Biodesulfurization Induces Reprogramming of Sulfur Metabolism in Rhodococcus qingshengii IGTS8: Proteomics and Untargeted Metabolomics

Abstract: For many decades, research on biodesulfurization of fossil fuels has persevered amid a complete lack of knowledge of sulfur metabolism and its regulation in fuel-biodesulfurizing bacteria, which has impeded the development of a commercially viable bioprocess. In addition, lack of understanding of biodesulfurization-associated metabolic and physiological adaptations prohibited the development of efficient biodesulfurizers.

“…Our results indicate that biomass concentration and desulfurization capability are largely affected by the choice of sulfur source. This observation is in line with the findings of Hirschler et al and Tanaka et al (4, 29), as they report that the CysK-dependent alternative route for cysteine biosynthesis seems to be preferred under sulfate starvation conditions (BDS), however it is likely operating as a secondary pathway when sulfate is supplemented as the sole sulfur source. According to the same study, protein levels of CβS and METB were slightly higher, but not significantly different between the DBT and inorganic sulfate cultures.…”

“…The latter is then oxidized to sulfide, H2O2, and formaldehyde by a methyl mercaptan oxidase (MMO) present in Rhodococcus strain IGTS8 (10). A direct sulfhydrylation pathway can follow to convert sulfide to L-homocysteine, in condensation with either Osuccinyl-L-homoserine (OSHS) or O-acetyl-L-homoserine (OAHS), through the catalytic action of MetZ (OSHS) or MetY (OAHS), thus serving as a precursor for sulfur-containing amino acid biosynthesis (4,11). A second pathway for methionine catabolism, validated for Gram-positive bacteria, involves the sequential formation of S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH), and then L-homocysteine (4,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”
