Mangroves leaves phyllosphere bacteria community and its ability to survive under pyrene stress during the acclimation process. MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 187:105920. [PMID: 36931048 DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2023.105920] [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: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Plants in general and mangroves in particular can harbor hyper-diverse microorganisms in their different compartments including the phyllosphere area. This study used the leaves of three mangrove species; black mangrove (Avicenia germinans), red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) and mangrove apple (Sonneratia alba) in order to evaluate the phyllosphere epiphytic bacterial community on their leaves surface and assess the ability of some epiphytic bacteria to tolerate and survive under pyrene stress. Through the 16S rRNA genes sequencing, 380203, 405203 and 344863 OTUs were identified respectively in the leaves of mangroves apple, black and red mangroves. The identified OTUs was positively correlated with leaves-wax (p < 0.05, r2 = 0.904), nitrogen (r2 = 0.72), phosphorus content (r2 = 0.62) and the water factor (r2 = 0.93). It was however highly and negatively correlated with the canopy cover (r2 = 0.93). The pyrene degradation rate in the mineral salt medium (MSM) containing pyrene as external stress was different in each mangrove species and varied depending on various factors. Therefore, through the succession culture in MSM, several bacteria strain belonging to Rhizobiales and Enterobacteres were found to be abundant in red mangroves. Bacteria belonging to Bacilliales and Sphingobacteriales were more abundant in mangroves apples and bacteria from Xanthomonadales and Sphingomonadales were more presents in back mangroves. The important finding was to reveal that the black mangrove at the non-submerged substrate, recorded the highest number of OTU, coinciding with its highest leaf's nitrogen and phosphorus content and most importantly, its highest rate of pyrene degradation. The general result of this study join previous research results and get place in the mangrove agenda, as part of a better understanding insight into the role of plant identity in driving the phyllosphere epiphytic microbial community structures in mangrove ecosystems.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 298:118838. [PMID: 35031405 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.118838] [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: 05/28/2021] [Revised: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The heavy reliance on estrogens in the food industry worldwide greatly contributes to the environmental release of these compounds, begetting serious public concern of their fate. Various microorganisms capable of estrogen degradation, and their catabolic pathways, have been isolated, suggesting that they can eliminate estrogens in both engineered and natural environments. Nonetheless, it remains little understood as to how potential estrogen-degrading microorganisms are distributed within those habitats. An estrogen transmission chain from swine manure to compost, compost-amended soil, and neighboring agricultural soil was investigated in five suburban areas of Beijing, China. The concentrations of major estrogen classes decreased by > 90% from manure to soils, which did not co-vary with environmental antibiotics and heavy metal concentrations. Many bacterial taxa, such as Lactobacillus and Bacteroides, could serve as potential biomarkers of estrogen concentrations, while fungi were only occasionally accurate. To explain this phenomenon, stochasticity was found to be dominant in shaping the fungal communities across all samples, while deterministic selection, arising from biotic interactions, was important for bacterial communities. Metabolic genes involved in oxidizing phenol and catalyzing oxidative ring cleavage of catechol were detected, co-varying with estrogen concentrations. These findings are important as identifying microbial biomarkers of estrogen dynamics, spanning the levels of both taxonomy and functional genes, provides valuable information for assessing estrogen bioavailability and biomarking of estrogen fate in the environment.

Abstract
The common steroid hormones are estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), and testosterone (T). These steroids are reported to contaminate the environment through wastewater treatment plants. Steroid estrogens are widespread in the aquatic environment and therefore pose a potential risk, as exposure to these compounds has adverse impacts on vertebrates. Excessive exposure to steroid estrogens causes endocrine disruption in aquatic vertebrates, which affects the normal sexual life of these animals. Steroid pollutants also cause several health problems in humans and other animals. Microbial degradation is an efficient method for removing hormone pollutants from the environment by remediation. Over the last two decades, microbial metabolism of steroids has gained considerable attention due to its higher efficiency to reduce pollutants from the environment. The present review is focused on the major causes of steroid pollution, concentrations of these pollutants in surface water, groundwater, drinking water, and wastewater, their effect on humans and aquatic animals, as well as recent efforts by various research groups that seek better ways to degrade steroids by aerobic and anaerobic microbial systems. Detailed overview of aerobic and anaerobic microbial biotransformation of steroid estrogens and testosterone present in the environment along with the active enzyme systems involved in these biotransformation reactions is described in the review article, which helps readers to understand the biotransformation mechanism of steroids in depth. Other measures such as co-metabolic degradation, consortia degradation, algal, and fungal steroid biotransformation are also discussed in detail.

Zhang S, Hu Z, Wang H. Metagenomic analysis exhibited the co-metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by bacterial community from estuarine sediment. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2019; 129:308-319. [PMID: 31150973 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2019.05.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2019] [Revised: 04/15/2019] [Accepted: 05/08/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
The bacterial community from estuarine sediment undertakes the bioremediation and energy transformation of anthropogenic pollutants especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, information and studies on bacterial synergism and related metabolic profiles under the stress of PAHs are limited. In this study, sediments from estuarine were collected and co-incubated with a classical PAH, pyrene. The results showed that Alpha- and Gammaproteobacteria became abundant at the late domesticating phase with the dominant genus of ZD0117, the uncultivated bacteria affiliated into Gammaproteobacteria. Functional gene analysis based on metagenomic sequencing showed that quantitatively changes of genes directly related to the degradation of aromatic hydrocarbon coordinated with genes involved into various metabolic pathways such as acylglycerol degradation, nitrogen fixation, sulfate transport system, Arnon-Buchanan cycle, and Calvin cycle (P < 0.01 and |ρ| > 0.8). Fifty-six metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were reconstructed, which were primarily composed by Alpha- and Gammaproteobacteria. Bacteria belonging to the phylum Proteobacteria were found to be abundant in MAGs and contained genes encoding for dehydrogenase, which are key enzymes for pyrene degradation. In addition, genomes of uncultivated bacteria were successfully reconstructed and were proven to carry genes of synergistically metabolizing pyrene. Based on analysis of typical MAGs, the metabolic pathways involved in syntrophic associations of a pyrene-degrading consortium were reconstructed. The results in this study could make us fully understand the metabolic patterns of pyrene-degrading consortium from the estuarine sediment and widen the scope of functional bacteria.

P14 with potential application in bioremediation of steroids contaminated environment. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 362:170-177. [PMID: 30236938 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2018.09.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2018] [Revised: 08/25/2018] [Accepted: 09/07/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Steroids are endocrine disrupting compounds in human and are distributed in various environments. Our previous study showed that a marine bacterium Rhodococcus sp. P14 was able to efficiently degrade one typical steroid estradiol. In this study, we showed that P14 could also use other steroids, including estriol and testosterone, as sole carbon source for growth. Two dehydrogenation products, 16-hydroxestrone and androst-4-ene-3, 17-dione, were detected during estriol and testosterone degradation, respectively. By screening the genome, a short chain dehydrogenase gene was identified and named as 17β-HSDx. Expression of 17β-HSDx was induced in P14 when estriol, estradiol or testosterone was used as single carbon source. In addition, 17β-HSDx was shown to have dehydrogenation ability of transforming estriol to 16-hydroxestrone, estradiol to estrone and testosterone to androst-4-ene-3, 17-dione. This is the first short chain dehydrogenase identified in bacteria with dehydrogenation ability on various steroids substrates. Overall, this study reveals that 17β-HSDx has potential application in the bioremediation of steroids contaminated environment.
