Identification of oxidoreductases from the petroleum Bacillus safensis strain.

ABSTRACT: A gram-positive bacterium, denominated CFA-06, was isolated from Brazilian petroleum in the Campos Basin and is responsible for the degradation of aromatic compounds and petroleum aromatic fractions. The CFA-06 strain was identified as Bacillus safensis using the 16S rRNA and gyrase B sequence. Enzymatic assays revealed the presence of two oxidoreductases: a catalase and a new oxidoreductase. The oxidoreductases were enzymatically digested and analyzed via ESI-LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometry. The mass data revealed a novel oxidoreductase (named BsPMO) containing 224 amino acids and 89% homology with a hypothetic protein from B. safensis (CFA-06) and a catalase (named BsCat) with 491 amino acids and 60% similarity with the catalase from Bacillus pumilus (SAFR-032). The new protein BsPMO contains iron atom(s) and shows catalytic activity toward a monooxygenase fluorogenic probe in the presence of cofactors (NADH, NADPH and NAD). This study enhances our knowledge of the biodegradation process of petroleum by B. safensis.

Project description:The mechanism of bacterial adaption to manganese-polluted environments was explored using 50 manganese-tolerant strains of bacteria isolated from soil of the largest manganese mine in China. Efficiency of manganese removal by the isolated strains was investigated using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Bacillus safensis strain ST7 was the most effective manganese-oxidizing bacteria among the tested isolates, achieving up to 82% removal at a Mn(II) concentration of 2,200 mg/L. Bacteria-mediated manganese oxide precipitates and high motility were observed, and the growth of strain ST7 was inhibited while its biofilm formation was promoted by the presence of Mn(II). In addition, strain ST7 could grow in the presence of high concentrations of Al(III), Cr(VI), and Fe(III). Genome-wide analysis of the gene expression profile of strain ST7 using the RNA-seq method revealed that 2,580 genes were differently expressed under Mn(II) exposure, and there were more downregulated genes (n = 2,021) than upregulated genes (n = 559) induced by Mn stress. KAAS analysis indicated that these differently expressed genes were mainly enriched in material metabolisms, cellular processes, organism systems, and genetic and environmental information processing pathways. A total of twenty-six genes from the transcriptome of strain ST7 were involved in lignocellulosic degradation. Furthermore, after 15 genes were knocked out by homologous recombination technology, it was observed that the transporters, multicopper oxidase, and proteins involved in sporulation and flagellogenesis contributed to the removal of Mn(II) in strain ST7. In summary, B. safensis ST7 adapted to Mn exposure by changing its metabolism, upregulating cation transporters, inhibiting sporulation and flagellogenesis, and activating an alternative stress-related sigB pathway. This bacterial strain could potentially be used to restore soil polluted by multiple heavy metals and is a candidate to support the consolidated bioprocessing community.
