[PMID: 38677386 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) is a frequently used, over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic medication. Considering increase in global consumption, its ubiquity in environment with potential toxic impacts has become a cause of great concern. Hence, bioremediation of this emerging contaminant is of paramount significance. The present study incorporates a microcosm centric omics approach to gain in-depth insights into APAP degradation by Paracoccus sp. APAP_BH8. It can metabolize APAP (300 mg kg-1) within 16 days in soil microcosms. Genome analysis revealed potential genes capable of mediating degradation includes M20 aminoacylase family protein, guanidine deaminase, 4-hydroxybenzoate 3-monooxygenase, and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase. Whole proteome analysis showed differential expression of enzymes and bioinformatics provided evidence for stable binding of intermediates at the active site of considered enzymes. Metabolites identified were 4-aminophenol, hydroquinone, and 3-hydroxy-cis, cis-muconate. Therefore, Paracoccus sp. APAP_BH8 with versatile enzymatic and genetic attributes can be a promising candidate for formulating improved in situ APAP bioremediation strategies.

Insight into the High-Efficiency Benzo(a)pyrene Degradation Ability of Pseudomonas benzopyrenica BaP3 and Its Application in the Complete Bioremediation of Benzo(a)pyrene. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15323. [PMID: 37895002 PMCID: PMC10607497 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242015323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are common carcinogens. Benzo(a)pyrene is one of the most difficult high-molecular-weight (HMW) PAHs to remove. Biodegradation has become an ideal method to eliminate PAH pollutants from the environment. The existing research is mostly limited to low-molecular-weight PAHs; there is little understanding of HMW PAHs, particularly benzo(a)pyrene. Research into the biodegradation of HMW PAHs contributes to the development of microbial metabolic mechanisms and also provides new systems for environmental treatments. Pseudomonas benzopyrenica BaP3 is a highly efficient benzo(a)pyrene-degrading strain that is isolated from soil samples, but its mechanism of degradation remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to clarify the high degradation efficiency mechanism of BaP3. The genes encoding Rhd1 and Rhd2 in strain BaP3 were characterized, and the results revealed that rhd1 was the critical factor for high degradation efficiency. Molecular docking and enzyme activity determinations confirmed this conclusion. A recombinant strain that could completely mineralize benzo(a)pyrene was also proposed for the first time. We explained the mechanism of the high-efficiency benzo(a)pyrene degradation ability of BaP3 to improve understanding of the degradation mechanism of highly toxic PAHs and to provide new solutions to practical applications via synthetic biology.

Abstract
A Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated as strain BaP3T, was isolated from the soil. Strain BaP3T grew at 16-37℃ (optimum, 30 °C) and pH 6.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). Additionally, strain BaP3T could tolerate NaCl concentrations in the range 0-6 % (optimum, 1%). Moreover, strain BaP3T was motile by flagella. The phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA sequences showed that strain BaP3T belonged to the genus Pseudomonas, and the sequence was most closely related to Pseudomonas oryzihabitans CGMCC 1.3392T and Pseudomonas psychrotolerans DSM 15758T, with 99.66 % sequence similarity. Pseudomonas rhizoryzae RY24T was the next closely related species, exhibiting 99.38 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain BaP3T and its closely related types were below 50 and 92 %, respectively. Both results were below the cut-off for species distinction. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain BaP3T was 65.30 mol%. The predominant quinone in strain BaP3T was identified as ubiquinone Q-9. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c) and C16 : 0. These results indicated that strain BaP3T represents a novel species in the genus Pseudomonas. The type strain is BaP3T (CCTCC AB 2022379T=JCM 35914T), for which the name Pseudomonas benzopyrenica sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract
Industrialization and other human activity represent significant environmental hazards. Toxic contaminants can harm a comprehensive platform of living organisms in their particular environments. Bioremediation is an effective remediation process in which harmful pollutants are eliminated from the environment using microorganisms or their enzymes. Microorganisms in the environment often create a variety of enzymes that can eliminate hazardous contaminants by using them as a substrate for development and growth. Through their catalytic reaction mechanism, microbial enzymes may degrade and eliminate harmful environmental pollutants and transform them into non-toxic forms. The principal types of microbial enzymes which can degrade most hazardous environmental contaminants include hydrolases, lipases, oxidoreductases, oxygenases, and laccases. Several immobilizations, genetic engineering strategies, and nanotechnology applications have been developed to improve enzyme performance and reduce pollution removal process costs. Until now, the practically applicable microbial enzymes from various microbial sources and their ability to degrade multipollutant effectively or transformation potential and mechanisms are unknown. Hence, more research and further studies are required. Additionally, there is a gap in the suitable approaches considering toxic multipollutants bioremediation using enzymatic applications. This review focused on the enzymatic elimination of harmful contaminants in the environment, such as dyes, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, plastics, heavy metals, and pesticides. Recent trends and future growth for effectively removing harmful contaminants by enzymatic degradation are also thoroughly discussed.

Abstract
Hydrophobic organic compounds, either natural or introduced through anthropogenic activities, pose a serious threat to all spheres of life, including humankind. These hydrophobic compounds are recalcitrant and difficult to degrade by the microbial system; however, microbes have also evolved their metabolic and degradative potential. Pseudomonas species have been reported to have a multipotential role in the biodegradation of aromatic hydrocarbons through aromatic ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases (ARHDs). The structural complexity of different hydrophobic substrates and their chemically inert nature demands the explicit role of evolutionary conserved multicomponent enzyme ARHDs. These enzymes catalyze ring activation and subsequent oxidation by adding two molecular oxygen atoms onto the vicinal carbon of the aromatic nucleus. This critical metabolic step in the aerobic mode of degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) catalyzed by ARHDs can also be explored through protein molecular docking studies. Protein data analysis enables an understanding of molecular processes and monitoring complex biodegradation reactions. This review summarizes the molecular characterization of five ARHDs from Pseudomonas species already reported for PAH degradation. Homology modeling for the amino acid sequences encoding the catalytic α-subunit of ARHDs and their docking analyses with PAHs suggested that the enzyme active sites show flexibility around the catalytic pocket for binding of low molecular weight (LMW) and high molecular weight (HMW) PAH substrates (naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, benzo[α]pyrene). The alpha subunit harbours variable catalytic pockets and broader channels, allowing relaxed enzyme specificity toward PAHs. ARHD's ability to accommodate different LMW and HMW PAHs demonstrates its 'plasticity', meeting the catabolic demand of the PAH degraders.

Pseudomonas in environmental bioremediation of hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds- key catabolic degradation enzymes and new analytical platforms for comprehensive investigation.

Abstract
Pollution of the environment with petroleum hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds is one of the biggest problems in the age of industrialization and high technology. Species of the genus Pseudomonas, present in almost all hydrocarbon-contaminated areas, play a particular role in biodegradation of these xenobiotics, as the genus has the potential to decompose various hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds, using them as its only source of carbon. Plasticity of carbon metabolism is one of the adaptive strategies used by Pseudomonas to survive exposure to toxic organic compounds, so a good knowledge of its mechanisms of degradation enables the development of new strategies for the treatment of pollutants in the environment. The capacity of microorganisms to metabolize aromatic compounds has contributed to the evolutionally conserved oxygenases. Regardless of the differences in structure and complexity between mono- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, all these compounds are thermodynamically stable and chemically inert, so for their decomposition, ring activation by oxygenases is crucial. Genus Pseudomonas uses several upper and lower metabolic pathways to transform and degrade hydrocarbons, phenolic compounds, and petroleum hydrocarbons. Data obtained from newly developed omics analytical platforms have enormous potential not only to facilitate our understanding of processes at the molecular level but also enable us to instigate and monitor complex biodegradations by Pseudomonas. Biotechnological application of aromatic metabolic pathways in Pseudomonas to bioremediation of environments polluted with crude oil, biovalorization of lignin for production of bioplastics, biofuel, and bio-based chemicals, as well as Pseudomonas-assisted phytoremediation are also considered.
