We show that the charge, structure, and surface activity of these surfactants greatly impact the growth of A. borkumensis. Is Alcanivorax borkumensis harmful to humans? To determine the elemental concentration of carbon and nitrogen, the sample was first dried at 601C for 8 h and placed into a glass vial. and transmitted securely. Homozygous gene disruption mutants generated by homologous recombination via a double crossover event in A. borkumensis were obtained by employing a conjugative biparental filter-mating technique. these concentrations were chosen depending on soil characterization and PAHs, BTEX and C10-C50 content. This unspecific acyltransferase simultaneously synthesizes WEs and TAGs by utilizing fatty acid coenzyme A thioesters (acyl-CoA) in addition to long-chain fatty alcohols and diacylglycerols (DAGs), respectively, as substrates. RT-PCR was performed using the QIAGEN OneStep RT-PCR kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) according to the instructions provided, using the oligonucleotides atfA1_int1 and atfA1_int2 for analysis of atfA1, atfA2_int1 and atfA2_int2 for analysis of atfA2, aceA_int1 and aceA_int2 for analysis of aceA, or Abo_2743_int1 and Abo_2743_int2 for analysis of Abo_2743 (Table (Table2),2), and employing 0.5 ng RNA as template. The intracellular enzyme was diluted into phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 8), alkane substrate (0.5-1 mM), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; 1%, vol/vol). Alcanivorax borkumensis is a rod-shaped bacteria that relies on oil to provide it with energy. La gestion des Curr. However, WEs were synthesized together with larger amounts of TAGs when hexadecane was used as the substrate. Disclaimer: This dissertation has been written by a student and is not an example of our professional work, which you can see examples of here. Some species, such as Alcanivorax borkumensis, produce surfactants that solubilize the oil, while other bacteria degrade the oil into carbon dioxide. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. In general, there are four methods of cleaning up an oil spill. The higher removal percentage of contaminated soil was observed after 7 days of culture with 64.23%, 79.59% and 88.52% of degradation calculated with an initial concentration of contaminated soil of 2000 mg/L, 4000 mg/L and 6000 mg/L of soil, respectively. The alcohol is oxidized by an alcohol dehydrogenase to yield an aldehyde (9). Alcanivorax bacteria are present in non-polluted seawater in low numbers; however, the number of Alcanivorax can increase as a result of an oil spill, and they are believed to play an important role in the natural bioremediation of oil spills worldwide (Golyshin et al., 2003; Hara et al., 2003; Naether et al., 2013; W. Wang et al., 2010; Yakimov et al., 2007; Bookstaver et al., 2015). The A. borkumensis genome comprises two differentially expressed putative PHA synthase genes (phaC1 and phaC2), which is a hint of the presence of PHAs in this bacterium (29). It is classified as a -proteobacterium based on 16S rRNA sequencing (1). Morn, A.C., Olivera, N., Commendatore, M., Esteves, J.L., Sieriz, F., 2000. (2001), reported the degradation of medium sized hydrocarbons (> C12) contained in the diesel, together with the short-chain compounds. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Interestingly, atfA1 is situated in close proximity to the origin of replication of the chromosome, probably resulting in a high gene dosage. (Fig.4).4). Before Database was subjected to an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the results which have P<0.05 were considered as significant. 2001. Substances were identified by comparison of their retention times with those of authentic standard fatty acid methyl esters. Institut fr Molekulare Mikrobiologie und Biotechnologie. SM1 contained (per liter of distilled water): 23 g NaC1, 0.75 g KCl, 1.47 g CaCl2 . (Fig.1C).1C). Thus, toluene had been claimed as the most easily biodegradable among the six compounds of BTEX. Several species of hydrocarbon-eating bacteria, like Alcanivorax borkumensis, feasted on the spilled oil, assisting with the disaster clean-up efforts. The donor and recipient cells were mixed at a ratio of 1:4 (vol/vol), and 200 l of this cell mixture was spotted on Millipore nitrocellulose membrane filters (diameter, 45 mm; pore size, 0.45 m) and placed on cLB mating agar plates. 3.2 Biodegradation kinetics of contaminated soil. Public Health Assoc. An official website of the United States government. Studies on biodegradation of used engine oil by consortium cultures. In particular, WEs and TAGs produced during cultivation on hexadecane almost exclusively contained saturated fatty acids. The soil comprised 59% of 1 mm sized particles, 38% of particles with a size range between 250 m and 500 m and 3% of very fine particles with a size less than 250 m. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces. The inoculum and hydrocarbons concentration have a remarkable effect on the biodegradation with the crude enzymes. doi: 10.1128/aem.01126-22. Parales, R.E., Harwood, C.S., 2002. Camp. Bioremediation- Alcanivorax Borkumensis Dis 2011 We delved into major oil spills accidents such as the Exon Valdez incident, and investigated its consequence on the aquatic environment. How does bioremediation of spilled oil work? Am. Bioremediation for degradation of hydrocarbons is a widely used alternative for the recovery of contaminated sites. The resulting PCR products were cloned as HindIII-XhoI fragments into the expression vector pET23a colinear to the T7 promoter, yielding pET23a::atfA1 or pET23a::atfA2, respectively, and were then transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). Members of the eukaryotic DGAT1 and -2 protein families, which exhibit no sequence homology to each other, catalyze the acylation of DAG using acyl-CoA as the substrate in a manner similar to that of the bacterial WS/DGAT (6, 7). Taken together, the selected strain is a potential candidate for the degradation of motor oil (known to be generally more resistant to degradation) in minimal time. Although so far assumed to be a characteristic restricted to gram-positive actinomycetes, substantial accumulation of TAGs corresponding to a fatty acid content of more than 23% of the cellular dry weight is the first characteristic of large-scale de novo TAG biosynthesis in a gram-negative bacterium. The operon includes alkH - an aldehyde dehydrogenase, alkJ - an alcohol dehydrogenase and alkG a rubredoxin reductase, which reduces the electron shuttling protein rubredoxin (9,11). 2004. Nutrient starvation is assumed to be an environmental stress factor frequently challenging marine hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria in their natural habitat. doi:10.1128/AEM.00694-13. This has been shown to increase the rate of biodegradation two to three fold (7). Cells were cultivated in ONR7a medium containing 1% (wt/vol) sodium pyruvate for 72 h (Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus and Alcanivorax jadensis T9) or 96 h (Thalassolituus oleivorans) and analyzed by TLC. In eukaryotes, three different routes for TAG formation, all using DAG as the substrate, are known. Accumulation of storage lipids serving as endogenous carbon sources during starvation periods might thus be one strategy to cope with this and to prolong viability under such unfavorable conditions. . Trace amounts of residual TAGs in a WS/DGAT knockout mutant of A. baylyi have previously provided hints that such an alternative pathway may exist (23).

Accumulation of storage lipids, serving as endogenous carbon and energy sources during starvation periods, might be a potential adaptation mechanism for coping with nutrient limitation, which is a frequent stress factor challenging those bacteria in their natural marine habitats. Consequently, it had an effect on the degradation efficiency of hexadecane. In fact, the degradation percentage increased almost twice (from 37.700.72 to 73.753.11) when using 5000 mg/L of hexadecane and from 32.401.46 to 38.502.13 when using 6000 mg/L of hexadecane and also almost two time degradation increase was observed when using 7000 mg/L of hexadecane (from 28.310.37 to 59.740.62), after 7 days of degradation with enzymes produced by the inoculated A. borkumensis (Fig. 3. 2002. In this issue, Schneiker et al. Front Microbiol. Das, N., Chandran, P., 2010. Cells were cultivated for 72 h in ONR7a medium containing 1% (wt/vol) sodium pyruvate (A to F) or 0.5% (vol/vol) hexadecane (G to L).

Oil pollution events are therefore serious threats to sensitive marine ecosystems and result in severe ecological perturbations. Temperature limits the window of time during which fertilizer application can be considered a viable option (18). All chemical reagents of highest purity, such as hexadecane, BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylene, Xylene), NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) and DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide) among others, were procured from Sigma-Aldrich, Fisher scientific or VWR (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada). Alcanivorax borkumensis is present in non-polluted seawater in low numbers; however, their number can increase as a result of an oil spill, and they are believed to play an important role in the natural bioremediation of oil spills worldwide [ [13], [14], [15] ]. 2004 Jun;15(3):205-14. doi: 10.1016/j.copbio.2004.04.002. 188(11): 3762-3773. Not very much is known about the exact method used by Alcanivorax to biodegrade oil, but some Fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed by GC using an Agilent 6850 GC (Agilent Technologies, Waldbronn, Germany) equipped with a BP21 capillary column (50 by 0.22 mm; film thickness, 250 nm; SGE, Darmstadt, Germany) and a flame ionization detector (Agilent Technologies, Waldbronn, Germany).

Potential role of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) oxidation by fungal laccase in the remediation of an aged contaminated soil. Herein, the higher content of petroleum hydrocarbons C10-C50 (6020 mg kg-1) activated the capacity of biodegradation in the selected microorganism. Process Biochem. The views or opinions expressed in this article are those of the author. The addition of biosurfactant producing bacteria is being explored as a way to increase the rate of crude oil bioremediation by prolonging exponential growth, resulting in higher density A. borkumensis populations and more rapid alkane degradation (18). As for organic liquids, they are directly diluted in hexane. Epub 2020 Aug 2. Oleyl oleate and triolein were used as reference substances for WEs and TAGs, respectively. Phylogenetic diversity of the 16S rRNA gene asso-ciated with the domain bacteria was examined at the level of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) using the rarefaction analysis from a newly identified shallow water hydrothermal vent, Espalamaca in the 3K and L).

Alcanivorax borkumensis (A. borkumensis) is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped hydrocarbonoclastic ("oil-degrading") bacterium. 5, 746753. 2003. In the case of Alcanivorax borkumensis, the reaction can erupt on the skin like MRSA infections. Natural Dispersal. To make things a little scarier, some of the oil-eating bacteria have been genetically modified, or otherwise bioengineered, to better eat the oil -- including Alcanivorax borkumensis and some of the Pseudomonas. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the A. borkumensis SK2 (A to D and G to J) and A. borkumensis atfA1KmatfA2Sm (E, F, K, and L) are shown. are present only in low abundance in pristine waters, but they multiply and grow rapidly in oil-polluted waters, where they can constitute 80 to 90% of the microbial community (19, 25, 36). The neutral lipids, mainly consisting of TAGs, amounted to a corresponding cellular fatty acid content of 23.2% of the CDW during growth on pyruvate, whereas the amounts of accumulated lipids were smaller when the cells were cultivated with hexadecane (total fatty acid content, 9.2% of CDW) (Table (Table6)6) . St, PstI-digested DNA. Dechloromonas aromatica. Novel glycine containing glucolipids from the alkane using bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis. Fortunately, a substantial proportion of the petroleum oil entering marine habitats is degraded by indigenous microorganisms. Bioengineering (Basel). Most strikingly, only AtfA1 possessed significant DGAT activity, whereas AtfA2 was virtually completely inactive with both DAGs used as substrates (Table (Table5).5). Water-insoluble substrates and bovine serum albumin were applied as double-concentrated stock solutions emulsified by ultrasonification. However, it has to be emphasized that such a potential DGAT isoenzyme might nevertheless be present but only poorly active under the applied in vitro assay conditions due to differing requirements (pH, buffer, salts). Bioremediation for degradation of hydrocarbons is a widely used alternative for the recovery of contaminated sites. In CHN mode, samples are combusted in the presence of pure O2 and the combustion gases are measured to determine initial elemental concentrations of C, H and N. Oil content was determined by adding n-hexane to the soil (1:1 w/v) and then centrifuging at 10,000 x g for 30 minutes to recover the pellet. 104, 142148. (Fig.2C2C). Biol.

In utter contrast, disruption of atfA2 did not seem to have any effect on TAG or WE accumulation under either culture condition as revealed by TLC. Alcanivorax borkumensis is a marine bacteria that can absorb and digest linear and branched alkanes that are found in crude oil and its products (Rojo, 2009). Cells of A. borkumensis strains were cultivated with pyruvate as described above to allow for accumulation of storage lipids. We built an experimental platform to quantitatively measure the transient growth of Alcanivorax borkumensis at the interface of oil and water. Remarkably, even in the atfA1KmatfA2Sm double knockout mutant, reduced but still substantial amounts of TAGs were present in cells cultivated on either substrate (Fig. Oven temperature was programmed from 60 C 260 C at a rate of 4 C/min. DOI: 10.1016/j.nbt.2013.06.005.

Petroleum bioremediation potential is related to the chemical composition of the polluting petroleum, . The use of 10% (v/v) of inoculum concentration increased the enzyme activity and thus biodegradation efficiency of hexadecane, BTEX, motor oil and contaminated soil. Seeking a solution, researchers are now studying Alcanivorax borkumensis, a bacterium that feeds on hydrocarbons. Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus (72 h at 30C), Alcanivorax jadensis T9 (72 h at 30C), and Thalassolituus oleivorans (96 h at room temperature) were grown aerobically in ONR7a medium containing 1% (wt/vol) sodium pyruvate. Environ. Aerobic bacterial strain, Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2 (DSM 11573) which has the capability to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons was used in all the experiments in this study. The mechanism of branched alkane degradation in A. borkumensis is not fully understood but it is suspected to involve simultaneous and and -oxidation (16). Biochim. J. These results are advantageous compared to similar strains that presented higher degradation capacities. However, they were only of rather low abundance and were not further analyzed in the present study (Fig. Setti et al., (1993) (Setti et al., 1993) reported 86.4% of hexadecane mineralization at an initial concentration of 12 g/L by Pseudomonas sp. The identification of two gene products homologous to the WS/DGAT from A. baylyi strain ADP1 indicated the potential capability of A. borkumensis to synthesize and accumulate TAGs and/or WEs. Food Sci. Imaging was performed with an H-500 transmission electron microscope (TEM; Hitachi, Japan) in the bright-field mode at an acceleration voltage of 75 kV at room temperature. The composition of motor oil in this study comprised: 69.8 mg/L of C10-C50, 1.83 mg/L of naphthalene, 44 mg/L of benzene, 30 mg/L of toluene, 44 mg/L of ethyl-benzene and 84 mg/L of xylene. Alcanivorax borkumensis; Alkane hydroxylase; Bioreactor; Lipase; Scale-up. This long-term persistence capability, putatively involving the stringent response (8), might be a key factor for the successful global distribution of A. borkumensis and other hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria and for their adaptability to an ever-changing environment. Such lipophilic dyes are not specific and cannot differentiate between PHAs, TAGs, WEs, and other neutral lipids, such as hydrocarbon inclusions. Solid samples are first dried with acetone, and then extracted with hexane with the aid of an extraction system mixer painting. 2018 Jun;112:230-240. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2018.01.177. and other hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria exhibit a unique oligotrophic physiology. (Fig.2B).2B). Oil-eating bacteria produce bio-films. Acyl acceptor specificities of AtfA1 and AtfA2 from A. borkumensis SK2 for different alcohol substratesa, Acyl acceptor specificities of AtfA1 and AtfA2 from A. borkumensis SK2 for glycerol and acylglycerolsa. Enzymes produced from these microorganisms play an important role in the microbial degradation of oil, chlorinated hydrocarbons, fuel additives, and many other compounds (Das and Chandran, 2010; Van Beilen and Funhoff, 2007). Survival of the cells under these conditions was then monitored by measuring remaining viable cell counts (CFU) over the time course of carbon starvation (Fig. Thus, sequence comparison of AtfA1 and AtfA2 from A. borkumensis and WS/DGAT from A. baylyi shows that amino acid residues conserved in AtfA1 and WS/DGAT, but not AtfA2, might specify those domains that are important for DGAT activity, whereas amino acids conserved among all three enzymes indicate regions that are probably necessary for general acyltransferase catalytic activity (Fig. Microbiol. One unit of enzyme activity was defined as the amount of enzyme which liberated 1 mol of fatty acids per minute. oil), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heterocyclic compounds (such as pyridine or quinoline . Although alkanes constitute a large portion of crude oil, after A. borkumensis bioremediation, non-degraded compounds will persist. 18, 257266. If appropriate, antibiotics were added at the following concentrations: ampicillin (Ap), 75 mg liter1; kanamycin (Km), 50 mg liter1; streptomycin (Sm), 100 mg liter1; chloramphenicol (Cm), 34 mg liter1; nalidixic acid, 10.0 mg liter1; tetracycline, 12.5 mg liter1.
