Article Abstract

The exploration of microbial resources to reduce Pb accumulation in rice attracted great attention. In this study, we found Penicillium oxalicum SL2, a Pb-tolerant strain with good capability of dissolving phosphorus and stabilizing Pb in soil, was able to colonize on the root surface of rice seedlings without additional carbon sources, and promoted the secretion of metabolites related to amino acid metabolism, organic acid metabolism, signal transduction and other pathways in rhizosphere exudates, in which the secretion of oxalate increased by 47.7 %. However, P. oxalicum SL2 increased Fe(II) proportion and Fe availability on the root surface, resulting in iron plaque content decrease. Moreover, by converting root surface Pb from Pb-Fe state to PbCO and Pb-P compounds, P. oxalicum SL2 increased Pb intercept capacity of iron plaque by 118.0 %. Furthermore, P. oxalicum SL2 regulated element distribution on the root surface, and reduced the relative content of Pb on the maturation zone of root tip, which was conducive to reducing Pb uptake by apoplastic pathway and the risk of Pb accumulation in root system. Our findings further revealed the interaction between P. oxalicum SL2 and rice root, providing a theoretical basis for the development and application of microbial agents in Pb-contaminated farmland.

Article Synopsis
  • Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) struggles with Cr(VI) remediation due to issues like aggregation, but a filamentous fungus (SL2) shows promise by activating nZVI for effective chromium removal.
  • The combined action of SL2 and nZVI achieved high Cr(VI) removal rates (89.1%) through nonenzymatic reduction processes and the solubilization of iron precipitates.
  • SL2's adaptations, like enhancing organic acid secretion and regulating iron transport, help in reducing Cr(VI) levels, while also providing antioxidant effects that protect the fungus from Cr(VI) toxicity, making this combined method a viable strategy for environmental cleanup.

Article Synopsis
  • Penicillium oxalicum SL2 shows potential for bioremediation of lead (Pb) contamination by affecting Pb morphology and stressing responses to Pb exposure.
  • The study found that Pb stabilization varies based on nutrient availability: with sufficient phosphorus, Pb stabilizes as Pb(PO) or Pb(PO)Cl; with sulfur sufficiency, it forms PbSO; and with deficiencies in both, it turns into PbCO.
  • Proteomic and metabolomic analyses revealed 578 proteins and 194 metabolites linked to Pb tolerance in P. oxalicum SL2, highlighting processes like chitin synthesis and sulfur metabolism which enhance Pb stabilization through various mechanisms.
