Aerobic Se(IV) reducing bacteria and their reducing characteristics in estuarine sediment
SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT(2024)
摘要
Microorganisms play a critical role in the biogeochemical cycling of selenium in natural ecosystems, particularly in reducing selenite (Se(IV)) to element selenium (Se(0)) which reduces its mobility and bioavailability. However, Se(IV)-reducing bacteria and their reducing characteristics in estuarine sediments remain inadequately understood. In this study, the reduction of Se(IV) was confirmed to be microbially driven through the cultivation of a mixture of estuarine sediment and Se(IV) under aerobic conditions. Community analysis indicates that Bacillus was primarily involved in the reduction of Se(IV). A strain with high salt tolerance (7.5 % NaCl) and Se (IV) resistance (up to 200 mM), Bacillus cereus SD1, was isolated from an estuarine sediment. The reduction of Se (IV) occurred concomitantly with the onset of microbial growth, and reduction capacity increased approximately 5 -fold by adjusting the pH. In addition, Se(IV) reduction in Bacillus cereus SD1 was significantly inhibited by sulfite, and the key enzyme activity tests revealed the possible presence of a sulfite reductase-mediated Se(IV) reduction pathway. These research findings provide new insights into the bioreducing characteristics and the biogeochemical cycling of selenium in estuarine environments.
