Abstract:

Thiocyanate(SCN-)is a common pollutant in gold mine,textile,dyeing and coking industries,is toxic and harmful to biological safety. At present,with the development of modern biotechnology,the community structure,genetic and metabolic diversity of thiocyanate degradation by microorganisms have been clarified through high-throughput sequencing,transcriptome sequencing,DNA fingerprinting and targeted gene amplification,which indicates that thiocyanate degradation by microorganisms is the most feasible approach for remediation. In this paper,the types of thiocyanate-degrading microorganisms,the influence of carbon,sulfur and nitrogen cycle,the mechanism of thiocyanate degradation are reviewed,and the significance and issues of thiocyanate degradation by microorganisms are discussed,aiming to provide theoretical support for the treatment of thiocyanate in wastewater.

Key words: thiocyanate, microbial degradation, wastewater
