摘要
Antimony (Sb) pollution seriously endangers ecological environment and human health. Microbial induced mineralization can effectively convert metal ions into more stable and less soluble crystalline minerals by extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). In this study, an efficient Sb-resistant Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (R. mucilaginosa) was screened, which can resist 41 mM Sb(III) and directly transform Sb(III) into Sb2O3 microcrystals by EPS. The removal efficiency of R. mucilaginosa for 22 mM Sb(III) reached 70% by converting Sb(III) to Sb2O3. The components of supernatants as well as the effects of supernatants and pH on Sb(III) mineralization verified that inducible and non-inducible extracellular protein/polysaccharide biomacromolecules play important roles in the morphologies and sizes control of Sb2O3 formed by R. mucilaginosa respectively. Sb2O3 microcrystals with different morphologies and sizes can be prepared by the regulation of inducible and non-inducible extracellular biomacromolecules secreted by R. mucilaginosa. This is the first time to identify that R. mucilaginosa can remove Sb(III) by transforming Sb(III) into Sb2O3 microcrystals under the control of EPS. This study contributes to our understanding for Sb(III) biomineralization mechanisms and provides strategies for the remediation of Sb-contaminated environment.
