19. White Rot Fungi as Tools for the Bioremediation of Xenobiotics: A Review.

Abstract

Industrial development has enhanced the release into the environment of large quantities of chemical compounds with high toxicity and limited prospects of degradation. The pollution of soil and water with xenobiotic chemicals has become a major ecological issue; therefore, innovative treatment technologies need to be explored. Fungal bioremediation is a promising technology exploiting their metabolic potential to remove or lower the concentrations of xenobiotics. In particular, white rot fungi (WRF) are unique microorganisms that show high capacities to degrade a wide range of toxic xenobiotic compounds such as synthetic dyes, chlorophenols, polychlorinated biphenyls, organophosphate pesticides, explosives and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In this review, we address the main classes of enzymes involved in the fungal degradation of organic pollutants, the main mechanisms used by fungi to degrade these chemicals and the suitability of fungal biomass or extracellular enzymes for bioremediation. We also exemplify the role of several fungi in degrading pollutants such as synthetic dyes, PAHs and emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and perfluoroalkyl/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Finally, we discuss the existing current limitations of using WRF for the bioremediation of polluted environments and future strategies to improve biodegradation processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

20. Phytomanagement of trace element polluted fields with aromatic plants: supporting circular bio-economies.

Abstract

Trace elements pollution of soils became a global concern because of their persistence in the environment which can lead to accumulation in food chains up to toxic levels. At the same time, there is a shortage of arable land for growing food, fodder and industrial crops, which highlights the need for remediation/use of polluted land. Restoration of degraded lands has been included as a vital component of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We summarize various sources of entry of important trace elements in the environment, available biological reclamation and management strategies and their limitations. Recent advances in phytomanagement approaches using aromatic crops to obtain economically valuable products such as essential oils and revalorize such polluted areas are reviewed. The worldwide application of this strategy in the last 10 years is illustrated through a choropleth map. Finally, the emerging concept of phytomanagement as a restorative and regenerative circular bio-economy is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Noccaea caerulescens, a hyperaccumulator plant species known for its metal tolerance and accumulation abilities, harbours a microbiome of interest within its seed. These seed-associated bacteria, often referred to as seed endophytes, play a unique role in seed germination and plant growth and health. This work aimed to address how inoculating seeds of eight different plant species—Medicago sativa (alfalfa), Zea mays (corn), Raphanus sativus (radish), Helianthus annus (sunflower), Cucurbita pepo subsp. pepo (squash), Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla (rainbow chard), Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress), and Noccaea caerulescens (penny cress)—with a bacterial consortium made from the seed endophytes of N. caerulescens would affect the seed microbiome of each test plant species, as well as inoculation with a strain of the bacterium Sphingomonas wittichii, which was previously isolated from seeds of N. caerulescens. Additionally, we aimed to offer preliminary plant tests in order to determine the best seed treatment plan for future research. The results showed that inoculation with the bacterial consortium held the most potential for increasing plant size (p < 0.001) and increasing germination rate (p < 0.05). The plant that responded best to inoculation was N. caerulescens (penny cress), likely because the microbes being introduced into the seed were not foreign. This paper also offers the first insight into the seed endophytes of Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla, highlighting an abundance of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteriota. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
