Diversity and distribution of 16S rRNA and phenol monooxygenase genes in the rhizosphere and endophytic bacteria isolated from PAH-contaminated sites

Abstract: This is the first investigation of the diversity and distribution of 16S rRNA and phenol monooxygenase (PHE) genes in endophytic and rhizosphere bacteria of plants at sites contaminated with different levels of PAHs. Ten PAHs at concentrations from 34.22 to 55.29 and 45.79 to 97.81 mg·kg−1 were measured in rhizosphere soils of Alopecurus aequalis Sobol and Oxalis corniculata L., respectively. The diversity of 16S rRNA and PHE genes in rhizosphere soils or plants changed with varying PAH pollution levels, as sh… Show more

“…Taking into consideration the limitations of DGGE fingerprinting of the 16S rDNA (Muyzer et al ), the technique is still of practical use to study microbial community structure and diversity (Hu et al , Peng et al ). Therefore we used culture‐dependent DGGE fingerprinting of the 16S rDNA (Edenborn and Sexstone ) to characterize the bacterial communities, CFUs, developed on agar plates representing all of the tested culture media.…”

“…Therefore, it is assumed that the initial pollution level of PAHs played an important role in the dissipation quantity of PAHs. In fact, PAH contamination level may play a decisive role in bacterial community structure by affecting the distribution, diversity, and levels of rhizosphere bacteria (Peng et al 2015), and this might also substantially affect the removal efficiency of PAHs. Other factors influencing the removal efficiency of PAHs might be the microbial community structure, soil environmental condition, plant species and the profile of PAHs.…”

“…Ambientes contaminados com fenol estão relacionados a uma maior expressão de genes da classe das monooxigenases, que desempenham papel importante na hidrolização catalítica de compostos aromáticos. Esses genes estão presentes nos micro-organismos rizosfericos e endofíticos e há evidências de transferência horizontal de genes de degradação entre esses grupos (WANG et al, 2007;PENG et al, 2015). Devido a versatilidade metabólica, os endofíticos podem ser uma boa alternativa para busca de biorremediadores, possuindo simultaneamente a capacidade de degradar tanto o fenol como os hidrocarbonetos, como no caso dos isolados 6F, 7F, 8F e 10F.…”
