细菌利用不同碳、氮源共代谢降解脱色偶氮染料研究进展

本文主要综述了细菌利用碳、氮源等不同共代谢基质降解脱色偶氮染料的研究进展。综合文献结果表明,在单一碳源、单一氮源、复合碳氮源等不同共代谢基质条件下,细菌降解脱色偶氮染料的效能存在较大差异。其影响因素主要包括碳源种类、氮源种类、浓度、碳氮源复合比例等,其中碳、氮源种类影响最为显著。针对偶氮染料,只有提供合适的碳、氮源共代谢基质,才能对细菌降解脱色的效果起到明显的促进作用。同时,在不同碳、氮源共代谢基质条件下,细菌菌群群落结构及优势功能菌种差异较大,而不同碳、氮源共代谢基质作为偶氮染料还原脱色的电子供体,产生的脱色效能也有显著不同。最后,对利用碳、氮源共代谢降解脱色偶氮染料的研究方向进行了展望,认为复合合适的碳、氮源在提高细菌菌群降解脱色效率方面具有较大潜力,另一方面,细菌混合菌群利用碳、氮源共代谢降解脱色偶氮染料的微观分子生态学机制,酶学作用机制,功能菌种与功能蛋白之间相互作用机制等还有待深入研究。     

邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(DEHP)的细菌生物降解

邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(dis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, DEHP)是一种人工合成的有机化合物,其作为增塑剂,因具有优良的柔韧性、可塑性和耐久性等特征而被广泛应用在个人护理、医疗器械、食品包装和塑料制造等领域。DEHP在土壤、水体和大气等环境中普遍存在,且由于DEHP是一种常见的内分泌干扰物,具有生殖毒性、免疫毒性以及神经毒性等,不仅给生态环境造成了威胁,而且可通过食物链进入人体给健康带来危害。因此,去除环境中的DEHP备受关注。DEHP的生物降解被认为是最绿色环保的降解方式,目前已有不少关于DEHP生物降解的研究报道。本文综述了DEHP的污染及危害、细菌生物降解现状,重点介绍了DEHP经酯键水解、β氧化、原儿茶酸降解、苯甲酸降解以及三羧酸循环等过程实现完全降解的途径,以及从基因层面阐述DEHP降解的分子机制,并针对DEHP生物降解目前还存在的问题进行总结和展望,为环境中DEHP有效生物降解提供参考。

Biodegradation of alkylpyridines by bacteria isolated from a polluted subsurface

Ten bacterial strains were isolated fromalkylpyridine polluted sediments 7.6 m below thesurface. These strains were able to degrade 11different alkylpyridine isomers. Degradation ratesdepended on number and position of the alkyl group. Isomers with an alkyl group at position 3 were moreresistant to microbial attack. Of the 10 strains, 6isolates were selected for detailed study. Theseisolates mineralized the isomers to CO₂,NH₄ ⁺, and biomass. All strains weregram-negative rods with a strict aerobic metabolism. Characterization of physiological and biochemicalproperties revealed similarity between strains. Eeachstrain however, had a limited substrate range whichenabled it to degrade no more than 2 to 3 compounds ofthe 14 alkylpyridine isomers tested. Examination ofthe genetic variability among cultures with therandomly amplified polymorphic DNA technique revealedhigh levels of genomic DNA polymorphism. The highestsimilarity between 2 strains (0.653) was observedbetween 2-picoline and 3-picoline degrading cultures. The molecular basis of the differences in substratespecificity is under investigation.

Degradation of 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol at low temperature and low dioxygen concentrations by phylogenetically different groundwater and bioreactor bacteria

Effects of low temperature and low oxygen partial pressure on theoccurrence and activity of 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol degrading bacteria in a boreal chlorophenol contaminated groundwater and a full-scale fluidized-bed bioreactor were studied using four polychlorophenol degrading bacterial isolates of different phylogenetic backgrounds. These included an -proteobacterial Sphingomonas sp. strain MT1 isolated from the full-scale bioreactor and three isolates from the contaminated groundwater whichwere identified as -proteobacterial Herbaspirillum sp. K1,a Gram-positive bacterium with high G + C content Nocardioides sp. K44 and an -proteobacterialSphingomonas sp. K74. The Sphingomonasstrains K74 and MT1 and Nocardioides sp. K44 degraded2,4,6-trichlorophenol and 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol as the solecarbon and energy sources. Close to stoichiometric inorganic chloride release with the 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol removal andthe absence of methylation products indicated mineralization. Tetrachlorophenol degradation by the Herbaspirillum sp. K1 was enhanced by yeast extract, malate, glutamate, pyruvate, peptone and casitone. At 8 °C, Sphingomonas sp. K74 had the highest specific degradation rate(_max = 4.9 × 10^-12 mg h^-1 cell^-1) for 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol. The Nocardioides strain K44 had the highest affinity (K_s = 0.46 mg l^-1) for tetrachlorophenol. K1 and MT1 grew microaerophilically in semisolid glucose medium. Furthermore, the growth of MT1 was inhibited in liquidglucose medium at high oxygen partial pressure indicating sensitivity to accumulating toxic oxygen species. On the other hand, trichlorophenol degradation was not affected by oxygen concentration (2–21%). The isolates K44, K74 and MT1, with optimum growth temperaturesbetween 23 and 25 °C, degraded tetrachlorophenol faster at 8 °C than at room temperature indicating distinctly different temperature optima for chlorophenol degradation and growthon complex media. These results show efficient polychlorophenol degradation by the isolates at the boreal groundwater conditions, i.e., at low temperature and low oxygen concentrations. Differences in chlorophenol degradation and sensitivities to chlorophenols and oxygen among the isolates indicate that the phylogenetically different chlorophenol degraders have found different niches in the contaminated groundwater and thus potential for contaminantdegradation under a variety of saturated subsurface conditions.

Nitrogen fixation by photosynthetic bacteria

In 1949, Howard Gest and Martin Kamen published two brief papers in Science that changed our perceptions about the metabolic capabilities of photosynthetic bacteria. Their discovery of photoproduction of hydrogen and the ability of Rhodospirillum rubrum to fix nitrogen led to a greater understanding of both processes. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Tributyl phosphate degradation by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rhodopseudomonas palustris</Emphasis> and other photosynthetic bacteria

Tributyl phosphate (TBP) is widely used in nuclear fuel processing and other waste generating chemical industries. Although TBP is bacteriostatic, some microbes are resistant to it and may degrade it. Under dark aerobiosis, purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria degraded up to 0.6 mM TBP, initially present at 2 mm, within 3 weeks and under photosynthetic conditions, Rhodopseudomonas palustris degraded 1.6 mM TBP within 3 weeks. The curing of the Rhodopseudomonas palustris endogenous plasmid demonstrated that the genes involved in the TBP degradation are chromosomal.
