Pseudomonas sp. strain NyZ402 was isolated for its ability to grow on para-nitrophenol (PNP) as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy, and was shown to degrade PNP via an oxidization pathway.
This strain was also capable of growing on hydroquinone or catechol. A 15, 818 bp DNA fragment extending from a 800-bp DNA
fragment of hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase gene (pnpG) was obtained by genome walking. Sequence analysis indicated that the PNP catabolic gene cluster (pnpABCDEFG) in this fragment shared significant similarities with a recently reported gene cluster responsible for PNP degradation from
Pseudomonas sp. strain WBC-3. PnpA is PNP 4-monooxygenase converting PNP to hydroquinone via benzoquinone in the presence of NADPH, and
genetic analysis indicated that pnpA plays a key role in PNP degradation. pnpA1 present in the upstream of the cluster (absent in the cluster from strain WBC-3) encodes a protein sharing as high as 55%
identity with PnpA, but was not involved in PNP degradation by either in vitro or in vivo analyses. Furthermore, an engineered
strain capable of growing on PNP and ortho-nitrophenol (ONP) was constructed by introducing onpAB (encoding ONP monooxygenase and ortho-benzoquinone reductase which catalyzed the transformation of ONP to catechol) from Alcaligenes sp. strain NyZ215 into strain NyZ402. 相似文献

Rhodococcus imtechensis RKJ300 (DSM 45091) grows on 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol (2C4NP) and para-nitrophenol (PNP) as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources. In this study, by genetic and biochemical analyses, a novel 2C4NP catabolic pathway different from those of all other 2C4NP utilizers was identified with hydroxyquinol (hydroxy-1,4-hydroquinone or 1,2,4-benzenetriol [BT]) as the ring cleavage substrate. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis indicated that the pnp cluster located in three operons is likely involved in the catabolism of both 2C4NP and PNP. The oxygenase component (PnpA1) and reductase component (PnpA2) of the two-component PNP monooxygenase were expressed and purified to homogeneity, respectively. The identification of chlorohydroquinone (CHQ) and BT during 2C4NP degradation catalyzed by PnpA1A2 indicated that PnpA1A2 catalyzes the sequential denitration and dechlorination of 2C4NP to BT and catalyzes the conversion of PNP to BT. Genetic analyses revealed that pnpA1 plays an essential role in both 2C4NP and PNP degradations by gene knockout and complementation. In addition to catalyzing the oxidation of CHQ to BT, PnpA1A2 was also found to be able to catalyze the hydroxylation of hydroquinone (HQ) to BT, revealing the probable fate of HQ that remains unclear in PNP catabolism by Gram-positive bacteria. This study fills a gap in our knowledge of the 2C4NP degradation mechanism in Gram-positive bacteria and also enhances our understanding of the genetic and biochemical diversity of 2C4NP catabolism. 相似文献

The effect of p-nitrophenol (PNP) concentration with or without glucose and yeast extract on the growth and biodegradative capacity of Ralstonia eutropha was examined. The chemical constituents of the culture medium were modeled using a response surface methodology. The experiments
were performed according to the central composite design arrangement considering PNP, glucose and yeast extract as the selected
variables whose influences on the degradation was evaluated (shaking in reciprocal mode, temperature of 30°C, pH 7 and test
time of about 9 h). Quadratic polynomial regression equations were used to quantitatively explain variations between and within
the models (responses: the biodegradation capacity and the biomass formation). The coefficient of determination was high (R
adjusted2 = 0.9783), indicating the constructed polynomial model for PNP biodegradative capacity explains the variation between the
regressors fairly well. A PNP removal efficiency of 74.5% occurred within 9 h (15 mg/L as the initial concentration of PNP
with use of yeast extract at 0.5 g/L). 相似文献

A bacterium growing on pyrazine-2-carboxylate broth was isolated, purified and identified as a strain of Stenotrophomonas sp. based on polyphasic taxonomic analyses and designated as strain HCU1. 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HCU1 showed 98.7%
sequence similarity with the type strain of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia belonging to Gammaproteobacteria. Growth of strain HCU1 was demonstrated when pyrazine-2-carboxylate was used as a sole source of nitrogen. Ring reduction
of pyrazine-2-carboxylate was shown as increase in absorbance at 268 nm and the reduced product was confirmed as 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyrazine-2-carboxylate,
while a ring opened product, 2-amino-2-hydroxy-3-(methylamino) propanoic acid (with a loss in carbon atom), indicated a reductive
degradation of pyrazine-2-carboxylate by strain HCU1. 相似文献

The aerobic degradation of cholesterol, testosterone, androsterone, progesterone, and further steroid compounds as sole carbon
source has been observed in the newly isolated bacterial Gram-positive strain Chol-4. The 16S rRNA gene sequence shares the
greatest similarity with members of the genus Rhodococcus, with the closest shared nucleotide identities of 98–99% with Rhodococcus
ruber (DSM 43338T) and Rhodococcus
aetherivorans (DSM 44752T). Phylogenetic analysis of Rhodococcus 16S rRNA gene sequences consistently places strain Chol-4 in a clade shared with those both type strains within the Rhodococcus rhodochrous subclade. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization against its two phylogenetically closest neighbors as well as the results
of morphological, physiological, and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain Chol-4 from
Rhodococcus
ruber (DSM 43338T) on the species level and from the other validly described Rhodococcus species on the genus level. Strain Chol-4 therefore merits recognition as a novel strain of the species Rhodococcus
ruber and demonstrates for the first time the capability of this species to utilize a great variety of steroid compounds as growth
substrates never shown for other species of this genus so far. The genome of strain Chol-4 harbors at least one gene cluster
that may be responsible for the degradation of steroid compounds. This gene cluster was identified in a cloned 5458 bp BamHI–EcoRV DNA fragment and compared to similar genes from other Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria described so far. 相似文献

A novel bacterium capable of utilizing 2-sec-butylphenol as the sole carbon and energy source, Pseudomonas sp. strain MS-1, was isolated from freshwater sediment. Within 30 h, strain MS-1 completely degraded 1.5 mM 2-sec-butylphenol in basal salt medium, with concomitant cell growth. A pathway for the metabolism of 2-sec-butylphenol by strain MS-1 was proposed on the basis of the identification of 3 internal metabolites—3-sec-butylcatechol, 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-7-methylnona-2,4-dienoic acid, and 2-methylbutyric acid—by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
analysis. Strain MS-1 degraded 2-sec-butylphenol through 3-sec-butylcatechol along a meta-cleavage pathway. Degradation experiments with various alkylphenols showed that the degradability of alkylphenols by strain
MS-1 depended strongly on the position (ortho ≫ meta = para) of the alkyl substitute, and that strain MS-1 could degrade 2-alkylphenols with various sized and branched alkyl chain (o-cresol, 2-ethylphenol, 2-n-propylphenol, 2-isopropylphenol, 2-sec-butylphenol, and 2-tert-butylphenol), as well as a dialkylphenol (namely, 6-tert-butyl-m-cresol). 相似文献

The present study was designed to expand genetic knowledge of myo
-inositol (MI) metabolism in Lactobacillus casei. Twenty-four L. casei isolates of dairy origin were tested for the presence of iol cluster. PCR screening revealed eight strains encoded functions involved in MI utilization, of which one strain was able
to use MI as carbon source. To gain a deeper understanding of the function of iol genes, four of the eight observed iol clusters were subjected to the full sequencing procedure. The results showed that the iol cluster was not a common feature among dairy L. casei strains. In addition, the four iol clusters were highly similar to one another in terms of sequence similarity and operon architecture. However, abundant polymorphisms
that comprised a majority of synonymous mutations were detected throughout the full sequences. Three of them distributed among
iolB, iolC, and iolT genes were found in linkage to MI-negative phenotype. Compared with other bacterial iol clusters, the iol cluster of L. casei showed a high similarity with that of Bacillus subtilis. 相似文献

The strain Rhodococcus ruber P25 utilizes 4-chlorobiphenyl (4CB) and 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4CBA) as sole carbon and energy sources. 4CB degradation by
washed cells of strain P25 was accompanied by transient formation of 4CBA, followed by its utilization and release of equimolar
amounts of chloride ions into the medium. The strain R. ruber P25 possessed active enzyme systems providing 4CBA degradation via the stages of formation of intermediates, para-hydroxybenzoate (PHBA) and protocatechuic acid (PCA), to compounds of the basic metabolism. The involvement of protocatechuate
4,5-dioxygenase in 4CBA degradation by rhodococci was revealed. It was established that the initial stage of 4CBA degradation
(dehalogenation) in the strain R. ruber P25 was controlled by the fcbA and fcbB genes encoding 4-CBA-CoA ligase and 4-CBA-CoA dehalogenase, respectively. The genes encoding 4CBA dehalogenase components
have not been previously detected and characterized in bacteria of the genus Rhodococcus. 相似文献

A newly discovered enteric bacterium Leclercia adecarboxylata PS4040, isolated from oily sludge contaminated soil sample was reported for degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(Appl Environ Microbiol 70:3163–3166, 2004a). This strain could degrade 61.5% of pyrene within 20 days when used as sole source of carbon and energy. The time course
degradation experiment detected several intermediate products and the metabolites were identified by gas chromatography mass
spectrometry analysis. Metabolite I was the detected on the 5th day and was identified as 1-hydroxypyrene and was detected
till 10th day. Metabolite II which was detected on 10th day was identified as 1,2-phenanthrenedicarboxylic acid. Metabolite
III and Metabolite IV were identified as 2-carboxy benzaldehyde and ortho-phthalic acid, respectively and were detected in the culture broth on 10th and 15th day. 1,2-benzene diol (catechol) was
the fifth metabolite detected in the culture extracts on the 15th day and was subsequently reduced on day 20. Identification
of Metabolite I as 1-hydroxypyrene was further investigated as this intermediate was not previously reported as a ring oxidation
product for degradation of pyrene by bacterial strains. Purification by preparative high performance liquid chromatography
and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, confirmed the identification of Metabolite I as 1-hydroxypyrene. L. adecarboxylata PS4040 could also use 1-hydroxypyrene as a sole source of carbon and energy. Thus a probable pathway for degradation of pyrene
by enteric bacterium is proposed in this study, with 1-hydroxypyrene as initial ring oxidation product. 相似文献

A strain utilizing cyclohexylamine as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen, designated NyZ12, was isolated from soil and
identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as Pseudomonas plecoglossicida. This bacterium released ammonia into the medium when grown on cyclohexylamine, and also grows readily on cyclohexanone as
the sole carbon source, suggesting that degradation involves an initial deamination step. 相似文献

A rod-shaped, gram-negative bacterium Stenotrophomonas sp. SMSP-1 was isolated from the sludge of a wastewater treating system of a pesticide manufacturer. Strain SMSP-1 could
hydrolyze methyl parathion to p-nitrophenol (PNP) and dimethyl phosphorothioate but could not degrade PNP further. Strain SMSP-1 was able to hydrolyze other
organophosphate pesticides, including fenitrothion, ethyl parathion, fenthion, and phoxim, but not chlorpyrifos. A 4395-bp
DNA fragment, including an organophosphorus hydrolase encoding gene ophc2, was cloned from the chromosome of strain SMSP-1 using the shotgun technique. Its sequence analysis showed that ophc2 was associated with a typical mobile element ISPpu12 consisting of tnpA (encoding a transposase), lspA (encoding a lipoprotein signal peptidase), and orf1 (encoding a CDF family heavy metal/H+ antiporter). The ophc2 gene was effectively expressed in E. coli. This is the second report of cloning the ophc2 gene and the first report of this gene from the genus of Stenotrophomonas. 相似文献

Methamidophos is one of the most widely used organophosphorus insecticides usually detectable in the environment. A facultative
methylotroph, Hyphomicrobium sp. MAP-1, capable of high efficiently degrading methamidophos, was isolated from methamidophos-contaminated soil in China. It
was found that the addition of methanol significantly promoted the growth of strain MAP-1 and enhanced its degradation of
methamidophos. Further, this strain could utilize methamidophos as its sole carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus source for growth
and could completely degrade 3,000 mg l−1 methamidophos in 84 h under optimal conditions (pH 7.0, 30°C). The enzyme responsible for methamidophos degradation was mainly
located on the cell inner membrane (90.4%). During methamidophos degradation, three metabolites were detected and identified
based on tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis. Using this information,
a biochemical degradation pathway of methamidophos by Hyphomicrobium sp. MAP-1 was proposed for the first time. Methamidophos is first cleaved at the P–N bond to form O,S-dimethyl hydrogen thiophosphate and NH3. Subsequently, O,S-dimethyl hydrogen thiophosphate is hydrolyzed at the P–O bond to release –OCH3 and form S-methyl dihydrogen thiophosphate. O,S-dimethyl hydrogen thiophosphate can also be hydrolyzed at the P–S bond to release –SCH3 and form methyl dihydrogen phosphate. Finally, S-methyl dihydrogen thiophosphate and methyl dihydrogen phosphate are likely transformed into phosphoric acid. 相似文献

Interaction of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 100NCJB with bacteria Campylobacter jejuni (strains 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and Helicobacter pylori, strain TX30a, was confirmed. The results indicate that lytic activity of bdellovibrios both in liquid media and cells attached
to a surface was observed. The potential use of the antimicrobial activity of predatory bacteria for environmental bioprotection

Gordonia terrea IIPN1 was isolated and characterized from soils collected at petroleum drilling sites. The strain was able to catabolize pyridine and 4-methylpyridine as sole carbon and nitrogen source. The strain failed to catabolize other pyridine derivatives. Growing cells completely degraded 30 mM of pyridine in 120 h with growth yield of 0.29 g g(-1). Resting Cells grown on 5 mM pyridine degraded 4-methylpyridine without a lag time and vice versa. Supplementary carbon and nitrogen source did not significantly change the specific growth rate and degradation rate by the resting cells. 相似文献

A soil bacterium capable of utilizing methyl parathion as sole carbon and energy source was isolated by selective enrichment
on minimal medium containing methyl parathion. The strain was identified as belonging to the genus Serratia based on a phylogram constructed using the complete sequence of the 16S rRNA. Serratia sp. strain DS001 utilized methyl parathion, p-nitrophenol, 4-nitrocatechol, and 1,2,4-benzenetriol as sole carbon and energy sources but could not grow using hydroquinone
as a source of carbon. p-Nitrophenol and dimethylthiophosphoric acid were found to be the major degradation products of methyl parathion. Growth on
p-nitrophenol led to release of stoichiometric amounts of nitrite and to the formation of 4-nitrocatechol and benzenetriol.
When these catabolic intermediates of p-nitrophenol were added to resting cells of Serratia sp. strain DS001 oxygen consumption was detected whereas no oxygen consumption was apparent when hydroquinone was added to
the resting cells suggesting that it is not part of the p-nitrophenol degradation pathway. Key enzymes involved in degradation of methyl parathion and in conversion of p-nitrophenol to 4-nitrocatechol, namely parathion hydrolase and p-nitrophenol hydroxylase component “A” were detected in the proteomes of the methyl parathion and p-nitrophenol grown cultures, respectively. These studies report for the first time the existence of a p-nitrophenol hydroxylase component “A”, typically found in Gram-positive bacteria, in a Gram-negative strain of the genus
Serratia.

Growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
ure2Δ mutant strain was investigated in the presence of diverse oxidant compounds. The inability of the strain to grow on a medium
supplemented with H2O2 was confirmed and a relationship between diminishing levels of glutathione (GSH) and peroxide sensitivity was established.
Data for the lack of significant effect of URE2 disruption on the cellular growth in the presence of paraquat and menadione were obtained. The possible role of Ure2p in
acquiring sensitivity to oxidative stress by means of its regulatory role in the GATA signal transduction pathway was discussed.
It was suggested that the susceptibility of ure2Δ mutant to the exogenous hydrogen peroxide can result from increased GSH degradation due to the deregulated localization of
the γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activating factors Gln3/Gat1. The important role of Ure2p in in vivo glutathione-mediated reactive
oxygen species (ROS) scavenging was shown by measuring the activity of antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase, superoxide
dismutase (SOD) and catalase in an URE2 disrupted strain. A time-dependent increase in SOD and catalase activity was observed. More importantly, it was shown that
the ure2 mutation could cause significant disturbance in cellular oxidant balance and increased ROS level. 相似文献

Summary. The paper describes two methods of the synthesis of ethyl (3R,4S)- and (3S,4S)-4-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]-5-[(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)amino]-3-hydroxypentanoates, useful for the syntheses of edeine analogs. Differently N-protected (S)-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid was used as a substrate in both procedures. The absolute configuration of newly generated asymmetric
carbon atoms C-3 in β-hydroxy-γ,δ-diamino products was assigned by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy after their transformation into corresponding piperidin-2-ones.

Cyanuric acid (1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triol [OOOT]) is a common biodegradation byproduct of triazinic herbicides, frequently
accumulated in soils or water when supplementary carbon sources are absent. A binary bacterial culture able to degrade OOOT
was selected through a continuous selection process accomplished in a chemostat fed with a mineral salt (MS) medium containing
cyanuric acid as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. By sequence comparison of their 16S rDNA amplicons, bacterial strains
were identified as Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and Acinetobacter sp. When the binary culture immobilized in a packed bed reactor (PBR) was fed with MS medium containing OOOT (50 mg L−1), its removal efficiencies were about 95%; when it was fed with OOOT plus glucose (120 mg L−1) as a supplementary carbon source, its removal efficiencies were closer to 100%. From sessile cells, attached to PBR porous
support, or free cells present in the outflowing medium, DNA was extracted and used for Random Amplification of Polymorphic
DNA analysis. Electrophoretic patterns obtained were compared to those of pure bacterial strains, a clear predominance of
A. tumefaciens in PBR was observed. Although in continuous suspended cell culture, a stable binary community could be maintained, the attachment
capability of A. tumefaciens represented a selective advantage over Acinetobacter sp. in the biofilm reactor, favoring its predominance in the porous stone support. 相似文献

A yeast strain isolated from feather waste from a chicken processing plant was identified as Candida parapsilosis by biochemical tests and morphological studies. The yeast was able to grow in phosphate-buffered saline supplemented with
1% native feather as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. A keratin substrate was obtained from the feathers by dimethylsulphoxide
extraction. A 20-fold concentrated culture supernatant from Candida parapsilosis grown on feathers was analysed by SDS–PAGE electrophoresis containing either 1% gelatin or 1% keratin as copolymerised substrates.
The presence of a single band with an approximate molecular mass of 60 kDa with gelatinolytic and keratinolytic activities
was observed. This proteolytic activity was fully inhibited by phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride. These results suggest that
the extracellular enzyme belongs to the serine peptidase class. This is the first report of an extracellular serine peptidase
produced by C. parapsilosis with keratinolytic activity. The role of this enzyme in yeast–host interactions is discussed. 相似文献
