Enhanced Tolerance to Cadmium in Bacterial-Fungal Co-Cultures as a Strategy for Metal Biorecovery from e-Waste

Abstract: Abstract:We investigated a microbe-based approach to be used for the biorecovery of valuable metals from e-waste. E-waste is a heterogeneous matrix at the microbial scale. Therefore, this study aims at taking advantage of bacterial-fungal (BF) interactions in order to mobilize and immobilize a selected metal present in e-waste. We used cadmium (Cd) and a selection of Cd-tolerant microorganisms from our culture collection or isolated from a naturally cadmium-contaminated soil. Several experiments were designed … Show more

“…This enhancement could be related to the degradation of phenolics by T. harzianum MT2. In agreement, previous reports show that co-cultures of bacteria and fungi have advantages in terms of resistance to toxic compounds (Losa and Bindschedler, 2018). These results are relevant since they indicate that the biomass for the first stage of sequential co-cultures can also be produced in vinasse allowing a higher utilization of vinasse and lower costs of production.…”

“…With the acidification of the medium increases the mobility of metals, including zinc. These fungi can concentrate several ions such as Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn and Ni [62]. The use of agro-industrial residues is strongly influenced by the presence of minerals.…”

“…As e-waste is a highly complex mixture of various toxic heavy metals, noble metals and plastics, understanding the effect of bacterial-fungal interactions on these materials is important to control the release of toxic side products. This was studied by Losa and Bindschedler [19], who assessed the synergistic bioremediation capabilities of bacterial-fungal couples to mobilize and immobilize cadmium in e-waste. They suggested that using microbial consortia, rather than single species, represents an innovative alternative to traditional bioremediation approaches, especially for the development of new biotechnological approaches in urban mining.…”
