Abstract A stable nine-membered aerobic bacterial consortium (BSEN-2) growing on biphenyl as the sole carbon and energy source was isolated from a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contaminated soil. Characterisation of the members, strains BPSI-1 to 9, revealed three principal genera, Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas and Alcaligenes . Phenotypic analysis based on standard microbiological tests and Biolog identification, showed close relationship between community members with the exception of Sphingomonas paucimobilis strain BPSI-3. Some clusters revealed relationships unrelated to genus groupings. Strain BPSI-3 produced a bright yellow water soluble compound from biphenyl having absorption maxima at 412 and 337 nm at neutral pH. This is similar, but not identical, to those results reported for muconic semialdehydes, cleavage products of biphenyl and other aromatic compounds. Only four of the nine isolates, BPSI-2, 3, 4 and 7, were capable of growth on biphenyl as sole carbon and energy source. Two isolates, Alcaligenes faecalis type II strain BPSI-2 and S. paucimobilis strain BPSI-3, were isolated together and were difficult to separate into pure cultures. Growth studies in liquid culture showed that a co-culture of these two achieved a specific growth rate (μ) approximately twice as high as strain BPSI-2 and four times that of BPSI-3. Both strains grew equally well on benzoate with no significant difference in their specific growth rates. When compared to the original mixed culture, BSEN-2, the co-culture achieved 39% greater biomass and a specific growth rate twice as high. In the co-culture, the yellow colour seen with pure cultures of BPSI-3 was not observed. BPSI-2 was found to be able to utilise the yellow metabolites more effectively than BPSI-3. A model for the interaction of these two strains, based on the utilisation of biphenyl catabolites and degradation at the genetic level, has been proposed.  相似文献

The genes of two 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenases (BphC1 and BphC2) were obtained from the gene library of Rhodococcus sp. R04. The enzymes have been purified to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity from the cell extracts of the recombinant harboring bphC1 and bphC2. Both BphC1 and BphC2 were hexamers, consisting of six subunits of 35 and 33kDa as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, respectively. The enzymes had similar optimal pH (pH 9.0), but different temperatures for their maximum activity (30 degrees C for BphC1, 80 degrees C for BphC2). In addition, they exhibited distinct stability at various temperatures. The enzymes could cleave a wide range of catechols, with 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl being the optimum substrate for BphC1 and BphC2. BphC1 was inhibited by 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl, catechol and 3-chlorocatechol, whereas BphC2 showed strong substrate inhibition for all the given substrates. BphC2 exhibited a half-life of 15min at 80 degrees C and 50min at 70 degrees C, making it the most thermostable extradiol dioxygenase studied in mesophilic bacteria. After disruption of bphC1 and bphC2 genes, R04DeltaC1 (bphC1 mutant) delayed the time of their completely eliminating biphenyl another 15h compared with its parent strain R04, but R04DeltaC2 (bphC2 mutant) lost the ability to grow on biphenyl, suggesting that BphC1 plays an assistant role in the degrading of biphenyl by strain R04, while BphC2 is essential for the growth of strain R04 on biphenyl.  相似文献

Pseudomonas paucimobilis Q1 originally isolated as biphenyl degrading organism (Furukawa et al. 1983), was shown to grow with naphthalene. After growth with biphenyl or naphthalene the strain synthesized the same enzyme for the ring cleavage of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl or 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene. The enzyme, although characterized as 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase (Taira et al. 1988), exhibited considerably higher relative activity with 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene. These results demonstrate that this enzyme can function both in the naphthalene and biphenyl degradative pathway.Abbreviations DHBP dihydroxybiphenyl - DHBPDO 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase - DHDHNDH 1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene dehydrogenase - DHN 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene - DHNDO 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene dioxygenase - HBP cis-2-hydroxybenzalpyruvate - HOPDA 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoate - PCB polychlorinated biphenyl - 2NS naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid  相似文献

2,3-Dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase, involved in biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyl degradation, was purified from cell extracts of polychlorinated biphenyl-degrading Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1161 carrying the cloned bphC gene (encoding 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase). The purified enzyme contained ferrous iron as a prosthetic group. The specific activities decreased with the loss of ferrous iron from the enzyme, and the activity was restored by incubation with ferrous iron in the presence of cysteine. Addition of ferric iron caused the complete inactivation of the enzyme. The molecular weight was estimated to be 250,000. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a single band with a molecular weight of 31,000, indicating that the enzyme consists of eight identical subunits. The enzyme was specific only for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl with a Km value of 87 microM. No significant activity was observed for 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl, catechol, or 3-methyl- and 4-methylcatechol. The molecular weight, subunit structure, ferrous iron requirement, and NH2-terminal sequence (starting with serine up to 12 residues) were the same between the two enzymes obtained from KF707 and PAO1161 (bphC).  相似文献

The filamentous fungusTalaromyces helicus , isolated from oil-contaminated sludge, oxidizes biphenyl via 4-hydroxybiphenyl to the dihydroxylated derivatives 4,4-dihydroxybiphenyl and 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl, which, to a certain extent, are converted to glycosyl conjugates. The sugar moiety of the conjugate formed from 4,4-dihydroxybiphenyl was identified as glucose. Further metabolites: 2-hydroxybiphenyl, 2,5-dihydroxylated biphenyl, and the ring cleavage product 4-phenyl-2-pyrone-6-carboxylic acid accumulated only in traces. From these results the main pathway for biotransformation of biphenyl in T. helicus could be proposed to be the excretion of dihydroxylated derivatives (>75%) and their glucosyl conjugates (<25%).  相似文献

Rhodococcus globerulus strain P6 contains at least three genes, bphC1, bphC2, and bphC3, coding for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenases; the latter two specify enzymes of the family of one-domain extradiol dioxygenases. In order to assess the importance of these different isoenzymes for the broad catabolic activity of this organism towards the degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), the capacities of recombinant enzymes expressed in Escherichia coli to transform different chlorosubstituted dihydroxybiphenyls formed by the action of R. globerulus P6 biphenyl dioxygenase and biphenyl 2,3-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase were determined. Whereas both BphC2 and BphC3 showed similar activities for 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl and all monochlorinated 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyls, BphC1 exhibited only weak activity for 2'-chloro-2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl. More highly chlorinated 2'-chlorosubstituted 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyls were also transformed at high rates by BphC2 and BphC3 but not BphC1. In R. globerulus P6, BphC2 was constitutively expressed, BphC1 expression was induced during growth on biphenyl, and BphC3 was not expressed at significant levels under the experimental conditions. Although we cannot rule out the expression of BphC3 under certain environmental conditions, it seems that the contrasting substrate specificities of BphC1 and BphC2 contribute significantly to the versatile PCB-degrading phenotype of R. globerulus P6.  相似文献

The 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase from Sphingomonas sp. strain BN6 (BphC1-BN6) differs from most other extradiol dioxygenases by its ability to oxidize 3-chlorocatechol to 3-chloro-2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde by a distal cleavage mechanism. The turnover of different substrates and the effects of various inhibitors on BphC1-BN6 were compared with those of another 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase from the same strain (BphC2-BN6) as well as with those of the archetypical catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O-mt2) encoded by the TOL plasmid. Cell extracts containing C23O-mt2 or BphC2-BN6 converted the relevant substrates with an almost constant rate for at least 10 min, whereas BphC1-BN6 was inactivated significantly within the first minutes during the turnover of all substrates tested. Furthermore, BphC1-BN6 was much more sensitive than the other two enzymes to inactivation by the Fe(II) ion-chelating compound o-phenanthroline. The reason for inactivation of BphC1-BN6 appeared to be the loss of the weakly bound ferrous ion, which is the cofactor in the catalytic center. A mutant enzyme of BphC1-BN6 constructed by site-directed mutagenesis showed a higher stability to inactivation by o-phenanthroline and an increased catalytic efficiency for the conversion of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl and 3-methylcatechol but was still inactivated during substrate oxidation.  相似文献

Hydroxylation of biphenyl by the dibenzofuran-degrading yeast Trichosporon mucoides SBUG 801 was studied. Glucose-grown cells degraded 40% of the biphenyl added within the first 24 h of incubation. The first step in the biotransformation pathway was the monohydroxylation of the biaryl compound to produce 2-, 3-, and 4-hydroxybiphenyl. Further oxidation produced seven dihydroxylated intermediates; the second hydroxyl group was added either on the aromatic ring already hydroxylated or on the second ring. Of all metabolites, 2,5-dihydroxybiphenyl accumulated in the supernatant in the highest concentration. The initial hydroxylation favors the 4-position to produce 4-hydroxybiphenyl, which is subsequently hydroxylated to form 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl. When biphenyl was replaced as a substrate by 4-hydroxybiphenyl, further hydroxylation of the intermediate 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl resulted in 3,4,4'-trihydroxybiphenyl. Incubation of T. mucoides with biphenyl and 18O2 indicated a monooxygenase-catalyzed reaction in the oxidation of biphenyl. The hydroxylation was inhibited by 1-aminobenzotriazole and metyrapone, known cytochrome P450 inhibitors. These results are very similar to those observed in the biotransformation of biphenyl in mammals.  相似文献

Summary A bacterium capable of utilizing biphenyl as the sole source of carbon was isolated from soil and identified as a Micrococcus species. The organism also utilized 4-chlorobiphenyl and several other aromatic compounds as growth substrates. 2,3-Dihydroxybiphenyl and benzoic acid were identified as intermediates by physico-chemical methods. The bacterium degraded biphenyl to 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl followed by its meta-ring cleavage to yield 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoic acid, which was then hydrolysed to give benzoic acid. Benzoate was further metabolised via a catechol meta-cleavage pathway by a Micrococcus sp.Correspondence to: H. Z. Ninnekar  相似文献

We cloned the entire bphABCD genes encoding degradation of biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyls to benzoate and chlorobenzoates from the chromosomal DNA of Pseudomonas putida KF715. The nucleotide sequence revealed two open reading frames corresponding to the bphC gene encoding 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase and the bphD gene encoding 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoic acid (ring-meta-cleavage compound) hydrolase.  相似文献

Rhodococcus erythropolis TA421, a polychlorinated biphenyl and biphenyl degrader isolated from a termite ecosystem, has seven bphC genes expressing 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase activity. R. erythropolis TA421 harbored a large and probably linear plasmid on which three (bphC2, bphC3, and bphC4) of the seven bphC genes were located. A non-biphenyl-degrading mutant, designated strain TA422, was obtained spontaneously from R. erythropolis TA421. TA422 lacked the plasmid, suggesting that the three bphC genes were involved in the degradation of biphenyl. Southern blot analyses showed that R. erythropolis TA421 and Rhodococcus globerulus P6 have a similar set of bphC genes and that the genes for biphenyl catabolism are located on plasmids of different sizes. These results indicated that the genes encoding the biphenyl catabolic pathway in Rhodococcus strains are borne on plasmids.  相似文献

Molecular genetics and evolutionary relationship of PCB-degrading bacteria   总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20  
Biphenyl-utilizing soil bacteria are ubiquitously distributed in the natural environment. They cometabolize a variety of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners to chlorobenzoic acids through a 2,3-dioxygenase pathway, or alternatively through a 3,4-dioxygenase system. Thebph genes coding for the metabolism of biphenyl have been cloned from several pseudomonads. The biochemistry and molecular genetics of PCB degradation are reviewed and discussed from the viewpoint of an evolutionary relationship.Abbreviations BP biphenyl - bph BP/PCB-degradative gene - 23DHBP 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl - HPDA 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa 2,4-dienoic acid - KF707 P. pseudoalcaligenes strain KF707 - LB400 Pseudomonas sp. strain LB400 - PCB polychlorinated biphenyls - Q1 P. paucimobilis strain Q1tod; toluene catabolic gene  相似文献

Summary A bioconversion process was demonstrated by manipulation of catabolic genes. Catabolic intermediates of various biphenyl compounds could be efficiently produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa carrying recombinant plasmids containing a set of cloned bph genes. A dihydrodiol compound was produced by the strain carrying plasmid pMFB4 containing bphA (encoding biphenyl dioxygenase) gene. A dihydroxy compound was produced from 4-chlorobiphenyl by the strain carrying plasmid pMFB6 containing bphA and bphB (encoding dihydrodiol dehydrogenase) genes. Tetrahydroxybiphenyl was accumulated as the final product via dihydroxybiphenyl from biphenyl by the same pMFB6 carrying strain. Meta-cleavage yellow compounds were produced from biphenyl and its derivatives substituted with methyl, chloro, bromo, or nitro group on one of the biphenyl rings by the strain carrying plasmid pMFB2 containing bphA, bphB and bphC (encoding dihydroxybiphenyl dioxygenase) genes.  相似文献

Metabolism of 2,4,4′-trichlorobiphenyl by Acinetobacter sp. strain P6 has been studied. When the incubation was carried out without shaking at 15°C, two isomeric monohydroxy compounds, a dihydrodiol compound, a dihydroxy compound, a meta-cleaved yellow compound and a dichlorobenzoic acid were detected by combined gas liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry. As an additional metabolite, dichlorodihydroxy biphenyl, a dechlorinationhydroxylation product, was also detected. When the incubation mixture was shaken at 30°C, a meta-cleaved yellow compound was readily produced and predominantly accumulated in the reaction mixture upon further incubation. The major pathway of 2,4,4′-trichlorobiphenyl by Acinetobacter sp. P6 was considered to proceed oxidatively via 2.′3′-dihydro-2′,3′-diol compound, concomitant dehydrogenated 2′,3′-dihydroxy compound and then the 1′,2′-meta-cleaved yellow compound, i.e., 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6(2,4-dichlorophenyl)hexa-2,4-dienoic acid.  相似文献

Biphenyls and dibenzofurans are the phytoalexins of the Maloideae, a subfamily of the economically important Rosaceae. The biphenyl aucuparin accumulated in Sorbus aucuparia L. cell cultures in response to yeast extract treatment. Incubation of cell-free extracts from challenged cell cultures with benzoyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA led to the formation of 3,5-dihydroxybiphenyl. This reaction was catalysed by a novel polyketide synthase, which will be named biphenyl synthase. The most efficient starter substrate for the enzyme was benzoyl-CoA. Relatively high activity was also observed with 2-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA but, instead of the corresponding biphenyl, the derailment product 2-hydroxybenzoyltriacetic acid lactone was formed.Abbreviations BIS biphenyl synthase - BPS benzophenone synthase - DTT dithiothreitol  相似文献

We examined the pathway by which the fungicide biphenyl is metabolized in the imperfect fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus. The initial oxidation yielded the three monohydroxylated biphenyls. Further hydroxylation occurred on the first and the second aromatic ring systems, resulting in the formation of five di- and trihydroxylated metabolites. The fungus could cleave the aromatic structures, resulting in the transformation of biphenyl via ortho-substituted dihydroxybiphenyl to six-ring fission products. All compounds were characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These compounds include 2-hydroxy-4-phenylmuconic acid and 2-hydroxy-4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-muconic acid, which were produced from 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl and further transformed to the corresponding lactones 4-phenyl-2-pyrone-6-carboxylic acid and 4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-pyrone-6-carboxylic acid, which accumulated in large amounts. Two additional ring cleavage products were identified as (5-oxo-3-phenyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)-acetic acid and [5-oxo-3-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl]-acetic acid. We found that P. lilacinus has a high transformation capacity for biphenyl, which could explain this organism's tolerance to this fungicide.  相似文献

We have previously shown that the bacterium Sphingomonas paucimobilis BPSI-3, isolated from PCB-contaminated soil, can degrade halogenated biphenyls, naphthalenes, catechols and benzoic acids. However, before such an organism can be used in bioremediation, it is important to characterise the degradation products and determine the degradation pathways to ensure that compounds more toxic or mobile than the original contaminants are not produced. In the degradation of 4-chlorobiphenyl, S. paucimobilis BPSI-3 produces a novel chlorinated picolinic acid. In this paper, we show that 4-chlorobenzoate is an intermediate in this degradation and, through 15N-labelling, that 5-chloropicolinate is the only nitrogenous metabolite isolated under the extraction conditions used. The position of the chlorine indicates that degradation of 4-chlorocatechol occurs exclusively via a 2,3-extradiol cleavage. These data allow us to postulate a more definitive catabolic pathway for the biodegradation of 4-chlorobiphenyl to 5-chloro-2-hydroxymuconic acid semialdehyde via 4-chlorobenzoate in S. paucimobilis BPSI-3.

It was shown that two different enzymes of aromatic ring oxidative meta-cleavage (2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl-1,2-dioxygenase), DBO and catechol-2,3-dioxygenase, C230) function in Pseudomonas strains with a plasmid and chromosomal genetic control of biphenyl and toluate catabolism. A comparative analysis of DBO's and C230's expressed by the pBS241 biphenyl degradative plasmid in P. putida BS893, pBS311 in P. putida U83, chromosomal genes in P. putida BF and C230 from P. putida PaW160 (pWWO) was carried out. It was found that the DBO's of all strains under study are highly specialized enzymes in respect of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl cleavage and are also able to cleave 3-methyl-catechol and catechol (but not 4-methylcatechol) at low rates. In contrast with DBO's, in Pseudomonas strains the substrate specificities of all C230's are variable. The C230's expressed by the D-plasmids pBS241 and pBC311 have a moderate affinity for catechol, 3-methyl- and 4-methylcatechol, but are unable to cleave 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl. The C230 which is encoded by the chromosomal structure gene from P. putida BF is very similar to C230 which codes for the TOL-plasmid pWWO. These plasmid differ from C230's expressed by biphenyl D-plasmids due to their capability to cleave 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl in addition to catechol cleavage. All DBO's and C230's under study possess a number of properties that are typical for the enzymes having an oxidative meta-cleaving effect. The different roles of these enzymes in biphenyl and toluate catabolism in Pseudomonas strains are discussed.  相似文献
