Indigenous microbial consortia are closely associated with soil inherent components including nutrients and minerals. Although indigenous microbial consortia present great prospects for bioremediation of vanadate [V(V)] contaminated soil, influences of some key components, such as available phosphorus (AP), on V(V) biodetoxification are poorly understood. In this study, surface soils sampled from five representative vanadium smelter sites were employed as inocula without pretreatment. V(V) removal efficiency ranged from 81.7 ± 1.4% to 99.5 ± 0.2% in batch experiment, and the maximum V(V) removal rates were positively correlated with AP contents. Long-term V(V) removal was achieved under fluctuant hydrodynamic and hydrochemical conditions in column experiment. Geobacter and Bacillus, which were found in both original soils and bioreactors, catalytically reduced V(V) to insoluble tetravalent vanadium. Phosphate-solubilizing bacterium affiliated to Gemmatimonadaceae were also identified abundantly. Microbial functional characterization indicated the enrichment of phosphate ABC transporter, which could accelerate V(V) transfer into intercellular space for efficient reduction due to the structural similarity of V(V) and phosphate. This study reveals the critical role of AP in microbial V(V) decontamination and provides promising strategy for in situ bioremediation of V(V) polluted soil.
