Several strains of the family Rhizobiaceae were tested for their ability to degrade the phosphonate herbicide glyphosate (isopropylamine salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine). All organisms tested (seven Rhizobium meliloti strains, Rhizobium leguminosarum, Rhizobium galega, Rhizobium trifolii, Agrobacterium rhizogenes, and Agrobacterium tumefaciens) were able to grow on glyphosate as the sole source of phosphorus in the presence of the aromatic amino acids, although growth on glyphosate was not as fast as on Pi. These results suggest that glyphosate degradation ability is widespread in the family Rhizobiaceae. Uptake and metabolism of glyphosate were studied by using R. meliloti 1021. Sarcosine was found to be the immediate breakdown product, indicating that the initial cleavage of glyphosate was at the C—P bond. Therefore, glyphosate breakdown in R. meliloti 1021 is achieved by a C—P lyase activity. 相似文献

A strain of bacteria has been isolated which rapidly and efficiently utilizes the herbicide glyphosate (N-phosphonomethylglycine) as its sole phosphorus source in a synthetic medium. The strain (PG2982) was isolated by subculturing Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 in a synthetic broth medium containing glyphosate as the sole phosphorus source. Strain PG2982 differs from the culture of P. aeruginosa in that it is nonflagellated, does not produce pyocyanin, and has an absolute requirement for thiamine. Strain PG2982 has been tentatively identified as a Pseudomonas sp. strain by its biochemical activities and moles percent guanine plus cytosine. Measurements of glyphosate with an amino acid analyzer show that glyphosate rapidly disappears from the medium during exponential growth of strain PG2982. In batch culture at 30°C, this isolate completely utilized 1.0 mM glyphosate in 96 h and yielded a cell density equal to that obtained with 1.0 mM phosphate as the phosphorus source. However, a longer lag phase and greater generation time were noted in the glyphosate-containing medium. Strain PG2982 can efficiently utilize glyphosate as an alternate phosphorus source. 相似文献

The uptake of glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl]glycine) by an Arthrobacter sp. which can utilize this herbicide as its sole source of phosphorus was investigated. Orthophosphate suppressed the expression of the uptake system for glyphosate and also competed with glyphosate for uptake. The Km for glyphosate uptake was 125 μM, and the Ki for orthophosphate was 24 μM. Organophosphonates as well as organophosphates inhibited glyphosate uptake, but only organophosphates and orthophosphate suppressed the uptake system. Glyphosate uptake was energy dependent, had a pH optimum of 6 to 7, and was differentially affected by divalent cations. 相似文献

Production of surfactant by Arthrobacter paraffineus ATCC 19558 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A. paraffineus ATCC 19558 grown in MMSM (modified mineral salts medium) containing hydrocarbon produced surfactant, with a maximum CMC(-1) value obtained by using hexadecane as the carbon source. No activity of surface active agent in whole broth was observed when glucose was used in the MMSM instead of hexadecane. The biomass concentration obtained with glucose was about 40% of that obtained with hexadecane. Glucose (4%) in the medium contaning hexadecane caused a 27 and 21% decrease of biomass and surfactant concentrations, respectively. In the process of surfactant production, glucose can be used as a carbon source for growth, and hexadecane added later can serve for production of the surface active agent. The optimum temperature for production of surfactant is 27 degrees C. 相似文献

An organism isolated from soil and identified as Arthrobacter sp. was studied for its squalene degradation. The degradation product from squalene, which accumulated in the culture broth, was isolated and identified as trans-geranylacetone by mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, infrared spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. Addition of a high concentration of K2HPO4 to the culture medium resulted in accumulation of fairly large amounts of carboxylic acids in addition to geranylacetone. These carboxylic acids were identified as isovaleric, β,β′-dimethylacrylic, geranic, and (+)-(R)-citronellic acids. Among these acids, α,β-saturated carboxylic acids were found to be predominant in quantity. 相似文献

An aerobic microorganism with an ability to utilize phenol as carbon and energy source was isolated from a hydrocarbon contamination
site by employing selective enrichment culture technique. The isolate was identified as Arthrobacter citreus based on morphological, physiological and biochemical tests. This mesophilic organism showed optimal growth at 25°C and at
pH of 7.0. The phenol utilization studies with Arthrobacter citreus showed that the complete assimilation occurred in 24 hours. The organism metabolized phenol up to 22 mM concentrations whereas
higher levels were inhibitory. Thin layer chromatography, UV spectral and enzyme analysis were suggestive of catechol, as
a key intermediate of phenol metabolism. The enzyme activities of phenol hydroxylase and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase in cell
free extracts of Arthrobacter citreus were indicative of operation of a meta-cleavage pathway for phenol degradation. The organism had additional ability to degrade catechol, cresols and naphthol. The
degradation rates of phenol by alginate and agar immobilized cells in batch fermentations showed continuous phenol metabolism
for a period of eight days. 相似文献

A mixed population, enriched and established in a defined medium, from a sewage sludge inoculum was capable of complete mineralization of 4-chlorobenzoate. An organism, identified as Arthrobacter sp., was isolated from the consortium and shown to be capable of utilizing 4-chlorobenzoate as the sole carbon and energy source in pure culture. This organism (strain TM-1), dehalogenated 4-chlorobenzoate as the initial step in the degradative pathway. The product, 4-hydroxybenzoate, was further metabolized via protocatechuate. The ability of strain TM-1 to degrade 4-chlorobenzoate in liquid medium at 25°C was improved by the use of continuous culture and repeated sequential subculturing. Other chlorinated benzoates and the parent compound benzoate did not support growth of strain TM-1. An active cell extract was prepared and shown to dehalogenate 4-chloro-, 4-fluoro-, and 4-bromobenzoate. Dehalogenase activity had an optimum pH of 6.8 and an optimum temperature of 20°C and was inhibited by dissolved oxygen and stimulated by manganese (Mn2+). Strain improvement resulted in an increase in the specific activity of the cell extract from 0.09 to 0.85 nmol of 4-hydroxybenzoate per min per mg of protein and a decrease in the doubling time of the organism from 50 to 1.6 h. 相似文献

This study assesses the risks in ecological restoration arising from transplanting into soil containing glyphosate residues. Four Australian restoration species were grown for 60 days in nonadsorbing media treated continuously with glyphosate to establish threshold concentrations for damage. Visual signs of injury were observed in three species, and severe effects on root growth in all species, at solution concentrations as low as 18 mg/L. Only the perennial grass Themeda sp. died at this concentration, with other species surviving at concentrations in the range 36–360 mg/L, beyond which all plants died. Fourteen days exposure followed by removal of glyphosate from root media produced similar effects. Field and glasshouse experiments with the relatively tolerant tree species Angophora costata showed that application rates in the range 10–50 L/ha of herbicide product (360 g/L) would be needed to sustain damage to young plants transplanted into soil typical of local restoration sites. The volume of spray delivered using a hand‐operated sprayer varied between operators by 5‐ and 10‐fold to complete the same tasks, at the high end presenting a potential risk to the most tolerant species under field conditions, even when spray concentrations follow label instructions. For all but the most sensitive species, the risk of glyphosate residues in ecological restoration should be minimized by training operators of unregulated applicators to deliver controlled volumes of herbicide when spot spraying prior to transplanting. 相似文献

Glyphosate is a globally popular herbicide to kill weeds and its wide applications may lead to accumulation in coastal oceans as a source of phosphorus (P) nutrient or growth inhibitor of phytoplankton. We studied the physiological effects of glyphosate on fourteen species representing five major coastal phytoplankton phyla (haptophyta, bacillariophyta, dinoflagellata, raphidophyta, and chlorophyta). Based on growth responses to different concentrations of glyphosate under contrasting dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) conditions, we found that phytoplankton species could be classified into five groups. Group I (Emiliania huxleyi, Skeletonema costatum, Phaeodactylum tricornutum) could utilize glyphosate as sole P-source to support growth in axenic culture, but in the presence of DIP, they were inhibited by both 36-μM and 360-μM glyphosate. Group II (Karenia mikimotoi, Prorocentrum minimum, Dunaliella tertiolecta, Symbiodinium sp., Heterosigma akashiwo and Alexandrium catenella) could not utilize glyphosate as sole P-source to support growth, and in the presence of DIP growth was not affected by 36-μM but inhibited by 360-μM glyphosate. Glyphosate consistently enhanced growth of Group III (Isochrysis galbana) and inhibited Group IV (Thalassiosira weissflogii, Thalassiosira pseudonana and Chattonella marina) regardless of DIP condition. Group V (Amphidinium carterae) exhibited no measurable response to glyphosate regardless of DIP condition. This grouping is not congruent with the phylogenetic relationships of the phytoplankton species suggesting functional differentiation driven by environmental pressure. We conclude that glyphosate could be used as P-source by some species while is toxic to some other species and yet has no effects on others. The observed differential effects suggest that the continued use of glyphosate and increasing concentration of this herbicide in the coastal waters will likely exert significant impact on coastal marine phytoplankton community structure. 相似文献

Arthrobacter sp. strain GLP-1, grown on glucose as a carbon source, utilizes the herbicide glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] as its sole source of phosphorus as well as its sole source of nitrogen. The mutant strain GLP-1/Nit-1 utilizes glyphosate as its sole source of nitrogen as well. In strain GLP-1, Pi was a potent competitive inhibitor of glyphosate uptake (Ki, 24 μM), while the affinity of Pi for the uptake system of strain GLP-1/Nit-1 was reduced by 2 orders of magnitude (Ki, 2.3 mM). It is concluded that the inability of strain GLP-1 to utilize glyphosate as a source of nitrogen is due to the stringent control of glyphosate uptake by excess phosphate released during the degradation of the herbicide. 相似文献

Arthrobacter sp. strain NO-18 was first isolated from soil as a bacterium which could degrade the sodium acrylate oligomer and utilize it as the sole source of carbon. When 0.2% (wt/wt) oligomer was added to the culture medium, the acrylate oligomer was found to be degraded by 70 to 80% in 2 weeks, using gel permeation chromatography. To determine the maximum molecular weight for biodegradation, the degradation test was done with the hexamer, heptamer, and octamer, which were separated from the oligomer mixture by fractional gel permeation chromatography. The hexamer and heptamer were consumed to the extents of 58 and 36%, respectively, in 2 weeks, but the octamer was not degraded. Oligomers with three different terminal groups were synthesized to examine the effect of the different terminal groups on biodegradation, but few differences were found. Arthrobacter sp. NO-18 assimilated acrylic acid, propionic acid, glutaric acid, 2-methylglutaric acid, and 1,3,5-pentanetricarboxylic acid. Degradation of the acrylic unit structure by this strain is discussed. 相似文献

Abstract Two pyridine-degrading microorganisms Arthrobacter crystallopoietes (VKM Ac-1334D) and Rhodococcus opacus (VKM Ac-1333D) were isolated from soil. The Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy analysis showed that the former species formed 3-hydroxypyridine, 2,3- and 2,6-dihydroxypyridines during its growth in media containing pyridine, while the latter formed 2-hydroxy- and 2,6-dihydroxypyridines as degradation intermediates. Products of the pyridine ring cleavage (5-amino-2-oxo-4-pentenoic acid and 3-pentenoic acid monoamide) were also detected. 相似文献

Nitrocellulose is one of the most commonly used compounds in ammunition and paint industries and its recalcitrance to degradation has a negative impact on human health and the environment. In this study the capability of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 13541 to degrade nitrocellulose as binder in paint was assayed for the first time. Nitrocellulose-based paint degradation was followed by monitoring the variation in nitrate, nitrite and ammonium content in the culture medium using Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy. At the same time cell counts and ATP assay were performed to estimate bacterial density and activity in all samples. Infrared spectroscopy and colorimetric measurements of paint samples were performed to assess chemical and colour changes due to the microbial action. Microscope observations of nitrocellulose-based paint samples demonstrated the capability of the bacterium to adhere to the paint surface and change the paint adhesive characteristics. Finally, preliminary studies of nitrocellulose degradation pathway were conducted by assaying nitrate- and nitrite reductases activity in D.?desulfuricans grown in presence or in absence of paint. We found that D.?desulfuricans ATCC 13541 is able to transform nitrocellulose as paint binder and we hypothesised ammonification as degradation pathway. The results suggest that D.?desulfuricans ATCC 13541 is a good candidate as a nitrocellulose-degrading bacterium. 相似文献

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) dehalogenase from Arthrobacter sp. strain ATCC 33790 converts PCP to tetrachlorohydroquinone. In labeling experiments with H(2)18O or 18O2, only with H(2)18O was labeled product found. However, unlabeled tetrachlorohydroquinone became labeled after incubation with the enzyme in H(2)18O. Therefore, distinction between an oxygenolytic or a hydrolytic dehalogenation mechanism for the PCP dehalogenase is not possible. 相似文献

Arthrobacter sp. strain ATCC 33790 was grown with pentachlorophenol (PCP) as the sole source of carbon and energy. Crude extracts, which were prepared by disruption of the bacteria with a French pressure cell, showed no dehalogenating activity with PCP as the substrate. After sucrose density ultracentrifugation of the crude extract at 145,000 x g, various layers were found in the gradient. One yellow layer showed enzymatic conversion of PCP. One chloride ion was released per molecule of PCP. The product of the enzymatic conversion was tetrachlorohydroquinone. NADPH and oxygen were essential for this reaction. EDTA stimulated the enzymatic activity by 67%. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity was 7.5, and the temperature optimum was 25 degrees C. Enzymatic activity was also detected with 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, 2,3,4-trichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, and 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorophenol as substrates, whereas 3,4,5-trichlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 3,4-dichlorophenol, and 4-chlorophenol did not serve as substrates. 相似文献

An Arthrobacter sp. growing on 4-Chlorobenzoic acid as its sole source of carbon excretes 4-hydroxygenzoic acid and protocatechuic acid into the culture medium. Protocatechuic acid is further attacked by "meta"-cleavage. During growth of the Arthrobacter sp. on benzoic acid cis-cis muconic acid can be isolated from the medium, suggesting the involvement of the "ortho"-cleavage pathway. The enzymes both for the "meta"- and the "ortho"-cleavage pathway are inducible. 相似文献

A facultative alkalophile capable of utilizing 4-chlorobenzoate (4-CBA), strain SB8, was isolated from soil with an alkaline medium (pH 10.0) containing the haloaromatic compound as the carbon source. The strain, identified as an Arthrobacter sp., showed rather extensive 4-CBA-degrading ability. 4-CBA utilization by the strain was possible in the alkaline medium containing up to 10 g of the compound per liter. The 4-CBA-dechlorinating activity of resting cells was almost completely uninhibited by substrate concentrations up to 150 mM. The bacterium dehalogenated 4-CBA in the initial stage of the degradation and metabolized the compound via 4-hydroxybenzoate and protocatechuate. O2 was needed for 4-CBA dechlorination by resting cells but not by cell extracts. O2 was inhibitory to the 4-CBA dechlorination activity of cell extracts. These facts suggest dechlorination of 4-CBA by halide hydrolysis and an energy requirement for the transport of 4-CBA into cells. 相似文献
