“…Therefore, breeding transgenic, hyperaccumulative plants encoding for POP-degrading enzymes may foster certain potential in the phytoremediation of these pollutants. The adverse impact of DO and P on the biomass of aerial parts of Zea mays in the present study was weaker in sandy loam (SL) than in loamy sand (LS), probably due to the stronger binding of petroleum-derived hydrocarbons with soil particles in SL than in LS and, consequently, due to their lower bioavailability [ 107 ]. The analyzed sorbents were more effective in mitigating the adverse effects of DO than P on Zea mays , which was due to the less toxic effects of P than DO on this crop.…”

“…Native plants are preferred in this case, as they easily adapt to the local climate conditions, thereby increasing the chances for successive phytoremediation [ 105 ]. The plants intended for phytoremediation should have a well-developed root system [ 18 , 27 ], e.g., those from the Poaceae family [ 21 , 27 , 30 , 106 , 107 , 108 ] used for the phytoremediation of soils polluted with petroleum-derived hydrocarbons. This plant family also includes Zea mays , used in the present study.…”

The Usability of Sorbents in Restoring Enzymatic Activity in Soils Polluted with Petroleum-Derived Products

Due to their ability to adsorb or absorb chemical pollutants, including organic compounds, sorbents are increasingly used in the reclamation of soils subjected to their pressure, which results from their high potential in eliminating xenobiotics. The precise optimization of the reclamation process is required, focused primarily on restoring the condition of the soil. This research are essential for seeking materials sufficiently potent to accelerate the remediation process and for expanding knowledge related to biochemical transformations that lead to the neutralization of these pollutants. The goal of this study was to determine and compare the sensitivity of soil enzymes to petroleum-derived products in soil sown with Zea mays, remediated using four sorbents. The study was conducted in a pot experiment, with loamy sand (LS) and sandy loam (SL) polluted with VERVA diesel oil (DO) and VERVA 98 petrol (P). Soil samples were collected from arable lands, and the effects of the tested pollutants were compared with those used as control uncontaminated soil samples in terms of Zea mays biomass and the activity of seven enzymes in the soil. The following sorbents were applied to mitigate DO and P effects on the test plants and enzymatic activity: molecular sieve (M), expanded clay (E), sepiolite (S), and Ikasorb (I). Both DO and P exerted a toxic effect on Zea mays, with DO more strongly disturbing its growth and development and the activities of soil enzymes than P. In sandy clay (SL), P was found to be a significant inhibitor of dehydrogenases (Deh), catalase (Cat), urease (Ure), alkaline phosphatase (Pal), and arylsulfatase (Aryl) activities, while DO stimulated the activity of all enzymes in this soil. The study results suggest that the sorbents tested, mainlya molecular sieve, may be useful in remediating DO-polluted soils, especially when alleviating the effects of these pollutants in soils of lower agronomic value.

“…The bio-stimulation of soil microorganisms with nutrients N and P, humidity and aeration increased the decomposition of hydrocarbons and fostered the bioremediation of the drill cuttings [56]. Lin et al (2022) [57] found that the soil pH and conductivity increased during the bioremediation experiment.…”

Microbial communities are known to play a principal role in petroleum degradation. This study tries to determine the composition of bacteria in selected crude oil-contaminated soil from Tabasco and Tamaulipas states, Mexico. We determined the microbial populations living under these conditions. We evaluated the structure and diversity of bacterial communities in the contaminated soil samples. The most abundant phylum is proteobacteria. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis of the sampled soils from both states revealed that this phylum has the most relative abundance among the identified bacteria phyla. The heatmap represented the relative percentage of each genus within each sample and clustered the four samples into two groups. Moreover, this allowed us to identify many genera in alkaline soil from Tamaulipas, such as Skermanella sp., Azospirillum sp. and Unclassified species from the Rhodospirillaceae family in higher abundance. Meanwhile, in acidic soil from Tabasco, we identified Thalassospira, Unclassified members of the Sphingomonadaceae family and Unclassified members of the Alphaproteobacteria class with higher abundance. Alpha diversity analysis showed a low diversity (Shannon and Simpson index); Chao observed species in both Regions. These results suggest that the bacteria identified in these genera may possess the ability to degrade petroleum, and further studies in the future should elucidate their role in petroleum degradation.

“…In order to enhance the bioremediation efficiency of petroleum-contaminated soil, Lin et al (2022) selected five test groups for comparison in this study, including native bacteria, Acinetobacter venetianus (A.V. ), Vetiveria zizanioides L., and combinations of Vetiveria zizanioides L. with Acinetobacter venetianus and biochar (Figure 3B) [16]. The results showed that after six months of bioremediation, there was no significant difference in the removal efficiency of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) between the native bacteria group and the A.V.…”

Global agricultural production is facing unprecedented challenges as the environment becomes increasingly polluted. Governments, scientists, companies and farmers are beginning to focus on appropriate environmental remediation and sustainable agricultural technologies and practices. Innovative environmental adaptation/remediation technologies have been developed and validated, including physical/chemical remediation, green sorbents and bioremediation. The development of environmental remediation technologies has provided additional tools and methods for global agri-environment and food security. The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together 21 cutting-edge research papers covering the latest developments in soil conditions, inorganic pollution, organic pollution, remediation technologies and monitoring methods. The four themes of the Special Issue are “Improvement of agricultural soil properties”, “Remediation of potentially toxic element pollution”, “Remediation of organic pollution” and “Ecosystem and crop assessment”. Based on the results of this Special Issue, we find that combining the latest environmental pollution problems with advanced remediation technologies, continuously promoting technological innovation and policy support, and developing integrated new technologies for environmental protection will be future areas of research for sustainable agro-environmental development.
