Bacterial strain M213 was isolated from a fuel oil-contaminated soil in Idaho, USA, by growth on naphthalene as a sole source of carbon, and was identified as Rhodococcus opacus M213 by 16S rDNA sequence analysis and growth on substrates characteristic of this species. M213 was screened for growth on a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons, and growth was observed only on simple 1 and 2 ring compounds. No growth or poor growth was observed with chlorinated aromatic compounds such as 2,4-dichlorophenol and chlorobenzoates. No growth was observed by M213 on salicylate, and M213 resting cells grown on naphthalene did not attack salicylate. In addition, no salicylate hydroxylase activity was detected in cell free lysates, suggesting a pathway for naphthalene catabolism that does not pass through salicylate. Enzyme assays indicated induction of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase on different substrates. Total DNA from M213 was screened for hybridization with a variety of genes encoding catechol dioxygenases, but hybridization was observed only with catA (encoding catechol 1,2-dioxygenase) from R. opacus 1CP and edoD (encoding catechol 2,3-dioxygenase) from Rhodococcus sp. I1. Plasmid analysis indicated the presence of two plasmids (pNUO1 and pNUO2). edoD hybridized to pNUO1, a very large (approximately 750 kb) linear plasmid. 相似文献

Plasmid-borne Tn5 insertion mutants of a Pseudomonas species which accumulated 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate (gentisate) following growth on 2-hydroxybenzoate (salicylate) were obtained from a pool of mutants that were unable to grow on naphthalene. One such mutant was characterized further. The ability of this mutant to oxidize gentisate was 100-fold less than the ability of a Nah+ Sal+ strain harboring the unmutagenized plasmid, although both strains oxidized and grew on salicylate. These bacteria were presumably able to metabolize salicylate via catechol, since they possessed an inducible, plasmid-encoded catechol 2,3-dioxygenase. Our results suggest that there is an alternate, plasmid-encoded route of salicylate degradation via gentisate and that some plasmid-associated relationship between this pathway and naphthalene oxidation exists. 相似文献

New Planococcus sp. strain S5 able to grow on salicylate or benzoate as sole carbon source was isolated from activated sludge adapted to sodium salicylate degradation. S5 was determined to be a strictly aerobic, gram-positive, catalase positive, oxidase negative, non-motile, non-spore forming coccus. The strain harboured a plasmid, named pLS5. The S5 strain when grown on salicylate expressed both catechol 1,2-dioxygenase and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activities and degraded this substrate by both the ortho and meta pathways while grown on benzoate expressed only catechol 1,2-dioxygenase activity. Curing of the plasmid from the strain showed that plasmid pLS5 was involved in salicylate degradation by the meta pathway. 相似文献

The ability of strain Rhodococcus opacus 1CP to utilize 3-hydroxybenzoate (3-HBA) and gentisate in concentrations up to 600 and 700 mg/L, respectively, as sole carbon and energy sources in liquid mineral media was demonstrated. Using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and thin-layer chromatography, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate (gentisate) was identified as the key intermediate of 3-hydroxybenzoate transformation. In the cell-free extracts of the strain grown on 3-HBA or gentisate, the activities of 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase, gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase, and maleylpyruvate isomerase were detected. During growth on 3-HBA, low activity of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase was detected. Based on the data obtained, the pathway of 3-HBA metabolism by strain R. opacus 1CP was proposed. 相似文献

Pseudomonas sp. strain PPD and Alcaligenes sp. strain PPH isolated from soil by enrichment culture technique utilize 2-, 3- and 4-hydroxybenzoates as the sole source of carbon and energy. The degradation pathways were elucidated by performing whole-cell O(2) uptake, enzyme activity and induction studies. Depending on the mixture of carbon source and the preculture condition, strain PPH was found to degrade 2-hydroxybenzoate either via the catechol or gentisate route and has both salicylate 1-hydroxylase and salicylate 5-hydroxylase. Strain PPD utilizes 2-hydroxybenzoate via gentisate. Both strains degrade 3- and 4-hydroxybenzoate via gentisate and protocatechuate, respectively. Enzymes were induced by respective hydroxybenzoate. Growth pattern, O(2) uptake and enzyme activity profiles on the mixture of three hydroxybenzoates as a carbon source suggest coutilization by both strains. When 3- or 4-hydroxybenzoate grown culture was used as an inoculum, strain PPH failed to utilize 2-hydroxybenzoate via catechol, indicating the modulation of the metabolic pathways, thus generating metabolic diversity. 相似文献

Eight actinomycetes of the genera Amycolatopsis and Streptomyces were tested for the degradation of aromatic compounds by growth in a liquid medium containing benzoate, monohydroxylated benzoates, or quinate as the principal carbon source. Benzoate was converted to catechol. The key intermediate in the degradation of salicylate was either catechol or gentisate, while m-hydroxybenzoate was metabolized via gentisate or protocatechuate. p-Hydroxybenzoate and quinate were converted to protocatechuate. Catechol, gentisate, and protocatechuate were cleaved by catechol 1,2-dioxygenase, gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase, and protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase, respectively. The requirement for glutathione in the gentisate pathway was dependent on the substrate and the particular strain. The conversion of p-hydroxybenzoate to protocatechuate by p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase was gratuitously induced by all substrates that were metabolized via protocatechuate as an intermediate, while protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase was gratuitously induced by benzoate and salicylate in two Amycolatopsis strains. 相似文献

Three Pseudomonas strains were tested for the ability to sense and respond to nitrobenzoate and aminobenzoate isomers in chemotaxis assays. Pseudomonas putida PRS2000, a strain that grows on benzoate and 4-hydroxybenzoate by using the beta-ketoadipate pathway, has a well-characterized beta-ketoadipate-inducible chemotactic response to aromatic acids. PRS2000 was chemotactic to 3- and 4-nitrobenzoate and all three isomers of aminobenzoate when grown under conditions that induce the benzoate chemotactic response. P. putida TW3 and Pseudomonas sp. strain 4NT grow on 4-nitrotoluene and 4-nitrobenzoate by using the ortho (beta-ketoadipate) and meta pathways, respectively, to complete the degradation of protocatechuate derived from 4-nitrotoluene and 4-nitrobenzoate. However, based on results of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase assays, both strains were found to use the beta-ketoadipate pathway for the degradation of benzoate. Both strains were chemotactic to benzoate, 3- and 4-nitrobenzoate, and all three aminobenzoate isomers after growth with benzoate but not succinate. Strain TW3 was chemotactic to the same set of aromatic compounds after growth with 4-nitrotoluene or 4-nitrobenzoate. In contrast, strain 4NT did not respond to any aromatic acids when grown with 4-nitrotoluene or 4-nitrobenzoate, apparently because these substrates are not metabolized to the inducer (beta-ketoadipate) of the chemotaxis system. The results suggest that strains TW3 and 4NT have a beta-ketoadipate-inducible chemotaxis system that responds to a wide range of aromatic acids and is quite similar to that present in PRS2000. The broad specificity of this chemotaxis system works as an advantage in strains TW3 and 4NT because it functions to detect diverse carbon sources, including 4-nitrobenzoate. 相似文献

A new sulfate-reducing bacterium was enriched and isolated from marine sediment with phenol as sole electron donor and carbon source. Strain Ph01 grew well in defined media without growth factors. Further aromatic compounds oxidized by strain Ph01 were benzoate, phenylacetate, 2-hydroxybenzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, 4-hydroxyphenylacetate, p-cresol, indole, anthranilic acid, and phenylalanine. Various fatty acids, alcohols and dicarboxylic acids were also utilized by strain Ph01. Sulfate and thiosulfate served as electron acceptors and were reduced to H2S. Stoichiometric measurements with strain Ph01 showed complete oxidation of phenol to CO2. Cytochromes and menaquinone MK-7(H2) were present; desulfoviridin could not be detected. Strain Ph01 is described as type strain of the new species Desulfobacterium phenolicum.In further marine enrichments with 4-hydroxybenzoate, 4-hydroxyphenylacetate, p-cresol or o-cresol as substrates and sulfate as electron acceptor a variety of morphologically different sulfate-reducing bacteria developed. However, since the new isolate strain Ph01 was able to degrade all these aromatic compounds (except o-cresol) no further studies with the enrichment cultures were carried out. 相似文献

Abstract A Pseudomonas sp. strain JWS was isolated from an enrichment culture with 3,5-dichlorosalicylate as the sole source of carbon and energy. Additionally, 3-chloro-, 5-chloro-, and 3,5-dibromosalicylate, but not 4-chlorosalicylate were mineralized by the organism. During growth on the chlorosalicylates, stoichiometric amounts of chloride were released into the culture medium. In the presence of both salicylate and 3,5-dichlorosalicylate, high activities were induced for the turnover of non-halogenated as well as halogenated salicylates. Enzyme activities assayed in crude cell extracts which are responsible for the oxidation of catechol and its halogenated derivatives as well as those for cycloisomerization of cis,cis -muconate and its 2,4-dichloro derivative provided indications for the involvement of inducible type II catechol 1,2-dioxygenase and muconate cycloisomerase in biodegradation of halogenated salicylates. 相似文献

A pure bacterial culture was isolated by its ability to utilize 3-nitrotoluene (3NT) as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy for growth. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene showed that the organism (strain ZWL3NT) belongs to the genus Rhodococcus. A rapid disappearance of 3NT with concomitant release of nitrite was observed when strain ZWL3NT was grown on 3NT. The isolate also grew on 2-nitrotoluene, 3-methylcatechol and catechol. Two metabolites, 3-methylcatechol and 2-methyl-cis,cis-muconate, in the reaction mixture were detected after incubation of cells of strain ZWL3NT with 3NT. Enzyme assays showed the presence of both catechol 1,2-dioxygenase and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase in strain ZWL3NT. In addition, a catechol degradation gene cluster (catRABC cluster) for catechol ortho-cleavage pathway was cloned from this strain and cell extracts of Escherichia coli expressing CatA and CatB exhibited catechol 1,2-dioxygenase activity and cis,cis-muconate cycloisomerase activity, respectively. These experimental evidences suggest a novel pathway for 3NT degradation with 3-methylcatechol as a key metabolite by Rhodococcus sp. strain ZWL3NT. 相似文献

Six species of free-living nitrogen fixing bacteria, Azomonas agilis, Azospirillum brasilense, Azospirillum lipoferum, Azotobacter chroococcum, Azotobacter vinelandii, and Beijerinckia mobilis, were surveyed for their ability to grow and fix N2 using aromatic compounds as sole carbon and energy source. All six species grew and expressed nitrogenase activity on benzoate, catechol, 4-hydroxybenzoate, naphthalene, protocatechuate, and 4-toluate. In many cases, growth rates on one or more aromatic compounds were comparable to or greater than those on the non-aromatic substrates routinely used for cultivation of the organisms. Specific activity of nitrogenase in extracts of aromatic-grown cells often exceeded that in cells grown on non-aromatic substrates. All six species growing on substrates typically converted to catechol expressed inducible catechol 1,2-dioxygenase and/or catechol 2,3-dioxygenase. When grown on substrates typically converted to protocatechuate, inducible protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase and/or protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase was expressed. A. chroococcum expressed only ortho cleavage dioxygenases during growth on naphthalene and 4-toluate and only meta cleavage dioxygenases on the other aromatics. B. mobilis expressed only ortho cleavage dioxygenases. The other four species examined expressed both ortho and meta cleavage enzymes.A preliminary account of this work was presented at the 91st General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology, Dallas, TX, 1991 相似文献

In the course of our screening for dibenzo-p-dioxin-utilizing bacteria, a Sphingomonas sp. strain was isolated from enrichment cultures inoculated with water samples from the river Elbe. The isolate grew with both the biaryl ethers dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran (DF) as the sole sources of carbon and energy, showing doubling times of about 8 and 5 h, respectively. Biodegradation of the two aromatic compounds initially proceeded after an oxygenolytic attack at the angular position adjacent to the ether bridge, producing 2,2',3-trihydroxydiphenyl ether or 2,2',3-trihydroxybiphenyl from the initially formed dihydrodiols, which represent extremely unstable hemiacetals. Results obtained from determinations of enzyme activities and oxygen consumption suggest meta cleavage of the trihydroxy compounds. During dibenzofuran degradation, hydrolysis of 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-hexa-2,4-dienoate yielded salicylate, which was branched into the catechol meta cleavage pathway and the gentisate pathway. Catechol obtained from the product of meta ring fission of 2,2',3-trihydroxydiphenyl ether was both ortho and meta cleaved by Sphingomonas sp. strain RW1 when this organism was grown with dibenzo-p-dioxin. 相似文献

Mineralization of monofluorobenzoate by a diculture under sulfate-reducing conditions 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Abstract A mesophilic, dehalogenating, sulfate-reducing diculture was isolated from an anaerobic lake sediment. One strain of the diculture is proposed to be an endospore-forming Desulfotomaculum species, the second strain was a vibrioid, motile and non-sporeforming species which is tentatively assigned to the genus Desulfovibrio . The diculture was able to mineralize 4- and 2-fluorobenzoate both isomers being incompletely oxidized with the release of acetate, which was subsequently used by both sulfate-reducing strains. Other electron donors used for growth included benzoate, 3- and 4-hydroxybenzoate, protocatechuate, catechol, phenol, 2,5-dimethoxyphenol, fatty acids up to C8 , malate and pyruvate. The culture obtained from a freshwater habitat grew optimally at NaCl concentrations of 0.3–0.5 g 1−1 , 33–37°C, and pH 7.4. Our experiments showed that certain fluorinated aromatic hydrocarbons could serve as sole sources of carbon and energy for sulfate-reducing bacteria. 相似文献

Pseudomonas sp. strain JS6 grows on a wide range of chloro- and methylaromatic substrates. The simultaneous degradation of these compounds is prevented in most previously studied isolates because the catabolic pathways are incompatible. The purpose of this study was to determine whether strain JS6 could degrade mixtures of chloro- and methyl-substituted aromatic compounds. Strain JS6 was maintained in a chemostat on a minimal medium with toluene or chlorobenzene as the sole carbon source, supplied via a syringe pump. Strain JS6 contained an active catechol 2,3-dioxygenase when grown in the presence of chloroaromatic compounds; however, in cell extracts, this enzyme was strongly inhibited by 3-chlorocatechol. When cells grown to steady state on toluene were exposed to 50% toluene-50% chlorobenzene, 3-chlorocatechol and 3-methylcatechol accumulated in the medium and the cell density decreased. After 3 h, the enzyme activities of the modified ortho ring fission pathway were induced, the metabolites disappeared, and the cell density returned to previous levels. In cell extracts, 3-methylcatechol was degraded by both catechol 1,2- and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase. Strain JS62, a catechol 2,3-dioxygenase mutant of JS6, grew on toluene, and ring cleavage of 3-methylcatechol was catalyzed by catechol 1,2-dioxygenase. The transient metabolite 2-methyllactone was identified in chlorobenzene-grown JS6 cultures exposed to toluene. These results indicate that strain JS6 can degrade mixtures of chloro- and methylaromatic compounds by means of a modified ortho ring fission pathway. 相似文献
