Abstract: Comamonas acidovorans has vital role in degradation of natural as well as complex organic
compounds. Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 is mainly used for bioconversion of different steroids but
now it is a novel approach on bioremediation. In heavy metals hexavalent chromium, mercury and lead is very
toxic and carcinogenic for human health. Organism can tolerate heavy metals like hexavalent chromium,
mercury, lead and aluminium with high efficiency. Removal of hexavalent chromium is major problem to textile
as well as different industries. Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 removed 99% of the hexavalent chromium
from the medium and it can tolerate up to 600 ppm of chromium and 200 ppm of mercury in solidified medium.
This organism shows high tolerance against salt i.e. it can tolerate up to 10% of salt. Chromium removal was
also observed by using biosorption studies and MIC method. This bacteria increases pH during removal of
chromium and makes chromium oxide which is trivalent chromium; it is a non-toxic compound. High salt
tolerance, heavy metal tolerance and removal of hexavalent chromium make applicability in the treatment of
waste water technology and treatment of industrial effluent which contain high amount of salt and heavy metals.
Keywords: antibiotic resistance, Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364, heavy metal tolerance, hexavalent

Introduction

Heavy metals such as mercury, chromium, lead and arsenic are toxic metals that have no known vital or
beneficial effect on organisms. Heavy metal toxicity can result in damaged or reduced mental and central
nervous function, lower energy levels, and damage to blood composition, lungs, kidneys, liver, and other vital
organs. Long-term exposure may result in slowly progressing physical, muscular, and neurological degenerative
processes. Extensive application of chromium in industries particularly metal finishing industries, petroleum
refining, leather tanning, iron and steel industries, inorganic chemical production, textile manufacturing and
pulp production industries[1-2] leads to the formation of chromium-contaminated soil and ground water which
pose a serious threat to living organism particularly to human health [3-4]. Chromium is a potent pollutant
which is mutagenic, carcinogenic and teratogenic in humans, animals and plans [5-7].
Mercury-contaminated soils and sediments are commonly remediated by soil excavation, relocation,
and burial; soil washing with halogenated substances; heating soil to high temperature. In general, treatment of
effluents includes physiochemical methods such as filtration, specific coagulation, use of activated carbon and
chemical flocculation [8]. However, a majority of these technologies are costly to implement and cause further
disturbance to the already damaged environment [9]. Biological treatment methods using different bacteria,
fungi and plants have been widely studies. Biological reduction of hexavalent chromium to and its precipitation
into immobile trivalent by chromium resistant microbes is considered to be an effective method for
detoxification of chromium-contaminated environments and have a potential use in bioremediation. Reduction
of chromium has been demonstrated in various bacterial species including Escherichia coli [10], Pseudomonas
putida [11], Desulfovibrio sp. [12], Bacillus sp.[13] and Arthrobacter sp. [14] and actinomycetes [15]. The
response of microorganisms towards toxic heavy metals is of importance in view of their interest in the
reclamation of polluted sites. Several studies have indicated a co-relation between antibiotic resistance and
heavy metal resistance [16-17].
Comamonas acidovorans is belonging from Comamonadaceae family of the β-proteobacteria. It has
vital role in degradation of natural as well as complex organic compounds like 4-nitrobenzoate and cocaine [1819]. Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 has been routinely reported for bioconversion of different steroids
like progesterone, testosterone and cholesterol [20-21]. The main purpose of study was to investigate efficacy
of heavy metal tolerance and effective removal of hexavalent chromium by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC
3364. Efficient hexavalent chromium removal was also observed by using different parameters like time of
addition, split dose, concentration of chromium and pH of the medium was also observed. Conversion of
hexavalent to trivalent chromium was also observed and biosorption mechanism was studied by using free live
and dead cells of an organism. Co-relation between chromium resistant bacteria and β-lactam antibiotics was
also studied.

Result And Discussions

3.1 Maximum Tolerance Concentration studies of heavy metals
Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 could efficiently tolerate up to 600 ppm of hexavalent
chromium, 200 ppm of mercury, 500 ppm of lead, 400 ppm of silver, 350 ppm of stannous and 500 ppm of
aluminium. This data showed that Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 has high tolerance efficacy in terms of
heavy metals specially it tolerated hexavalent chromium, lead and aluminium with highest efficacy. Highest
tolerance might be involved in the organism either presence of cross-resistance with heavy metals or presence of
plasmid [17].
3.2 Chromium Removal studies
The results of chromium removal by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 have been. Organism
removed 99.40% of 100 ppm K2CrO4within 48 hours and 98.70% of 100 ppm K2Cr2O7. Cells were also removed
98% of 200 ppm of chromium efficiently. It removed chromium up to 400 ppm. Woo Chul Bae showed that
E.coli removed chromium 40 ppm within 20 hours whereas Comamonas removed 100 ppm efficiently within 48
hours suggesting the suitability of the organism for treatment of Industrial effluent containing large amount of
chromium at 37 oC and pH 7.0±0.02 [2].

Fig. 1 Chromium Removal by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364
3.3 Effect of time of addition of Chromium with split dose
To study the effect of chromium on growth and decolorization, chromium was added to the reaction
medium either during inoculation or after overnight growth. Removal of chromium was followed after 24 hrs.
The results have been shown in Fig. 2 and 3 which clearly depict that organisms removed efficiently chromium
when chromium was added before growth. It showed efficiently removal of chromium even after split dose.
Medium showed green color after 72-96 hours after inoculation of organisms. This indicated that chromium
(+6) was converted into chromium oxide; which has significant importance in textile, paper and other industries
[22].
3.4 pH observation studies
The pH change in the medium was suspected to be the cause of change in color of the medium and was
confirmed by measuring the pH of colored medium which was found to be between 8 and 9. It is a major
application from the point of view of bioremediation and industrial aspects in that hexavalent chromium
converted into trivalent chromium only if alkaline condition is possible so removal of chromium was beneficial.
K.Poornima et al also reported pH studies during removal of chromium [22] [25].

3.5 Chromium removal studies using free cells
In order to test the reusability and importance of metabolic activity of cells for chromium removal, the
cells of the organism were harvested from overnight grown culture and incubated with the chromium in buffered
medium. The results of free cells for chromium removal are depicted in Fig. 4 (A). Free cells showed almost
half of the chromium removal by biosorption. Chromium was removed almost 50-56% by biosorption studies so
it is indicative that metabolic function of cells in not mandatory for chromium removal by this organism. P.
Saranraj et al also suggested that biosorption also occurred by live and dead cells of Enterococcus casseliflavus
[23].

3.6 Chromium removal studies using dead cells
Chromium removal studies also cross checked with the biosorption studies. Dead cells also showed 5261% of removal of chromium which highlighted in Fig. 4 (B) that presented the role of biosorption in
contributing towards removal of metals by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 [23]. EDAX analysis of free
cells suspended in buffer containing 100 ppm of chromium, which was detected under Energy Dispersive X-ray
analyser, showed a peak of chromium in EDAX graph as shown in Fig. 5 [25].

incubated with potassium chromate and (C) cells incubated with potassium dichromate
3.7 Chromium studies on solidified medium
Growth was observed on solidified medium showed that organism can tolerate up to 600 ppm of
chromium in solidified medium but it showed some spotted colony on 700 ppm containing chromium plates and
up to 200 ppm of mercury. Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364could also tolerate 10% of salt in the medium.
This data depicts that some detergent or textile industries contained high amount of salt or alkalinity in their
effluents so this organism could also survive up to 10% of salt concentration. It is significant in waste water
technology and textile industries that contained high concentration of heavy metals and high amount of salts so
it can tolerate high concentration of salt along with chromium and simultaneously mercury.

Fig. 6 Growth of Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 on solidified medium contained
(A) chromium up to 500 ppm (B) mercury up to 250 ppm (C) salt concentration up to 20%.
3.8 Effect of various antibiotics on Chromium resistant Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364
Relation between antibiotics and heavy metals is significant prospectus for industrial purpose.
Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 showed tolerance for the chromium at higher concentration. It directly
affected on antibiotic resistance on normal Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 cells. Chromium resistant
cells showed less sensitivity against antibiotics. It is showed in Fig. 7.

Conclusion

Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 could tolerate heavy metals with high efficiency. The strain
could be efficiently applied for removal of high concentration of chromium from the industrial effluents.
Biosorption and chemical reduction have been indicated to play role in chromium removal by the strain. pH
observation studies and EDAX analysis revealed that hexavalent chromium is converted in to less toxic and
useful compound chromium oxide which is trivalent. Organism showed high resistant activity against β-lactam
antibiotics when chromium is present in medium. Thus, Comamonas acidovorans MTCC significant in waste
water technology and textile industries that contained high concentration of heavy metals and high amount of
salts.

2. evaluation of remediation in heavy metal tolerance and removal by comamonas acidovorans mtcc 3364

  • 1. IOSR Journal Of Environmental Science, Toxicology And Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) e-ISSN: 2319-2402,p- ISSN: 2319-2399. Volume 5, Issue 5 (Sep. - Oct. 2013), PP 26-32 www.Iosrjournals.Org Evaluation of remediation in heavy metal tolerance and removal by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 Darshan M. Rudakiya* and Kirti S. Pawar Ashok & Rita Patel Institute of Integrated Study and Research in Biotechnology and Allied Sciences, New Vallabh Vidyanagar, Anand, Gujarat, 388121. Abstract: Comamonas acidovorans has vital role in degradation of natural as well as complex organic compounds. Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 is mainly used for bioconversion of different steroids but now it is a novel approach on bioremediation. In heavy metals hexavalent chromium, mercury and lead is very toxic and carcinogenic for human health. Organism can tolerate heavy metals like hexavalent chromium, mercury, lead and aluminium with high efficiency. Removal of hexavalent chromium is major problem to textile as well as different industries. Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 removed 99% of the hexavalent chromium from the medium and it can tolerate up to 600 ppm of chromium and 200 ppm of mercury in solidified medium. This organism shows high tolerance against salt i.e. it can tolerate up to 10% of salt. Chromium removal was also observed by using biosorption studies and MIC method. This bacteria increases pH during removal of chromium and makes chromium oxide which is trivalent chromium; it is a non-toxic compound. High salt tolerance, heavy metal tolerance and removal of hexavalent chromium make applicability in the treatment of waste water technology and treatment of industrial effluent which contain high amount of salt and heavy metals. Keywords: antibiotic resistance, Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364, heavy metal tolerance, hexavalent chromium removal, salt tolerance I. Introduction Heavy metals such as mercury, chromium, lead and arsenic are toxic metals that have no known vital or beneficial effect on organisms. Heavy metal toxicity can result in damaged or reduced mental and central nervous function, lower energy levels, and damage to blood composition, lungs, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs. Long-term exposure may result in slowly progressing physical, muscular, and neurological degenerative processes. Extensive application of chromium in industries particularly metal finishing industries, petroleum refining, leather tanning, iron and steel industries, inorganic chemical production, textile manufacturing and pulp production industries[1-2] leads to the formation of chromium-contaminated soil and ground water which pose a serious threat to living organism particularly to human health [3-4]. Chromium is a potent pollutant which is mutagenic, carcinogenic and teratogenic in humans, animals and plans [5-7]. Mercury-contaminated soils and sediments are commonly remediated by soil excavation, relocation, and burial; soil washing with halogenated substances; heating soil to high temperature. In general, treatment of effluents includes physiochemical methods such as filtration, specific coagulation, use of activated carbon and chemical flocculation [8]. However, a majority of these technologies are costly to implement and cause further disturbance to the already damaged environment [9]. Biological treatment methods using different bacteria, fungi and plants have been widely studies. Biological reduction of hexavalent chromium to and its precipitation into immobile trivalent by chromium resistant microbes is considered to be an effective method for detoxification of chromium-contaminated environments and have a potential use in bioremediation. Reduction of chromium has been demonstrated in various bacterial species including Escherichia coli [10], Pseudomonas putida [11], Desulfovibrio sp. [12], Bacillus sp.[13] and Arthrobacter sp. [14] and actinomycetes [15]. The response of microorganisms towards toxic heavy metals is of importance in view of their interest in the reclamation of polluted sites. Several studies have indicated a co-relation between antibiotic resistance and heavy metal resistance [16-17]. Comamonas acidovorans is belonging from Comamonadaceae family of the β-proteobacteria. It has vital role in degradation of natural as well as complex organic compounds like 4-nitrobenzoate and cocaine [1819]. Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 has been routinely reported for bioconversion of different steroids like progesterone, testosterone and cholesterol [20-21]. The main purpose of study was to investigate efficacy of heavy metal tolerance and effective removal of hexavalent chromium by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364. Efficient hexavalent chromium removal was also observed by using different parameters like time of addition, split dose, concentration of chromium and pH of the medium was also observed. Conversion of hexavalent to trivalent chromium was also observed and biosorption mechanism was studied by using free live and dead cells of an organism. Co-relation between chromium resistant bacteria and β-lactam antibiotics was also studied. www.iosrjournals.org 26 | Page

Next day Nutrient agar plates were prepared and chromium resistant Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 culture was spread on nutrient agar plates. Antibiotic discs (ampicillin and penicillin G) were kept on the centre of the plates. All the plates were incubated overnight at 37oC. Negative control (without chromium) plates were also prepared for comparative study. III. Result And Discussions 3.1 Maximum Tolerance Concentration studies of heavy metals Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 could efficiently tolerate up to 600 ppm of hexavalent chromium, 200 ppm of mercury, 500 ppm of lead, 400 ppm of silver, 350 ppm of stannous and 500 ppm of aluminium. This data showed that Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 has high tolerance efficacy in terms of heavy metals specially it tolerated hexavalent chromium, lead and aluminium with highest efficacy. Highest tolerance might be involved in the organism either presence of cross-resistance with heavy metals or presence of plasmid [17]. 3.2 Chromium Removal studies The results of chromium removal by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 have been. Organism removed 99.40% of 100 ppm K2CrO4within 48 hours and 98.70% of 100 ppm K2Cr2O7. Cells were also removed 98% of 200 ppm of chromium efficiently. It removed chromium up to 400 ppm. Woo Chul Bae showed that E.coli removed chromium 40 ppm within 20 hours whereas Comamonas removed 100 ppm efficiently within 48 hours suggesting the suitability of the organism for treatment of Industrial effluent containing large amount of chromium at 37 oC and pH 7.0±0.02 [2]. Fig. 1 Chromium Removal by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 3.3 Effect of time of addition of Chromium with split dose To study the effect of chromium on growth and decolorization, chromium was added to the reaction medium either during inoculation or after overnight growth. Removal of chromium was followed after 24 hrs. The results have been shown in Fig. 2 and 3 which clearly depict that organisms removed efficiently chromium when chromium was added before growth. It showed efficiently removal of chromium even after split dose. Medium showed green color after 72-96 hours after inoculation of organisms. This indicated that chromium (+6) was converted into chromium oxide; which has significant importance in textile, paper and other industries [22]. 3.4 pH observation studies The pH change in the medium was suspected to be the cause of change in color of the medium and was confirmed by measuring the pH of colored medium which was found to be between 8 and 9. It is a major application from the point of view of bioremediation and industrial aspects in that hexavalent chromium converted into trivalent chromium only if alkaline condition is possible so removal of chromium was beneficial. K.Poornima et al also reported pH studies during removal of chromium [22] [25]. www.iosrjournals.org 28 | Page

The results of free cells for chromium removal are depicted in Fig. 4 (A). Free cells showed almost half of the chromium removal by biosorption. Chromium was removed almost 50-56% by biosorption studies so it is indicative that metabolic function of cells in not mandatory for chromium removal by this organism. P. Saranraj et al also suggested that biosorption also occurred by live and dead cells of Enterococcus casseliflavus [23].

  • 5. Evaluation of remediation in heavy metal tolerance and removal by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 3.6 Chromium removal studies using dead cells Chromium removal studies also cross checked with the biosorption studies. Dead cells also showed 5261% of removal of chromium which highlighted in Fig. 4 (B) that presented the role of biosorption in contributing towards removal of metals by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 [23]. EDAX analysis of free cells suspended in buffer containing 100 ppm of chromium, which was detected under Energy Dispersive X-ray analyser, showed a peak of chromium in EDAX graph as shown in Fig. 5 [25]. Fig. 5 EDAX spectrums of (A) culture of Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 (control), (B) cells incubated with potassium chromate and (C) cells incubated with potassium dichromate 3.7 Chromium studies on solidified medium Growth was observed on solidified medium showed that organism can tolerate up to 600 ppm of chromium in solidified medium but it showed some spotted colony on 700 ppm containing chromium plates and up to 200 ppm of mercury. Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364could also tolerate 10% of salt in the medium. This data depicts that some detergent or textile industries contained high amount of salt or alkalinity in their effluents so this organism could also survive up to 10% of salt concentration. It is significant in waste water technology and textile industries that contained high concentration of heavy metals and high amount of salts so it can tolerate high concentration of salt along with chromium and simultaneously mercury. Fig. 6 Growth of Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 on solidified medium contained (A) chromium up to 500 ppm (B) mercury up to 250 ppm (C) salt concentration up to 20%. 3.8 Effect of various antibiotics on Chromium resistant Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 Relation between antibiotics and heavy metals is significant prospectus for industrial purpose. Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 showed tolerance for the chromium at higher concentration. It directly affected on antibiotic resistance on normal Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 cells. Chromium resistant cells showed less sensitivity against antibiotics. It is showed in Fig. 7. www.iosrjournals.org 30 | Page
  • 6. Evaluation of remediation in heavy metal tolerance and removal by Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 Fig. 7 Comparison of β-lactam antibiotics between chromium resistant bacteria and control (without any metal) IV. Conclusion Comamonas acidovorans MTCC 3364 could tolerate heavy metals with high efficiency. The strain could be efficiently applied for removal of high concentration of chromium from the industrial effluents. Biosorption and chemical reduction have been indicated to play role in chromium removal by the strain. pH observation studies and EDAX analysis revealed that hexavalent chromium is converted in to less toxic and useful compound chromium oxide which is trivalent. Organism showed high resistant activity against β-lactam antibiotics when chromium is present in medium. Thus, Comamonas acidovorans MTCC significant in waste water technology and textile industries that contained high concentration of heavy metals and high amount of salts.
