Acinetobacter sp. DW-1 immobilized on polyhedron hollow polypropylene balls and analysis of transcriptome and proteome of the bacterium during phenol biodegradation process.

ABSTRACT: Phenol is a hazardous chemical known to be widely distributed in aquatic environments. Biodegradation is an attractive option for removal of phenol from water sources. Acinetobacter sp. DW-1 isolated from drinking water biofilters can use phenol as a sole carbon and energy source. In this study, we found that Immobilized Acinetobacter sp. DW-1cells were effective in biodegradation of phenol. In addition, we performed proteome and transcriptome analysis of Acinetobacter sp. DW-1 during phenol biodegradation. The results showed that Acinetobacter sp. DW-1 degrades phenol mainly by the ortho pathway because of the induction of phenol hydroxylase, catechol-1,2-dioxygenase. Furthermore, some novel candidate proteins (OsmC-like family protein, MetA-pathway of phenol degradation family protein, f
