Study of the Degradation Activity and the Strategies to Promote the Bioavailability of Phenanthrene by <i>Sphingomonas paucimobilis</i> Strain 20006FA

The present study describes the phenanthrene-degrading activity of <i>Sphingomonas paucimobilis</i> 20006FA and its ability to promote the bioavailability of phenanthrene. <i>S. paucimobilis</i> 20006FA was isolated from a phenanthrene-contaminated soil microcosm. The strain...

description The present study describes the phenanthrene-degrading activity of <i>Sphingomonas paucimobilis</i> 20006FA and its ability to promote the bioavailability of phenanthrene. <i>S. paucimobilis</i> 20006FA was isolated from a phenanthrene-contaminated soil microcosm. The strain was able to grow in liquid mineral medium saturated with phenanthrene as the sole carbon source, showing high phenanthrene elimination (52.9% of the supplied phenanthrene within 20 days). The accumulation of 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and salicylic acid as major phenanthrene metabolites and the capacity of the strain to grow with sodium salicylate as the sole source of carbon and energy indicated that the <i>S. paucimobilis</i> 20006FA possesses a complete phenanthrene degradation pathway. However, under the studied conditions, the strain was able to mineralize only the 10% of the consumed phenanthrene. Investigations on the cell ability to promote bioavailability of phenanthrene showed that the <i>S. paucimobilis</i> strain 20006FA exhibited low cell hydrophobicity (0.13), a pronounced chemotaxis toward phenanthrene, and it was able to reduce the surface tension of mineral liquid medium supplemented with phenanthrene as sole carbon source. Scanning electron micrographs revealed that: (1) in suspension cultures, cells formed flocks and showed small vesicles on the cell surface and (2) cells were also able to adhere to phenanthrene crystals and to produce biofilms. Clearly, the strain seems to exhibit two different mechanisms to enhance phenanthrene bioavailability: biosurfactant production and adhesion to the phenanthrene crystals.
