Background and aims Plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can promote plant performance under water deficit, but the physiology and biochemistry of the promoting process induced by PGPR under different water deficits is not well known in maize ( Zea mays L). Methods A glasshouse study was conducted to determine the effects of Burkholderia sp. LD-11 on morphophysiological traits for plant growth and homeostasis between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant enzymes under five regimens in two maize inbred lines. Results Soil inoculation with Burkholderia sp. LD-11 promoted biomass accumulation and improved instantaneous water-use efficiency (WUEi), regardless of the soil water availability. It also triggered production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), decreasing the accumulation of abscisic acid (ABA) induced by the water deficit, alleviated ROS accumulation, and resulted in a reduction in lipid peroxidation induced by the water deficits. Soil inoculation also enhanced the tolerance to water deficit through reducing stomatal aperture by increasing the sensitivity of stomatal conductance ( g
s ) to small changes in ABA concentration in the leaves. Conclusions Soil inoculation with Burkholderia sp. LD-11 enhanced root systems and WUEi, offering a potential avenue for improving maize tolerance to water deficit.

Bio H2 conversion from wetland lignocellulosic biomass is one of the promising alternatives to fossil fuels. Both Phragmites (sp.) and Thalia dealbata are holocellulose-rich and lignin-rich wetland plant biomasses. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) demonstrated alteration of lignocellulosic structures due to hemicelluloses removal by steam explosion (SE) pretreatment, and further disruption of cellulose crystallinity after treatment with SE followed by [Bmim]Cl (SE-[Bmim]Cl). Thermogravimetry/differential thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) revealed an increase in amorphous cellulose and partial delignification in lignocellulosic structures as a consequence of SE-[Bmim]Cl. The pretreatment of both SE and SE-[Bmim]Cl yielded lignocellulosic substrates with improved properties in terms of their conversion into glucose and bio H2. Five-to-ten folds (by SE) and ten-to-twenty folds (by SE-[Bmim]Cl) more glucose was released from the lignocellulosic substrates of both plants than those of contrast samples. Compared to Phragmites (sp.), the greater destruction in lignocellulosic structure of Thalia dealbata as a result of SE and SE-[Bmim]Cl, increased the accessible surface area and disrupted the cellulose crystallinity much more, thus making it more efficient for bio H2 conversion. The bio H2 of 1.97 ± 0.14 mmol H2 g−1 dry weight (DW) was yielded after sludge anaerobic fermentation of Thalia dealbata treated with SE, and it increased to 4.79 ± 0.86 mmol H2 g−1 DW after SE-[Bmim]Cl treatment. For Phragmites (sp.) it was 1.45 ± 0.42 and 2.75 ± 0.76 mmol H2 g−1 DW after SE and SE-[Bmim]Cl pretreatment, respectively. Therefore, SE-[Bmim]Cl pretreatment can be developed for efficiently enhancing bio H2 conversion from wetland plant Thalia dealbata.

In this study, a novel chitinase-producing bacterium Chitinibacter sp. GC72 was isolated and investigated for N -acetyl-D-glucosamine production from crayfish shell enzymatic degradation. A dimeric chitinase was purified, which had an optimal activity at a pH of 6.8 and 40 °C. The metal ions Al 3+ , Cu 2+ , and Zn 2+ inhibited the chitinase activity, whereas Ca 2+ , Mn 2+ , and Mg 2+ promoted the activity. The chitinase was active on p -NP-GlcNAc with apparent K m value of 152.83 μmol/L and V m value of 49.12 μmol/L min at 37 °C. Based on the hydrolysate formed, the chitinase was characterized as an exo-hydrolytic N -acetyl glucosaminidase. Furthermore, combined treatment of ultra-micro grinding and ultrasonic with direct enzymatic hydrolysis of crayfish shell for GlcNAc production was investigated, which resulted in 15.2 g of GlcNAc production from 100 g of crayfish shell following chitinase degradation for 36 h.

The efficient biodegradation of volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons using microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offers a feasible approach for purifying waste gas and alleviating energy crises. However, power generation is limited by poor pollutant biodegradation and slow electron transfer . The bifunctional bacterium Acinetobacter sp. HY-99C was screened and used to improve the performance of a conventional MFC. The inoculation of strain HY-99C into the conventional MFC promoted the formation of a compact biofilm with high metabolic activity and an enriched bifunctional genus ( Acinetobacter ), which resulted in the accelerated decomposition of chlorinated aromatic compounds into biodegradable organic acids. This led to efficient chlorobenzene removal and power generation from the MFC, with a chlorobenzene elimination capacity of 70.8 g m −3 h −1 and power density of 89.6 mW m −2 , which are improved over those of previously reported MFCs. This study provides novel insights into enhancing pollutant removal and power generation in MFCs.

Bacterial leaf blight (BLB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is one of the most severe bacterial diseases in rice. The current BLB-prevention strategy depends on chemical antimicrobials. The biological control methods have gained considerable attention. Among them, Streptomyces are particularly promising candidates due to their ability to produce diverse natural antimicrobial and plant-growth-promoting metabolites. In this study, we isolated a Streptomyces strain HSW2009 from the rice rhizosphere. This strain displayed significant antagonistic activity against Xoo. The antagonistic metabolite was extracted and purified from the HSW2009 culture. High-performance liquid chromatography-mass chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses revealed that the active compound is Piericidin A1, a member of the piericidin family metabolites containing a 4-pyridinol core linked with a methylated polyketide side chain. Piericidin A1 was shown to protect rice from Xoo infection in the microclimate chamber. The strain HSW2009 produced pale yellow aerial mycelia on the agar plate of the International Streptomyces Project-2 medium. Its cellular morphology conformed to that typically observed in the genus Streptomyces . Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that HSW2009 was closely related to Streptomyces zagrosensis , S. youssoufiensis , and S. varsoviensis . HSW2009 displayed a unique DNA profile in BOX-PCR fingerprinting analysis and had a genome size of 8,806,972 bp, with a 72.83% G + C content. Average nucleotide identity analysis and digital DNA–DNA hybridization using the Type Strain Genome Server supported HSW2009 as a novel Streptomyces sp. It was therefore proposed as Streptomyces shaowuensis sp. nov., type strain HSW2009.

This study investigates the biomass and carbon fixation rate of Chlorella sp. by the main valuable elements in converter steel slag in F/2 seawater medium. The results indicate that Ca, Mg, P, Si, Fe, and Mn can increase the biomass and carbon fixation rate of Chlorella sp. , while Cu, Zn, Cr, and Al can decrease the biomass and carbon fixation rate of Chlorella sp. . Three machine learning methods known as Back Propagation neural network (BPNN), decision tree (DT), and random forest (RF) were applied to construct the prediction model for the carbon fixation rate of Chlorella sp. based on real-life experimental data obtained from single factor experiments. The overall results exhibited that the BPNN model is better than the DT model and RF model to predict the carbon fixation rate of Chlorella sp. . Finally, the maximum carbon fixation rate for Chlorella sp. predicted by BPNN model is 50.86 mg/(L·d), which was 2.46 times that of the control group, under the optimum conditions of Ca 5.77 g/L, Mg 4.74 g/L, P 1.27 g/L, Si 6.31×10 −1 g/L, Fe 6.50×10 −4 g/L, Mn 5.00×10 −5 g/L, Cu 2.51×10 −6 g/L, Zn 4.98×10 −6 g/L, Cr 0 g/L, and Al 0 g/L in F/2 seawater medium.

Abstract Water–oil interface of bacterial cell-stabilized Pickering emulsions is an exceptional habitat for microbial assimilation of both hydrophobic nutrients solubilized in oil phase and hydrophilic ones solubilized in water phase. Crystal substrate inhibition, i.e., decreasing phytosterol degradation with the increase loading of crystal phytosterols, is always observed during microbial transformation of phytosterols into steroid synthons in Mycolicibacterium sp (China Center of Industrial Culture Collection, CICC 21,097) cell-stabilized Pickering emulsions. In the present work, we confirmed that crystal substrate inhibition was attributed to the interaction between M. neoaurum and phytosterol crystals that led to the detachment of bacterial cells from the oil–water interfaces in bacterial cell-stabilized Pickering emulsions. Under the selected operation condition (25 ml BEHP per 40 ml water, 60 g/L glucose, 25 g/L phytosterols), the product androst-4-ene-3, 17-dione (AD) and androsta-1, 4-dien-3, 17-dione (ADD) concentration increased linearly with the progress of microbial transformation and reached almost 6 g/L at the 11 th day. This is a paradigm for microbial transformation of crystal substrates as well as in the presence of other surface active additives (such as chitosan and nonionic surfactants) in bacterial cell-stabilized Pickering emulsions. Key points • Microbial transformation of crystal phytosterols in Pickering emulsions • Crystal substrate inhibition occurring during microbial transformation • Interaction between phytosterol crystals and bacterial cells leading to demulsification

The widespread presence of 17β-estradiol (E2) in the environment is an emerging problem because it poses a potential threat to human health and aquatic organisms. In this study, a strain of E2 degrading bacteria was isolated from activated sludge . 16s rRNA analysis combined with physiological and biochemical detection confirmed that the bacterium was Ochrobactrum sp. strain FJ1. At an initial E2 concentration of 15 mg L −1 , strain FJ1 degraded 98 ± 1% of E2 after 10 days. Furthermore, when methanol was added as an additional carbon source, the biomass of strain FJ1 increased by 35 ± 1%, and E2 degradation efficiency was slightly inhibited. Compared with E2 alone when glucose, sodium acetate, and methanol were added as additional carbon sources, biomass decreased by 20 ± 1, 13 ± 1 and 35 ± 1%, respectively. Analysis of the degradation products of E2 by LC/Q-TOF-MS confirmed that the major degradation products of E2 were estrone (E1) and 4,16-OH-E1, which was further degraded by strain FJ1 to several other unknown compounds. Based on SEM and FTIR analysis, the morphology of the bacteria became thicker and the thickness of the cell walls decreased under initial E2 stress, and thereafter E2 was transported into the bacteria primarily via several proteins on the cell surface. Considering the ability and efficiency of Ochrobactrum sp. strain FJ1 to degrade high E2 content, the strain could provide a new bioremediation technology for the effective biodegradation of E2. Finally, a potential bioremediation pathway of E2 by Ochrobactrum sp. strain FJ1 was proposed.

A simultaneous denitrifying and mineralizing bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. WZ39 was isolated for fluoride (F − ), nitrate (NO 3 − -N), and calcium (Ca 2+ ) removal. Strain WZ39 exhibited a remarkable defluoridation efficiency of 87.49% under a pH of 6.90, F − and Ca 2+ concentration of 1.99 and 201.88 mg L −1 , respectively. EEM, SEM–EDS, XRD, and FTIR analyses elucidated the chemical adsorption and co-precipitation with calcium salt contributed to the removal of F − . The mechanisms of biomineralization were also investigated by determining the role of bound and unbound extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), cell wall, and calcium channel in nucleation. The results showed that bacteria can promote nucleation on the templates of cell walls or EPS through the electrostatic effect. The presence of the calcium channel blocker inhibited the transport of intracellular Ca 2+ to the extracellular environment. The outcome of the present research can provide a theoretical basis for the understanding of MICP phenomenon and the efficient treatment of F − containing groundwater.

17β-estradiol (E2) ubiquitously exists in various water bodies with long-term endocrine-disrupting and carcinogenic impacts on wildlife even at the trace level of ng L−1. However, it remains unclear how easy-to-degrade carbon sources alter E2 biodegradation patterns. In this study, E2 biodegradation by Sphingomonas sp. MCCC 1A06484 was investigated with regard to alternative carbon sources. Results showed that the bacterium preferentially utilized glucose, sodium succinate and sodium acetate over E2. Interestingly, the presence of these preferred nutrients increased the E2 removal efficiency by 20.1%. Furthermore, a positive relation (p < 0.05) between the utilization of total organic carbon (TOC) and E2 was found. Using intracellular metabolomics by UHPLC-QTOF-MS, 11 up-regulated and 35 down-regulated metabolites (variable importance > 1, p < 0.05) were identified in the bacterium when cultivated with E2 under various carbon and nitrogen backgrounds. The E2 exposure contributed to metabolism changes of lipid, nucleotide, carbohydrate, amino acid and membrane transport, which were considered to play roles in the E2 metabolism. The up-regulated phosphatidylcholine might act as an indicator during the bacterial degradation of E2. Generally, this study contributes to an in-depth understanding of E2 biodegradation in complex environments with multiple carbon and nitrogen sources.

Treatment of wastewater in municipal wastewater treatment plants has become a major barrier to organic pollutants entering the aquatic environment. In this study, qualitative screening of organic micropollutants was conducted in a typical municipal wastewater treatment plant (MWWTP) using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The identified compounds were prioritized according to their comprehensive scores ranked by detection frequency, semi-quantitative concentration, bioaccumulation, ecotoxicity, and biodegradability. The results showed dibutyl phthalate, antioxidant 2246, methyl stearate, 2,4,6-tri‑tert-butylphenol, and dioctyl phthalate had the top five scores and were ranked as priority organic pollutants in the municipal wastewater. The individual and joint toxicity determinations of the five compounds were carried out by a bioluminescence inhibition assay using Vibrio qinghaiensis sp.-Q67 ( V. qinghaiensis ). The individual toxicity assay results of these pollutants on V. qinghaiensis demonstrated that the order of the acute toxicity of the five priority organic pollutants was as follows: dioctyl phthalate> dibutyl phthalate> methyl stearate> antioxidant 2246> 2,4,6-tri‑tert-butylphenol. The joint toxicity showed partial addition or antagonism among these pollutants. The prediction results of the mixed toxicity were compared between the concentration addition model and the independent action model, indicating that a single traditional prediction model could not accurately predict the mixed toxicity of different types of organic pollutants, and that a comprehensive application of model prediction could improve the accuracy of mixed toxicity prediction. This method could provide a theoretical basis for systematic screening and toxicity prediction of pollutants in wastewater.

To explore an effective method of utilizing nitrogen-rich microalgae, the two-step pyrolysis (TSP) characteristic of Nannochloropsis sp (NCS) over ZSM-5 were studied by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TG). The results showed that the TG process of NCS was classified into three stages. ZSM-5 increased the final weight loss and the pyrolysis temperature of NCS. The kinetic analysis was conducted by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method, and showed that the pyrolysis of NCS conformed to one-dimensional shrinking core model. ZSM-5 did not affect the kinetic model, but decreased the activation energy. Compared with one-step pyrolysis, TSP improved the selectivity of N-heterocyclic compounds in the first step. Catalytic TSP further reduced the complexity of products significantly, and increased the selectivity of olefins in the first step, nitriles and aromatic hydrocarbons in the second step. The possible catalytic TSP reaction pathways of NCS were proposed.
