Abstract
A polyphasic study was designed to determine the taxonomic status of isolate CSLK01-03T, which was recovered from an Indonesian neutral hot spring and provisionally assigned to the genus Rhodococcus. The isolate was found to have chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties typical of rhodococci. It has a rod-coccus lifecycle and grows from 10 to 39 °C, from pH 6.5 to 8.0 and in the presence of 0-10 % (w/v) sodium chloride. Whole-organism hydrolysates contain meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose and galactose, the predominant menaquinone is MK-8 (H2), the polar lipid pattern consists of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine and two unidentified components, it produces mycolic acids, and C16:0 is the major fatty acid. Whole-genome analyses show that the isolate and Rhodococcus electrodiphilus LMG 29881T (GenBank accession: JAULCK000000000) have genome sizes of 5.5 and 5.1 Mbp, respectively. These strains and Rhodococcus aetherivorans DSM 44752T and Rhodococcus ruber DSM 43338T form well-supported lineages in 16S rRNA and whole-genome trees that are close to sister lineages composed of the type strains of Rhodococcus rhodochrous and related Rhodococcus species. The isolate can be distinguished from its closest evolutionary neighbours using combinations of cultural and phenotypic features, and by low DNA-DNA hybridization values. Based on these data it is proposed that isolate CSLK01-03T (=CCMM B1310T=ICEBB-06T=NCIMB 15214T) be classified in the genus Rhodococcus as Rhodococcus indonesiensis sp. nov. The genomes of the isolate and its closest phylogenomic relatives are rich in biosynthetic gene clusters with the potential to synthesize new natural products, notably antibiotics. In addition, whole-genome-based taxonomy revealed that Rhodococcus electrodiphilus LMG 29881T and Rhodococcus ruber DSM 43338T belong to a single species. It is, therefore, proposed that R. electrodiphilus be recognized as a heterotypic synonym of R. ruber.

Fagervold SK, Rohée C, Lebaron P. Microbial consortia degrade several widely used organic UV filters, but a number of hydrophobic filters remain recalcitrant to biodegradation. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:125931-125946. [PMID: 38010544 PMCID: PMC10754744 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-31063-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
Organic UV filters are important ingredients in many personal care products, including sunscreens. Evaluating the biodegradability of organic UV filters is key to estimate their recalcitrance and environmental fate and thus central to their overall environmental risk assessment. In order to further understand the degradation process, the aim was to investigate whether specific consortia could degrade certain UV filters. Several bacterial strains were isolated from enrichment cultures actively degrading octocrylene (OC), butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (BM), homosalate (HS), and 2-ethylhexyl salicylate (ES) and were utilized to construct an in-house consortium. This synthetic consortium contained 27 bacterial strains and degraded OC, BM, HS, and ES 60-80% after 12 days, but not benzophenone-3 (BP3), methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT), methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol (MBBT), diethylhexyl butamido triazone (DBT), ethylhexyl triazone (EHT), or diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate (DHHB). Furthermore, several commercial microbial mixtures from Greencell were tested to assess their degradation activity toward the same organic UV filters. ES and HS were degraded by some of the commercial consortia, but to a lesser extent. The rest of the tested UV filters were not degraded by any of the commercial bacterial mixes. These results confirm that some organic UV filters are recalcitrant to biodegradation, while others are degraded by a specific set of microorganisms.
