Candida pseudoglaebosaandKodamaea ohmeriare capable of degrading alkanes in the presence of heavy metals

Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine four strains of two yeast species in relation to their capability for assimilating alkanes in the presence of heavy metals (HMs). The four strains tested were Candida pseudoglaebosa ENCB-7 and Kodamaea ohmeri ENCB-8R, ENCB-23, and ENCB-VIK. Determination was made of the expression of CYP52 genes involved in alkane hydroxylation. When exposed to Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ , and As 3+ at pH 3 and 5, all four strains could assimilate several n-alkanes having at least six ca… Show more

“…However, the presence of a reduced number of CYP52 paralogs in M. guilliermonii represents a particular phenomenon where the number of CYP52 cytochromes and the number of hydrophobic substrates that this yeast can utilize are not correlated. Similar to M. guilliermondii, K. ohmeri displays a broad hydrocarbonoclastic phenotype, but its CYP52 content is very reduced 20 . Therefore, in M. guilliermondii and other yeasts with few CYP52 enzymes, CYP52 duplication was apparently not necessary in their adaptation to hydrocarbon-rich environments.…”

“…Hydrocarbon and fatty acid assimilation assays. The assays were performed in liquid mineral medium in 96-well plates according to a previously described protocol 20 . In brief, the C4-C10 n-alkanes and branched alkanes were tested in the vapor phase, while fatty acids and n-hexadecane were added to the liquid phase at a 1% final concentration.…”
