Abstract

Vanadium (V) contamination in soil has received extensive attention due to its high toxicity. The change of mobility and bioavailability of soil V and the effects of V on the soil microbial community were studied under conditions of different V(V) spiking concentrations (0, 100, 250, and 500 mg kg−1) and aging time (1, 7, 14, 30, 45, and 60 d). The results showed that soil V mainly presented as V(IV) of all treatments throughout the aging process. At high levels of V(V) loading (250 and 500 mg kg–1), soil V(V) showed a downward trend, while bioavailable V did not change significantly within 60 d’s aging. The analysis of soil bacterial community showed that Proteobacteria was the most abundant phylum in all soils, and the dominant genera Sphingomonas and Lysobacter can well adapt to high concentration V. These microorganisms exhibited great potential for bioremediation of V-contaminated soils.
