Aerobic biotransformation of 3-methylindole to ring cleavage products by Cupriavidus sp. strain KK10

Abstract: 3-Methylindole, also referred to as skatole, is a pollutant of environmental concern due to its persistence, mobility and potential health impacts. Petroleum refining, intensive livestock production and application of biosolids to agricultural lands result in releases of 3-methylindole to the environment. Even so, little is known about the aerobic biodegradation of 3-methylindole and comprehensive biotransformation pathways have not been established. Using glycerol as feedstock, the soil bacterium Cupriavidus … Show more

“…Aerobic biodegradation and comprehensive biotransformation mechanisms of 3MI revealed in a soil bacterium Cupriavidus sp . Strain KK10 which biodegraded 100 mg/L of 3MI in 24 hours [9]. Compared with the above species, our strains NTA1-2A and TAT1-6A exhibited rapid degradation efficiency at concentrations ranging from 65–200 mg/L within the first 6 days (Figs 7 and 8).…”

“…In the last two decades, many pollutant-degrading microbes have been isolated from the environments, including strains capable of heterotrophic ammonia removal [28] and degradation of long-chain hydrocarbons [17] and aromatic compounds such as phenol and chlorophenol [1921]. Because 3-methylindole is hazardous to the environment and human and animal welfare, and is difficult to degrade in nature, numerous studies have isolated and evaluated bacterial strains capable of degrading 3MI from different environments [9, 1316, 2831]. Our paper is the first report that the genus Acinetobacter isolated from chicken manure is capable of degrading 3MI.…”

“…27 However, few studies in the literature have focused on the biotransformation of isatin derivatives by whole cells. 28 The structure of the substrate is a determining factor for the stereochemical course of bioreduction reactions. 29 The choice of structures was made in order to verify the influence of the relative steric volumes of the alkoxy groups of 2-oxoglutarate, compared with isatin 1 and ethyl pyruvate (2).…”
