Trends in Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Contaminations
Parasakthi JEYAKUMAR,Chandrani DEBNATH,R Vijayaraghavan,Muthusivaramapandian MUTHURAJ 대한환경공학회 2023 Environmental Engineering Research Vol.28 No.4
Heavy metal contamination of the ecosystem remains one of the severe global threats. Even in trace quantities, heavy metals and metalloids such as chromium, lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel, and cobalt are toxic and carcinogenic, posing a serious threat to human life. Certain microbes and plants have evolved detoxifying pathways to fight the harmful effects of these inorganic metals, paving the door for bioremediation. Because of its environmentally benign nature, economic viability, and low labor and effort requirements, bioremediation outperforms other approaches in eliminating heavy metals. This review highlights the potential of microbes on remediation of heavy metals in the context of environmental protection and also focuses on the critical tolerance mechanisms used by these microbes in combating heavy metal contaminations. Furthermore, the bioremediation potential of bacteria, fungus, algae, plants, biosurfactants, biofilms and genetically altered microorganisms for the removal of these heavy metals was reviewed in this study. Applying these techniques as a sustainable environmental technology in the near future has shown synergistic benefits with a many-fold increase in the removal of heavy metals.
Enhanced lipid content in Chlorella sp. FC2 IITG via high energy irradiation mutagenesis
Debasish Das,Baskar Selvaraj,Basavaraj Palabhanvi,Vikram Kumar,Muthusivaramapandian Muthuraj 한국화학공학회 2019 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.36 No.1
High energy ultra-violet radiation was used to induce mutations in the wild type strain Chlorella sp. FC2 IITG and the mutants obtained were screened for enhanced lipid content targeted towards biodiesel production. Screening of mutants under nitrogen starved photoautotrophic condition showed five mutant strains with higher lipid content as compared to the wild type strain. Maximum neutral lipid content of 22.26% (w/w, DCW) was found for FC2-25UV mutant strain, which was 48.4% higher than that of wild type culture. Further characterization under photoautotrophic two stage high cell density cultivation of lipid rich FC2-25UV resulted in total lipid content of 68% (w/w, DCW), which was 21.43% higher than the wild type strain with a marginal improvement of 11% in the total lipid productivity. Comparison of enzyme activity assays under nitrogen starved conditions in both the strains revealed an 18.2% and 31.25% increase in acetyl CoA carboxylase and di-acyl-glycerol transferase activity of mutant. The FAME composition analysis showed 41.5% and 24% increase in the fractions of C18:2 and C18:1 in the mutant strain when compared to the wild type strain with no significant difference in the other FAME fractions. Thus, the mutant strain could be a potential candidate for biodiesel production.
