Bioremediation of an oxyfluorfen-polluted soil using biostimulants obtained by fermentation processes: Effect on biological properties.
Description
We report a study of the bioremediation of two biostimulants obtained from sewage
sludge by fermentation processes in a oxyfluorfen-polluted soil over a 72-day period
under laboratory conditions. The effects thereof on enzymatic activities, bacterial
community and the evolution of oxyfluorfen in soil are determined. At the end of the
experiment, and compared with the non-polluted soil, dehydrogenase, urease, βglucosidase, and phosphatase activities in the oxyfluorfen-polluted soil decreased by
58.3%, 30.4%, 44.7%, and 48%. The application of oxyfluorfen decreased the
relative abundance of the Firmicutes (24.5%) and Acidobacteria (8.3%) phyla, and
increased the relative abundance of the Gaiellales order (Actinobacteria phylum).
The application of both biostimulants to the soil increased the relative abundance of
the Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi and Proteobacteria phyla and decreased the relative
abundance of the Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria phyla. The relative abundance of
the Chloroflexi, Firmicutes and Proteobacteria phyla increased when applying the
experimental biostimulants in the polluted soil. Application of both biostimulants
decreased soil oxyflurofen concentration, suggesting that the use of both
biostimulants with higher amounts of low molecular weight proteins and peptides
could be very useful on the remediation of oxyfluorfen-polluted soils.
