Biodegradation Efficiency

High-efficiency bioremediation technology for heavy oil pollution has been a popular research topic in recent years. Laccase is very promising for the remediation of heavy oil pollution because it can not only convert bio-refractory hydrocarbons into less toxic or completely harmless compounds, but also accelerate the biodegradation efficiency of heavy oil. However, there are few reports on the use of laccase to enhance the biodegradation of heavy oil. In this study, we investigated the effect of laccase on the bacterial consortia degradation of heavy oil. The degradation efficiencies of bacterial consortia and the laccase-bacterial consortia were 60.6 ± 0.1% and 68.2 ± 0.6%, respectively, and the corresponding heavy oil degradation rate constants were 0.112 day−1 and 0.198 day−1, respectively. The addition of laccase increased the heavy oil biodegradation efficiency (p < 0.05) and biodegradation rate of the bacterial consortia. Moreover, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis showed that the biodegradation efficiencies of the laccase-bacterial consortia for saturated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons were 82.5 ± 0.7% and 76.2 ± 0.9%, respectively, which were 16.0 ± 0.3% and 13.0 ± 1.8% higher than those of the bacterial consortia, respectively. In addition, the degradation rate constants of the laccase-bacterial consortia for saturated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons were 0.267 day−1 and 0.226 day−1, respectively, which were 1.07 and 1.15 times higher than those of the bacterial consortia, respectively. The degradation of C15 to C35 n-alkanes and 2 to 5-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by laccase-bacterial consortia was higher than individual bacterial consortia. It is further seen that the addition of laccase significantly improved the biodegradation of long-chain n-alkanes of C22–C35 (p < 0.05). Overall, this study shows that the combination of laccase and bacterial consortia is an effective remediation technology for heavy oil pollution. Adding laccase can significantly improve the heavy oil biodegradation efficiency and biodegradation rate of the bacterial consortia.

The aim of this work is to evaluate the incidence rate of the previous acclimatization of biomass and the presence of any other easily biodegradable substrates, such as sucrose. This experiment will be undertaken with sunflower oil biodegradation in a batch reactor with suspended biomass. It used a biomass concentration of 5000 mg/l in batch reactors, and in every condition the elimination of oil by means of biodegradation was achieved with levels ranging from 10 to 90 % It was noticed that sludge acclimation substantially improves biodegradation efficiency by increasing the average biodegradation from a value of 30% to 80%. When adding sucrose to an acclimatized biomass stage, biodegradation sunflower oil is reduced, from an average value of 80% to 60%.

Antagonistic Interactions

ABSTRACT In nature, microbes interact antagonistically, neutrally, or beneficially. To shed light on the effects of positive interactions in microbial consortia, we introduced metabolic dependencies and metabolite overproduction into four bacterial species. While antagonistic interactions govern the wild-type consortium behavior, the genetic modifications alleviated antagonistic interactions and resulted in beneficial interactions. Engineered cross-feeding increased population evenness, a component of ecological diversity, in different environments, including in a more complex gnotobiotic mouse gut environment. Our findings suggest that metabolite cross-feeding could be used as a tool for intentionally shaping microbial consortia in complex environments. IMPORTANCE Microbial communities are ubiquitous in nature. Bacterial consortia live in and on our body and in our environment, and more recently, biotechnology is applying microbial consortia for bioproduction. As part of our body, bacterial consortia influence us in health and disease. Microbial consortium function is determined by its composition, which in turn is driven by the interactions between species. Further understanding of microbial interactions will help us in deciphering how consortia function in complex environments and may enable us to modify microbial consortia for health and environmental benefits.

Biodegradation Efficiency

The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of Triton X-100 on the biodegradation efficiency of hexadecane and phenanthrene carried out by two bacterial consortia. It was established that the tested consortia were not able to directly uptake compounds closed in micelles. It was observed that in micellar systems the nonionic synthetic surfactant was preferentially degraded (the degradation efficiency of Triton X-100 after 21 days was 70% of the initial concentration - 500 mg/l), followed by a lesser decomposition of hydrocarbon released from the micelles (30% for hexadecane and 20% for phenanthrene). However, when hydrocarbons were used as the sole carbon source, 70% of hexadecane and 30% of phenanthrene were degraded. The degradation of the surfactant did not contribute to notable shifts in bacterial community dynamics, as determined by Real-Time PCR. The obtained results suggest that if surfactant-supplementation is to be used as an integral part of a bioremediation process, then possible bioavailability decrease due to entrapment of the contaminant into surfactant micelles should also be taken into consideration, as this phenomenon may have a negative impact on the biodegradation efficiency. Surfactant-induced mobilization of otherwise recalcitrant hydrocarbons may contribute to the spreading of contaminants in the environment and prevent their biodegradation.
