Project description:Streptomyces sp. M7 has demonstrated ability to remove lindane from culture media and soils. In this study, we used MS-based label-free quantitative proteomic to understand lindane degradation and its metabolic context in Streptomyces sp. M7. We identified the proteins involved in the up-stream degradation pathway. Our results demonstrated that mineralization of lindane is feasible since proteins from an unusual down-stream degradation pathway were also identified. Degradative steps were supported by an active catabolism that supplied energy and reducing equivalents in the form of NADPH. This is the first study in which degradation steps of an organochlorine compound and metabolic context are elucidate in a biotechnological genus as Streptomyces. These results serve as basement to study other degradative actinobacteria and to improve the degradation processes of Streptomyces sp. M7.
Project description:This study aimed to investigate the variations in the protein composition of Streptomyces sp. PU10 when cultivated with either Impranil (polyestere-polyurethane) or glucose as the carbon source. We analyzed both the intracellular and extracellular protein fractions to gain insights into the intricate processes involving PU degradation, intermediate metabolic pathways in PU degradation, and the connection between primary and secondary metabolism within Streptomyces sp. PU10.
