Screening and genome-wide analysis of lignocellulose-degrading bacteria from humic soil.

ABSTRACT: Crop straw contains huge amounts of exploitable energy, and efficient biomass degradation measures have attracted worldwide attention. Mining strains with high yields of cellulose-degrading enzymes is of great significance for developing clean energy and industrial production of related enzymes. In this study, we reported a high-quality genome sequence of Bacillus velezensis SSF6 strain using high-throughput sequencing technology (Illumina PE150 and PacBio) and assessed its lignocellulose degradation potential. The results demonstrated that the genome of B. velezensis SSF6 was 3.89 Mb and contained 4,015 genes, of which 2,972, 3,831 and 158 genes were annotated in the COGs (Clusters of Orthologous Groups), KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) and CAZyme (Carbohydrate-Active enZymes) databases, respectively, and contained a large number of genes related to carbohydrate metabolism. Furthermore, B. velezensis SSF6 has a high cellulose degradation capacity, with a filter paper assay (FPA) and an exoglucanase activity of 64.48 ± 0.28 and 78.59 ± 0.42 U/mL, respectively. Comparative genomic analysis depicted that B. velezensis SSF6 was richer in carbohydrate hydrolase gene. In conclusion, the cellulose-degrading ability of B. velezensis SSF6 was revealed by genome sequencing and the determination of cellulase activity, which laid a foundation for further cellulose degradation and bioconversion.

Project description:Two bacterial strains, denoted so4 and w15, isolated from wheat straw (WS)-degrading microbial consortia, were found to grow synergistically in media containing WS as the single carbon and energy source. They were identified as Citrobacter freundii so4 and Sphingobacterium multivorum w15 based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing and comparison to the respective C. freundii and S. multivorum type strains. In order to identify the mechanisms driving the synergistic interactions, we analyzed the draft genomes of the two strains and further characterized their metabolic potential. The latter analyses revealed that the strains had largely complementary substrate utilization patterns, with only 22 out of 190 compounds shared. The analyses further indicated C. freundii so4 to primarily consume amino acids and simple sugars, with laminarin as a key exception. In contrast, S. multivorum w15 showed ample capacity to transform complex polysaccharides, including intermediates of starch degradation. Sequence analyses revealed C. freundii so4 to have a genome of 4,883,214 bp, with a G + C content of 52.5%, 4,554 protein-encoding genes and 86 RNA genes. S. multivorum w15 has a genome of 6,678,278 bp, with a G + C content of 39.7%, 5,999 protein-encoding genes and 76 RNA genes. Genes for motility apparatuses (flagella, chemotaxis) were present in the genome of C. freundii so4, but absent from that of S. multivorum w15. In the genome of S. multivorum w15, 348 genes had regions matching CAZy family enzymes and/or carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), with 193 glycosyl hydrolase (GH) and 50 CBM domains. Remarkably, 22 domains matched enzymes of glycoside hydrolase family GH43, suggesting a strong investment in the degradation of arabinoxylan. In contrast, 130 CAZy family genes were found in C. freundii so4, with 61 GH and 12 CBM domains identified. Collectively, our results, based on both metabolic potential and genome analyses, revealed the two strains to harbor complementary catabolic armories, with S. multivorum w15 primarily attacking the WS hemicellulose and C. freundii so4 the cellobiose derived from cellulose, next to emerging oligo- or monosaccharides. Finally, C. freundii so4 may secrete secondary metabolites that S. multivorum w15 can consume, and detoxify the system by reducing the levels of (toxic) by-products.

Project description:Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) with teratogenicity, carcinogenesis, and mutagenesis, is a ubiquitous endocrine disruptor in the environment. The widespread usage of plastic mulch has resulted in a severe DBP pollution problem in agricultural soil. One of the most vital ways to mitigate the DBP pollution problem is to use DBP degrading bacteria to reduce the concentration of DBP in agricultural soil. DBP degrading bacteria studied in previous studies mainly come from sewage treatment plants, rivers, landfills, bioreactors, and other environmental media. At the same time, there was relatively little research on DBP degrading bacteria in agricultural soil. Therefore, using the pure culture approach, the candidate DBP degrading strains were isolated and screened from vegetable plots contaminated with plastic mulch in Dayi County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China. The taxonomy of the strains was determined using the 16 sedimentation ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid (16S rDNA) molecular technique. Furthermore, ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to assess the degrading capability of strains. The findings showed that a total of twenty-six DBP degrading strains were screened from vegetable plots contaminated with plastic mulch in Dayi County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China, and these strains belonged to two phyla: Proteobacteria and Bacillota, eight families, including Pseudomonas, Enterobacteriaceae, and Bacillaceae, as well as ten genera, such as Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, and Bacillus. One of them, the strain SWDB-7 was a potentially new species in the Enterobacter genus. The most prominent genus of the isolated strains was Enterobacter. There were significant variations in the degradation capability of different obtained DBP degrading strains. and their degradation efficiency was 14.12%-91.86%. With a total DBP removal rate of 91.86%, strain SWDB-15 had the most effective degrading capability among them. To sum up, the DBP degrading strains in vegetable plots contaminated with plastic mulch in Dayi County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China are rich in diversity and capable of breaking down DBP.

Project description:The mechanisms by which specific anaerobic microorganisms remain firmly attached to lignocellulosic material, allowing them to efficiently decompose organic matter, have yet to be elucidated. To circumvent this issue, microbiomes collected from anaerobic digesters treating pig manure and meadow grass were fractionated to separate the planktonic microbes from those adhered to lignocellulosic substrate. Assembly of shotgun reads, followed by a binning process, recovered 151 population genomes, 80 out of which were completely new and were not previously deposited in any database. Genome coverage allowed the identification of microbial spatial distribution in the engineered ecosystem. Moreover, a composite bioinformatic analysis using multiple databases for functional annotation revealed that uncultured members of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes follow diverse metabolic strategies for polysaccharide degradation. The structure of cellulosome in Firmicutes species can differ depending on the number and functional roles of carbohydrate-binding modules. In contrast, members of the Bacteroidetes are able to adhere to and degrade lignocellulose due to the presence of multiple carbohydrate-binding family 6 modules in beta-xylosidase and endoglucanase proteins or S-layer homology modules in unknown proteins. This study combines the concept of variability in spatial distribution with genome-centric metagenomics, allowing a functional and taxonomical exploration of the biogas microbiome.IMPORTANCE This work contributes new knowledge about lignocellulose degradation in engineered ecosystems. Specifically, the combination of the spatial distribution of uncultured microbes with genome-centric metagenomics provides novel insights into the metabolic properties of planktonic and firmly attached to plant biomass bacteria. Moreover, the knowledge obtained in this study enabled us to understand the diverse metabolic strategies for polysaccharide degradation in different species of Bacteroidetes and Clostridiales Even though structural elements of cellulosome were restricted to Clostridiales species, our study identified a putative mechanism in Bacteroidetes species for biomass decomposition, which is based on a gene cluster responsible for cellulose degradation, disaccharide cleavage to glucose, and transport to cytoplasm.
