Microbial biodegradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread in various ecosystems and are pollutants of great concern due to their potential toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. Because of their hydrophobic nature, most PAHs bind to particulates in soil and sediments, rendering them less available for biological uptake. Microbial degradation represents the major mechanism responsible for the ecological recovery of PAH-contaminated sites. The goal of this review is to provide an outline of the current knowledge of microbial PAH catabolism. In the past decade, the genetic regulation of the pathway involved in naphthalene degradation by different gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria was studied in great detail. Based on both genomic and proteomic data, a deeper understanding of some high-molecular-weight PAH degradation pathways in bacteria was provided. The ability of nonligninolytic and ligninolytic fungi to transform or metabolize PAH pollutants has received considerable attention, and the biochemical principles underlying the degradation of PAHs were examined. In addition, this review summarizes the information known about the biochemical processes that determine the fate of the individual components of PAH mixtures in polluted ecosystems. A deeper understanding of the microorganism-mediated mechanisms of catalysis of PAHs will facilitate the development of new methods to enhance the bioremediation of PAH-contaminated sites.     

多环芳烃降解菌的筛选、鉴定及降解特性

【目的】多环芳烃(PAHs)是一类普遍存在于环境中且具有高毒性的持久性有机污染物,高效降解菌的筛选对利用生物修复技术有效去除环境中的多环芳烃具有重要意义。研究拟从供试菌株中筛选多环芳烃高效降解菌,并分析其降解特性,为多环芳烃污染环境的微生物修复提供资源保障和科学依据。【方法】采用平板法从25株供试菌株中筛选出以菲和芘为唯一碳源和能源的高效降解菌,经16S rRNA基因序列进行初步鉴定,通过单因素实验法分析其在液体培养基中的降解特性。【结果】筛选出的3株多环芳烃高效降解菌SL-1、02173和02830经16S rRNA基因序列分析,02173和02830分别与假单胞菌属中的Pseudomonas alcaliphila和Pseudomonas corrugate同源性最近,SL-1为本课题组发表新类群Rhizobium petrolearium的模式菌株;降解实验表明,菌株SL-1 3 d内对单一多环芳烃菲(100 mg/L)和芘(50 mg/L)的降解率分别达到100%和48%,5 d后能够降解74%的芘;而其3 d内对混合PAHs中菲和芘的降解率分别为75.89%和81.98%。菌株02173和02830 3 d内对混合多环芳烃中萘(200 mg/L)、芴(50 mg/L)、菲(100 mg/L)和芘(50 mg/L)的降解率均分别超过97%。【结论】筛选出的3株PAHs降解菌SL-1、02173和02830不仅可以高效降解低分子量PAHs,还对高分子量PAHs具有很好的降解潜力。研究表明,由于共代谢作用低分子量多环芳烃可促进高分子量多环芳烃的降解,而此时低分子量多环芳烃的降解将受到抑制。     

Effect of surfactants on PAH biodegradation by a bacterial consortium and on the dynamics of the bacterial community during the process

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of a non-biodegradable (Tergitol NP-10) and a biodegradable (Tween-80) surfactant on growth, degradation rate and microbial dynamics of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) degrading consortium (C2PL05) from a petroleum polluted soil, applying cultivable and non cultivable techniques. Growth and degradation rate were significantly lower with Tergitol NP-10 than that with Tween-80. Toxicity did not show any significant reduction with Tergitol NP-10 whereas with Tween-80 toxicity was almost depleted (30%) after 40 days. Regarding to the cultured bacteria, Pseudomonas and Stenotrophomonas groups were dominant during PAH degradation with Tergitol NP-10, whereas Enterobacter and Stenotrophomonas were dominant with Tween-80. DGGE analyses (PRIMER and MDS) showed that bacteria composition was more similar between treatments when PAHs were consumed than when PAHs concentration was still high. Community changes between treatments were a consequence of Pseudomonas sp., Sphingomonas sp., Sphingobium sp. and Agromonas sp.     

Revealing potential functions of VBNC bacteria in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons biodegradation

The bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)‐contaminated sites is not running smoothly, because of the lower activity of PAH‐degrading bacteria in actual bioremediation applications. The phenomenon of “viable but nonculturable” (VBNC) state may be a main limiting factor for their poor biodegradation capabilities of PAHs. Due to their abilities of entering into the VBNC state, most of bacterial populations with PAH‐degradation potential remain unculturable. Resuscitation of VBNC bacteria will enhance the degradation capability of indigenous bacteria which will eventually obtain their better capabilities in environmental bioremediation. Although evidences have been presented indicating that resuscitation of VBNC bacteria in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)‐contaminated environments not only significantly enhanced PCB degradation, but also obtained novel highly efficient PCB‐degrading bacteria, scanty information is available on the VBNC bacteria in PAH‐contaminated sites. VBNC bacteria, as a vast majority of potential microbial resource could be the repository of novel highly efficient PAH‐biodegraders. Therefore, studies need to be done on resuscitation of VBNC bacteria to overcome key bottlenecks in bioremediation of PAH‐contaminated sites. This mini‐review provides a new insight into the potential functions of VBNC bacteria in PAHs biodegradation.

Significance and Impact of the Study

As the vast majority microbial resource, viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacteria, which showed their potential functions in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) biodegradation, can be of great significance in environmental bioremediation. It is therefore important to resuscitate VBNC bacteria for their better capabilities. Meanwhile, preventing the indigenous functional community from entering into the VBNC state will also maintain the high activity of PAH‐degrading bacteria in actual bioremediation applications. Undoubtedly, much more work needs to be done to reveal indigenous micro‐organisms in the VBNC state from the perspective of environmental functions.     

两种植物条件下土壤中矿物油和多环芳烃（PAHs）的生物修复研究

选择苜蓿草和水稻为供试植物,以污染物水平、有机以、专性细菌和真菌为调控因子,进行土壤中矿物油和PAHs的生物修复研究,结果表明,投肥对苜蓿草土壤中矿物油降解有促进作用,但对水稻土壤中矿物油降解无明显作用,投肥均使苜蓿草和水稻土壤中多环芒烃总量（11种列于美国EPA黑名单上的多环芳烃）降解率提高,这一降解促进效果在水稻土壤中好于苜蓿草土壤,有机肥量与苜蓿草根际土著真菌、细菌数量明显呈正相关,但仅与水稻根际土著细菌数量呈明显正相关,两种土壤中实测真菌和细菌总数均与试验投加专性真菌和细菌量无关,水稻土和苜蓿草土壤中3环多环芳烃的降解随投肥量增大而降解率提高,其在水稻土蓑中的效果好于苜蓿草土壤,投肥怪4环多环芳烃的降解并未产生有效作用。     

Bioremediation of high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: a review of the microbial degradation of benzo[a]pyrene

Over the past 30 years, research on the microbial degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has resulted in the isolation of numerous genera of bacteria, fungi and algae capable of degrading low molecular weight PAHs (compounds containing three or less fused benzene rings). High molecular weight PAHs (compounds containing four or more fused benzene rings) are generally recalcitrant to microbial attack, although some fungi and algae are capable of transforming these compounds. Until recently, only a few genera of bacteria have been isolated with the ability to utilise four-ring PAHs as sole carbon and energy sources while cometabolism of five-ring compounds has been reported. The focuss of this review is on the high molecular weight PAH benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). There is concern about the presence of BaP in the environment because of its carcinogenicity, teratogenicity and toxicity. BaP has been observed to accumulate in marine organisms and plants which could indirectly cause human exposure through food consumption. This review provides an outline of the occurrence of BaP in the environment and the ability of bacteria, fungi and algae to degrade the compound, including pathways for BaP degradation by these organisms. In addition, approaches for improving microbial degradation of BaP are discussed.
