Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification conducted by Halomonas venusta MA-ZP17-13 under low temperature conditions

Nitrification is a key step in the global nitrogen cycle.Compared with autotrophic nitrification,heterotrophic nitrification remains poorly understood.In this study,Halomonas venusta MA-ZP17-13,isolated from seawater in shrimp aquaculture (Penaeus vannamei),could simultaneously undertake nitrification and denitrification.With the initial ammonium concentration at 100 mg/L,the maximum ammonium-nitrogen removal rate reached98.7%under the optimal conditions including C/N concentration ratio at 5.95,p H at 8.93,and Na Cl at 2.33%.The corresponding average removal rate was 1.37 mg/(L·h)(according to nitrogen) in 3 d at 11.2°C.By whole genome sequencing and analysis,nitrification-and denitrification-related genes were identified,including ammonia monooxygenase,nitrate reductase,nitrite reductase,nitric oxide dioxygenase and nitric oxide synthase;while no gene encoding hydroxylamine oxidase was identified,it implied the existence of a novel nitrification pathway from hydroxylamine to nitrate.These results indicate heterotrophic bacterium H.venusta MA-ZP17-13 can undertake simultaneous nitrification and denitrification at low temperature and has potential forNH_4~+-N/NH3-N removal in marine aquaculture systems.     

深海来源芳烃类降解菌筛选与盐单胞菌芘降解能力测定

海洋来源的菌株在高盐污水类修复处理中有重要的应用前景,而烃类物质是污水中的重要组成部分,其中含有多个苯环的芳香烃族化合物,对人类和环境具有较大的毒性,而目前关于多环芳烃(PAHs)厌氧代谢的相关报道相对较少。本研究以PAHs(萘、菲和芘等)为唯一碳源和能源,通过厌氧富集对太平洋深海沉积物中的PAHs降解菌展开研究。富集物细菌菌群分析结果表明,盐单胞菌属(Halomonas)、海旋菌属(Thalassospira)、海杆菌属(Marinobacter)、海洋杆菌属(Oceanobacter)和食烷菌属(Alcanivorax)等是主要的功能类群;其中盐单胞菌属是最主要的功能类群。通过筛选分离获得一高效烃降解盐单胞菌株,鉴定并命名为泰坦尼克盐单胞菌(Halomonas titanicae) PA16-9,该菌与模式菌株Halomonas titanicae BH1^T的16S rRNA相似性为99.52%。基于16S rRNA基因序列比对搜寻NCBI数据库,发现Halomonas titanicae广泛存在于废水、活性污泥、油田、湿地等有机质复杂区域,生态位分布极广,可...     

Cloning and nucleotide sequence of D-hydantoinase gene of marine polyphosphate-accumulating bacterium, Halomonas sp. YSR-3

Hydantoinase is involved in the production of optically pure amino acids from racemic 5-mono-substituted hydantoins. We measured the D-hydantoinase activity in marine Halomonas sp. YSR-3 and amplified the D-hydantoinase gene by PCR. The gene was inserted into vector pGM-T and transformed into E. coli TOP10. The positive transformants with the D-hydantoinase gene were sequenced. The sequenced fragment comprises 1 510 base pairs. The D-hydantoinase gene from YSR-3 is 77% similar to that from Pseudomonas entomophila L4 by searching against the NCBI databse. The protein product of the YSR-3 D-hydantoinase gene is 75%, 73%, and 70% similar to those from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5, Marinomonas sp. MED121, and Burkholderia vietnamiensis G4, respectively. The difference of the D-hydantoinase gene between marine Halomonas sp. YSR-3 and other terrestrial organisms is distinct.     

Inhibitory activity of an extract from a marine bacterium Halomonas sp. HSB07 against the red-tide microalga Gymnodinium sp. （Pyrrophyta）

In recent years, red tides occurred frequently in coastal areas worldwide. Various methods based on the use of clay, copper sulfate, and bacteria have been successful in controlling red tides to some extent. As a new defensive agent, marine microorganisms are important sources of compounds with potent inhibitory bioactivities against red-tide microalgae, such as Gymnodinium sp. （Pyrrophyta）. In this study, we isolated a marine bacterium, HSB07, from seawater collected from Hongsha Bay, Sanya, South China Sea. Based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence and biochemical characteristics, the isolated strain HSB07 was identified as a member of the genus Halomonas. A crude ethyl acetate extract of strain HSB07 showed moderate inhibition activity against Gymnodinium sp. in a bioactive prescreening experiment. The extract was further separated into fractions A, B, and C by silica gel column chromatography. Fractions B and C showed strong inhibition activities against Gymnodinium. This is the first report of inhibitory activity of secondary metabolites of a Halomonas bacterium against a red-tide-causing microalga.

嗜碱盐单胞菌X3中异化型硝酸盐还原酶编码基因簇的功能验证及蛋白结构预测

细菌的氮代谢推动环境的氮循环,硝酸盐还原反应是氮代谢途径中重要步骤之一。本文运用酶活测定、qRTPCR和生物信息学软件分析的方法,对嗜碱盐单胞菌(Halomonas alkaliphila)X3中编码细菌异化型硝酸盐还原酶(Dissimilatory nitrate reductase,Nar)不同亚基的基因簇narGYJV进行了功能验证、蛋白结构预测和系统发育分析。研究表明,X3菌株中存在narGYJV基因簇并具有表达活性,测得Nar的酶活为每克蛋白21.415U;预测到的narGYJV编码蛋白功能区域中1～1246氨基酸属于NarG超家族,编码Nar的α亚基;1261～1752氨基酸属于DMSOR-beta-like超家族,编码Nar的β亚基;2061～2279氨基酸编码γ亚基,1802～2018氨基酸编码δ亚基;Nar的二级结构中无规卷曲占37.59%,α螺旋占34.43%,延伸链占18.33%;NarG、NarY和NarV的3D结构与PDB中大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)的1Q16 3D结构最接近,覆盖率96%～100%。系统发育树显示,菌株X3中NarG与同属菌的遗传距离较近,在不同菌属间虽然功能相似,其同源性较低;NarY与大肠杆菌中的氨基酸序列的同源关系较近,说明异化型硝酸盐还原酶Nar中不同亚基的系统发育地位不同。研究结果表明,Halomonas alkaliphila X3菌株中存在编码Nar的基因簇narGYJV,编码蛋白具有独特的3D结构,不同亚基的系统发育地位不同。研究结果为进一步研究该菌的氮代谢通路选择和调控机制提供了依据。
