Isolation of a diazinon-degrading strain Sphingobium sp. DI-6 and its novel biodegradation pathway.

ABSTRACT: Diazinon is one of the most widely used organophosphate insecticides, one that is frequently detected in the environment. In this study, a diazinon-degrading bacterium, DI-6, previously isolated from diazinon-contaminated soil in China has been subsequently identified as Sphingobium sp. on the basis of its physiological and biochemical characteristics, as well as by virtue of a comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. This strain is capable of using diazinon as its sole carbon source for growth and was able to degrade 91.8% of 100 mg L^-1 diazinon over a 60-h interval. During the degradation of diazinon, the following seven metabolites were captured and identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis: diazoxon, diazinon aldehyde, isopropenyl derivative of diazinon, hydroxyethyl derivative of diazinon, diazinon methyl ketone, O-[2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-6-methylpyrimidin-4-yl] O-methyl O-hydrogen phosphorothioate, and O-(6-methyl pyrimidin-4-yl) O,O-dihydrogen phosphorothioate. Based on these metabolites, a novel microbial biodegradation pathway of diazinon by Sphingobium sp. DI-6 is proposed. This research provides potentially useful information for the application of the DI-6 strain in bioremediation of diazinon-contaminated environments.

Project description:Many plants produce allelopathic chemicals, such as stilbenes, to inhibit pathogenic fungi. The degradation of allelopathic compounds by bacteria associated with the plants would limit their effectiveness, but little is known about the extent of biodegradation or the bacteria involved. Screening of tissues and rhizosphere of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) plants revealed substantial enrichment of bacteria able to grow on resveratrol and pterostilbene, the most common stilbenes produced by the plants. Investigation of the catabolic pathway in Sphingobium sp. strain JS1018, isolated from the rhizosphere, indicated that the initial cleavage of pterostilbene was catalyzed by a carotenoid cleavage oxygenase (CCO), which led to the transient accumulation of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde was subsequently used for the growth of the isolate, while 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde was further converted to a dead-end metabolite with a molecular weight of 414 (C24H31O6). The gene that encodes the initial oxygenase was identified in the genome of strain JS1018, and its function was confirmed by heterologous expression in Escherichia coli This study reveals the biodegradation pathway of pterostilbene by plant-associated bacteria. The prevalence of such bacteria in the rhizosphere and plant tissues suggests a potential role of bacterial interference in plant allelopathy.IMPORTANCE Pterostilbene, an analog of resveratrol, is a stilbene allelochemical produced by plants to inhibit microbial infection. As a potent antioxidant, pterostilbene acts more effectively than resveratrol as an antifungal agent. Bacterial degradation of this plant natural product would affect the allelopathic efficacy and fate of pterostilbene and thus its ecological role. This study explores the isolation and abundance of bacteria that degrade resveratrol and pterostilbene in peanut tissues and rhizosphere, the catabolic pathway for pterostilbene, and the molecular basis for the initial cleavage of pterostilbene. If plant allelopathy is an important process in agriculture and management of invasive plants, the ecological role of bacteria that degrade the allelopathic chemicals must be equally important.
