Isolation and Characterization of Bacteria Capable of Tolerating the Extreme Conditions of Clean Room Environments

In assessing the bacterial populations present in spacecraft assembly, spacecraft test, and launch preparation facilities, extremophilic bacteria (requiring severe conditions for growth) and extremotolerant bacteria (tolerant to extreme conditions) were isolated. Several cultivation approaches were employed to select for and identify bacteria that not only survive the nutrient-limiting conditions of clean room environments but can also withstand even more inhospitable environmental stresses. Due to their proximity to spacefaring objects, these bacteria pose a considerable risk for forward contamination of extraterrestrial sites. Samples collected from four geographically distinct National Aeronautics and Space Administration clean rooms were challenged with UV-C irradiation, 5% hydrogen peroxide, heat shock, pH extremes (pH 3.0 and 11.0), temperature extremes (4°C to 65°C), and hypersalinity (25% NaCl) prior to and/or during cultivation as a means of selecting for extremotolerant bacteria. Culture-independent approaches were employed to measure viable microbial (ATP-based) and total bacterial (quantitative PCR-based) burdens. Intracellular ATP concentrations suggested a viable microbial presence ranging from below detection limits to 10⁶ cells/m². However, only 0.1 to 55% of these viable cells were able to grow on defined culture medium. Isolated members of the Bacillaceae family were more physiologically diverse than those reported in previous studies, including thermophiles (Geobacillus), obligate anaerobes (Paenibacillus), and halotolerant, alkalophilic species (Oceanobacillus and Exiguobacterium). Non-spore-forming microbes (α- and β-proteobacteria and actinobacteria) exhibiting tolerance to the selected stresses were also encountered. The multiassay cultivation approach employed herein enhances the current understanding of the physiological diversity of bacteria housed in these clean rooms and leads us to ponder the origin and means of translocation of thermophiles, anaerobes, and halotolerant alkalophiles into these environments.     

Isolation, Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of an Aerobic Bacterium Capable of Degrading Bensulfuronmethyl

Summary An aerobic bacterium named strain BH was isolated from soil samples based on its bensulfuronmethyl-degrading characteristics using continuous enrichment cultures. The cells of the strain were non-motile, gram-positive short rods. Colonies formed on agar medium were round, smooth, sticky, white-yellow in colour and of butyrous consistency. Analyses of nutritional utilization in Biolog microplates, conventional phenotypic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were consistent with assigning strain BH to the genus Brevibacterium. Growth of the cells and their ability to degrade bensulfuronmethyl were simultaneously monitored under different liquid medium conditions during 7 days of incubation. They degraded bensulfuronmethyl from 100 to 70.6 mg l⁻¹ in mineral M9 medium and exhibited more effective degradation in the presence of yeast extract, completely removing an initial concentration of 100 mg l⁻¹ and at best 80% of an initial concentration of 200 mg l⁻¹. Further studies are required to determine the potential use of the isolate in the disposal of bensulfuronmethyl residues in agriculture and industry.     

Isolation and Characterization of Pseudomonas stutzeri Capable of Reducing Fe(III) and Nitrate from Skarn-type Copper Mine Tailings

Nitrate and Fe(III) are two terminal electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration by microorganisms growing in the anoxic soil or sediment environment. In the current paper a facultative anaerobic dissimilatory Fe(III)- and nitrate-reducing bacterium was isolated from the Linchong tailings, a skarn-type copper mine tailings, located in Anhui. Skarn often formed at the contact zone between intrusions of granitic magma bodies into contact with carbonate sedimentary rocks. This made the tailings possessed strong acid neutralizing capacity and pH of the pore water was 6.8–8.6. The isolate, which was designated strain CW (CCTCC AB 2013114), was a gram-negative rod bacterium and belonged to the gamma subgroup p of the proteobacteria, closely (99.0%) related to Pseudomonas stutzeri. In defined medium, strain CW was shown to grow anaerobically with the acetate using the ferric iron or nitrate as the electron acceptors. Results also showed that strain CW could not grow in the presence of ferrous iron and nitrite.     

Pseudoalteromonas Bacteria Are Capable of Degrading Paralytic Shellfish Toxins

Marine bacterial isolates cultured from the digestive tracts of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) contaminated with paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) were screened for the ability to reduce the toxicity of a PST mixture. Seven isolates reduced the overall toxicity of the algal extract by ≥90% within 3 days. These isolates shared at least 99% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with five Pseudoalteromonas spp. Phenotypic tests suggested that all are novel strains of Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis.Among the marine algal biotoxins identified to date; paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) constitute the most serious threat to the safety of the food supply, mainly due to their high acute toxicities and the absence of antidotes or effective medical treatments (8). Paralytic shellfish poisoning is caused by ingestion of one or more of the chemically related PSTs (see Fig. S1 in the supplemental material). PSTs are mainly produced by marine dinoflagellates, including Alexandrium spp., Gymnodinium catenatum, and Pyrodinium bahamense var. compresssum (16). Since bivalve molluscs filter-feed on marine algae, they tend to concentrate PSTs largely, but not exclusively, in their digestive organs (7, 9, 10, 29). Not affected by commercial sterilization (14, 18) or cooking, PSTs present significant risks to the food supply, particularly during periods of toxic algal blooms. Practical methods for PST detoxification of living shellfish do not exist (5).Transformations of PSTs by bacteria have been reported in the literature (23-25, 31, 35, 36, 38); early studies focused on the conversion of hydroxysulfate carbamate derivatives (gonyautoxins 1 and 4) to the more highly toxic saxitoxin (STX) (23-25). In addition, several reports have noted the high capacity of the digestive gland for PST transformation (12, 28, 32, 39), suggesting the presence of toxin-transforming enzymes and/or microorganisms in bivalve molluscs. The partial degradation of gonyautoxins 1 and 4 and C1/C2 by marine bacteria has also been reported (38). In addition, Stewart et al. (37) discovered the bacterial degradation of domoic acid (another marine toxin that causes amnesic shellfish poisoning), collectively suggesting that bacteria might play a role in the elimination of marine toxins from toxic bivalve molluscs. The capacity to catabolize domoic acid is greater in cultures isolated from blue mussels that rapidly eliminate domoic acid than in bacterial isolates from bivalves known to retain the toxin for longer time periods (e.g., scallops), suggesting these bacteria play a role in the elimination of marine toxins.Recently, we reported the kinetics of PST destruction for a group of marine bacteria isolated from toxic blue mussels (11). Here we report the phenotypic and taxonomic characterization of these unique marine bacteria.     

Isolation and Characterization of a Mycobacterium Species Capable of Degrading Three- and Four-Ring Aromatic and Aliphatic Hydrocarbons

Mycobacterium sp. strain CH1 was isolated from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated freshwater sediments and identified by analysis of 16S rDNA sequences. Strain CH1 was capable of mineralizing three- and four-ring PAHs including phenanthrene, pyrene, and fluoranthene. In addition, strain CH1 could utilize phenanthrene or pyrene as a sole carbon and energy source. A lag phase of at least 3 days was observed during pyrene mineralization. This lag phase decreased to less than 1 day when strain CH1 was grown in the presence of phenanthrene or fluoranthene. Strain CH1 also was capable of using a wide range of alkanes as sole carbon and energy sources. No DNA hybridization was detected with the nahAc gene probe, indicating that enzymes involved in PAH metabolism are not related to the well-characterized naphthalene dioxygenase gene. DNA hybridization was not detected when the alkB gene from Pseudomonas oleovorans was used under high-stringency conditions. However, there was slight but detectable hybridization under low-stringency conditions. This suggests a distant relationship between genes involved in alkane oxidation.     

Isolation of a Bacterium Capable of Degrading Peanut Hull Lignin

Thirty-seven bacterial strains capable of degrading peanut hull lignin were isolated by using four types of lignin preparations and hot-water-extracted peanut hulls. One of the isolates, tentatively identified as Arthrobacter sp., was capable of utilizing all four lignin preparations as well as extracted peanut hulls as a sole source of carbon. The bacterium was also capable of degrading specifically labeled [¹⁴C]lignin-labeled lignocellulose and [¹⁴C]cellulose-labeled lignocellulose from the cordgrass Spartina alterniflora and could also degrade [¹⁴C]Kraft lignin from slash pine. After 10 days of incubation with [¹⁴C]cellulose-labeled lignocellulose or [¹⁴C]lignin-labeled lignocellulose from S. alterniflora, the bacterium mineralized 6.5% of the polysaccharide component and 2.9% of the lignin component.

Eight bacteria were isolated and identified. For example, Bacillus sp. KUKK-4 degraded 31 % of CA when cultivated for 28 days in a medium initially containing CA at 1000 mg/l with shaking under the micro aerobic conditions.     

Enzymatic Formulation Capable of Degrading Scrapie Prion under Mild Digestion Conditions

The prion agent is notoriously resistant to common proteases and conventional sterilisation procedures. The current methods known to destroy prion infectivity such as incineration, alkaline and thermal hydrolysis are harsh, destructive, environmentally polluting and potentially hazardous, thus limit their applications for decontamination of delicate medical and laboratory devices, remediation of prion contaminated environment and for processing animal by-products including specified risk materials and carcases. Therefore, an environmentally friendly, non-destructive enzymatic degradation approach is highly desirable. A feather-degrading Bacillus licheniformis N22 keratinase has been isolated which degraded scrapie prion to undetectable level of PrP^Sc signals as determined by Western Blot analysis. Prion infectivity was verified by ex vivo cell-based assay. An enzymatic formulation combining N22 keratinase and biosurfactant derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa degraded PrP^Sc at 65°C in 10 min to undetectable level -. A time-course degradation analysis carried out at 50°C over 2 h revealed the progressive attenuation of PrP^Sc intensity. Test of residual infectivity by standard cell culture assay confirmed that the enzymatic formulation reduced PrP^Sc infectivity to undetectable levels as compared to cells challenged with untreated standard scrapie sheep prion (SSBP/1) (p-value = 0.008 at 95% confidence interval). This novel enzymatic formulation has significant potential application for prion decontamination in various environmentally friendly systems under mild treatment conditions.

Isolation,Characterization of a Strain Capable of Degrading Imazethapyr and Its Use in Degradation of the Herbicide in Soil

One strain of bacterium IM-4, capable of degrading imazethapyr (IMZT), was isolated from the IMZT-contaminated soil. The isolate was identified as Pseudomonas sp. according to its physiological characteristics, biochemical tests, and 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis. This strain could utilize IMZT as the sole carbon and energy source. About 73.4% of the 50 mg l⁻¹ initially added IMZT was degraded after 7 days of inoculation with strain IM-4. This strain also showed the capability to degrade other imidazolinone herbicides such as imazapyr, imazapic, and imazamox. The inoculation strain IM-4 to soil treated with IMZT resulted in a higher degradation rate than in noninoculated soil regardless if the soil was sterilized or nonsterilized. Inoculation of strain IM-4 could also mitigate the phytotoxic effects of IMZT on the growth of maize.
