“…These conditions are found to impact biodegradation processes severely. Hence, the addition of suitable chemicals (having mild to minimum oxido-reductive potential) is recommended to adjust the pH before application of microbes for bioremediation like ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrate for alkaline soil and liming with calcium or magnesium carbonate for acidic sites ( Bowlen et al, 1995 ; Gupta and Sar, 2020 ).…”

Low molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) like naphthalene and substituted naphthalenes (methylnaphthalene, naphthoic acids, 1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate, etc.) are used in various industries and exhibit genotoxic, mutagenic, and/or carcinogenic effects on living organisms. These synthetic organic compounds (SOCs) or xenobiotics are considered as priority pollutants that pose a critical environmental and public health concern worldwide. The extent of anthropogenic activities like emissions from coal gasification, petroleum refining, motor vehicle exhaust, and agricultural applications determine the concentration, fate, and transport of these ubiquitous and recalcitrant compounds. Besides physicochemical methods for cleanup/removal, a green and eco-friendly technology like bioremediation, using microbes with the ability to degrade SOCs completely or convert to non-toxic by-products, has been a safe, cost-effective, and promising alternative. Various bacterial species from soil flora belonging to Proteobacteria (Pseudomonas, Pseudoxanthomonas, Comamonas, Burkholderia, and Novosphingobium), Firmicutes (Bacillus and Paenibacillus), and Actinobacteria (Rhodococcus and Arthrobacter) displayed the ability to degrade various SOCs. Metabolic studies, genomic and metagenomics analyses have aided our understanding of the catabolic complexity and diversity present in these simple life forms which can be further applied for efficient biodegradation. The prolonged persistence of PAHs has led to the evolution of new degradative phenotypes through horizontal gene transfer using genetic elements like plasmids, transposons, phages, genomic islands, and integrative conjugative elements. Systems biology and genetic engineering of either specific isolates or mock community (consortia) might achieve complete, rapid, and efficient bioremediation of these PAHs through synergistic actions. In this review, we highlight various metabolic routes and diversity, genetic makeup and diversity, and cellular responses/adaptations by naphthalene and substituted naphthalene-degrading bacteria. This will provide insights into the ecological aspects of field application and strain optimization for efficient bioremediation.

“…In addition, dissimilatory SO 2− 4 -reducing bacteria belonging to Desulfotomaculum and Desulfosporosinus further aid in reductive dissolution of poorly crystalline Fe (III)hydroxides (ferrihydrite, goethite), thus releasing Fe(II) in soil solution. Alternatively, microbe-mediated change in extracellular pH and E h promotes Fe solubilization at relatively lower pH, as in the case of acid mine drainage impacted soil/sediment (Gupta and Sar, 2020). On the other hand, under aerated/O 2 saturated conditions (aerobic rice cultivation), soil microbes engage in oxidation of Fe(II) (Fe-oxidizing bacteria) in many minerals under both acidic and neutrophilic conditions.…”

The indiscriminate and intensive use of agrochemicals in developing nations to enhance crop productivity has posed an alarming threat to soil quality, fertility, biodiversity, food safety, agricultural sustainability, and groundwater quality, thus critically affecting planetary health and food productivity. Additionally, both abiotic and biotic stresses and developmental disorders, i.e., disease susceptibility, hormonal imbalance, and nutritional deficiency, are the major constraints on crop productivity. In this context, the use of soil–plant associated microbiomes “phytomicrobiome,” especially rhizospheric microbiota, in combination with agronomic practices (nutrient, water, and resource management, as integrated management options: INM/IPM/IWM) is the most promising alternative for managing soil health and crop productivity. The global recognition of plant/soil-associated microbiome has generated substantial investment of public and private bodies to grow microbe-based food products. However, understanding the molecular, genetic, physiological, and ecological aspects of phytomicrobiome toward sustainable agriculture would require broad attention along with associated environmental/physico-chemical control points. The underpinning mechanisms of plant–microbe interactions are of immense significance for strategizing host selection (single culture/consortia) and its field application. Taxa such as Rhizobium, Pseudomonas, Alcaligenes, Burkholderia, Sphingomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, and Rhodococcus have emerged as promising plant growth-promoting (PGP) candidates with diverse beneficial traits, such as, producing phyto-hormones, volatile organics, antibiotics for disease suppression, N2-fixation, Fe uptake, and extracellular enzymes, but several physico-chemical constraints/extremities limit the field application (on-site) of such microbes. Hence, a detailed overview on genomic, physiological, metabolic, cellular, and ecological aspects is necessitated. Thorough insights into nutrient acquisition (especially limiting nutrients like Fe and P) during abiotic stress are still under-studied, so the use OMICS, robust bioinformatics pipeline/tools, might greatly revolutionize the field of PGP microbial ecology (complex plant–microbe interactions) for application in agricultural sustainability, nutritional security, and food safety. This review focusses on critical aspects of mechanisms of Fe and P transport-uptake (nutrient acquisition) by various PGP microbes, and their metabolism, genetics, and physiology relevant for managing stress and better crop production.

“…Sulfate (SO 4 2– ) is a common anion in natural waters and also a byproduct of the paper and food processing industries and extractive industries like coal and mineral mining. − High concentrations of sulfate can cause negative impacts on the environment and human health. For example, acid mine drainage (AMD) is a specific kind of sulfate-containing aqueous waste often produced by mining activities and is a historical and persistent environmental concern. ,− AMD is very high in sulfate, in some cases up to 1700 mg/L, and acidic, with pH values that typically range from 2 to 6, ,, though in extreme cases, they can even be negative .…”

Sulfate-rich wastewater poses ecological hazards to freshwater ecosystems, and sulfate is highly regulated in many Minnesota lakes. Biological sulfate reduction results in the reduction of sulfate to sulfide, and this process is used to remediate acid mine drainage. Theoretically, the aqueous sulfide can be immobilized into a solid-phase material and removed from the aqueous system. This study focuses on sulfide immobilization using iron-bearing waste minerals. Specifically, the extent of reaction of siderite (FeCO 3 ), an abundant ferrous mineral in some mining wastes, with sulfide was studied. Mildly acidic batch reactors containing powdered siderite were consecutively injected with a sodium sulfide solution. Solid reaction products were identified and characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive Xray spectroscopy. Mackinawite (FeS) appeared to be the most abundant product, with greigite (Fe 3 S 4 ) also detected. Results reveal that the immobilization capacity of sulfide by siderite is limited by the concentration of the Fe 2+ (aq) presented in the system immediately before the initial sulfide exposure as the Fe 2+ (aq) levels are not replenished after sulfidation. These results improve our understanding of the sulfidation of siderite and provide insight to improve the viability of using siderite-containing mining waste rock in a sulfate remediation technology.
