Dissimilatory metal reducing bacteria (DMRB) widely exist in the subsurface environment and are involved in various contaminant degradation and element geochemical cycling processes. Recent studies suggest that DMRB can biosynthesize metal nanoparticles during metal reduction, but it is unclear yet how such biogenic nanomaterials would affect their decontamination behaviors. In this study, we found that the dechlorination rates of carbon tetrachloride (CT) by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 was significantly increased by 8 times with the formation of biogenic ferrous sulfide (FeS) nanoparticles. The pasteurized biogenic FeS enabled 5 times faster dechlorination than abiotic FeS that had larger sizes and irregular structure, confirming a significant contribution of the biogenic FeS to CT bioreduction resulting from its good dispersion and relatively high dechlorination activity. This study highlights a potentially important role of biosynthesized nanoparticles in environmental bioremediation.

FeS-based nanomaterials are widely used in Fenton-like reaction of antibiotics degradation. However, the problems of poor stability and low reusability limit the catalytic efficiency. Herein, the study ingeniously introduced the g-CN into FeS to synthesize g-CN@biogenic FeS (CN-BF-1) nanocomposite with strong interaction of iron ions and "N-pots" by the mediation of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB).

The biogeochemical behavior downstream of the zero-valent iron permeable reactive barrier (ZVI-PRB) plays an enormous positive role in the remediation of contaminated-groundwater, but has been completely neglected for a long time. Therefore, this study conducted a 240-day SRB-enhanced ZVI-PRB column experiment, focusing on what exactly happens downstream of ZVI-PRB. Results show that biosulfidation of SRB inside ZVI-PRB prolonged the complete Cr(VI) removal longevity of ZVI-PRB from 38 days to at least 240 days.

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and iron minerals are widespread in subsurface environments, where their mediated Fe and S transformations are crucial for contaminant immobilization. However, the mechanism mediated by SRB to transform natural iron minerals into reduced iron-sulfur compounds and the contaminant removal capacity of the transformation products remain unclear. Herein, the mechanism of native SRB-mediated transformation of iron-minerals from natural aquifer media into biogenic ferrous sulfide (FeS) was revealed and the Cr(VI) removal performance of the transformation product was evaluated.

The high efficiency, economy, sustainability and no secondary pollution of U(VI) removal is an important and challenging topic for U(VI) wastewater treatment. Here, the regenerable biohybrids with xanthan gum (XG) stabilized biogenic mackinawite nanoparticles (BX-FeS) were prepared, where XG acted as carrier facilitated the Fe attachment and induced the low size, high stability and activity of nearly spherical FeS nanoparticles. Results showed that BX-FeS kept high activity after storing two years and good performance for U(VI) removal in broad pH range and co-existence of ions, and had greater removal efficiency (97.

Microbial manganese (Mn) oxidation, predominantly occurs within the anaerobic-aerobic interfaces, plays an important role in environmental pollution remediation. The anaerobic-aerobic transition zones, notably riparian and lakeside zones, are hotspots for algae-bacteria interactions. Here, we adopted a Mn(II)-oxidizing bacterium Pseudomonas sp.
