Published: September 2021

The bioremoval potential of Pseudomonas plecoglossicida toward mixed contaminants was explored through the coupled biostimulation and bioaugmentation in soil microcosm. Response surface methodology was employed to optimize nutrients and innoculum size for the cometabolic removal of two representative chloroethylenes, trichloroethylene (TCE) and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cis-DCE), mixed with benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). The interactive effects of nutrients [nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)] and inoculum size toward the bioremoval of mixture of BTEX (600 mg kg), cis-DCE (10 mg kg), and TCE (10 mg kg) were estimated using principal component analysis and two-dimensional hierarchical cluster analysis. The optimal condition was confirmed with C:N:P ratio of 100:26.7:1.8-4.8 and higher inoculum size (≥25%), where 97.7% of benzene, 98.3% of toluene, 91.2% of ethylbenzene, 45.6% of m,p-xylene, 31.2% of o-xylene, 26.9% of cis-DCE, and 33.5% of TCE were bioremoved.

Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) is a promising technology for resource and energy recovery from wastewater owing to its high-quality effluent and methane production. However, membrane fouling and susceptible methanogenesis have ever compromised the AnMBR. This work attempted to mitigate membrane fouling and promote methane production simultaneously in AnMBR through bioaugmentation with a consortium consisting of both quorum quenching (QQ) bacteria and methanogens.

Mine waste can be transformed into technosol as an ecological strategy. Despite its importance to soil functions, biological activity is often overlooked. Biopolymers can serve as innovative tools for bioremediation, facilitating chemical reactions and creating networks to encapsulate contaminants.

Petroleum contamination remains a worldwide issue requiring cost-effective bioremediation techniques. However, establishing a universal bioremediation strategy for all types of oil-polluted sites is challenging. This difficulty arises from the heterogeneity of soil textures, the complexity of oil products, and the variations in local climate and environment across different oil-contaminated regions.

Article Synopsis
  • Interpreting transcriptomic and metagenomic data from non-model microorganisms is complicated due to many unknown gene functions and sequences.
  • This study introduced a microarray called Dehalochip to detect gene expression related to chloroethene degradation, successfully identifying key dechlorination genes in contaminated groundwater samples.
  • The Dehalochip demonstrated sensitivity and specificity similar to quantitative PCR but is more suitable for in-situ applications, providing insights into microorganisms' roles and functional genes in environmentally harmful chloroethene degradation processes.

Microbial reductive dechlorination is a key process in aquifers contaminated with chlorinated ethenes and results in a net mass reduction of organic pollutants. Biodegradation rates in the subsurface are temperature-dependent and may be enhanced by increased groundwater temperatures. This study explores the potential of combining the temperature increase from low-temperature Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage with In Situ Bioremediation (ATES-ISB).
