However, the production of high-concentration leaching agents (SO\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sup>2\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) and heavy metals as a result of rare earth mining has increased, necessitating the removal of contaminants. Here, a series of experiments with different remediation measures, including control (CK), sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) alone (M), chemicals (Ca(OH)\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    , 1.5\u2009g\/kg) plus SRB (CM-L), chemicals (Ca(OH)\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    , 3.0\u2009g\/kg) plus SRB (CM-M), and chemicals (Ca(OH)\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    , 4.5\u2009g\/kg) plus SRB (CM-H), were conducted to investigate the removal effect of SO\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sup>2\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    , Pb, Zn, and Mn from the REM soil. Then, a high-throughput sequencing technology was applied to explore the response of bacterial community diversity and functions with different remediation measures. The results indicated that CM-M treatment had a more efficient removal effect for SO\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sup>2\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    , Pb, Zn, and Mn than the others, up to 94.6, 88.3, 98.7, and 91%, respectively. Soil bacterial abundance and diversity were significantly affected by treatments with the inoculation of SRB in comparison with CK. The relative abundance of\n                    <jats:italic>Desulfobacterota<\/jats:italic>\n                    with the ability to transform SO\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sup>2\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    into S\n                    <jats:sup>2\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    increased significantly in all treatments, except for CK. There was a strong correlation between environmental factors (pH, Eh, SO\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sup>2\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    , Pb, and Zn) and bacterial community structure. Furthermore, functional prediction analysis revealed that the SRB inoculation treatments significantly increased the abundance of sulfate respiration, sulfite respiration, and nitrogen fixation, while decreasing the abundance of manganese oxidation, dark hydrogen oxidation, and denitrification. This provides good evidence for us to understand the difference in removal efficiency, bacterial community structure, and function by different remediation measures that help select a more efficient and sustainable method to remediate contaminants in the REM soil.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2023.1050635","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]],"date-time":"2023-03-23T02:44:18Z","timestamp":1679539458000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Insights into remediation effects and bacterial diversity of different remediation measures in rare earth mine soil with SO42\u2212 and heavy metals"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Xiao","family":"Yan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bowen","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianlei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuezhe","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingjiang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"118686","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envpol.2021.118686","article-title":"Bioremediation of PAHs and heavy metals co-contaminated soils: Challenges and enhancement strategies","volume":"295","author":"Ali","year":"2022","journal-title":"Environ.
