Abstract
Agricultural soils in the black soil region of northeast China often face negative stress due to low temperatures, pesticide contamination, and inadequate nutrient supply. In this study, a new cold-tolerant strain of Peribacillus simplex C1 (C1) was selectively isolated from atrazine contaminated soil. The artificially constructed microbial consortium (CPD) [C1, phosphorus-solubilizing bacterium Enterobacter sp. P1, and atrazine-degrading bacterium Acinetobacter lwoffii DNS32] demonstrated the most effective performance in enhancing atrazine degradation and phosphorus-solubilizing capacity when the initial inoculation ratio of 5:1:2 at 15 °C. CPD enhanced energy-related metabolic pathways and increased choline production to regulate bacterial adaptation to temperature decrease. Additionally, the strains could selectively utilize carbon sources (low molecular weight organic acids) or nitrogen sources (some metabolites of atrazine) provided by each other to enhance growth. Furthermore, strain C1 enhanced membrane fluidity through increased expression of the unsaturated fatty acids. Pot experiments demonstrated that CPD assisted soybean seedlings in resisting dual stresses of low temperature and atrazine contamination by inducing the expression of genes related to photosynthesis, membrane permeability, phosphorus response, and cold tolerance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
