“…Bioremediation is the most common ecologically sound biological technique to improve the natural degradation process [16]. Contamination through HM in soil and water is a major problem in developing countries, so phytoremediation is the best possible method for regions with large and moderate levels of concentration, rather than regions with high concentrations in little volume [17].…”

Bioremediation of Aquatic Environments Contaminated with Heavy Metals: A Review of Mechanisms, Solutions and Perspectives

The degradation of water resources is related to anthropic actions such as rapid urbanization and industrial and agricultural activities with inefficient land use and occupation management. Water pollution caused by organic and inorganic contaminants represents a current challenge for researchers and humanity. One of the techniques used to remove pollutants from aquatic environments is bioremediation, through the metabolism of living organisms, and especially phytoremediation, with plants as a decontamination agent. Aiming to demonstrate the current mechanisms, solutions, and perspectives regarding bioremediation, and especially phytoremediation in aquatic environments, a literature review was conducted, highlighting the following subjects: heavy metals as contaminants, phytoremediation, evaluation of resistance mechanisms, removal of heavy metals by microorganisms and biofilters of the artificial floating islands type. From the literature research carried out, it can be concluded that alternatives such as macrophyte plants have proved to be an effective and efficient alternative with a high potential for removal of contaminants in aquatic environments, including concomitantly with microorganisms. There was no mechanism well-defined for specific absorption of heavy metals by plants; however, some results can indicate that if there was sporadic contamination with some contaminants, the plants can be indicators with some adsorption and absorption, even with low concentration in the watercourse by the moment of the evaluation. It is necessary to study bioremediation methods, resistance mechanisms, tolerance, and removal efficiencies for each biological agent chosen. Within the bioremediation processes of aquatic environments, the use of macrophyte plants with a high capacity for phytoremediation of metals, used combined with bioremediating microorganisms, such as biofilters, is an interesting perspective to remove contaminants.

“…Hence, the solution should be green environment-friendly, cost-effective, easy, reliable, sustainable, and readily available. “Bioremediation” [ 11 ] presents a readily available option, potentially, fulfilling these mentioned requirements. The biological process of “bioremediation” uses micro-organisms (bacteria or fungi or both) that are already inhabitants in the near soil or water environment, where the micro-organism’s whole cell or their isolated enzymes act upon trace pharmaceuticals converting them into less harmful (harmless) forms.…”

We isolated two novel bacterial strains, active against the environmental pollutant acetaminophen/Paracetamol®. Streptomyces chrestomyceticus (symbol RS2) and Flavofuscus (symbol M33) collected from El-Natrun Valley, Egypt—water, sediment, and sand samples, taxonomically characterized using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Genotypic identification, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis followed by BLAST alignment, were deposited on the NCBI as 2 novel strains https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/OM665324 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/OM665325. The phylogenetic tree was constructed. Acetaminophen secondary or intermediate product’s chemical structure was identified by GC/LC MS. Some selected acetaminophen secondary-product extracts and derived compounds were examined against a panel of test micro-organisms and fortunately showed a good anti-microbial effect. In silico chemo-informatics Swiss ADMET evaluation was used in the selected bio-degradation extracts for absorption (gastric), distribution (to CNS), metabolism (hepatic), excretion (renal), and finally not toxic, being non-mutagenic/teratogenic or genotoxic, virtually. Moreover, in vitro cytotoxic activity of these selected bio-degradation secondary products was examined against HepG2 and MCF7 cancer cell lines, where M33 and RS2 extract effects on acetaminophen/paracetamol bio-degradation products were safe, with higher IC50 on HepG2 and MCF7 than the acetaminophen/paracetamol IC50 of 108.5 μg/ml. Moreover, an in vivo oral acute single-dose toxicity experiment was conducted, to confirm these in vitro and in silico lower toxicity (better safety) than acetaminophen/paracetamol.
