[PMID: 38484657 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133954] [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: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Globally, rice is becoming more vulnerable to arsenic (As) pollution, posing a serious threat to public food safety. Previously Debaryomyces hansenii was found to reduce grain As content of rice. To better understand the underlying mechanism, we performed a genome analysis to identify the key genes in D. hansenii responsible for As tolerance and plant growth promotion. Notably, genes related to As resistance (ARR, Ycf1, and Yap) were observed in the genome of D. hansenii. The presence of auxin pathway and glutathione metabolism-related genes may explain the plant growth-promoting potential and As tolerance mechanism of this novel yeast strain. The genome annotation of D. hansenii indicated that it contains a repertoire of genes encoding antioxidants, well corroborated with the in vitro studies of GST, GR, and glutathione content. In addition, the effect of D. hansenii on gene expression profiling of rice plants under As stress was also examined. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database revealed 307 genes, annotated in D. hansenii-treated rice, related to metabolic pathways (184), photosynthesis (12), glutathione (10), tryptophan (4), and biosynthesis of secondary metabolite (117). Higher expression of regulatory elements like AUX/IAA and WRKY transcription factors (TFs), and defense-responsive genes dismutases, catalases, peroxiredoxin, and glutaredoxins during D. hansenii+As exposure was also observed. Combined analysis revealed that D. hansenii genes are contributing to stress mitigation in rice by supporting plant growth and As-tolerance. The study lays the foundation to develop yeast as a beneficial biofertilizer for As-prone areas.

DhDIT2 Encodes a Debaryomyces hansenii Cytochrome P450 Involved in Benzo(a)pyrene Degradation-A Proposal for Mycoremediation. J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 8:jof8111150. [PMID: 36354917 PMCID: PMC9698926 DOI: 10.3390/jof8111150] [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] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), e.g., benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), are common components of contaminating mixtures. Such compounds are ubiquitous, extremely toxic, and they pollute soils and aquatic niches. The need for new microorganism-based remediation strategies prompted researchers to identify the most suitable organisms to eliminate pollutants without interfering with the ecosystem. We analyzed the effect caused by BaP on the growth properties of Candida albicans, Debaryomyces hansenii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Their ability to metabolize BaP was also evaluated. The aim was to identify an optimal candidate to be used as the central component of a mycoremediation strategy. The results show that all four yeast species metabolized BaP by more than 70%, whereas their viability was not affected. The best results were observed for D. hansenii. When an incubation was performed in the presence of a cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibitor, no BaP degradation was observed. Thus, the initial oxidation step is mediated by a CYP enzyme. Additionally, this study identified the D. hansenii DhDIT2 gene as essential to perform the initial degradation of BaP. Hence, we propose that D. hansenii and a S. cerevisiae expressing the DhDIT2 gene are suitable candidates to degrade BaP in contaminated environments.

NGS barcode sequencing in taxonomy and diagnostics, an application in " Candida" pathogenic yeasts with a metagenomic perspective. IMA Fungus 2018; 9:91-105.

Abstract
Species identification of yeasts and other Fungi is currently carried out with Sanger sequences of selected molecular markers, mainly from the ribosomal DNA operon, characterized by hundreds of tandem repeats of the 18S, ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2 and LSU loci. The ITS region has been recently proposed as a primary barcode marker making this region the most used one in taxonomy, phylogeny and diagnostics. The introduction of NGS is providing tools of high efficacy and relatively low cost to amplify two or more markers simultaneously with great sequencing depth. However, the presence of intra-genomic variability between the repeats requires specific analytical procedures and pipelines. In this study, 286 strains belonging to 11 pathogenic yeasts species were analysed with NGS of the region spanning from ITS1 to the D1/D2 domain of the LSU encoding ribosomal DNA. Results showed that relatively high heterogeneity can hamper the use of these sequences for the identification of single strains and even more of complex microbial mixtures. These observations point out that the metagenomics studies could be affected by species inflection at levels higher than currently expected.
