the environment that are present
in unnaturally high concentrations
• Examples:
• crude oil
• refined oil
• phosphates
• heavy metals
•Xenobiotics
• chemically synthesized
compounds that have never
occurred in nature.

What is bioremediation?
The use of microbes (bacteria and fungi) and plants to break down or degrade toxic chemical compounds that have accumulated in the environment into less toxic or non toxic substances
![Page 10: General overview of Bioremediation Remediation Workshop File… · General overview of Bioremediation Damase Khasa ... •heavy metals •Xenobiotics •chemically synthesized compounds](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa58f377f8b9a517d8d6684/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
History of Bioremediation
• ~1900 Advent of biological processes to treat organics derived from human or animal wastes
• ~1950 Approaches to extend wastewater treatment to industrial wastes
• ~1960 Investigations into the bioremediation of synthetic chemicals in wastewaters
• ~1970 Application in hydrocarbon contamination such as oil spills and petroleum in groundwater (more pollution than the natural microbial processes could degrade the pollutants)
• ~1980 Investigations of bioremediation applications for substituted organics
• ~1990 Natural Attenuation of ’70 and ’90
• ~2000 Development of in situ bioremediation; source zone reduction; bioaugmentation
• ~2003 Genomics era of Bioremediation (Cleaning up with genomics by Derek R.Lovley 2003. Nature Reviews 1: 35-44)

Types or techniques of bioremediation
1) Ex situ bioremediation: contaminants are treated off site
2) In situ bioremediation: contaminants are treated on site
• Natural Attenuation (slow process, not complete enough, not frequently occurring enough to be broadly used for some compounds, especially very difficult or recalcitrant substances)
• Enhanced Bioremediation or Biostimulation is to stimulate/enhance a site’s indigenous subsurface microorganisms by the addition of nutrients (amendments) and electron acceptors such as P, N, O2, C (e.g., in the form of molasses, biochar)
• Bioaugmentation is necessary when metabolic capabilities of microorganisms are not naturally present. Commercially prepared bacterial strains with specific catabolic activities are added (Novozymes Biologicals is a leader in the isolation and selection of novel microbial consortia, +25,000 characterized strains)
• Phytoremediation: extraction of soil pollutants by roots and accumulation or transformation by plants, e.g., hyperaccumulators
![Page 12: General overview of Bioremediation Remediation Workshop File… · General overview of Bioremediation Damase Khasa ... •heavy metals •Xenobiotics •chemically synthesized compounds](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa58f377f8b9a517d8d6684/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The advantages of bioremediation
over other technologies
• permanence
• contaminant is degraded
• potentially low cost
•60-90% less than other technologies (No additional
disposal costs)
• Low maintenance
•Does not create an eyesore
•Capable of impacting source zones and thus, decreasing
site clean-up time

Economics of in-situ vs. ex-situ
remediation of contaminated soils
•Cost of treating contaminated soil in
place $80-$100 per ton
•Cost of excavating and trucking
contaminated soil off for incineration
is $400 per ton.
•Over 90% of the chemical substances
classified as hazardous today can be
biodegraded.

Some challenges for bioremediation of pollutants
and xenobiotics
•Pollutants
•may exist at high, toxic
concentrations
•degradation may
depend on another
nutrient that is in limiting
supply
•Xenobiotics
•microbes may not yet
have evolved
biochemical pathways to
degrade compounds
•may require a
consortium of microbial
populations
![Page 16: General overview of Bioremediation Remediation Workshop File… · General overview of Bioremediation Damase Khasa ... •heavy metals •Xenobiotics •chemically synthesized compounds](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa58f377f8b9a517d8d6684/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Fundamentals of biodegradation reactions
• Aerobic bioremediation
• Microbes use O2 in their metabolism to degrade
contaminants
• Anaerobic bioremediation
• Microbes substitute another chemical for O2 to
degrade contaminants
• Nitrate, iron, sulfate, carbon dioxide, uranium,
technicium, perchlorate
• Cometabolic bioremediation microbes do not gain
energy or carbon from degrading a contaminant.
Instead, the contaminant is degraded via a side
reaction
![Page 17: General overview of Bioremediation Remediation Workshop File… · General overview of Bioremediation Damase Khasa ... •heavy metals •Xenobiotics •chemically synthesized compounds](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa58f377f8b9a517d8d6684/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Bioremediation involves the production of energy in a
redox reaction within microbial cells: an energy source
(electron donor), an electron acceptor, and nutrients.
![Page 18: General overview of Bioremediation Remediation Workshop File… · General overview of Bioremediation Damase Khasa ... •heavy metals •Xenobiotics •chemically synthesized compounds](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa58f377f8b9a517d8d6684/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Electron Donors
• Alcohols and acids
• Almost any common fermentable compound
• Hydrogen apparently universal electron donor,
but no universal substrate
• Hydrocarbon contaminants
• Surfactants
• Etc.

How Microbes Use the Contaminant
• Contaminants may serve as:
• Primary substrate
• enough available to be the sole energy source
• Secondary substrate
• provides energy, not available in high enough concentration
• Cometabolic substrate
• fortuitous transformation of a compound by a microbe relying on some other primary substrate (Cometabolism is generally a slow process). Bacterium uses some other carbon and energy source to partially degrade contaminant (organic aromatic ring compound)

Phytoremediation
• Drawbacks
• Only surface soil (root zone) can be treated
• Cleanup takes several years

Conclusions
• Many factors control biodegradability of a contaminant in the environment
• Before attempting to employ bioremediation technology, one needs to
conduct a thorough characterization of the environment where the
contaminant exists, including the microbiology, geochemistry, mineralogy,
geophysics, and hydrology of the system
• Most organics are biodegradable, but biodegradation requires specific conditions: important to understand the physical and chemical characteristics of the contaminants of interest
• There is no Superbug: understand the possible catabolic pathways of
metabolism and the organisms that possess that capability (functional
genomics and specifically metabolomics)

Conclusions
•Contaminants must be bioavailable and in optimal
concentrations
•Biodegradation rate and extent is controlled by “limiting
factors”: pH, temperature, water content, nutrient
availability, Redox Potential and oxygen content
•Understand the environmental conditions required to:
•Promote growth of desirable organisms
•Provide for the expression of needed organisms
•Engineer the environmental conditions needed to establish favorable conditions and contact organisms and contaminants

Effects of Frankia inoculation on plant height
(Height), root collar diameter (RCD), and stem
volume of green alder outplanted on Syncrude
W2 site (relatively better reclaimed site) after
three growing seasons. Each value is the
average of 24 seedlings (6 seedlings/replication).

Effects of Frankia inoculation on plant height
(Height), root collar diameter (RCD), and seedling
volume rate of green alder outplanted on
Syncrude saline-alkaline harsh (Cell 46) after
three growing seasons. Each value is the
average of 24 seedlings (6 seedlings/replication).

Effects of Frankia inoculation on stem volume of
green alder outplanted on Syncrude saline-alkaline
harsh site (cell 46) and W2 site after three growing
seasons. The data shows percent (%) increase in
mean stem volume over control treatment on both
sites

Conclusions and future prospects1. The study of root symbioses in phytoremediation
will help understand their sensitivity, tolerance
and coadaptation capacity under stress
2. The biotechnology of root symbioses on
contaminated soils will help understand and
measure their impact on:
a) the microbial density and diversity in the
rhizosphere,
b) the microbial degradation of contaminants,
c) the global soil quality (phytotoxicity,
nutrients).

Conclusions and future prospects3. Appropriate experimental approaches are
needed to assess the potential of these
microorganisms in the management of
disturbed soils following industrial activity.
4. Methagenomics, functional genomics
(proteomics, transcriptomics and
metabololomics) approaches will
revolutionize the traditional studies of soil
microbial ecology and de novo
bioremediation
