[PMID: 37320906 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Atrazine residues running off the fields and entering water resources are a major threat to food security and the ecosystem. In this study, a psychrotrophic functional strain named KN0901 to remove atrazine residues was screened. KN0901 could degrade 30 mg·L-1 atrazine in 4 days at 15ºC with 105 CFU·mL-1 incubation. The phylogenetic results showed KN0901 belonged to Paenarthrobacter sp. PCR results showed that the functional genes consist of trzN, atzB, and atzC, suggesting atrazine was transformed to cyanuric acid by KN0901. KN0901 could degrade atrazine without adding exogenous carbon and nitrogen sources. What's more, KN0901 could tolerate extreme low temperature (5ºC) and high atrazine concentration (100 mg·L-1). When growth and degradation curves were compared, the results indicated the length of lag time showed significant correlation to atrazine degradation rate. The hydroponic experiments showed that the toxicity of atrazine was significantly reduced with KN0901 treatment. The study provided an effective, economic, and eco-friendly bioremediation measure to address atrazine contamination.

Abstract
A bacterial strain A1-3 with iprodione-degrading capabilities was isolated from the soil for vegetable growing under greenhouses at Lhasa, Tibet. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic, and genotypic data, strain A1-3 was considered to represent a novel species of genus Azospirillum. It was able to use iprodione as the sole source of carbon and energy for growth, 27.96 mg/L (50.80%) iprodione was reduced within 108 h at 25°C. During the degradation of iprodione by Azospirillum sp. A1-3, iprodione was firstly degraded to N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine, and then to (3,5-dichlorophenylurea) acetic acid. However, (3,5-dichlorophenylurea) acetic acid cannot be degraded to 3,5-dichloroaniline by Azospirillum sp. A1-3. A ipaH gene which has a highly similarity (98.72-99.92%) with other previously reported ipaH genes, was presented in Azospirillum sp. A1-3. Azospirillum novel strain with the ability of iprodione degradation associated with nitrogen fixation has never been reported to date, and Azospirillum sp. A1-3 might be a promising candidate for application in the bioremediation of iprodione-contaminated environments.

The Novel Monooxygenase Gene dipD in the dip Gene Cluster of Alcaligenes faecalis JQ135 Is Essential for the Initial Catabolism of Dipicolinic Acid. Appl Environ Microbiol 2022; 88:e0036022. [PMID: 35766505 PMCID: PMC9317849 DOI: 10.1128/aem.00360-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Dipicolinic acid (DPA), an essential pyridine derivative biosynthesized in Bacillus spores, constitutes a major proportion of global biomass carbon pool. Alcaligenes faecalis strain JQ135 could catabolize DPA through the "3HDPA (3-hydroxydipicolinic acid) pathway." However, the genes involved in this 3HDPA pathway are still unknown. In this study, a dip gene cluster responsible for DPA degradation was cloned from strain JQ135. The expression of dip genes was induced by DPA and negatively regulated by DipR. A novel monooxygenase gene, dipD, was crucial for the initial hydroxylation of DPA into 3HDPA and proposed to encode the key catalytic component of the multicomponent DPA monooxygenase. The heme binding protein gene dipF, ferredoxin reductase gene dipG, and ferredoxin genes dipJ/dipK/dipL were also involved in the DPA hydroxylation and proposed to encode other components of the multicomponent DPA monooxygenase. The 18O2 stable isotope labeling experiments confirmed that the oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group of 3HDPA came from dioxygen molecule rather than water. The protein sequence of DipD exhibits no significant sequence similarities with known oxygenases, suggesting that DipD was a new member of oxygenase family. Moreover, bioinformatic survey suggested that the dip gene cluster was widely distributed in many Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaproteobacteria, including soil bacteria, aquatic bacteria, and pathogens. This study provides new molecular insights into the catabolism of DPA in bacteria. IMPORTANCE Dipicolinic acid (DPA) is a natural pyridine derivative that serves as an essential component of the Bacillus spore. DPA accounts for 5 to 15% of the dry weight of spores. Due to the huge number of spores in the environment, DPA is also considered to be an important component of the global biomass carbon pool. DPA could be decomposed by microorganisms and enter the global carbon cycling; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are rarely studied. In this study, a DPA catabolic gene cluster (dip) was cloned and found to be widespread in Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaproteobacteria. The genes responsible for the initial hydroxylation of DPA to 3-hydroxyl-dipicolinic acid were investigated in Alcaligenes faecalis strain JQ135. The present study opens a door to elucidate the mechanism of DPA degradation and its possible role in DPA-based carbon biotransformation on earth.

Degradation of dimethachlon by a newly isolated bacterium Paenarthrobacter sp. strain JH-1 relieves its toxicity against Chlorella ellipsoidea. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 208:112706. [PMID: 35031339 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.112706] [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: 11/21/2021] [Revised: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Dimethachlon, a broad-spectrum dicarboximide fungicide, poses a hazard to the safety of human and ecosystem due to its residue in the environment. A high-efficient dimethachlon degrading bacteria JH-1 belonging to Paenarthrobacter sp. was isolated and characterized. Strain JH-1 can utilize high concentration of dimethachlon as sole carbon source for growth and degrade 98.53% of 300 mg·L-1 dimethachlon within 72 h. Crude enzyme of strain JH-1 could degrade 99.76% of 100 mg·L-1 dimethachlon within 2 h. The optimum degradation condition of dimethachlon by strain JH-1 was at 35 °C and pH 7.0. Dimethachlon was degraded in Paenarthrobacter sp. JH-1 as following: it was firstly converted to 4-(3,5-dichloroanilino)-4-oxobutanoic acid and then subjected to the hydrolysis to 3,5-dichloroaniline and succinic acid, the latter was further degraded. Dimethachlon inhibited the growth of Chlorella ellipsoidea, while Paenarthrobacter sp. JH-1 could degrade dimethachlon to relieve its toxicity. This work facilitates our knowledge of the degradation mechanism of dimethachlon and offers potential resource of microbial strains for the bioremediation of dimethachlon-contaminated environments in the future.

Abstract
Pymetrozine is a synthetic pesticide that can be utilized as the sole carbon source by Pseudomonas sp. strain BYT-1. However, the genes involved in the degradation of pymetrozine remain unknown. We used transposon mutagenesis to create a mutant that unable to hydrolyze pymetrozine. The transposon interrupted the gene pyzH, which was cloned by self-formed adaptor PCR. PyzH hydrolyzed the C=N double bond of pymetrozine to produce 4-amino-6-methyl-4,5-dihydro-2H-[1,2,4]triazin-3-one (AMDT) and nicotinaldehyde; the latter inhibits PyzH activity. PyzH can completely hydrolyze pymetrozine in the presence of dehydrogenase ORF6, which can convert nicotinaldehyde into nicotinic acid and relieve the inhibition. H2 18 O-labeling experiments showed that the oxygen atom of nicotinaldehyde came from water instead of oxygen. PyzH homologous genes were also found in other soil isolates able to degrade pymetrozine.
