“…It has long been known that high concentrations of aluminum, iron, and manganese in ASS (Houben et al 2019) produce toxic conditions for plant growth and limit productivity (Fahad et al 2019). The problem is more serious in paddy fields because the threat can spread in soil and water affecting soil fertility, water quality and human health in the wider environment (Neculita and Rosa 2019). In the pursuit of sustainable agricultural development, metal-resistant microorganisms have been studied for their ability to transform metals ions and heavy metals, and to reduce metal toxicity, cations and divalent cations (Nunkaew et al 2015;Nookongbut et al 2016Nookongbut et al , 2018Panhwar et al 2016;Sakpirom et al 2017Sakpirom et al , 2019Khuong et al 2018).…”

Resistance mechanisms of acid Mn 2+-resistant purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB) were investigated to determine their ability to alleviate adverse effects of excess manganese on plant growth and productivity in acid sulfate soils (ASS). PNSB were isolated and selected based on their resistance to acid and manganese. Their resistance mechanisms were assessed on the basis of biosorption, bioaccumulation, and plant growth promoting properties. Six PNSB were selected for their resistance to Mn 2+ in acidic conditions (pH 3.5-5.5). They were identified as Rhodopseudomonas palustris strains TLS12, VNS19, VNS32, VNS62, and VNW95, and Rhodopseudomonas harwoodiae strain TLW42. Under aerobic dark and microaerobic light incubating conditions in aqueous solution at pH 4.25 for 30 min, these strains adsorbed Mn 2+ (1500 mg L −1) more effectively with released exopolymeric substances (EPS) than with their biomass. Under both incubating conditions, bioaccumulation of Mn 2+ diminished in the following order: cell wall, cytoplasm, plasma membrane. Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS) found accumulated manganese (0.30-0.67% of total elements) in bacterial cells caused morphological change in the form of wrinkles and bleb-like features on exterior surfaces. All selected strains under both incubating conditions released NH 4 + by N 2 fixing and PO 4 3− by solubilizing phosphate from various P-sources. Siderophores, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were also released and pH increased. The studied strains showed potential as bioremediators that could reduce Mn 2+ toxicity using EPS and effectively release nutrients and plant growth promoting substances to improve cultivation and fertility in acidic conditions.

Drainage from current and historic mining operations remains a persistent environmental problem. Numerous research and development efforts were made in 2019 with a goal to minimize the impact of mine drainage on the environment, while other research endeavors addressed the mine drainage issue from a different perspective, where mine drainage was considered a resource for water and valuable products, such as metals, sulfuric acid, and rare earth elements. Thus, this review has two main sections: (a) focusing on research efforts in mine drainage remediation technology, and (b) emphasizing advances in resource recovery from mine drainage. The first section covers traditional and emerging passive and active treatment technologies. The second section summarizes resource recovery efforts using various technologies, such as selective precipitation, membrane process, and biological systems.

Many global mining activities release large amounts of acidic mine drainage with high levels of manganese (Mn) having potentially detrimental effects on the environment. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of the main implications and challenges of Mn(II) removal from mine drainage. We first present the sources of contamination from mineral processing, as well as the adverse effects of Mn on mining ecosystems. Then the comparison of several techniques to remove Mn(II) from wastewater, as well as an assessment of the challenges associated with precipitation, adsorption, and oxidation/filtration are provided. We also critically analyze remediation options with special emphasis on Mn-oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) and microalgae. Recent literature demonstrates that MnOB can efficiently oxidize dissolved Mn(II) to Mn(III, IV) through enzymatic catalysis. Microalgae can also accelerate Mn(II) oxidation through indirect oxidation by increasing solution pH and dissolved oxygen production during its growth. Microbial oxidation and the removal of Mn(II) have been effective in treating artificial wastewater and groundwater under neutral conditions with adequate oxygen. Compared to physicochemical techniques, the bioremediation of manganese mine drainage without the addition of chemical reagents is relatively inexpensive. However, wastewater from manganese mines is acidic and has low-levels of dissolved oxygen, which inhibit the oxidizing ability of MnOB. We propose an alternative treatment for manganese mine drainage that focuses on the synergistic interactions of Mn in wastewater with co-immobilized MnOB/microalgae.
