GC-MS hydrocarbon degradation profile data of Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis SI8, a bacterium capable of degrading aromatics at low temperatures.

ABSTRACT: The ability of the psychrotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis SI8 to grow and degrade aromatic hydrocarbons efficiently at low temperature is shown in this study. The robust growth of P. frederiksbergensis SI8 was demonstrated in jet fuel and an aromatic blend. The bacterium showed 2.5 to 3-fold faster growth in the aromatic blend than in jet fuel. The hydrocarbons degradation profile of P. frederiksbergensis SI8 at ambient temperature (i.e., 28?°C) and low temperature (i.e., 4?°C) was characterized by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. GC-MS data demonstrated that P. frederiksbergensis SI8 is a novel psychrotrophic bacterium with the ability to degrade aromatic hydrocarbons at temperatures as low as 4?°C. Specifically, P. frederiksbergensis SI8 consumed toluene, ethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene and methyl ethyl benzene efficiently. The data presented here serves to characterize the hydrocarbon degradation profile of P. frederiksbergensis SI8 and corroborates the capacity of this bacterium to degrade aromatic hydrocarbons at low temperatures. The raw GC-MS data for the degradation of hydrocarbons by P. frederiksbergensis SI8 grown at 4?°C and 28?°C for 14 days have been deposited in Mendeley Data and can be retrieved from https://dx.doi.org/10.17632/z9292bvdmh.1 and https://dx.doi.org/10.17632/dp3sgwpj23.1. The datasets and raw data presented here were associated with the main research work "Metagenomic characterization reveals complex association of soil hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria" [1].

Project description:Plastic wastes have been recognized as the most common and durable marine contaminants, which are not only found in the shallow water, but also on the sea floor. However, whether deep-sea microorganisms have evolved the capability of degrading plastic remains elusive. In this study, a deep-sea bacterium Bacillus velezensis GUIA was found to be capable of degrading waterborne polyurethane. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the supplement of waterborne polyurethane upregulated the expression of many genes related to spore germination, indicating that the presence of plastic had effects on the growth of strain GUIA. In addition, the supplement of waterborne polyurethane also evidently upregulated the expressions of many genes encoding lipase, protease, and oxidoreductase. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) results showed that potential enzymes responsible for plastic degradation in strain GUIA were identified as oxidoreductase, protease, and lipase, which was consistent with the transcriptomic analysis. In combination of in vitro expression and degradation assays as well as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, we demonstrated that the oxidoreductase Oxr-1 of strain GUIA was the key degradation enzyme toward waterborne polyurethane. Moreover, the oxidoreductase Oxr-1 was also shown to degrade the biodegradable polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) film indicating its wide application potential. IMPORTANCE The widespread and indiscriminate disposal of plastics inevitably leads to environmental pollution. The secondary pollution by current landfill and incineration methods causes serious damage to the atmosphere, land, and rivers. Therefore, microbial degradation is an ideal way to solve plastic pollution. Recently, the marine environment is becoming a hot spot to screen microorganisms possessing potential plastic degradation capabilities. In this study, a deep-sea Bacillus strain was shown to degrade both waterborne polyurethane and biodegradable PBAT film. The FAD-binding oxidoreductase Oxr-1 was demonstrated to be the key enzyme mediating plastic degradation. Our study not only provided a good candidate for developing bio-products toward plastic degradation but also paved a way to investigate the carbon cycle mediated by plastic degradation in deep-sea microorganisms.

Project description:Bacterial endophytes with the capacity to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons and promote plant growth may facilitate phytoremediation for the removal of petroleum hydrocarbons from contaminated soils. A hydrocarbon-degrading, biosurfactant-producing, and plant-growth-promoting endophytic bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa L10, was isolated from the roots of a reed, Phragmites australis, in the Yellow River Delta, Shandong, China. P. aeruginosa L10 efficiently degraded C10-C26n-alkanes from diesel oil, as well as common polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene. In addition, P. aeruginosa L10 could produce biosurfactant, which was confirmed by the oil spreading method, and surface tension determination of inocula. Moreover, P. aeruginosa L10 had plant growth-stimulating attributes, including siderophore and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) release, along with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic (ACC) deaminase activity. To explore the mechanisms underlying the phenotypic traits of endophytic P. aeruginosa L10, we sequenced its complete genome. From the genome, we identified genes related to petroleum hydrocarbon degradation, such as putative genes encoding monooxygenase, dioxygenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and aldehyde dehydrogenase. Genome annotation revealed that P. aeruginosa L10 contained a gene cluster involved in the biosynthesis of rhamnolipids, rhlABRI, which should be responsible for the observed biosurfactant activity. We also identified two clusters of genes involved in the biosynthesis of siderophore (pvcABCD and pchABCDREFG). The genome also harbored tryptophan biosynthetic genes (trpAB, trpDC, trpE, trpF, and trpG) that are responsible for IAA synthesis. Moreover, the genome contained the ACC deaminase gene essential for ACC deaminase activity. This study will facilitate applications of endophytic P. aeruginosa L10 to phytoremediation by advancing the understanding of hydrocarbon degradation, biosurfactant synthesis, and mutualistic interactions between endophytes and host plants.
