A strain, Stenotrophomonas HPC383 is isolated from effluent treatment plant treating wastewater from pesticide industry; degrades various aromatic compounds (cresols, phenol, catechol, 4methyl-catechol and hydroquinone) and crude oil, as determined through HPLC and GC analysis. Culture HPC383 could degrade (%) various compounds (1 mM) from a mixture: phenol - 99, p-cresol - 100, 4-methylcatechol - 96 and hydroquinone - 43 within 48 h of incubation, whereas it took 7 days to degrade 94% of 0.5% crude oil. Gene locus dmpN, to identify phenol degrading capacity was determined by PCR followed by southern analysis. The sequenced DNA fragment exhibited 99% sequence similarity to phenol hydroxylase gene from Arthrobacter sp. W1 (FJ610336). Amino acid sequence analysis of phenol hydroxylase reveals it to belong to high-Ks (affinity constant) group. Application of HPC383 in bioremediation of aquatic and terrestrial sites contaminated with petrochemical has been suggested.
从处理农药工业废水的污水处理厂中分离出一株 Stenotrophomonas HPC383 菌株,该菌株通过 HPLC 和 GC 分析可降解各种芳香族化合物(甲酚、苯酚、儿茶酚、4-甲基儿茶酚和对苯二酚)和原油。在 48 小时的孵育期内,HPC383 可以降解(%)混合物中的各种化合物(1mM):苯酚 - 99,对甲酚 - 100,4-甲基儿茶酚 - 96 和对苯二酚 - 43,而降解 0.5% 原油的 94%则需要 7 天时间。通过 PCR 随后进行 Southern 分析确定了识别苯酚降解能力的基因座 dmpN。测序的 DNA 片段与 Arthrobacter sp. W1(FJ610336)中的苯酚羟化酶基因显示出 99%的序列相似性。苯酚羟化酶的氨基酸序列分析表明它属于高-Ks(亲和力常数)组。建议将 HPC383 应用于受石化污染的水和陆地环境的生物修复。
