Phosphotriesterases catalyze the first step of organophosphorus triester degradation. The bacterial phosphotriesterases purified and characterized to date hydrolyze mainly aryl dialkyl phosphates, such as parathion, paraoxon, and chlorpyrifos. In this study, we purified and cloned two novel phosphotriesterases from Sphingomonas sp. strain TDK1 and Sphingobium sp. strain TCM1 that hydrolyze tri(haloalkyl)phosphates, and we named these enzymes haloalkylphosphorus hydrolases (TDK-HAD and TCM-HAD, respectively). Both HADs are monomeric proteins with molecular masses of 59.6 (TDK-HAD) and 58.4 kDa (TCM-HAD). The enzyme activities were affected by the addition of divalent cations, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis suggested that zinc is a native cofactor for HADs. These enzymes hydrolyzed not only chlorinated organophosphates but also a brominated organophosphate [tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate], as well as triaryl phosphates (tricresyl and triphenyl phosphates). Paraoxon-methyl and paraoxon were efficiently degraded by TCM-HAD, whereas TDK-HAD showed weak activity toward these substrates. Dichlorvos was degraded only by TCM-HAD. The enzymes displayed weak or no activity against trialkyl phosphates and organophosphorothioates. The TCM-HAD and TDK-HAD genes were cloned and found to encode proteins of 583 and 574 amino acid residues, respectively. The primary structures of TCM-HAD and TDK-HAD were very similar, and the enzymes also shared sequence similarity with fenitrothion hydrolase (FedA) of Burkholderia sp. strain NF100 and organophosphorus hydrolase (OphB) of Burkholderia sp. strain JBA3. However, the substrate specificities and quaternary structures of the HADs were largely different from those of FedA and OphB. These results show that HADs from sphingomonads are novel members of the bacterial phosphotriesterase family. 相似文献

The dibenzofuran-degrading bacterium Sphingomonas sp. strain RW1 (R.-M. Wittich, H. Wilkes, V. Sinnwell, W. Francke, and P. Fortnagel, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 58:1005-1010, 1992) attacks 4-chlorodibenzofuran on the unsubstituted aromatic ring via distal dioxygenation adjacent to the ether bridge to produce 3(prm1)-chloro-2,2(prm1),3-trihydroxybiphenyl, which was identified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The compound is subsequently meta cleaved, and the respective intermediate is hydrolyzed to form a C-5 moiety, which is further degraded to Krebs cycle intermediates and to 3-chlorosalicylate. This dead-end product is released into the culture medium. A coculture of strain RW1 and the 3,5-dichlorosalicylate-degrading strain Burkholderia sp. strain JWS (A. Schindowski, R.-M. Wittich, and P. Fortnagel, FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 84:63-70, 1991) is able to completely degrade 4-chlorodibenzofuran with concomitant release of Cl(sup-) and formation of biomass. 相似文献

Alkalophilic, nylon oligomer-degrading strains, Agromyces sp. and Kocuria sp., were isolated from the wastewater of a nylon-6 factory and from activated sludge from a sewage disposal plant. The 6-aminohexanoate oligomer hydrolases (NylC) from the alkalophilic strains had 95.8 to 98.6% similarity to the enzyme in neutrophilic Arthrobacter sp. but had superior thermostability, activity under alkaline conditions, and affinity for nylon-related substrates, which would be advantageous for biotechnological applications. 相似文献

Methylobacterium sp. strain CM4 metabolized chloromethane quantitatively with a molar yield of 2.8 g of whole-cell protein/mol of C. This value was similar to that observed after growth with methanol (2.9 g of protein/mol of C) and about three times larger than the yield with formate (0.94 g of protein/mol of C). Chloromethane dehalogenation activity was inducible. MiniTn5 transposon insertion mutants with altered growth characteristics with chloromethane and other C1 compounds were isolated and characterized. Nine of these were unable to grow with chloromethane but were able to grow with methanol, methylamine, or formate. Seventy-three transposon mutants that were defective in the utilization of either methanol, methylamine, methanol plus methylamine, or formate could still grow with chloromethane. Based on the protein yield data and the properties of the transposon mutants, we propose a pathway for chloromethane metabolism that depends on methyltransferase and dehydrogenase activities. 相似文献

Methanosarcina sp. strain TM-1, an acetotrophic, thermophilic methanogen isolated from an anaerobic sludge digestor, was originally reported to require an anaerobic sludge supernatant for growth. It was found that the sludge supernatant could be replaced with yeast extract (1 g/liter), 6 mM bicarbonate-30% CO2, and trace metals, with a doubling time on methanol of 14 h. For growth on either methanol or acetate, yeast extract could be replaced with CaCl2 · 2H2O (13.6 μM minimum) and the vitamin p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA, ca. 3 nM minimum), with a doubling time on methanol of 8 to 9 h. Filter-sterilized folic acid at 0.3 μM could not replace PABA. The antimetabolite sulfanilamide (20 mM) inhibited growth of and methanogenesis by Methanosarcina sp. strain TM-1, and this inhibition was reversed by the addition of 0.3 μM PABA. When a defined medium buffered with 20 mM N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid was used, it was shown that Methanosarcina sp. strain TM-1 required 6 mM bicarbonate-30% CO2 for optimal growth and methanogenesis from methanol. Cells growing on acetate were less dependent on bicarbonate-CO2. When we used a defined medium in which the only organic compounds present were methanol or acetate, nitrilotriacetic acid (0.2 mM), and PABA, it was possible to limit batch cultures of Methanosarcina sp. strain TM-1 for nitrogen at NH4+ concentrations at or below 2.0 mM, in marked contrast with Methanosarcina barkeri 227, which fixes dinitrogen when grown under NH4+ limitation. 相似文献

The possibility of using two kinds of sorghum as raw materials in consolidated bioprocessing bioethanol production using Flammulina velutipes was investigated. Enzymatic saccharification of sweet sorghum was not as high as in brown mid-rib (bmr) mutated sorghum, but the amount of ethanol production was higher. Ethanol production from bmr mutated sorghum significantly increased when saccharification enzymes were added to the culture. 相似文献

Amycolatopsis sp. strain HT-6, a poly(tetramethylene succinate) (PTMS)-degrading actinomycete, was observed to degrade poly(tetramethylene carbonate) (PTMC). In a liquid culture with 150 mg of PTMC film, 59% degradation was achieved, but with a low yield of cell growth. On the other hand, PTMS copolymerized with a small amount of PTMC, forming a copolyester carbonate (PEC) that was completely and rapidly degraded with a high yield of cell growth. 相似文献

The kinetics of acetate utilization were examined for washed concentrated cell suspensions of two thermophilic acetotrophic methanogens isolated from a 58°C anaerobic digestor. Progress curves for acetate utilization by cells of Methanosarcina sp. strain CALS-1 showed that the utilization rate was concentration independent (zero order) above concentrations near 3 mM and that acetate utilization ceased when a threshold concentration near 1 mM was reached. Acetate utilization by cells of Methanothrix sp. strain CALS-1 was concentration independent down to 0.1 to 0.2 mM, and threshold values of 12 to 21 μM were observed. Typical utilization rates in the concentration-independent stage were 210 and 130 nmol min−1 mg of protein−1 for the methanosarcina and the methanothrix, respectively. These results are in agreement with a general model in which high acetate concentrations favor Methanosarcina spp., while low concentrations favor Methanothrix spp. However, acetate utilization by these two strains did not follow simple Michaelis-Menton kinetics. 相似文献

A bacterium capable of utilizing p-cresol as sole source of carbon and energy was isolated from soil and identified as a Bacillus species. The organism also utilized phenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and gentisic acid as growth substrates.
The organism degraded p-cresol to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, which was further metabolized by a gentisate pathway, as evidenced
by isolation and identification of metabolites and enzyme activities in the cell-free extract. Such a bacterial strain can
be used for bioremediation of environments contaminated with phenolic compounds. 相似文献

A screening for dye-decolorizing alkali-thermophilic microorganisms resulted in a Bacillus sp. strain isolated out of the wastewater drain of a textile finishing company. An NADH-dependent azoreductase of this strain, Bacillus sp. strain SF, was found to be responsible for the decolorization of azo dyes. This enzyme was purified by a combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation and anion-exchange and affinity chromatography and had a molecular mass of 61.6 kDa and an isoelectric point at pH 5.3. The pH optimum of the azoreductase depended on the substrate and was within the range of pHs 8 to 9, while the temperature maximum was reached at 80°C. Decolorization only took place in the absence of oxygen and was enhanced by FAD, which was not consumed during the reaction. A 26% similarity of this azoreductase to chaperonin Cpn60 from a Bacillus sp. was found by peptide mass mapping experiments. Substrate specificities of the azoreductase were studied by using synthesized model substrates based on di-sodium-(R)-benzyl-azo-2,7-dihydroxy-3,6-disulfonyl-naphthaline. Those dyes with NO2 substituents, especially in the ortho position, were degraded fastest, while analogues with a methyl substitution showed the lowest degradation rates. 相似文献

When incubated at 25°C, N2-grown cells of Frankia strain EAN1pec actively accumulated calcium, while NH4Cl-grown cells did not accumulate calcium. When incubated at 0°C, both N2-grown and NH4Cl-grown cells did not actively accumulate calcium. Inhibitors of respiration inhibited calcium accumulation by N2-grown cells at 25°C. Isolated vesicles also accumulated calcium in an energy- and temperature-dependent manner. Two lines
of evidence show that Frankia strain EAN1pec has an active calcium extrusion mechanism. First, NH4Cl-grown cells incubated under deenergizing conditions accumulated calcium. Second, calcium efflux from calcium-loaded cells
required an energy source and was blocked by inhibitors. The results of this study indicate that Frankia strain EAN1pec has two systems for calcium transport: a calcium extrusion system and a developmentally regulated calcium
uptake system.

Dibenzo-p-dioxin was oxidatively cleaved by the dibenzofuran-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain HH69 to produce minor amounts of 1-hydroxydibenzo-p-dioxin and catechol, while a 2-phenoxy derivative of muconic acid was formed as the major product. Upon acidic methylation, the latter yielded the dimethylester of cis, trans-2-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)-muconic acid. 相似文献

Bacterial iodate (IO3−) reduction is poorly understood largely due to the limited number of available isolates as well as the paucity of information about key enzymes involved in the reaction. In this study, an iodate-reducing bacterium, designated strain SCT, was newly isolated from marine sediment slurry. SCT is phylogenetically closely related to the denitrifying bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri and reduced 200 μM iodate to iodide (I−) within 12 h in an anaerobic culture containing 10 mM nitrate. The strain did not reduce iodate under the aerobic conditions. An anaerobic washed cell suspension of SCT reduced iodate when the cells were pregrown anaerobically with 10 mM nitrate and 200 μM iodate. However, cells pregrown without iodate did not reduce it. The cells in the former category showed methyl viologen-dependent iodate reductase activity (0.31 U mg−1), which was located predominantly in the periplasmic space. Furthermore, SCT was capable of anaerobic growth with 3 mM iodate as the sole electron acceptor, and the cells showed enhanced activity with respect to iodate reductase (2.46 U mg−1). These results suggest that SCT is a dissimilatory iodate-reducing bacterium and that its iodate reductase is induced by iodate under anaerobic growth conditions. 相似文献
