Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to optimize the conditions and investigate the effects in bioremediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil by Cr(VI)-reducing bacteria,and to provide reference in practical remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil. The single factor experiments,the pot experiments,high-throughput sequencing and qPCR methods were used to study the optimal conditions for the bioremediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil by Microbacterium sp. BD6,the toxicity to plants before and after remediation,and the effects on soil microbial community in the soil. The experiments showed that the Cr(VI)reduction rate of 100 mg Cr(VI)/kg contaminated soil by strain BD6 was above 90% in 96 h under the conditions of soil moisture content 30% and temperature 25℃- 40℃. Strain BD6 still reduced Cr(VI)in presence of other heavy metal ions,but the reduction effects were impacted. Cr(VI)restrained the height,germination rate and other indicators of soybean plant. The toxicity of the soil remediated by strain BD6 was reduced,the growth of plants was significantly improved,and the chromium content in plants significantly decreased. The microbial abundance and diversity in Cr(VI)-contaminated soil were significantly lower than those in non-contaminated soil. The microbial abundance and diversity of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil after remediation by strain BD6 increased with the bioremediation proceeded continuously. In conclusion,strain BD6 can be used as a potential candidate strain for the remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated soil in the future.
