lacking, and the effect of biochar on the structure, functions, and microbial interactions of washed soil microbiomes are unclear. Hence, the effect of rice husk biochar (RHB, 2 %) on the physicochemical properties, heavy metal fractions, and microbial community structure of glutamate-N, N-diacetic acid (GLDA)- and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)- washed remediated soil were investigated. Results showed that the RHB addition restored the washed soil physical structure (pores and agglomerates) and meanwhile, the soil colloidal sheet sweeps increased by 20.49 % and 102.07 % in the z-axis, respectively. Additionally, RHB significantly increased washed soil pH (P < 0.05) and alkaline phosphatase and urease activities, while decreased acid phosphatase and glucosidase activities. The Observed-species and Shannon index were significantly higher in soil treated by RHB combined with GLDA and EDTA than those treated with GLDA and EDTA alone (P < 0.05). GLDA washing coupled RHB treatment enriched key bacterial groups such as MND1, Chelativorans, and Ellin6067, while EDTA washing coupled RHB treatment enriched Sreroidobacter, Micromonospora, and Reyranella, that both related to C-, N-, and P- cycles. Importantly, RHB addition could enrich functional bacteria by increasing bacterial resistance, including glucose metabolic homeostasis and metal ion resistance. The observed enrichment of functional bacteria provided evidence for the enhancement of soil nutrient cycles, indicative of improved soil functions by combination of chelator washing and biochar amended.

Abstract
Microbial communities as the most important and active component of soil play a crucial role in the geochemical cycling of toxic metal(loid)s in the Pb and Zn smelting site soils. However, the relationships between soil microbial communities and the fractions of toxic metal(loid)s and the succession of soil microbial community and functions after enrichment cultivation have rarely been analyzed. In this study, the diversity and composition of microbial communities in soils before and after enrichment cultivation were investigated by high-throughput sequencing. And the co-occurrence relationships between soil microbial community after enrichment cultivation and MRGs genes were also analyzed through the BacMet database. Results showed that the dominant genus in the soils was Lactobacillus and Stenotrophomonas. The soil microbial community exhibited a notable correlation with Cd, Pb, and As, among which Cd exerted the most profound impact. Alishewanella, Pseudomonas, Massilia and Roseibacillus were significantly correlated with the fraction of Cd. After enrichment cultivation, the number of genera decrease to 96. And the dominant genus changed to Acinetobacter, Bacillus, Comamonas, Lysobacter, and Pseudoxanthomonas. High abundance of metal resistance genes (MRGs) including zntA, fpvA, zipB, cadA, czcA, czcB, czcC, zntA, arsR, pstS and pstB was found in the microbial community after enrichment cultivation. The potential host genus for MRGs was Acinetobacter, Comamonas, Lysinibacillus, Azotobacter, Bacillus, Lysobacter, Cupriavidus, Pseudoxanthomonas, and Thermomonas. Additionally, these microbial community after enrichment cultivation possessing pathways of bacterial chemotaxis and two-component systems was enabled them to adapt to the polluted environment. These observations provided potential guidance for microbe isolation and the development of strategies for the bioremediation of toxic metal(loid)s polluted soils.

ARCHIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY 2024; 86:73-89.

Abstract
The mining and smelting site soils in South China present excessive Cd pollution. However, the transport behavior of Cd in the highly weathered acidic soil layer at the lead-zinc smelting site remains unclear. Here, under different conditions of simulated infiltration, the migration behavior of Cd2+ in acid smelting site soils at different depths was examined. The remodeling effect of Cd2+ migration behavior on microbial community structure and the dominant microorganisms in lead-zinc sites soils was analyzed using high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons. The results revealed a specific flow rate in the range of 0.3-0.5 mL/min that the convection and dispersion have no obvious effect on Cd2+ migration. The variation of packing porosity could only influence the migration behavior by changing the average pore velocity, but cannot change the adsorption efficiency of soil particles. The Cd has stronger migration capacity under the reactivation of acidic seepage fluid. However, in the alkaline solution, the physical properties of soil, especially pores, intercept the Cd compounds, further affecting their migration capacity. The acid-site soil with high content of SOM, amorphous Fe oxides, crystalline Fe/Mn/Al oxides, goethite, and hematite has stronger ability to adsorb and retain Cd2+. However, higher content of kaolinite in acidic soil will increase the potential migration of Cd2+. Besides, the migration behavior of Cd2+ results in simplified soil microbial communities. Under Cd stress, Cd-tolerant genera (Bacteroides, Sphingomonas, Bradyrhizobium, and Corynebacterium) and bacteria with both acid-Cd tolerance (WCHB 1-84) were distinguished. The Ralstonia showed a high enrichment degree in alkaline Cd2+ infiltration solution (pH 10.0). Compared to the influence of Cd2+ stress, soil pH had a stronger ability to shape the microbial community in the soil during the process of Cd2+ migration.
