Bio-Based Decontamination and Detoxification of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Dredged Sediments: Perspectives to Produce Constructed Technosols in the Frame of the Circular Economy

To accelerate the depletion of total petroleum hydrocarbons, a hydrocarburoclastic ascomycetes, <i>Lambertella</i> sp. MUT 5852, was bioaugmented to dredged sediments co-composting with a lignocellulosic matrix. After only 28 days of incubation, a complete depletion of the contamination...

description To accelerate the depletion of total petroleum hydrocarbons, a hydrocarburoclastic ascomycetes, <i>Lambertella</i> sp. MUT 5852, was bioaugmented to dredged sediments co-composting with a lignocellulosic matrix. After only 28 days of incubation, a complete depletion of the contamination was observed. The 16S rDNA metabarcoding of the bacterial community and a predictive functional metagenomic analysis were adopted to evaluate potential bacterial degrading and detoxifying functions. A combination of toxicological assays on two eukaryotic models, the root tips of <i>Vicia faba</i> and the human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells, was adopted to assess the robustness of the process not only for the decontamination but also for the detoxification of the dredged sediments. Bacterial taxa, such as <i>Kocuria</i> and <i>Sphingobacterium</i> sps., resulted to be involved in both the decontamination and detoxification of the co-composting dredged sediments by potential activation of diverse oxidative processes. At the same time, the <i>Kocuria</i> sp. showed plant growth-promoting activity by the potential expression of the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase activity, providing functional traits of interest for a technosol in terms of sustaining primary producer growth and development.
