Isolation and characterization of solvent-tolerant Pseudomonas putida strain T-57, and its application to biotransformation of toluene to cresol in a two-phase (organic-aqueous) system
Tóm tắt
Pseudomonas putida T-57 was isolated from an activated sludge sample after enrichment on mineral salts basal medium with toluene as a sole source of carbon. P. putida T-57 utilizes n-butanol, toluene, styrene, m-xylene, ethylbenzene, n-hexane, and propylbenzene as growth substrates. The strain was able to grow on toluene when liquid toluene was added to mineral salts basal medium at 10–90% (v/v), and was tolerant to organic solvents whose log P
ow (1-octanol/water partition coefficient) was higher than 2.5. Enzymatic and genetic analysis revealed that P. putida T-57 used the toluene dioxygenase pathway to catabolize toluene. A cis-toluene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase gene (todD) mutant of T-57 was constructed using a gene replacement technique. The todD mutant accumulated o-cresol (maximum 1.7 g/L in the aqueous phase) when cultivated in minimal salts basal medium supplemented with 3% (v/v) toluene and 7% (v/v) 1-octanol. Thus, T-57 is thought to be a good candidate host strain for bioconversion of hydrophobic substrates in two-phase (organic-aqueous) systems.
