■ ABSTRACT: Strain ZX02 was isolated from Chinese ginger cultivated soil

23

contaminated with various pesticides, which could utilize 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic

24

acid butyl ester (2,4-D butyl ester) as the sole carbon source. Based on the sequence

25

analysis of 16S rRNA gene as well as the morphological, biochemical and

26

physiological characteristics of strain ZX02, the organism belonged to Gram-negative

27

bacterium and was identified as Acinetobacter sp. ZX02. The strain ZX02 showed a

28

remarkable performance in 2,4-D butyl ester degradation (100% removal in 20 mm; intermediate, zone

196

diameter 13–19 mm; resistant, zone diameter 9–12 mm; and no inhibition.34

197

Plasmid Detection and Curing. Plasmid of strain ZX02 and its derivative

198

bacterium were isolated and detected by using a pLASmix-minipreps kit (Amersham,

199

Uppsala, Sweden) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Electrophoresis in 1%

200

agarose was carried out at 90 V for 0.5 h, and plasmid DNA was visualized by

201

ethidium bromide staining. 9



202

For plasmid curing, strain ZX02 was seeded onto LB broth with ethidium bromide

203

(500 mg/L) and shaken （160 r/min, 40 ℃）for 24h.35 The culture diluted with 0.85%

204

sodium chloride solution and plated onto LB agar. After incubation of 1 day, colonies

205

was subjected to plasmid isolation and visualized in 1% agarose gels. The physical

206

loss of plasmid in the cured derivative was confirmed using agarose gel

207

electrophoresis of the plasmid DNA preparation of respective cultures, as described

208

by Lavanya et al.36 A bacterium with loss of plasmid was selected.

209

■ RESULTS

210

Strain Isolation and Identification. Ten bacterial strains capable of utilizing

211

2,4-D butyl ester as sole source of carbon were isolated after enrichment and

212

purification procedures. Strain ZX02 with good growth and high activity of 2,4-D

213

butyl ester degradation was selected for further study. The morphological features

214

of ZX02 were determined using the scanning electron micrography. Colonies on

215

LB plates grew rapidly with a diameter of 4–6 mm. The milky white colonies were

216

round, edge neat, smooth surface, and opaque. This strain was a nonmotile,

217

Gram-negative, and nonspore-forming bacterium with a morphology columnar

218

(1.5–2.5 μm in length and 0.5–0.75 μm in width). Biochemically, the strain was

219

oxidase negative, gelatinase negative and urease negative, catalase positive and

220

lysine decarboxylase positive. It metabolized glucose oxidatively and reduced

221

nitrate. Strain ZX02 was able to grow utilizing glucose, mannitol, melibiose,

222

sorbitol, amygdalin, and arabinose as a sole carbon source. However, this organism

223

was not able to grow on inositol. Full details of biochemical characteristics of strain 10

Page 11 of 41


224

ZX02 are given in Table 1. The genomic G+C content of strain ZX02 was 52  0.2

225

mol%. The BLAST results showed that the sequence of 1440 bp of the 16S rRNA

226

gene from strain ZX02 exhibited 99% similarity with A. baumannii strain DSM 30007

227

(GenBank accession number NR_117677) which lie in the same clade in the

228

phylogenetic tree (Figure 2). Based on the characteristics described above, the strain

229

ZX02 belongs to the genus Acinetobacter and was designated as Acinetobacter sp.

230

ZX02 (GenBank database accession number KM893861).

231

Bacterial Growth and 2,4-D Butyl Ester Degradation. The time course for

232

bacterial growth and degradation of 2,4-D butyl ester by strain ZX02 in MSM

233

containing 300 mg/L of 2,4-D butyl ester are given in Figure 3. Bacterial growth

234

reached the maximum cell density at 96 h and remained a relatively constant

235

concentration after then. 2,4-D butyl ester was degraded by ZX02, 55% decrease of

236

2,4-D butyl ester in MSM within 48 h. The concentration of 2,4-D butyl ester

237

decreased from 300 mg/L to an undetected level in 96 h. No degradation of 2,4-D

238

butyl ester was observed in uninoculated controls. These results indicated that the

239

concentration of a metabolite increased with the degradation of 2,4-D butyl ester by

240

strain ZX02, and 2,4-D butyl ester was almost completely degraded in 96 h. The strain

241

ZX02 was able to utilize 2,4-D butyl ester as a carbon and energy source (Figure 3).

242

Identification of the Metabolite. An additional peak (retention time, 40.77 min)

243

was detected in the samples taken from 24–168 h on HPLC. However, the

244

intermediate metabolite was not seen in the control samples. HPLC-MS analysis also

245

revealed the presence of one metabolite with 40.77 min of retention time and m/z 11



246

161.2 (100%) of mass spectrum. The metabolite was identified as 2,4-D (Figure 4),

247

compared with the authenticated sample by HPLC-MS. As shown in Figure 3, 2,4-D

248

was observed at 24 h, it reached a peak and remained at a relatively constant

249

concentration after 96 h. However, the organism could not degrade 2,4-D further, it

250

might utilize the degradation product n-butanol as the sole carbon source for growth

251

(Figure 3).

252

Effect of temperature and pH on growth of strain ZX02. Growth was pH and

253

temperature dependent. Strain ZX02 grew between 25 and 35 °C (optimum, 29 °C),

254

but growth was negligible at 25 and 35 °C (Figure 5A). The organism grew

255

between pHs 5.0 and 10.0 (optimum, 7.0), could grow well in 2,4-D butyl ester as a

256

sole carbon source (Figure 5B).

257

Plasmid Detection and Curing. A plasmid of approximately 23 kb in size

258

(Figure 6, lane 2) was detected in ZX02. To determine whether the 2,4-D butyl

259

ester degrading activity was controlled by the plasmid, curing study was conducted

260

by growing ZX02 in LB medium with 500 mg/L ethidium bromide at 37 °C for 48

261

h. The plasmid cured bacterium of ZX02 was selected and designated ZX021,

262

which showed absence of plasmid on agarose gel electrophoresis clearly to confirm

263

plasmid elimination of ZX02 (Figure 6, lane 1). The ability of ZX021 to degrade

264

2,4-D butyl ester was confirmed by investigating the bacterial growth in MSM

265

containing 2,4-D butyl ester at concentration of 300 mg/L (Figure 7). Growth of the

266

cured bacterium was completely inhibited and strain ZX021 was not able to utilize

267

2,4-D butyl ester in MSM. Our finding supports loss of the plasmid as the basis for 12


Page 12 of 41

Page 13 of 41


268

the loss of 2,4-D butyl ester degradation activity. Presumably, the gene which

269

degraded 2,4-D butyl ester to 2,4-D was located on the plasmid.

270

Antibiotic Sensitivity. The sensitivity of strain ZX02 and its cured bacterium

271

ZX021 to the eight test antibiotics was elucidated using paper disc diffusion. The

272

growth-inhibiting responses varied according to compound and concentration tested

273

(Table 2). At 30 μg/disc, strain ZX02 was susceptible to tetracycline and resistant to

274

amoxicillin, trimethoprim and chloramphenicol, while the cured ZX021 was

275

intermediate to amoxicillin, polymixin B sulfate, trimethoprim, and chloramphenicol.

276

These findings indicated that loss of the plasmid led to the loss of resistant to the

277

polymixin B sulfate, and the encoding gene of resistance to polymixin B sulfate may

278

be located on the plasmid.

279

■ DISCUSSION

280

An Acinetobacter sp., designated as strain ZX02, was isolated and identified as

281

2,4-D butyl ester degrading bacterium from a 2,4-D butyl ester contaminated Chinese

282

ginger cultivated soil. Strain ZX02 exhibited similarity with members of the A.

283

baumannii group and lied in same clade in the phylogenetic tree and taxonomical and

284

biochemical characterization. However, morphological character of A. baumannii and

285

the strain ZX02 were completely different; A. baumannii was a typically short, almost

286

round, and rod-shaped (coccobacillus), while the strain ZX02 was typically

287

long-shaped bacillus. A. baumannii strains have been reported to degrade various

288

chemicals, such as petroleum hydrocarbon of crude oil,

289

phenol,39 4-chloroaniline,40 and diclofop-methyl.41

37

waste car engine oil,38

290

A number of strains that could degrade 2,4-D had been reported, although 2,4-D

291

butyl ester degrading bacterial strains are rarely reported. For example, Cupriavidus

292

gilardii T-1 degraded 2,4-D 3.4 times faster than the model strain Cupriavidus necator 13



293

JMP134, and the degradation pathway of 2,4-D was as follows: 2,4-D underwent

294

decarboxymethyl group to form 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), 2,4-DCP was then

295

degraded to 3,5-dichlorocatechol (3,5-DCC) via a hydrolysis pathway; 3,5-DCC

296

followed by ortho-cleavage of the catechol ring to cis-2-dichlorodiene lactone (CDL),

297

and CDL formed presumably through hydrolysis reaction to chloromaleylacetic acid

298

(CMA); and CMA might participate in tricarboxylic acid cycle, and finally

299

mineralized 2,4-D.42 Mycobacterium sp. YC-RL4 and Camelimonas sp. were capable

300

of degrading phthalate acid esters.43,44

301

In the current study, strain ZX02 could grow well in 2,4-D butyl ester and might

302

utilize this compound as the sole carbon source for growth. This strain was capable of

303

totally degrading 2,4-D butyl ester into 2,4-D, although it could not degrade 2,4-D

304

further. Presumably, the gene which degraded 2,4-D butyl ester to 2,4-D was located

305

on the plasmid. It was able to utilize 2, 4-D butyl ester in a high concentration as a

306

sole carbon source, without the supplementation of other co-substrates. Strain ZX02

307

was potentially used in bioremediation because of its good growth rate and high

308

biodegradation efficiency toward 2,4-D butyl ester. 2,4-D butyl ester is an extremely

309

toxic compound to various fresh water and estuarine or marine species.45 Our findings,

310

along with previous studies, indicate that stain ZX02 and strain T-142 combination

311

could degrade 2,4-D butyl ester effectively and thoroughly.

312

Bacterial plasmids plays an important role in the degradation of exogenous

313

chemicals. A few of phenoxyacetic herbicides degrading bacteria were found to carry

314

plasmids encoding the gene because the degradation some phenoxyacetic herbicide

315

such as 2,4-D were identified on the plasmids.29,46 It is known that A. baumannii

316

harbors plasmids of different sizes, enabling researchers to identify strains by plasmid

317

content.47 Certain plasmids play an important role in the adaptation of natural 14


Page 14 of 41

Page 15 of 41


318

microbial populations to petroleum hydrocarbon of crude oil.48 Several bacteria which

319

were isolated from different soil samples from Estonian agricultural enterprises, were

320

all harbored 2,4-D-degradative plasmids (30–100 kb) containing tfd genes of 2,4-D

321

degradation.49,50 In the current study, strain ZX02 harbored a single plasmid of

322

approximately 23 kb in size and plasmid curing indicated the single plasmid of

323

approximately 23 kb was found to be responsible for carrying genes for 2,4-D butyl

324

ester degradation in the strain ZX02. Plasmid curing confirmed that the gene for 2,4-D

325

butyl ester in ZX02 was plasmid-borne. Qiu et al.26 studied the isolation of a methyl

326

parathion (MP)-degrading bacterium and localization of the responsible degrading

327

genes. They reported that Ochrobactrum sp. B2 harbors a plasmid encoding the ability

328

to degrade p-nitrophenol, whereas MP-hydrolyzing activity is encoded on the

329

bacterial chromosome. This strain could be used in future cell or plasmid-mediated

330

bioaugmentation tests (once its plasmid is isolated and characterized) with better

331

chances to survive in soil than exogenous bacteria.

332

A. baumannii can cause nosocomial infections such as pneumonia, septicaemia,

333

urinary tract infections and wound infections, and complicates the treatment of

334

nosocomial infections owing to its resistance to a wide range of antibiotics.51,52 The

335

sensitivity to eight antibiotics of strain ZX02 was detected. The strain ZX02 was

336

susceptible to tetracycline, resistant to amoxicillin, trimethoprim and chloramphenicol,

337

while the plasmid cured derivative ZX021 was intermediate to amoxicillin, polymixin

338

B sulfate, trimethoprim and chloramphenicol. Plasmid curing of strain ZX02 resulted

339

in the loss of resistant to polymixin B sulfate. This finding indicates that the gene of

340

resistant to antibiotics of polymixin B sulfate location is on the detected plasmid of

341

ZX02. Similar results were obtained by Higgins et al.53 who found that strain A.

342

baumannii resisitant to carbapenem of is encoded on a single plasmid of 15



343

approximately 30 kb. Resistance to amphotericin maybe the necessary condition of

344

survival in the soil contaminated by fungicides for the strain ZX02.
