Project title:<\/strong> IRN 19676481 \u00ab Developing strategies for phytomanagement of xenobiotic-contaminated soils via PGPR-immobilized biochar and metagenomics synergy\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Relevance.\u00a0<\/strong>Biomass utilization marks the culmination of a «zero-waste» cycle in phytoremediation. Consequently, the trend towards selecting bioenergy crops for remediating TE-contaminated soils and devising methodologies for recycling contaminated biomass is gaining popularity in bioenergy. This pursuit centers on seeking alternative raw materials convertible into energy products, aligning with sustainable development in the bioeconomy.<\/p>\n

The goal of the project: <\/strong>To assess the impact of PGPR-immobilized biochar on physiological-biochemical properties, plant-microbial interactions, and rhizosphere microbiome of Miscanthus \u00d7 giganteus<\/em> (M\u00d7g<\/em>) utilizing metagenomic technology for improving efficacy of phytomanagement in xenobiotics-contaminated soils.<\/p>\n

Expected results<\/strong>: Employing metagenomic technology, the impact of PGPR-immobilized biochar on physiological-biochemical properties, plant-microbial interactions, and rhizosphere microbiome of Miscanthus \u00d7 giganteus<\/em> (M\u00d7g<\/em>) were examined.<\/p>\n

            Biochar is an effective pollutant sorbent that enhances soil fertility and plant growth by reducing nutrient leaching and improving their bioavailability. It also serves as a matrix for the immobilization of microorganisms, supporting their proliferation and biofilm formation, which makes biochar a promising carrier for the introduction of specialized decomposer microorganisms for the bioaugmentation of contaminated soils. Immobilization of microorganisms on various carriers, which increases their resistance to adverse conditions, can provide a basis for developing effective bioremediation methods, particularly in arid regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            To develop the technique for immobilizing microbial cells on the surface of biochar, three types of biochar were used: birch biochar, biochar from bottom sediments (SSP), and biochar from Miscanthus<\/em> stems at a concentration of 5% (w\/w). Two types of PGP microorganisms were used as immobilizers: Trichosporon<\/em> sp. CA1 and Rhizobium<\/em> sp. Zn1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The developed protocol for microbial cell immobilization on the surface of biochar included the following steps: determination of the optical density (OD) of the microbial suspension in a 0.9% NaCl solution and verification of its homogeneity before the immobilization procedure; comparison of OD changes in suspensions with different initial culture concentrations; assessment of the stability of microbial cell immobilization on the biochar surface by measuring the degree of desorption after re-incubation in fresh physiological solution; and evaluation of the viability of the cells immobilized on biochar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            It was established that the optical density of a 0.5% microbial suspension in 0.9% NaCl (volume 250 mL) was 1.02\u00b10.03. Comparison of 1% and 0.5% suspensions showed that at a 0.5% concentration, the immobilization efficiency reached 98.8% after 6 hours. Evaluation of the stability of cell immobilization on biochar from Miscanthus<\/em> stems (specific surface area \u2013 672 m\u00b2\/g, pore size \u2013 0.85 nm) showed a desorption rate of 3.87%. Comparative analysis of the efficiency of PGP microorganism immobilization on biochars of different origins indicated that microbial cells adhered better to biochars derived from plant material (birch biochar and Miscanthus<\/em> stem biochar) than to biochar from bottom sediments. These results highlight the need for a selective approach when choosing a sorbent for microbial culture immobilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
