Environmental Dissolved Organic Matter Governs Biofilm Formation and Subsequent Linuron Degradation Activity of a Linuron-Degrading Bacterial Consortium

It was examined whether biofilm growth on dissolved organic matter (DOM) of a three-species consortium whose members synergistically degrade the phenylurea herbicide linuron affected the consortium''s integrity and subsequent linuron-degrading functionality. Citrate as a model DOM and three environmental DOM (eDOM) formulations of different quality were used. Biofilms developed with all DOM formulations, and the three species were retained in the biofilm. However, biofilm biomass, species composition, architecture, and colocalization of member strains depended on DOM and its biodegradability. To assess the linuron-degrading functionality, biofilms were subsequently irrigated with linuron at 10 mg liter⁻¹ or 100 μg liter⁻¹. Instant linuron degradation, the time needed to attain maximal linuron degradation, and hence the total amount of linuron removed depended on both the DOM used for growth and the linuron concentration. At 10 mg liter⁻¹, the final linuron degradation efficiency was as high as previously observed without DOM except for biofilms fed with humic acids which did not degrade linuron. At 100 μg liter⁻¹ linuron, DOM-grown biofilms degraded linuron less efficiently than biofilms receiving 10 mg liter⁻¹ linuron. The amount of linuron removed was more correlated with biofilm species composition than with biomass or structure. Based on visual observations, colocalization of consortium members in biofilms after the DOM feed appears essential for instant linuron-degrading activity and might explain the differences in overall linuron degradation. The data show that DOM quality determines biofilm structure and composition of the pesticide-degrading consortium in periods with DOM as the main carbon source and can affect subsequent pesticide-degrading activity, especially at micropollutant concentrations.     

Degradation of Cyanophycin by Sedimentibacter hongkongensis Strain KI and Citrobacter amalonaticus Strain G Isolated from an Anaerobic Bacterial Consortium

Using a combination of various enrichment techniques, the strictly anaerobic, gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium Sedimentibacter hongkongensis strain KI as revealed by 16S rRNA analysis and the gram-negative enterobacterium Citrobacter amalonaticus strain G as revealed by physiological tests were isolated from an anaerobic cyanophycin (CGP)-degrading bacterial consortium. S. hongkongensis strain KI is the first anaerobic bacterium with the ability to hydrolyze CGP to β-Asp-Arg and β-Asp-Lys dipeptides, as revealed by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. However, these primary accumulated hydrolysis products were only partially used by S. hongkongensis strain KI, and significant growth on CGP did not occur. On the other hand, C. amalonaticus strain G did not degrade CGP but grew on the β-linked iso-dipeptides formed in vitro by enzymatic CGP degradation or in vivo by metabolic activity of S. hongkongensis strain KI. Dipeptide utilization occurred at the highest rate if both strains were used in cocultivation experiments with CGP, indicating that cooperation between different bacteria occurs in anaerobic natural environments for complete CGP turnover. The amino acids obtained from the cleavage of dipeptides were fermented to ethanol, acetic acid, and succinic acid, as revealed by gas chromatographic analysis and by spectrophotometric enzyme assays.     

Bioremediation of Textile Azo Dyes by Aerobic Bacterial Consortium Aerobic Degradation of Selected Azo Dyes by Bacterial Consortium

An aerobic bacterial consortium consisting of two isolated strains (BF1, BF2) and a strain of Pseudomonas putida (MTCC1194) was developed for the aerobic degradation of a mixture of textile azodyes and individual azodyes at alkaline pH (9-10.5) and salinity (0.9-3.68 g/l) at ambient temperature (28 +/- 2 degrees C). The degradation efficiency of the strains in different media (mineral media and in the Simulated textile effluent (STE)) and at different dye concentrations were studied. The presence of a H2O2 independent oxidase-laccase (26.5 IU/ml) was found in the culture filtrate of the organism BF2. The analysis of the degraded products by TLC and HPLC, after the microbial treatment of the dyes showed the absence of amines and the presence of low molecular weight oxidative degradation products. The enzymes present in the crude supernatant was found to be reusable for the dye degradation.

Optimization of Chlorpyrifos Degradation by Assembled Bacterial Consortium Using Response Surface Methodology

Chlorpyrifos is a commonly used organophosphate pesticide. Its extensive use and associated serious soil and water contamination have gained increasing environmental concern. Biodegradation is a promising way to remediate chlorpyrifos contamination. There are many reports on various chlorpyrifos degrading microorganisms, but only a few on biodegradation of chlorpyrifos by consortia. Hence, the present study attempted to assemble a novel bacterial consortium C5 for the biodegradation of chlorpyrifos. The 16S rRNA gene-based molecular analysis revealed that the bacterial consortium consisted of Staphylococcus warneri CPI 2, Pseudomonas putida CPI 9 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia CPI 15. Optimization of chlorpyrifos degradation by the consortium C5, using a Box–Behnken design, was carried out taking into account four important variables: temperature, pH, the initial concentration of chlorpyrifos and time of incubation. C5 is capable of giving 90% degradation of chlorpyrifos (125 ppm) in 8 days of incubation under optimized conditions of pH (7) and temperature (30°C). Growth curve and degradation study under optimized conditions confirmed that consortium could improve the biodegradation potential. From these results, we conclude that the novel consortium C5 of three species can be used to eliminate chlorpyrifos from various environmental compartments and can be implemented in bioreactors in a cost-effective, safe and environmentally friendly manner.

Degradation of homovanillate by a strain of Variovorax paradoxus via ring hydroxylation

Abstract A newly isolated strain of Variovorax paradoxus could grow on homovanillate and several monohydroxylated phenylacetic acids. During growth on homovanillate, the organism formed separate NAD(P)H-dependent hydroxylases with activity towards 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and homovanillate. Homovanillate hydroxylase catalysed a typical monooxygenase reaction and had little activity towards 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. GC-MS and TLC analysis suggested that homovanillate was 1-hydroxylated to yield a dihydroxymonomethoxyphenylacetic acid which served as a substrate for homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase. Methanol, but not formaldehyde, was released either during ring-cleavage or subsequent metabolism of the ring-cleavage product.

Isolation of a Bacterial Strain Able To Degrade Branched Nonylphenol

Conventional enrichment of microorganisms on branched nonylphenol (NP) as only carbon and energy source yielded mixed cultures able to grow on the organic compound. However, plating yielded no single colonies capable, alone or in combination with other isolates, of degrading the NP in liquid culture. Therefore, a special approach was used, referred to as “serial dilution-plate resuspension,” to reduce culture complexity. In this way, one isolate, TTNP3, tentatively identified as a Sphingomonas sp., was found to be able to grow on NP in liquid culture. Remarkably, this isolate was able to be filtered through a 0.45-μm-pore-diameter filter. Moreover, isolate TTNP3 did not form visible colonies on mineral medium with NP, and it formed visible colonies on R₂A agar only after a prolonged incubation of 1 week. High-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy analysis of the culture media indicated that the strain starts the degradation of NP with a fission of the phenol ring and preferably uses the para isomer of NP and not the ortho isomer. No distinct accumulation of an intermediary product could be observed.     

Isolation and Characterization of a Fucoidan-Degrading Marine Bacterial Strain and Its Fucoidanase

A marine bacterial strain that degraded fucoidan from Kjellmaniella crassifolia (class Phaeophyceae, order Laminariales, family Laminariaceae) was isolated in our laboratory. The strain was gram-negative, ubiquinone 8 was the predominant respiratory quinone, and the GC-content of its genomic DNA was 36%. The cells of the strain were rod-shaped (2.0 m long × 1.0 m wide), and each cell was motile by means of one polar flagellum. Phylogenetic analysis of its 16S ribosomal DNA sequence indicated that it was a member of the family Alteromonadaceae. It produced a type of extracellular fucoidanase, an endosulfated fucan-digesting enzyme. The enzyme was purified with 3500-fold purity at 12.0% yield. Optimum conditions for the enzyme reaction were approximately pH 6.5 to 8.0 and temperature 30° to 35°C. The enzyme was activated by calcium ions, and maximum activity was observed in the presence of greater than 30 mM calcium ion.

Phenol Biodegradation and Metal Removal by a Mixed Bacterial Consortium

This paper reports the tolerance and biodegradation of phenol by a heavy metal–adapted environmental bacterial consortium, known as consortium culture (CC). At the highest tolerable phenol concentration of 1200 mg/L, CC displayed specific growth rate of 0.04 h^?1, phenol degradation rate of 6.11 mg L^?1 h^?1 and biomass of 8.45 ± 0.35 (log₁₀ colony-forming units [CFU]/ml) at the end of incubation. Phenol was degraded via the ortho-cleavage pathway catalyzed by cathechol-1,2-dioxygenase with specific activity of 0.083 (µmol min^?1 mg^?1 protein). The different constituent bacterial isolates of CC preferentially grow on benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, cresol, and catechol, suggesting a synergistic mechanism involved in the degradation process. Microtox assay showed that phenol degradation was achieved without producing toxic dead-end metabolites. Moreover, lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) at the highest tested concentration of 1.0 and 0.1 mg/L, respectively, did not inhibit phenol degradation by CC. Simultaneous metal removal during phenol degradation was achieved using CC. These findings confirmed the dual function of CC to degrade phenol and to remove heavy metals from a mixed-pollutant medium.
