The bacterial strain J3 was isolated from soil by selective enrichment on mineral medium containing 4-nitrocatechol as the sole carbon and energy source. This strain was identified as Rhodococcus wratislaviensis on the basis of morphology, biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic characterization and complete sequencing of the 16S rDNA gene. The isolated bacterium could utilize 4-nitrocatechol, 3-nitrophenol and 5-nitroguaiacol as sole carbon and energy sources. Stoichiometric release of nitrites was measured during degradation of 4-nitrocatechol both in growing cultures and for stationary phase cells. The J3 strain was unable to degrade 4-nitroguaiacol, 2-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid, 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzoic acid and 2,3-difluoro-6-nitrophenol. The J3 strain is deposited in the Czech Collection of Microorganisms as CCM 4930. 相似文献

Trametes versicolor 1 was shown to grow on phenol as its sole carbon and energy source. The culture growth and degradation ability dependence
on culture medium pH value was observed. The optimal pH value of a liquid Czapek salt medium was 6.5. The investigated strain
utilized completely 0.5 g/l phenol in 6 days. The dynamics of the phenol degradation process was investigated. The process
was characterized by specific growth rate μmax 0.33 h−1, metabolic coefficient k = 4.4, yield coefficient Y
x/s
= 0.23 and rate of degradation Q = 0.506 h−1. The intracellular activities of phenol hydroxylase (0.333 U/mg protein) and cis,cis-muconate lactonizing enzyme (0.41 U/mg protein) were demonstrated for the first time in this fungus. In an attempt to estimate
the occurrence of gene sequences in T. versicolor 1 related to phenol degradation pathway a dot blot analysis with total DNA isolated from this strain was performed. Two synthetic
oligonucleotides were used as hybridizing probes. One of the probes was homologous to the 5′end of phyA gene coding for phenol hydroxylase in Trichosporon cutaneum ATCC 46490. The other probe was created on the basis of cis,cis-muconate lactonizing enzyme coding gene in T. cutaneum ATCC 58094. The results of these investigations showed that T. versicolor 1 may carry genes similar to those of Trichosporon cutaneum capable to degrade phenol. 相似文献

Methyl oleate was used as a primary carbon source and as an alternative inducer for the production of an extracellular lipase,
Lip2, in Y. lipolytica strain LgX64.81 grown in a 20-l bioreactor. The lipase-encoding gene, LIP2, was investigated during culture on methyl oleate using a pLIP2–LacZ reporter fusion and we provide evidence for the involvement of methyl oleate in its regulation.

In industry, fosfomycin is mainly prepared via chemical epoxidation of cis-propenylphosphonic acid (cPPA). The conversion yield of fosfomycin is less than 50% in the whole process and a large quantity
of waste is produced. Biotransformation by microorganisms is an alternative method of preparation. This kind of conversion
is more delicate, environmentally friendly, and the conversion yield of fosfomycin would be higher. In this work, an aerobic
bacterium capable of transforming cPPA to fosfomycin was isolated. The organism, designated as strain S101, was identified
as Bacillus simplex by morphological and physiological characteristics as well as by analysis of the gene encoding the 16S rRNA. Fosfomycin was
assayed by two means, bioassay and gas chromatography (GC). Glycerol was a good carbon source for growth and cPPA conversion
of strain S101. When cPPA was used as the sole carbon source, neither growth nor conversion to fosfomycin occurred. The optimum
cPPA concentration in the conversion medium was 2,000 μg ml−1. After 6 days of incubation, the concentration of fosfomycin reached its maximum level (1,838.2 μg ml−1), with a conversion ratio of 81.3%. Air was indispensable for the growth but not for the conversion to fosfomycin. Furthermore,
vanadium ions were found to be essential for the conversion. High concentrations of cPPA had fewer inhibitory effects on the
growth of strain S101. 相似文献

Pseudomonas sp. strain WBC-3 utilizes para-nitrophenol (PNP) as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy. PnpA (PNP 4-monooxygenase) and PnpB (para-benzoquinone reductase) were shown to be involved in the initial steps of PNP catabolism via hydroquinone. We demonstrated
here that PnpA also catalyzed monooxygenation of 4-nitrocatechol (4-NC) to hydroxyquinol, probably via hydroxyquinone. It
was the first time that a single-component PNP monooxygenase has been shown to catalyze this conversion. PnpG encoded by a
gene located in the PNP degradation cluster was purified as a His-tagged protein and identified as a hydroxyquinol dioxygenase
catalyzing a ring-cleavage reaction of hydroxyquinol. Although all the genes necessary for 4-NC metabolism seemed to be present
in the PNP degradation cluster in strain WBC-3, it was unable to grow on 4-NC as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy.
This was apparently due to the substrate’s inability to trigger the expression of genes involved in degradation. Nevertheless,
strain WBC-3 could completely degrade both PNP and 4-NC when PNP was used as the inducer, demonstrating its potential in bioremediation
of the environment polluted by both 4-NC and PNP. 相似文献

Burkholderia sp. C3 was isolated from a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated site in Hilo, Hawaii, USA, and studied for
its degradation of phenanthrene as a sole carbon source. The initial 3,4-C dioxygenation was faster than 1,2-C dioxygenation
in the first 3-day culture. However, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid derived from 3,4-C dioxygenation degraded much slower than
2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid derived from 1,2-C dioxygenation. Slow degradation of 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid relative to 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic
acid may trigger 1,2-C dioxygenation faster after 3 days of culture. High concentrations of 5,6-␣and 7,8-benzocoumarins indicated
that meta-cleavage was the major degradation mechanism of phenanthrene-1,2- and -3,4-diols. Separate cultures with 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic
acid and 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid showed that the degradation rate of the former to naphthalene-1,2-diol was much faster
than that of the latter. The two upper metabolic pathways of phenanthrene are converged into naphthalene-1,2-diol that is
further metabolized to 2-carboxycinnamic acid and 2-hydroxybenzalpyruvic acid by ortho- and meta-cleavages, respectively. Transformation of naphthalene-1,2-diol to 2-carboxycinnamic acid by this strain represents the first
observation of ortho-cleavage of two rings-PAH-diols by a Gram-negative species. 相似文献

Summary The capability of Rhodococcus erythropolis CCM 2595(ATCC 11048) to utilize phenol, pyrocatechol, resorcinol, p-nitrophenol, p-chlorophenol, hydroquinone and hydroxybenzoate, respectively, or as respective binary mixtures with phenol, was described. This capability was found to depend on the substrate and its initial concentration. Some monoaromatic compounds had a suppressive effect on the strain’s ability to utilize phenol in a binary mixture and easily utilizable monoaromatics were strong inducers of the phenol 2-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.7). The capacity of R. erythropolis to colonize a synthetic zeolite was demonstrated and the enhancement of phenol tolerance of biofilms utilizing phenol was observed. The effect of humic acids on phenol killing was described and discussed as well. To allow use of recombinant DNA technology for strain improvement, methods of genetic transfer (transformation and conjugation) in R. erythropolis were established. 相似文献

The ability of Tetraselmis marina, a green coastal microalga, to remove chlorophenols under photoautotrophic conditions was investigated. T.marina was able to grow in the presence of 20 mg L−1 of the phenolic compounds tested. The EC50 (growth rate) value of p-chlorophenol (p-CP) to T.marina was found to be 25.5 mg L−1. The microalga was able to remove chlorophenols, showing higher efficiency for p-CP. The effect of photoregime and NaHCO3 concentration on p-CP removal was investigated. Under continuous illumination with 1 g L−1 NaHCO3 initial concentration T.marina removed 65% of 20 mg L−1 in a 10-day cultivation period. 相似文献

Pseudomonas
fluorescens-CS2 metabolized ethylbenzene as the sole source of carbon and energy. The involvement of catechol as the hydroxylated intermediate
during the biodegradation of ethylbenzene was established by TLC, HPLC and enzyme analysis. The specific activity of Catechol
2,3-dioxygenase in the cell free extracts of P.
fluorescens-CS2 was determined to be 0.428 μmoles min−1 mg−1 protein. An aqueous-organic, Two-Phase Batch Culture System (TPBCS) was developed to overcome inhibition due to higher substrate
concentrations. In TPBCS, P. fluorescens-CS2 demonstrated ethylbenzene utilization up to 50 mM without substrate inhibition on inclusion of n-decanol as the second phase. The rate of ethylbenzene metabolism in TPBCS was found enhance by fivefold in comparison with
single phase system. Alternatively the alginate, agar and polyacrylamide matrix immobilized P. fluorescens-CS2 cells efficiently degraded ethylebenzene with enhanced efficiency compared to free cell cultures in single and two-phase
systems. The cells entrapped in ployacrylamide and alginate were found to be stable and degradation efficient for a period
of 42 days where as agar-entrapped P. fluorescens was stable and efficient a period of 36 days. This demonstrates that alginate and polyacrylamide matrices are more promising
as compared to agar for cell immobilization. 相似文献

A strain utilizing cyclohexylamine as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen, designated NyZ12, was isolated from soil and
identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as Pseudomonas plecoglossicida. This bacterium released ammonia into the medium when grown on cyclohexylamine, and also grows readily on cyclohexanone as
the sole carbon source, suggesting that degradation involves an initial deamination step. 相似文献

A strictly anaerobic bacterium, strain OX39, was isolated with o-xylene as organic substrate and sulfate as electron acceptor from an aquifer at a former gasworks plant contaminated with aromatic hydrocarbons. Apart from o-xylene, strain OX39 grew on m-xylene and toluene and all three substrates were oxidized completely to CO2. Induction experiments indicated that o-xylene, m-xylene, and toluene degradation were initiated by different specific enzymes. Methylbenzylsuccinate was identified in supernatants of cultures grown on o-xylene and m-xylene, and benzylsuccinate was detected in supernatants of toluene-grown cells, thus indicating that degradation was initiated in all three cases by fumarate addition to the methyl group. Strain OX39 was sensitive towards sulfide and depended on Fe(II) in the medium as a scavenger of the produced sulfide. Analysis of the PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene revealed that strain OX39 affiliates with the gram-positive endospore-forming sulfate reducers of the genus Desulfotomaculum and is the first hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacterium in this genus. 相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum was metabolically engineered to broaden its substrate utilization range to include the pentose sugar l-arabinose, a product of the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass. The resultant CRA1 recombinant strain expressed the Escherichia coli genes araA, araB, and araD encoding l-arabinose isomerase, l-ribulokinase, and l-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase, respectively, under the control of a constitutive promoter. Unlike the wild-type strain,
CRA1 was able to grow on mineral salts medium containing l-arabinose as the sole carbon and energy source. The three cloned genes were expressed to the same levels whether cells were
cultured in the presence of d-glucose or l-arabinose. Under oxygen deprivation and with l-arabinose as the sole carbon and energy source, strain CRA1 carbon flow was redirected to produce up to 40, 37, and 11%,
respectively, of the theoretical yields of succinic, lactic, and acetic acids. Using a sugar mixture containing 5% d-glucose and 1% l-arabinose under oxygen deprivation, CRA1 cells metabolized l-arabinose at a constant rate, resulting in combined organic acids yield based on the amount of sugar mixture consumed after
d-glucose depletion (83%) that was comparable to that before d-glucose depletion (89%). Strain CRA1 is, therefore, able to utilize l-arabinose as a substrate for organic acid production even in the presence of d-glucose. 相似文献

The maT clade of transposons is a group of transposable elements intermediate in sequence and predicted protein structure to mariner and Tc transposons, with a distribution thus far limited to a few invertebrate species. We present evidence, based on searches of publicly available databases, that the nematode Caenorhabditis briggsae has several maT-like transposons, which we have designated as CbmaT elements, dispersed throughout its genome. We also describe two additional transposon sequences that probably share their evolutionary history with the CbmaT transposons. One resembles a fold back variant of a CbmaT element, with long (380-bp) inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) that show a high degree (71%) of identity to CbmaT1. The other, which shares only the 26-bp ITR sequences with one of the CbmaT variants, is present in eight nearly identical copies, but does not have a transposase gene and may therefore be cross mobilised by a CbmaT transposase. Using PCR-based mobility assays, we show that CbmaT1 transposons are capable of excising from the C. briggsae genome. CbmaT1 excised approximately 500 times less frequently than Tcb1 in the reference strain AF16, but both CbmaT1 and Tcb1 excised at extremely high frequencies in the HK105 strain. The HK105 strain also exhibited a high frequency of spontaneous induction of unc-22 mutants, suggesting that it may be a mutator strain of C. briggsae. 相似文献

The investigation aimed to examine the Streptomyces flora of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil and study their capability to grow on diesel fuel as a sole carbon source and their
analysis for the presence of the alkane hydroxylase gene (alkB) by PCR. A total of 16 Streptomyces isolates were recovered from hydrocarbon-contaminated soil samples on starch casein nitrate agar medium with the ability
of 3 isolates to grow on diesel as evaluated by agar plate diffusion method, enzymatic assay and dry weight measurements.
PCR analysis of the isolates for the presence of the alkB gene showed two groups with different band size products; group 1 (G1) (316–334 bp) and group 2 (G2) (460–550 bp). Three
isolates (SF.1Ac, SF.2Ba, and SF.3Ad) grew around diesel-containing wells and contained the alkB gene with size band ranged between 320 and 550 bp. However; one isolate (SF.1Aa) did not show any PCR product although it
was able to grow on diesel. This implies that the alkB gene is not the only gene that is responsible for the degradation of alkanes. Further, the variation in the G2 fragment size
probably indicates different related genes that might be involved in alkane degradation rather than a single gene. 相似文献

Mycobacterium austroafricanum IFP 2012, which grows on methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and on tert-butyl alcohol (TBA), the main intermediate of MTBE degradation, also grows on a broad range of n-alkanes (C2 to C16). A single alkB gene copy, encoding a non-heme alkane monooxygenase, was partially amplified from the genome of this bacterium. Its expression
was induced after growth on n-propane, n-hexane, n-hexadecane and on TBA but not after growth on LB. The capacity of other fast-growing mycobacteria to grow on n-alkanes (C1 to C16) and to degrade TBA after growth on n-alkanes was compared to that of M. austroafricanum IFP 2012. We studied M. austroafricanum IFP 2012 and IFP 2015 able to grow on MTBE, M. austroafricanum IFP 2173 able to grow on isooctane, Mycobacterium sp. IFP 2009 able to grow on ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), M. vaccae JOB5 (M. austroaafricanum ATCC 29678) able to degrade MTBE and TBA and M. smegmatis mc2 155 with no known degradation capacity towards fuel oxygenates. The M. austroafricanum strains grew on a broad range of n-alkanes and three were able to degrade TBA after growth on propane, hexane and hexadecane. An alkB gene was partially amplified from the genome of all mycobacteria and a sequence comparison demonstrated a close relationship
among the M. austroafricanum strains. This is the first report suggesting the involvement of an alkane hydroxylase in TBA oxidation, a key step during
MTBE metabolism. 相似文献

An N-acetylglucosaminidase produced by Streptomyces cerradoensis was partially purified giving, by SDS-PAGE analysis, two main protein bands with Mr of 58.9 and 56.4 kDa. The Km and Vmax values for the enzyme using p-nitrophenyl-β-N-acetylglucosaminide as substrate were of 0.13 mM and 1.95 U mg−1 protein, respectively. The enzyme was optimally activity at pH 5.5 and at 50 °C when assayed over 10 min. Enzyme activity
was strongly inhibited by Cu2+ and Hg2+ at 10 mM, and was specific to substrates containing acetamide groups such as p-nitrophenyl-β-N-acetylglucosaminide and p-nitrophenyl-β-D-N,N′-diacetylchitobiose. 相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum strains are used for the fermentative production of l-glutamate. Five C. glutamicum deletion mutants were isolated by two rounds of selection for homologous recombination and identified by Southern blot analysis.
The growth, glucose consumption and glutamate production of the mutants were analyzed and compared with the wild-type ATCC
13032 strain. Double disruption of dtsR1 (encoding a subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase complex) and pyc (encoding pyruvate carboxylase) caused efficient overproduction of l-glutamate in C. glutamicum; production was much higher than that of the wild-type strain and ΔdtsR1 strain under glutamate-inducing conditions. In the absence of any inducing conditions, the amount of glutamate produced by
the double-deletion strain ΔdtsR1Δpyc was more than that of the mutant ΔdtsR1. The activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) was found to be higher in the ΔdtsR1Δpyc strain than in the ΔdtsR1 strain and the wild-type strain. Therefore, PEPC appears to be an important anaplerotic enzyme for glutamate synthesis in
ΔdtsR1 derivatives. Moreover, this conclusion was confirmed by overexpression of ppc and pyc in the two double-deletion strains (ΔdtsR1Δppc and ΔdtsR1Δpyc), respectively. Based on the data generated in this investigation, we suggest a new method that will improve glutamate production
strains and provide a better understanding of the interaction(s) between the anaplerotic pathway and fatty acid synthesis. 相似文献

A Bacillus sp. strain DHT, isolated from oil-contaminated soil, grew and produced biosurfactant when cultured in variety of substrate
at salinities of up to 100 g l−1 and temperatures up to 45°C. It was capable of utilizing crude oil, fuels, various pure alkanes and PAHs as a sole carbon
and energy source across a wide range of temperature and salinity. Over the range evaluated, the degradation of hydrocarbon
and biosurfactant production was not influenced by salinity (0–10% wv−1) and temperature (30–45°C). The biosurfactant produced by the organism emulsified a range of hydrocarbons with hexadecane
as the best substrate and toluene as the poorest. From 16S rDNA analysis, strain DHT was related to Bacillus licheniformis. 相似文献

Bisphenol A (2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, BPA), which is used as a synthetic resin material or a plasticizer, is a pollutant
that␣possesses endocrine-disrupting activity. Bioremediation of BPA is used to decrease its polluting effects, and here we
report a novel bacterial strain AO1, which is able to degrade BPA. This strain was isolated using enrichment cultivation from
a soil sample from a vegetable-growing field; the sample was one of 500 soil samples collected across Japan. Strain AO1 degraded
100 mg/l BPA to an undetectable level within 6 h in MYPG medium (containing malt extract, yeast extract, peptone, and glucose) and within 48 h in minimum medium containing 1% glucose at 30°C. Strain AO1 can utilize BPA as a sole source of carbon
and as an energy source under aerobic conditions. The estrogenic activity of BPA in MYPG medium was ultimately reduced by
strain AO1, although the activity initially increased. Taxonomical analysis showed that strain␣AO1 is closely related to Sphingomonas chlorophenolicum and S. herbicidovorans, neither of which have a capacity for BPA degradation. DNA–DNA hybridization showed that strain AO1 is a novel species of
the Sphingomonas genus, and we designated AO1 as S. bisphenolicum. 相似文献
