Project description:Xiangjiang River (Hunan, China) has been contaminated with heavy metal for several decades by surrounding factories. However, little is known about the influence of a gradient of heavy metal contamination on the diversity, structure of microbial functional gene in sediment. To deeply understand the impact of heavy metal contamination on microbial community, a comprehensive functional gene array (GeoChip 5.0) has been used to study the functional genes structure, composition, diversity and metabolic potential of microbial community from three heavy metal polluted sites of Xiangjiang River.

Project description:Analysis of microbial gene expression in response to physical and chemical gradients forming in the Columbia River, estuary, plume and coastal ocean was done in the context of the environmental data base. Gene expression was analyzed for 2,234 individual genes that were selected from fully sequenced genomes of 246 prokaryotic species (bacteria and archaea) as related to the nitrogen metabolism and carbon fixation. Seasonal molecular portraits of differential gene expression in prokaryotic communities during river-to-ocean transition were created using freshwater baseline samples (268, 270, 347, 002, 006, 207, 212). Total RNA was isolated from 64 filtered environmental water samples collected in the Columbia River coastal margin during 4 research cruises (14 from August, 2007; 17 from November, 2007; 18 from April, 2008; and 16 from June, 2008), and analyzed using microarray hybridization with the CombiMatrix 4X2K format. Microarray targets were prepared by reverse transcription of total RNA into fluorescently labeled cDNA. All samples were hybridized in duplicate, except samples 212 and 310 (hybridized in triplicate) and samples 336, 339, 50, 152, 157, and 199 (hybridized once). Sample location codes: number shows distance from the coast in km; CR, Columbia River transect in the plume and coastal ocean; NH, Newport Hydroline transect in the coastal ocean at Newport, Oregon; AST and HAM, Columbia River estuary locations near Astoria (river mile 7-9) and Hammond (river mile 5), respectively; TID, Columbia River estuary locations in the tidal basin (river mile 22-23); BA, river location at Beaver Army Dock (river mile 53) near Quincy, Oregon; UP, river location at mile 74.

Project description:Globally, multiple heavy metal contamination is an increasingly common problem. As heavy metals have the potential to disrupt microbially-mediated biogeochemical cycling, it is critical to understand their impact on microbial physiology. However, systems-level studies on the effects of a combination of heavy metals on bacteria are lacking. Here, we use a native Bacillus cereus isolate from the subsurface of the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR; Oak Ridge, TN, USA) subsurface— representing a highly abundant species at the site— to assess the combined impact of eight metal contaminants. Using this metal mixture and individual metals, all at concentrations based on the ORR site geochemistry, we performed growth experiments and proteomic analyses of the B. cereus strain, in combination with targeted MS-based metabolomics and gene expression profiling. We found that the combination of eight metals impacts cell physiology in a manner that could not have been predicted from summing phenotypic responses to the individual metals. Specifically, exposure to the metal mixture elicited global iron starvation responses not observed in any of the individual metal treatments. As nitrate is also a significant contaminant at the ORR site and nitrate and nitrite reductases are iron-containing enzymes, we also examined the effects of the metal mixture on reduction of nitrogen oxides. We found that the metal mixture inhibits the activity of these enzymes through a combination of direct enzymatic damage and post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation. Altogether, these data suggest that metal mixture studies are critical for understanding how multiple rather than individual metals influence microbial processes in the environment.

Project description:<p> Soil contamination with heavy metals, particularly lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), has become a growing environmental concern due to rapid industrialization. Salix matsudana, a woody energy plant with notable tolerance to heavy metals, exhibits considerable potential for use in phytoremediation. Although nitrogen (N) fertilization is known to promote the growth of S. matsudana, its dual role in enhancing plant development and improving soil conditions remains insufficiently understood. In this study, we systematically examined the effects of varying nitrogen fertilizer concentrations on the growth of S. matsudana, heavy metal uptake, and rhizosphere soil characteristics through integrated physiological and multi-omics approaches. Our findings revealed that high nitrogen levels significantly increased plant biomass and the accumulation of Pb and Cd compared to control conditions. Detailed physiological analyses demonstrated enhanced heavy metal absorption in roots under nitrogen fertilization. Microbial community analysis further indicated that nitrogen application altered rhizosphere microbial activity, particularly enriching bacterial taxa associated with metal mobilization. Metabolomic profiling corroborated improvements in soil quality, showing significant changes in organic acid metabolites involved in metal chelation. These results provide new insights into the mechanisms by which nitrogen fertilization synergistically enhances both the growth of S. matsudana and the efficiency of soil remediation, offering valuable guidance for optimizing phytoremediation strategies in heavy metal-contaminated environments.</p>
