铜绿假单胞菌对长链烷烃的摄取模式

研究了一株铜绿假单胞菌(CGMCC 1.1785)摄取长链烷烃的模式。铜绿假单胞菌1．1785能够以固态的长链烷烃为唯一碳源生长,在培养过程中产生表面活性代谢物。烃与水相的界面面积是细菌生长重要的影响因素,说明传质限制的存在。由于该菌不能够利用鼠李糖脂增溶的烃作为碳源,因此添加鼠李糖脂能够强化烃摄取的主要原因是烃界面的扩大。细胞表面疏水性从开始的急剧升高到后来的不断下降,说明在不同生长阶段细胞对烃的摄取模式是不同的。由此认为,铜绿假单胞菌1.1785既没有通过表面活性剂介导模式获取烃,也并非完全通过直接接触模式获取烃。据此提出该菌采用了一种运动接触的烃摄取模式,其趋化运动能力在这种摄取过程中起到重要作用。

Isolation and characterization of a novel thermophilic Bacillus strain degrading long-chain n-alkanes

A thermophilic Bacillus strain NG80-2 growing within the temperature range of 45–73°C (optimum at 65°C) was isolated from a deep subterranean oil-reservoir in northern China. The strain was able to utilize crude oil and liquid paraffin as the sole carbon sources for growth, and the growth with crude oil was accompanied by the production of an unknown emulsifying agent. Further examination showed that NG80-2 degraded and utilized only long-chain (C15–C36) n-alkanes, but not short-chain (C8–C14) n-alkanes and those longer than C40. Based on phenotypic and phylogenic analyses, NG80-2 was identified as Geobacillus thermodenitrificans. The strain NG80-2 may be potentially used for oily-waste treatment at elevated temperature, a condition which greatly accelerates the biodegradation rate, and for microbial enhancing oil recovery process.Lei Wang, Yun Tang and Shuo Wang contributed equally to this study.     

Degradation of long-chain n-alkanes (C36 and C40) by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain WatG

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain WatG was unable to utilize either n-hexatriacontane (C₃₆) or n-tetracontane (C₄₀), which are both insoluble in a mineral salts medium (MSM), as a sole carbon source. However, when C₃₆ and C₄₀ were added to MSM containing crude oil, more than 25% of each of the compounds was degraded by this strain after 2 weeks at 30 °C. These results demonstrate that P. aeruginosa strain WatG has the ability to degrade long-chain alkanes up to C₄₀, when they are solubilized by crude oil components.     

Molecular characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 2NR degrading naphthalene

Three naphthalene-degrading strains were isolated from compost, characterized by morphological and physiological properties and differentiated by 16S rDNA RFLP. During growth on naphthalene, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 2NR produced ortho catechol pathway intermediates and gentisic acid. The ability to accumulate and degrade gentisic acid shows that Ps. aeruginosa 2NR has a different salicylate pathway to that of the intensely studied Ps. putida NCIB 9816. Molecular analysis showed the presence both of genes of the upper naphthalene pathway and genes of the ortho and meta catechol pathways. The insertion of nagH and nagG, coding for salicylate 5-hydroxylase in Pseudomonas sp. U2, was absent in Ps. aeruginosa 2NR, as in Ps. putida NCIMB 9816.     

Isolation and characterization of Pseudomonas sp. strain capable of degrading diethylstilbestrol

Since diethylstilbestrol (DES) interrupts endocrine systems and generates reproductive abnormalities in both wildlife and human beings, methods to remove DES from the environments are urgently recommended. In this study, bacterial strain J51 was isolated and tested to effectively degrade DES. J51 was identified as Pseudomonas sp. based on its nucleotide sequence of 16S rRNA. The quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase and isocitrate lyase were identified to be involved in DES degradation by MALDI–TOF–TOF MS/MS analysis. In the presence of 40 mg/l DES, increase of the genes encoding quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase and isocitrate lyase in both RNA and protein levels was determined. The HPLC/MS analysis showed that DES was hydrolyzed to a major degrading metabolite DES-4-semiquinone. It was the first time to demonstrate the characteristics of DES degradation by specific bacterial strain and the higher degradation efficiency indicated the potential application of Pseudomonas sp. strain J51 in the treatment of DES-contaminated freshwater and seawater environments.     

Isolation and preliminary characterization of a 2-chlorobenzoate degrading Pseudomonas

Pseudomonas sp. strain B-300, which is able to utilize 2-chlorobenzoic acid, was isolated from a soil sample by enrichment culture. This strain was shown to grow on 2-chlorobenzoic acid and to completely degrade the substrate with concomitant chlorine ion release. Concentrations of 2-chlorobenzoic acid higher than 0.5% (w/v) were toxic to the cells. Our study also suggested that in the presence of glucose, 2-chlorobenzoic acid is converted to catechol or chlorocatechol; these are in turn transformed to muconic and chloromuconic acid, respectively, suggesting a repression by glucose of some of the degradation pathway enzymes. A similar scheme was already described for 3-chlorobenzoate degradation by pAC25 plasmid.     

Purification and characterization of dye degrading of veratryl alcohol oxidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain BCH

In the present study we have purified the intracellular veratryl alcohol oxidase (VAO) enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain BCH to evaluate its dye decolorizing potential. The enzyme was purified by ion exchange chromatography using DEAE cellulose followed by gel filtration chromatography using Biogel P-100. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) analysis. The VAO was purified up to 12 and 16.3-fold by ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography respectively. VAO was estimated to be about 85 kDa by SDS–PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature for purified VAO was 3 and 55°C respectively. The purified enzyme exerted its optimal activity with veratryl alcohol and also oxidized various other substrates, whereas diminished activity was noted in case of tryptophan and xylidine. The metal ions Mn⁺⁺ and Hg⁺⁺ were found to suppress the oxidase activity. The purified enzyme decolorized different dyes with variable decolorization rates and efficiencies. Decolorization mechanism of Remazol Black by purified enzyme was studies in detail using various analytical techniques like HPLC, GC–MS and FTIR. This study is useful for understanding the precise role of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain BCH in the decolorization of textile dyes containing industrial wastewater.     

Rhamnolipid produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa USM-AR2 facilitates crude oil distillation

A biosurfactant-producing and hydrocarbon-utilizing bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa USM-AR2, was used to assist conventional distillation. Batch cultivation in a bioreactor gave a biomass of 9.4 g L(-1) and rhamnolipid concentration of 2.4 g L(-1) achieved after 72 h. Biosurfactant activity (rhamnolipid) was detected by the orcinol assay, emulsification index and drop collapse test. Pretreatment of crude oil TK-1 and AG-2 with a culture of P. aeruginosa USM-AR2 that contains rhamnolipid was proven to facilitate the distillation process by reducing the duration without reducing the quality of petroleum distillate. It showed a potential in reducing the duration of the distillation process, with at least 2- to 3-fold decreases in distillation time. This is supported by GC-MS analysis of the distillate where there was no difference between compounds detected in distillate obtained from treated or untreated crude oil. Calorimetric tests showed the calorie value of the distillate remained the same with or without treatment. These two factors confirmed that the quality of the distillate was not compromised and the incubation process by the microbial culture did not over-degrade the oil. The rhamnolipid produced by this culture was the main factor that enhanced the distillation performance, which is related to the emulsification of hydrocarbon chains in the crude oil. This biotreatment may play an important role to improve the existing conventional refinery and distillation process. Reducing the distillation times by pretreating the crude oil with a natural biosynthetic product translates to energy and cost savings in producing petroleum products.     

Oxidation of n-alkanes by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain carrying the plasmid pBS251

Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO8 cannot use n-alkanes or their respective alcohols as a sole carbon source. However, it can grow on n-alkanes when plasmid pBS251 is transferred into its cells. The hybrid plasmid pBS251 is a plasmid RP4 containing genes which control the capability to grow on n-alkanes of the C6-C12 series. Studies of n-alkane oxidation by P. aeruginosa PAO8 carrying pBS251 have shown that this plasmid controls the inducible alkane and alcohol oxidizing activities; the subsequent steps of n-alkane oxidation controlled by chromosomal genes are constitutive.
