    Abstract:
    Conventional physical and chemical treatment technologies for 1,4-dioxane can be ineffective and consequently attention has focused on bioremediation. Towards this, the current research investigated the impact of basal salts medium (BSM) and yeast extract on 1,4-dioxane biodegradation rates in microcosms with different soil or sediment (agricultural soil, wetland sediment, sediment from an impacted site). Phylotypes responsible for carbon uptake from 1,4-dioxane were determined using stable isotope probing (SIP), both with and without BSM and yeast extract. Further, putative functional genes were investigated using 1) soluble di-iron monooxygenase (SDIMO) based amplicon sequencing, 2) qPCR targeting propane monooxygenase (large subunit, prmA) and 3) a predictive approach (PICRUSt2). The addition of BSM and yeast extract significantly enhanced 1,4-dioxane removal rates the agricultural soil and impacted site sediment microcosms. The phylotypes associated with carbon uptake varied across treatments and inocula. Gemmatimonas was important in the heavy SIP fractions of the wetland sediment microcosms. Unclassified Solirubacteraceae, Solirubrobacter, Pseudonocardia and RB4 were dominant in the heavy SIP fractions of the agricultural soil microcosms. The heavy SIP fractions of the impacted site microcosms were dominated by only two phylotypes, unclassified Burkholderiaceae and oc3299. SDIMO based amplicon sequencing detected three genes previously associated with 1,4-dioxane. The predicted functional gene analysis suggested the importance of propane monooxygenases associated with Solirubrobacter and Pseudonocardia. Overall, more microorganisms were involved in carbon uptake from 1,4-dioxane in both the wetland and agricultural soil microcosms compared to the impacted site sediment microcosms. Many of these microorganisms have not previously been associated with 1,4-dioxane removal.
