厦门近海海水中多环芳烃降解菌的原位富集与降解菌多样性

摘要：【目的】为了分析厦门近海原位海水中多环芳烃降解菌的多样性。【方法】将涂有菲的聚氯乙烯（PVC）板悬挂在厦门国际邮轮码头的海水中,进行菲降解菌的原位富集。利用变性梯度凝胶电泳（Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis,DGGE）和16S rRNA基因文库两种方法分析了在PVC板表面富集微生物的菌群结构。之后,在实验室模拟原位条件下,对PVC板表面富集的菲降解菌群进行进一步富集、分离和初步鉴定。【结果】PVC板在海水中浸没6 d后,16S rRNA基因文库分析表明,在涂菲的PVC板表面富集的菌群中解环菌属（Cycloclasticus）对应的克隆子占文库总克隆子的50%;在未涂菲的PVC板表面吸附的菌群中红杆菌科（Rhodobacteraceae）为优势菌,其对应的克隆子占文库总克隆子的47%;而解环菌属的克隆子只占文库总克隆子的2%。DGGE的分析结果也证明解环菌是菲原位富集降解菌群中的优势菌。实验室进一步富集后,从该菌群中分离鉴定出14株细菌,其中一株新鞘氨醇杆菌B14(Novosphingobium sp.B14)具有菲降解能力。但是,解环菌未能获得纯培养。【结论】菲原位富集发现,厦门近海水体中解环菌是多环芳烃的主要降解菌。

细菌Rieske非血红素铁环羟化酶在多环芳烃降解中的研究进展

多环芳烃是一种常见的持久性有机污染物,因具有致癌、致突变等毒性而被广泛关注。其微生物降解过程通常由羟化起始,随后脱氢、开环、一步步去除支链,最终进入三羧酸循环。Rieske 非血红素铁环羟化酶(Rieske-type non-heme iron aromatic ring-hydroxylating oxygenases , RHOs , 又称 aromatic ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases) 或细胞色素 P450 氧化酶负责将羟基加成到多环芳烃环上,将疏水性的多环芳烃转化为亲水性的衍生物,这一过程是多环芳烃降解转化的起始步骤,也是关键步骤和限速步骤之一。文中主要介绍 RHOs 的分布、底物特异性、底物识别机制以及研究 RHOs 与多环芳烃的一些技术和方法等,并对 RHOs 在环境修复技术中的潜在应用进行了展望。

Enrichment versus biofilm culture: a functional and phylogenetic comparison of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading microbial communities

The effect that culture methods have on the diversity of degradative microbial communities is not well understood. We compared conventional batch enrichment with a biofilm culture method for the isolation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading microbial communities from a PAH-contaminated soil. The two methods were assessed by comparing: (i) the diversity of culturable bacteria; (ii) the diversity of PAH-catabolic genes in isolated bacteria; (iii) the inter- and intraspecific diversity of active PAH-catabolic gene classes; (iv) the diversity of bacteria present in 16S rRNA gene libraries generated from RNA extracted from the two communities and soil; and (v) the estimated diversity of active bacteria in the soil and culture systems. Single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis showed that the biofilm culture yielded 36 bacterial and two fungal species compared with 12 bacterial species from the enrichment culture. Application of accumulation and non-parametric estimators to clone libraries generated from 16S rRNA confirmed that the biofilm community contained greater diversity. Sequencing of clones showed that only species from the Proteobacteria were active in the enrichment culture, and that these species were expressing an identical nahAc-like naphthalene dioxygenase. 16S rRNA clones generated from the biofilm community indicated that species from the Cytophaga/Flavobacterium, high G+C bacteria and Proteobacteria were active at the time of sampling, expressing cndA-, nahAc- and phnAc-like naphthalene dioxygenases. The diversity of active species in the biofilm culture system closely matched that in the PAH-contaminated source soil. The results of this study showed that biofilm culture methods are more appropriate for the study of community-level interactions in PAH-degrading microbial communities. The study also indicated that cultivation of microbial communities on solid media might be the primary source of bias in the recovery of diverse species.     

Change in the composition of a bacterial association degrading aromatic compounds during oil sludge detoxification in a continuous-flow microbial reactor

Analysis of oil sludge by direct plating and enrichment cultivation revealed 16 strains degrading aromatic compounds. After 30 days of cultivation in a continuous-flow microbial reactor, 17 more degrader strains were isolated. Genotyping of these strains showed that they were taxonomically diverse, and the range of strains degrading naphthalene, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes depended on isolation methods. Direct plating yielded more aromatic degraders than enrichment cultivation. A microbial association different from that existing before the enrichment cultivation was obtained in the laboratory continuous-flow reactor.

Comparative study of enrichment methods for the isolation of autotrophic nitrifying bacteria from soil, estuarine and marine sediments

Abstract A comparative study has been undertaken to determine the efficiency of methods for the enrichment and isolation of autotrophic nitrifying bacteria from soils and estuarine and marine sediments. Chemostat enrichments proved to be the most efficient means of isolating autotrophic NH⁺₄ oxidisers whereas NO⁻₂ oxidising bacteria were never successfully enriched by this method. In contrast, gel enrichment and traditional batch culture enrichments of nitrifying bacteria were comparatively time consuming procedures and the degree of enrichment obtained for NH⁺₄ oxidising bacteria never approached that obtained with continuous culture enrichments. Gel enrichments, however, because they have continuous physicochemical gradients provide qualitative advantages in that morphologically distinct types of nitrifying bacteria can be isolated from the same gel.     

Influence of carbohydrates on the isolation of lactic acid bacteria

Aims: To determine the influence of carbohydrates on enrichment isolation of lactic acid bacteria from different niches. Methods and Results: Lactic acid bacteria in three traditional fermented products in southern Africa (amasi, mahewu and tshwala) and in three fresh samples (two flowers and a fruit) were enrichment cultured in media supplemented with 13 different carbohydrates. Diversity of lactic acid bacteria was determined by PCR‐denaturing‐gradient gel electrophoresis. Carbohydrates used in enrichment media had a big impact on the isolation of lactic acid bacteria from fermented products. Depending on the carbohydrates tested, the number of species detected ranged from one to four in amasi, one to five in mahewu and one to three in tshwala. Fructose and mannitol selected for relatively higher numbers of lactic acid bacteria in fermented products. Specific relationships between substrates and lactic acid bacteria have been noted. On the other hand, small influences were found among carbohydrates tested in flowers and fruit. Conclusion: Carbohydrates have a big impact on the isolation of a variety of lactic acid bacteria in fermented food. Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first study that reports the influence of carbohydrates on the enrichment of lactic acid bacteria.     

An Optimized Enrichment Technique for the Isolation of Arthrobacter Bacteriophage Species from Soil Sample Isolates

Bacteriophage isolation from environmental samples has been performed for decades using principles set forth by pioneers in microbiology. The isolation of phages infecting Arthrobacter hosts has been limited, perhaps due to the low success rate of many previous isolation techniques, resulting in an underrepresented group of Arthrobacter phages available for study. The enrichment technique described here, unlike many others, uses a filtered extract free of contaminating bacteria as the base for indicator bacteria growth, Arthrobactersp. KY3901, specifically. By first removing soil bacteria the target phages are not hindered by competition with native soil bacteria present in initial soil samples. This enrichment method has resulted in dozens of unique phages from several different soil types and even produced different types of phages from the same enriched soil sample isolate. The use of this procedure can be expanded to most nutrient rich aerobic media for the isolation of phages in a vast diversity of interesting host bacteria.     

Lactic acid bacteria associated with wine grapes from several Australian vineyards

AIMS: The detection and isolation of lactic acid bacteria by enrichment methods from wine grapes cultivated in vineyards located in New South Wales, Australia. METHODS AND RESULTS: Enrichment cultures in de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth, MRS + ethanol (5%), MRS broth supplemented with 15% (v/v) tomato juice (MRST), pH 5.5 and 3.5 and autoenrichment in grape juice homogenate were used to detect lactic acid bacteria on wine grapes. Bacteria were isolated from enrichment cultures by plating onto MRS and MRST agar and identified by 16S rDNA sequence analysis and phenotypical methods. A molecular method, PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was also used to examine the bacteria that developed in enrichment cultures. Species of Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, Lactococcus and Weissella were detected in enrichments by plating and PCR-DGGE. Other bacteria (Sporolactobacillus, Asaia, Bacillus ssp.) were also found in some enrichment cultures. The principal malolactic bacterium, Oenococcus oeni, was not isolated. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence and populations of lactic acid bacteria on wine grapes were very low. Damaged grape berries showed a greater presence of these bacteria than undamaged berries. The diversity of bacterial species isolated from the grapes was greater than those previously reported and represented both lactic acid bacteria and nonlactic acid bacteria. Some of these bacteria (i.e. Lactobacillus lindneri, Lactobacillus kunkeei) could be detrimental to wine production. Oenococcus oeni was not found on grapes, but its recovery could be obscured by overgrowth from other species. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Lactic acid bacteria are significant in wine production because they conduct the malolactic fermentation and cause stuck or sluggish alcoholic fermentation and wine spoilage. This study investigates wine grapes as a potential source of these bacteria.     

Indigenous PAH-degrading bacteria from oil-polluted sediments in Caleta Cordova,Patagonia Argentina

Indigenous bacteria with the capability to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were isolated from polluted sediment samples recovered from Caleta Cordova by using selective enrichment cultures supplemented with phenanthrene. Bacterial communities were evaluated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) in order to detect changes along enrichment culture and relationships with the representative strains subsequently isolated. Members of these communities included marine bacteria such as Lutibacter, Polaribacter, Arcobacter and Olleya, whose degradation pathway of PAH has not been studied yet. However, isolated bacteria obtained from this enrichment comprised the genus Pseudomonas, Marinobacter, Salinibacterium and Brevibacterium. The ability of isolates to grow and degrade naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene was demonstrated by detection of the residual substrate by HPLC. Archetypical naphthalene and catechol dioxygenase genes were found in two isolates belonging to genus Pseudomonas (Pseudomonas monteilii P26 and Pseudomonas xanthomarina N12), suggesting biodegradation potential in these sediments. The successful bacterial isolation with the ability to degrade PAH in pure culture suggest the possibility to study and further consider strategies like growth stimulation in situ, in order to increase the intrinsic bioremediation opportunities in the polluted Caleta Cordova harbor.     

Use of DNA-stable isotope probing and functional gene probes to investigate the diversity of methyl chloride-utilizing bacteria in soil

Enrichment and isolation of methyl chloride-utilizing bacteria from various terrestrial environments, including woodland and forest soils, resulted in the identification of seven methyl chloride-utilizing strains belonging to the genus Hyphomicrobium, an Aminobacter strain TW23 and strain WG1, which grouped closely with the genus Mesorhizobium. Methyl chloride enrichment cultures were dominated by Hyphomicrobium species, indicating that these bacteria were most suited to growth under the enrichment and isolation conditions used. However, the application of culture-independent techniques such as DNA-stable isotope probing and the use of a functional gene probe targeting cmuA, which encodes the methyltransferase catalysing the first step in bacterial methyl chloride metabolism, indicated a greater diversity of methyl chloride-utilizing bacteria in the terrestrial environment, compared with the diversity of soil isolates obtained via the enrichment and isolation procedure. It also revealed the presence of as yet uncultured and potentially novel methyl chloride-degrading bacteria in soil.
