Inhibition of heterotrophic and autotrophic nitrification in bacterial cultures by carbaryl and 1-naphthol

A carbamate insecticide, carbaryl, and its hydrolysis product, 1-naphthol, inhibited nitrification by a heterotrophic bacterium, a Pseudomonas sp., at a concentration of 50 μg/ml and by chemoautotrophic bacteria, a Nitrosomonas sp. and a Nitrobacter sp., at a concentration of 10 µg/ml, in pure cultures.     

The catabolism and heterotrophic nitrification of the siderophore deferrioxamine B

Summary Three bacteria, two of which were previously noted as active heterotrophic nitrifiers, were examined for their ability to grow and nitrify with the siderophore deferrioxamine B as the carbon source.Pseudomonas aureofaciens displayed limited growth and nitrification while a heterotrophic nitrifyingAlcaligenes sp. was without action concerning its metabolism of deferrioxamine B. The third bacterium, a unique Gram-negative soil isolate, was unable to nitrify deferrioxamine B but grew well when the siderophore was employed as the sole C source. The Gram-negative bacterium removed deferrioxamine B from the medium and left only residual amounts of the compound in solution at the termination of its growth. The organism was without action when the ferrated analogue of deferrioxamine B, ferrioxamine B, sereved as either the C source for growth, for metabolism by resting cells, or as the substrate for cell-free extracts. Deferrioxamine B, by contrast, was rapidly metabolized by resting cells. Cell-free extracts of the bacterium synthesized a monohydroxamate(s) when deferrioxamine B was the substrate. The catabolism of deferrioxamine B, which is synthesized by soil microbes, suggests that soil microflora have the ability to return deferrioxamine B, and perhaps other, siderophores to the C cycle.Abbreviations DFB deferrioxamine B; - FB ferrioxamine B - PhMeSO₂F phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride     

Oxidation and amidation of salicylate by Streptomyces species

Seven streptomycete strains were tested for biotransformation of salicylate. The products were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and three types of conversion were found. Streptomyces cinnamonensis and Streptomyces spectabilis formed gentisate and salicylamide concurrently. Streptomyces rimosus transformed salicylate to salicylamide. Streptomyces lividans, Streptomyces coelicolor, Streptomyces griseus and Streptomyces avermitilis produced only gentisate. Time course studies of salicylate conversion by thin-layer chromatography and high pressure liquid chromatography showed that salicylamide was accumulated in the culture broth, whereas gentisate was further metabolized.Key words: salicylate, gentisate, salicylamide, biotransformation, Streptomyces spp.     

Biodegradation of nonylphenol ethoxylates by Bacillus sp. LY capable of heterotrophic nitrification

Biodegradation of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) by Bacillus sp. LY, with heterotrophic nitrification ability was investigated. The results showed that NPEOs were readily degraded by Bacillus sp. LY with more than 80% of the total NPEOs being removed within 7 days. Heterotrophic nitrogen removal occurred simultaneously during the biodegradation period of NPEOs. NPEOs were biodegraded through a nonoxidative pathway, through which NPEOs were degraded via sequential removal of ethoxyl units to the nonylphenol. To the authors' knowledge, it is the first report on the biodegradation of NPEO contaminants by a microorganism capable of heterotrophic nitrogen removal.     

硝化作用研究的新发现:单步硝化作用与全程氨氧化微生物

硝化作用是氨被微生物氧化为硝酸盐的过程,分别由氨氧化微生物(AOB和AOA)和亚硝酸盐氧化细菌(NOB)主导完成.一个世纪以来,我们把这个分步硝化过程当成唯一的硝化途径来学习和研究.虽然根据动力学理论推测,环境中应该存在单步硝化作用,即由一种微生物单独完成整个硝化过程,将NH₃氧化为NO₃^-,但一直没有研究能直接证明该种微生物的存在.直到2015年底,3个科研团队分别在不同环境中发现了3种不同的经过纯培养的细菌(Candidatus Nitrospira nitrosa、Candidatus Nitrospira nitrificans和Candidatus Nitrospira inopinata)和一种未经过纯培养的细菌(类Nitrospira),它们都具备单独将氨氧化为硝酸盐的能力,这些微生物被定义为全程氨氧化微生物(Comammox).单步硝化作用和全程氨氧化微生物的发现终结了传承百年的理论,并引发了众多关于全球氮素循环的重要科学问题,如这些微生物在环境中的生态位点及其在硝化作用中的相对贡献等.本文就单步硝化作用及全程氨氧化微生物的发现作了简要概述.     

Liberation of ammonia during nitrogen fixation by a facultatively heterotrophic cyanobacterium

Nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) and ammonia liberation were studied in a facultatively heterotrophic cyanobacterium. Autotrophically grown cells lost acetylene reduction activity when incubated under anaerobic conditions; the activity was maintained in the presence of methionine sulfoximine; or by pretreatment of the cells with a carbon supply. Heterotrophically grown cells maintained acetylene reduction activity anaerobically in the absence of methionine sulfoximine. Both cell types required light for maintenance of activity. The data indicate that methionine sulfoximine preserves the intracellular pool of reductant needed for nitrogenase. Autotrophs and heterotrophs both liberated ammonia when treated with methionine sulfoximine under nitrogen-fixing conditions. However, on treatment with methionine sulfoximine under anaerobiosis, heterotrophs also accumulated large amounts of intracellular ammonia in a pool which was diminished by the Photosystem II inhibitor, 3(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU). DCMU enhanced ammonia liberation without affecting acetylene reduction activity, and hence changed the ratio of acetylene reduced to ammonia formed by the heterotrophs. These data suggest a role for Photosystem II in ammonia liberation by the cyanobacteria.     

An examination of proton translocation and energy conservation during heterotrophic nitrification

Whether selected heterotrophic nitrifiers, as do the autotrophs, conserve energy during the oxidation of their nitrogenous substrates was studied. The examination of proton translocation of four different bacterial nitrifiers capable of pyruvic oxime [(PO), CH3-C(NOH)-COOH] nitrification and by an NH4+ oxidizing Arthrobacter sp. was initiated. Three of the PO nitrifying bacteria, all pseudomonads, oxidize hydroxylamine (NH2OH) at a greater rate than PO and yielded only stoichiometric protons when NH2OH was the reductant. The fourth bacterium, Alcaligenes faecalis ATCC 8750, an adept PO oxidizer, does not appreciably oxidize NH2OH. The bacterium displayed----H+NH2OH ratios far less than if NH2OH was stoichiometrically converted to nitrite. When given NH4+, the Arthrobacter sp. yielded proton translocation patterns which were inconsistent with the metabolic data collected concerning NH4+ oxidation. Thus no data was collected which supported energy conservation via proton translocation by these heterotrophic nitrifiers.     

异养硝化细菌的生物脱氮

正氮类污染物是造成水体污染和富营养化的主要原因,水体中氮的去除对于清洁水体有着重要的意义~([1-2])。因此,高效与便捷地去除污水中的氮是污水处理中的关键问题,而生物脱氮又被认为是目前废水脱氮中最经济有效的方法之一~([3])。最初研究者们认为只有自养硝化细菌才能进行高效的硝化作用,近年来研究表明,异养硝化微生物同样在生物硝化过程中起着不可忽视的作用~([4])。异养硝化微生物相比传统的自养微生物在废水生物脱氮中占有明显优势,具有良好的应用前景。
