摘要： BackgroundHeavy metal pollution has become a major source of environmental pollution because of increasing industrialization. Microbial remediation is a promising approach to remediate lead-contaminated environments owing to its cost-effective, environment-friendly, ecologically sustainable, and highly efficient properties. In this study, the growth-promoting functions and lead-adsorption ability of Bacillus cereus SEM-15 were examined, and the functional mechanism of the strain was preliminarily identified using scanning electron microscopy, energy spectrum, infrared spectrum, and genome analyses, providing theoretical support for utilization of B. cereus SEM-15 in heavy metals remediation.ResultsB. cereus SEM-15 showed strong ability to dissolve inorganic phosphorus and secrete indole-3-acetic acid. The lead adsorption efficiency of the strain at lead ion concentration of 150 mg/L was more than 93%. Single factor analysis revealed the optimal conditions for heavy metal adsorption by B. cereus SEM-15 (adsorption time, initial lead ion concentration, pH, and inoculum amount were 10 min, 50-150 mg/L, 6-7, and 5 g/L, respectively) in nutrient-free environment, with the lead adsorption rate reaching 96.58%. Scanning electron microscopy of B. cereus SEM-15 cells before and after lead adsorption showed adherence of a large number of granular precipitates to the cell surface after lead adsorption. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results indicated the characteristic peaks of Pb-O, Pb-O-R (R = functional group), and Pb-S bonds after lead adsorption, and a shift in the characteristic peaks of bonds and groups related to C, N, and O. Genome annotation results showed the presence of genes related to heavy metals tolerance and plant growth promotion in B. cereus SEM-15, providing a molecular basis for the strain's heavy metals tolerance and plant growth promotion functions.ConclusionsThis study analyzed the lead adsorption characteristics of B. cereus SEM-15 and the associated influencing factors, and discussed the adsorption mechanism and related functional genes, providing a basis for clarifying the underlying molecular mechanism and offering a reference for further research on plant-microorganisms combined remediation of heavy metals polluted environments.
