Abstract
The advances in nanotechnology have shown enormous impacts in environmental technology as a potent weapon for degradation of toxic organic pollutants and detoxification of heavy metals. It is either by in-situ or ex-situ adaptive strategies. Mycoremediation of environmental pollutants has been a success story of the past decade, by employing the wide arsenal of biological capabilities of fungi. Recently, the proficiency and uniqueness of yeast cell surface alterations have encouraged the generation of engineered yeast cells as dye degraders, heavy metal reduction and its recovery, and also as detoxifiers of various hazardous xenobiotic compounds. As a step forward, recent trends in research are towards developing biologically engineered living materials as potent, biocompatible and reusable hybrid nanomaterials. They include chitosan-yeast nanofibers, nanomats, nanopaper, biosilica hybrids, and TiO2-yeast nanocomposites. The nano-hybrid materials contribute significantly as supportive stabilizer, and entrappers, which enhances the biofabricated yeast cells' functionality. This field serves as an eco-friendly cutting-edge cocktail research area. In this review, we highlight recent research on biofabricated yeast cells and yeast-based biofabricated molecules, as potent heavy metals, toxic chemical detoxifiers, and their probable mechanistic properties with future application perspectives.

Human health and ecological risk assessment of heavy metal(loid)s in agricultural soils of rural areas: A case study in Kurdistan Province, Iran. J Environ Health Sci Eng 2020; 18:469-481.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Agricultural soils pollution with heavy metal (loid) s (HMs) can create significant ecological and health problems. The aims of present study were to characterize HMs pollution profile of dry farmland soils in rural areas of Kurdistan province in Iran and evaluate potential associated ecological and health risks. METHODS Different indices of Geo-accumulation index (IGeo), Individual contamination factor (ICF), Nemerow composite pollution index (NCPI) and Potential Ecological Risk Index (PERI) were employed to assess the bio-accumulation of the HMs and evaluate associated ecological risks. Human health risks estimated with total hazard index (THI) and total carcinogenic risk (TCR) indices based on ingestion, inhalation and dermal exposure pathways for children and adults. RESULTS As, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb exceeded the soil standards. The spatial maps of the IGeo showed that As pollution was at severe level in eastern part of the study region. According to the ICF results, the studied soils were extremely contaminated with As, Cd, Cr, Ni and Zn. Furthermore, based on the pollution indices, some of sampling sites were critically polluted by abovementioned HMs. For children and adults groups, the THI values in 13 and 97% of sampling sites were more than 1 and the TCR in 7 and 14% of sampling sites were more than 10-4, respectively. The farmland soil pollution of the study area by As and Cr were found to be quite serious and dangerous. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that further attention should be paid by decision-makers to control the HMs pollution in the agricultural soils of the study area.

BMC Microbiol 2020; 20:106.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimonite [Sb(III)]-oxidizing bacterium has great potential in the environmental bioremediation of Sb-polluted sites. Bacillus sp. S3 that was previously isolated from antimony-contaminated soil displayed high Sb(III) resistance and Sb(III) oxidation efficiency. However, the genomic information and evolutionary feature of Bacillus sp. S3 are very scarce. RESULTS Here, we identified a 5,436,472 bp chromosome with 40.30% GC content and a 241,339 bp plasmid with 36.74% GC content in the complete genome of Bacillus sp. S3. Genomic annotation showed that Bacillus sp. S3 contained a key aioB gene potentially encoding As (III)/Sb(III) oxidase, which was not shared with other Bacillus strains. Furthermore, a wide variety of genes associated with Sb(III) and other heavy metal (loid) s were also ascertained in Bacillus sp. S3, reflecting its adaptive advantage for growth in the harsh eco-environment. Based on the analysis of phylogenetic relationship and the average nucleotide identities (ANI), Bacillus sp. S3 was proved to a novel species within the Bacillus genus. The majority of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) mainly distributed on chromosomes within the Bacillus genus. Pan-genome analysis showed that the 45 genomes contained 554 core genes and many unique genes were dissected in analyzed genomes. Whole genomic alignment showed that Bacillus genus underwent frequently large-scale evolutionary events. In addition, the origin and evolution analysis of Sb(III)-resistance genes revealed the evolutionary relationships and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events among the Bacillus genus. The assessment of functionality of heavy metal (loid) s resistance genes emphasized its indispensable role in the harsh eco-environment of Bacillus genus. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis indicated that Sb(III)-related genes were all induced under the Sb(III) stress, while arsC gene was down-regulated. CONCLUSIONS The results in this study shed light on the molecular mechanisms of Bacillus sp. S3 coping with Sb(III), extended our understanding on the evolutionary relationships between Bacillus sp. S3 and other closely related species, and further enriched the Sb(III) resistance genetic data sources.
