Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were typical environmental contaminants that accumulated continuously in sediment. Microbial degradation is the main way of PAH degradation in the natural environment. Therefore, expanding the available pool of microbial resources and investigating the molecular degrading mechanisms of PAHs are critical to the efficient control of PAH-polluted sites. Here, a strain (identified as Xanthobacteraceae bacterium) with the ability to degrade pyrene was screened from the rhizosphere sediment of Vallisneria natans. Response surface analysis showed that the strain could degrade pyrene at pH 5-7, NaCl addition 0-1.5%, and temperature 25-40 °C, and the maximum pyrene degradation (~ 95.4%) was obtained under the optimum conditions (pH 7.0, temperature 28.5 °C, and NaCl-free addition) after 72 h. Also, it was observed that the effect of temperature on the degradation ratio was the most significant. Furthermore, eighteen metabolites were identified by mass spectrometry, among which (2Z)-2-hydroxy-3-(4-oxo-4H-phenalen-3-yl) prop-2-enoic acid, 7-(carboxymethyl)-8-formyl-1-naphthyl acetic acid, phthalic acid, naphthalene-1,2-diol, and phenol were the main metabolites. And the degradation pathway of pyrene was proposed, suggesting that pyrene undergoes initial ortho-cleavage under the catalysis of metapyrocatechase to form (2Z)-2-hydroxy-3-(4-oxo-4H-phenalen-3-yl) prop-2-enoic acid. Subsequently, this intermediate was progressively oxidized and degraded to phthalic acid or phenol, which could enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Furthermore, the pyrene biodegradation by the strain followed the first-order kinetic model and the degradation rate changed from fast to slow, with the rate remaining mostly slow in the later stages. The slow biodegradation rate was probably caused by a significant amount of phenol accumulation in the initial stage of degradation, which resulted in a decrease in bacterial activity or death.

Abstract
Microorganisms that can simultaneously remediate organic pollutants and heavy metal contamination are great significance in bioremediation. Nevertheless, reports of such microorganisms are still scarce. Here, Pseudomonas sp. YH-1 and Rhodococcus sp. YH-3 were isolated and identified, and they showed greater tolerance to hexavalent (VI) (750 and 800 mg·L-1). The constructed bacteria consortium YH (YH-1:YH-3 = 1:1) could simultaneously degrade 41.69% of pyrene (50 mg·L-1) and remove 76.67% of Cr(VI) (30 mg·L-1) within 5 days. The potential mechanism of Cr(VI) tolerance of YH was further explored by genomic and microscopic analysis. The results showed that YH responded to Cr(VI) stress mainly through efflux of Cr(VI) by chrA and copZ, chromate reduction, DNA-repaired proteases reduces ROS damage, and biosorption by carboxyl, hydroxyl, amino functional groups. Strains YH-1 and YH-3 also contained a variety of genes associated with resistance to other heavy metals, such as cadmium (czcBD), mercury (merAPTR), manganese (mntABC) and copper (copAC, cusABRF and pcoBD). Based on GC-MS and genomic analysis, pyrene was degraded via salicylic acid and phthalic acid pathways. Moreover, a great number of genes related to aromatic hydrocarbon catabolism were identified in the genomes of YH-1 and YH-3. These results confirmed the potential application of the bacteria consortium YH in the bioremediation of water and soil co-contaminated with PAHs-heavy metals.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 223:112603. [PMID: 34371457 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.112603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as naphthalene (Nap) and phenanthrene (Phe) are organic pollutants of concern owing to their toxicity, carcinogenicity, and teratogenicity. Biodegradation is considered the most economical and efficient process to remediate Nap and Phe. The riparian zone between a river and a riparian aquifer, which is rich in indigenous microorganisms, may be important for PAH remediation. However, few studies have evaluated the ability of indigenous microorganisms to remove Nap and Phe. In this study, focusing on the typical PAHs (Nap and Phe) as target pollutants, the genus-level community structure of Nap- and Phe-degrading bacteria was identified. Batch static and dynamic biodegradation experiments were conducted to explore the biodegradation mechanisms of Nap and Phe in the riparian zone and identify the factors influencing Nap and Phe biodegradation in the binary system (i.e., where Nap and Phe are simultaneously present). According to the genus-level community structure test results, the dominant bacterial genus in the binary system was mainly the Phe-degrading bacteria. The Nap and Phe-biodegradation percentages were 19.20% lower and 19.49% higher, respectively, in the binary system than in the unitary system. The results indicated that functional bacteria can degrade Nap and Phe, and that Nap weakly promoted Phe biodegradation. Additionally, the initial Nap and Phe concentration ratio, hydraulic gradient, and temperature affected Nap and Phe biodegradation. Dynamic biodegradation experiments showed that the biodegradation percentage decreased as the hydraulic gradient increased, and biodegradation percentage of Phe was always higher than that of Nap. According to the results of the dynamic laboratory experiments, the removal percentages of Nap and Phe by indigenous riparian-zone microorganisms were 6.21-16.73% and 13.95-24.45%, respectively. The findings in this study will be useful for alleviation of Nap and Phe pollution in groundwater and will facilitate determination of appropriate treatment measures for groundwater exposed to this type of pollution.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are non-polar organic compounds that are omnipresent in the environment and released due to anthropogenic activities through emissions and discharges. PAHs, being xenobiotic and exerts health impacts, thus they attract serious concern by the environmentalists. The stringent regulations and the need of sustainable development urges the hunt for a technically feasible and cost-effective wastewater treatment. Although the conventional physico-chemical treatment are widely preferred, they cause secondary pollution problems and demand subsequent treatment options. This comprehensive review intends to address the (a) different PAHs and their associated toxicity, (b) the remedial strategies, particularly biodegradation. The biological wastewater treatment techniques that involve microbial systems are highly influenced by the different physio-chemical and environmental parameters. Therefore, suitable optimization techniques are prerequisite for effective functioning of the biological treatment that sustains judiciously and interpreted in a lesser time. Here we have aimed to discuss (a) different chemo-metric tools involved in the design of experiments (DoE), (b) design equations and models, (c) tools for evaluating the model's adequacy and (d) plots for graphically interpreting the chemo-metric designs. However, to best of our knowledge, this is a first review to discuss the PAHs biodegradation that are tailored by chemo-metric designs. The associated challenges, available opportunities and techno-economic aspects of PAHs degradation using chemo-metric engineering designs are explained. Additionally, the review highlights how well these DoE tools can be suited for the sustainable socio-industrial sectors. Concomitantly, the futuristic scope and prospects to undertake new areas of research exploration were emphasized to unravel the least explored chemo-metric designs.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are degraded by the highly efficient degrading bacterium Bacillus cereus. Transmembrane transport is highly important in PAH degradation by bacteria. Surfactants are the key substances that promote PAH adsorption, uptake and transmembrane transport by Bacillus cereus. In this study, the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) approach was used for high-throughput screening of key functional proteins during transmembrane fluoranthene transport by Bacillus cereus treated with Tween 20. In addition, SWISS-MODEL was used to simulate the tertiary structures of key transmembrane proteins and analyze how Tween 20 promotes transmembrane transport. Transmembrane fluoranthene transport into Bacillus cereus requires transmembrane proteins and energy. Tween 20 was observed to improve bacterial motility and transmembrane protein expression. The interior of representative transmembrane proteins is mostly composed of hydrophobic β-sheets while amphipathic α-helices are primarily distributed at their periphery. The primary reason for this configuration may be α-helices promote the aggregation of surfactants and the phospholipid bilayer and the β-sheets promote surfactant insertion into the phospholipid bilayer to enhance PAH transport into Bacillus cereus. Investigating the effect of Tween 20 on Bacillus cereus transmembrane proteins during transmembrane fluoranthene transport is important for understanding the mechanism of PAH degradation by microorganisms.

Abstract
Yeasts are the most predominant petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading fungi isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil. However, information of the transmembrane transport of petroleum hydrocarbon into yeast cells is limited. The present study was designed to explore the transmembrane transport mechanisms of the typical petroleum hydrocarbon n-hexadecane in Candida tropicalis cells with petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradation potential. Yeast cells were treated with n-hexadecane in different scenarios, and the percentage of intracellular n-hexadecane and transport dynamics were investigated accordingly. The intracellular concentration of n-hexadecane increased within 15 min, and transportation was inhibited by NaN3, an ATPase inhibitor. The uptake kinetics of n-hexadecane were well fitted by the Michaelis-Menten model, and Kt values ranged from 152.49 to 194.93 mg/L. All these findings indicated that n-hexadecane might cross the yeast cells in an energy-dependent manner and exhibit an affinity with the cell transport system. Moreover, the differentially expressed membrane proteins induced by n-hexadecane were identified and quantified by tandem mass tag labeling coupled with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The proteome analysis results demonstrated that energy production and conversion accounted for a large proportion of the functional classifications of the differentially expressed proteins, providing further evidence that sufficient energy supply is essential for transmembrane transport. Protein functional analysis also suggested that differentially expressed proteins associated with transmembrane transport processes are clearly enriched in endocytosis and phagosome pathways (p < 0.05), and the analysis supported the notion that the underlying transmembrane transport mechanism might be associated with endocytosis and phagosome pathways, revealing a new mechanism of n-hexadecane internalization by Candida tropicalis.

Abstract
Rhodococci are bacteria which can survive under various extreme conditions, in the presence of toxic compounds, and in other hostile habitats. Their tolerance of unfavorable conditions is associated with the structure of their cell wall and their large array of enzymes, which degrade or detoxify harmful compounds. Their physiological and biotechnological properties, together with tools for their genetic manipulation, enable us to apply them in biotransformations, biodegradation and bioremediation. Many such biotechnological applications cause stresses that positively or negatively affect their efficiency. Whereas numerous reviews on rhodococci described their enzyme activities, the optimization of degradation or production processes, and corresponding technological solutions, only a few reviews discussed some specific effects of stresses on the physiology of rhodococci and biotechnological processes. This review aims to comprehensively describe individual stress responses in Rhodococcus strains, the interconnection of different types of stresses and their consequences for cell physiology. We examine here the responses to (1) environmental stresses (desiccation, heat, cold, osmotic and pH stress), (2) the presence of stress-inducing compounds (metals, organic compounds and antibiotics) in the environment (3) starvation and (4) stresses encountered during biotechnological applications. Adaptations of the cell envelope, the formation of multicellular structures and stresses induced by the interactions of hosts with pathogenic rhodococci are also included. The roles of sigma factors of RNA polymerase in the global regulation of stress responses in rhodococci are described as well. Although the review covers a large number of stressful conditions, our intention was to provide an overview of the selected stress responses and their possible connection to biotechnological processes, not an exhaustive survey of the scientific literature. The findings on stress responses summarized in this review and the demonstration of gaps in current knowledge may motivate researchers working to fill these gaps.

Abstract
Based on previous studies that examined the whole proteome of Rhodococcus sp. BAP-1 during the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), transmembrane proteins have a large role in the degradation of fluoranthene. To further study the specific functions and mechanisms of transmembrane proteins from Rhodococcus sp. BAP-1 involved in the degradation process of fluoranthene, the degradation of PAHs and the membrane permeability were determined. In addition, the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantization (iTRAQ) method were used to conduct a proteomics analysis of Rhodococcus sp. BAP-1 after exposure to fluoranthene for 1 d, 3 d, and 6 d. The results showed that the degradation rate was the highest on the first and sixth days, and the membrane permeability was also the highest on the sixth day. The iTRAQ analysis results showed 18, 29, and 48 upregulated proteins and 111, 97, and 21 downregulated proteins in the 1 d group vs control group, 3 d group vs control group, and 6 d group vs control group samples respectively. According to a Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG) analysis, amino acid transport and metabolism are the most important functions. According to functional analysis from the gene ontology (GO) database, the oxidation-reduction process is the most important biological process; transporter activity is the main molecular function; and transmembrane proteins are the most important in the cell composition. This study combined the degradation rate, membrane permeability and transmembrane protein functions to analyze the functions and mechanisms of transmembrane proteins from Rhodococcus sp. BAP-1, which are involved in the degradation of fluoranthene at the protein level, and this study provides a solid foundation for further research on the metabolic processes of bacteria.

Abstract
Bacterial adhesion on surfaces is an essential initial step in promoting bacterial mobilization for soil bioremediation process. Modification of the cell surface is required to improve the adhesion of bacteria. The modification of physicochemical properties by rhamnolipid to Pseudomonas putida KT2442, Rhodococcus erythropolis 3586 and Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 16404 strains was analysed using contact angle measurements. The surface energy and total free energy of adhesion were calculated to predict the adhesion of both bacteria strains on the A. brasiliensis surface. The study of bacterial adhesion was carried out to evaluate experimental value with the theoretical results. Bacteria and fungi physicochemical properties were modified significantly when treated with rhamnolipid. The adhesion rate of P. putida improved by 16% with the addition of rhamnolipid (below 1 CMC), while the increase of rhamnolipid concentration beyond 1 CMC did not further enhance the bacterial adhesion. The addition of rhamnolipid did not affect the adhesion of R. erythropolis. A good relationship has been obtained in which water contact angle and surface energy of fungal surfaces are the major factors contributing to the bacterial adhesion. The adhesion is mainly driven by acid-base interaction. This finding provides insight to the role of physicochemical properties in controlling the bacterial adhesion on the fungal surface to enhance bacteria transport in soil bioremediation.

Abstract
In the present study, the integrated use of organic and inorganic amendments (CS–MD–CSP) including carbide slag (CS), calcium superphosphate (CSP) and mushroom dreg (MD) are employed for the stabilization of heavy metals in contaminated soils. A response surface methodology combined with immobilization efficiency was employed to evaluate and optimize the proportion of the integration amendments on the stabilization process. The results predicted by a Box–Behnken design indicated that the maximum immobilization efficiencies of soil Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd could be achieve up to 99.88, 96.11, 99.78 and 87.88%, respectively, when the dosage of CS, CSP and MD were set as 4, 1 and 6%, respectively. European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) speciation analysis indicated that the acid-soluble proportion of Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd in the soils decreased by 72.68, 37.03, 9.36 and 12.94%, respectively. Thus, this CS–MD–CSP integration amendment could potentially be used for the remediation of Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd in contaminated soils.

Abstract
To reveal the molecular mechanism at the level of regulation of proteins in Rhodococcus sp. BAP-1 induced by fluoranthene comparative proteomic analysis was performed on proteins extracted from fluoranthene-exposed cells on 1 d, 3 d, 6 d and 8 d compared with control cells using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantization (iTRAQ) labeling and LC-MS/MS analysis to access differentially expressed proteins. As a result, we detected a total of 897 significantly differentially expressed proteins, including 30 shared proteins in four comparison clusters. We were able to short-list 190, 329, 101 and 90 proteins that were over-represented, and 394, 234, 65 and 49 under-represented proteins, in 1d/control, 3d/control, 6d/control and 8d/control comparisons, respectively. Functional analysis relied on Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG), gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) revealed that fluoranthene significantly altered the expression of proteins involved in metabolic and biosynthesis processes. Furthermore, BAP-1 up-regulates aldehyde dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase, and oligopeptide transport ATP-binding protein, while down-regulates several other proteins in order to adapt to fluoranthene exposure. These findings provide important clues to reveal fluoranthene degradation mechanism in BAP-1 and promote its bioremediation applications.

Differences of cell surface characteristics between the bacterium Pseudomonas veronii and fungus Ophiostoma stenoceras and their different adsorption properties to hydrophobic organic compounds. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 650:2095-2106.

Abstract
The first step of microbial biodegradation is the adsorption of pollutants on the microorganisms' surface, which is determined by the microorganism type and pollutant hydrophobicity. One fungus Ophiostoma stenoceras LLC and one bacterium Pseudomonas veronii ZW were chosen for the investigation of cell surface hydrophobicity and adsorption abilities to various organic compounds. Results showed that the fungus could better capture and adsorb organic compounds in liquid and gas phases, and the adsorption was a physical monolayer adsorption process. Much smaller partition coefficient for gas-fungus suggested that direct gaseous adsorption was preferred. The XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) characterization further confirmed that several functional groups changed after the adsorption of compounds. The time taken for complete degradation of hexane, tetrahydrofuran and chlorobenzene was shorter with the addition of O. stenoceras LLC. Such findings are useful in exploring the special cell surface of fungus in adsorption and bioenhancement for organic treatment of organic contaminants using bacteria.

Abstract
High-salinity wastewater is often difficult to treat by common biological technologies due to salinity stress on the bacterial community. Electricity-assisted anaerobic technologies have significantly enhanced the treatment performance by alleviating the impact of salinity stress on the bacterial community, but electricity-assisted aerobic technologies have less been reported. Herein, a novel bio-electrochemistry system has been designed and operated in which a pair of stainless iron mesh-graphite plate electrodes were installed into a sequencing batch reactor (SBR, designated as S1) to strengthen the performance of saline petrochemical wastewater under aerobic conditions. The removal efficiency of phenol and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in S1 were 94.1 and 91.2%, respectively, on day 45, which was clearly higher than the removal efficiency of a single SBR (S2) and an electrochemical reactor (S3), indicating that a coupling effect existed between the electrochemical process and biodegradation. A certain amount of salinity (≤8000 mg/L) could enhance the treatment performance in S1 but weaken that in S2. Illumina sequencing revealed that microbial communities in S1 on days 45 and 91 were richer and more diverse than in S2, which suggests that electrical stimulation could enhance the diversity and richness of the microbial community, and reduce the negative effect of salinity on the microorganisms and enrich some salt-adapted microorganisms, thus improve the ability of S1 to respond to salinity stress. This novel bio-electrochemistry system was shown to be an alternative technology for the high saline petrochemical wastewater.

Abstract
Bioaccumulation of perylene in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was visualized and quantified in real time with high sensitivity at high temporal resolution. For the first time, single-molecule fluorescence microscopy (SMFM) with a microfluidic flow chamber and temperature control has enabled us to record the dynamic process of perylene bioaccumulation in single bacterial cells and examine the cell-to-cell heterogeneity. Although with identical genomes, individual E. coli cells exhibited a high degree of heterogeneity in perylene accumulation dynamics, as shown by the high coefficient of variation (C.V = 1.40). This remarkable heterogeneity was exhibited only in live E. coli cells. However, the bioaccumulation of perylene in live and dead S. aureus cells showed similar patterns with a low degree of heterogeneity (C.V = 0.36). We found that the efflux systems associated with Tol C played an essential role in perylene bioaccumulation in E. coli, which caused a significantly lower accumulation and a high cell-to-cell heterogeneity. In comparison with E. coli, the Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus lacked an efficient efflux system against perylene. Therefore, perylene bioaccumulation in S. aureus was simply a passive diffusion process across the cell membrane.

Abstract
This study assessed the biodegradation of mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by indigenous bacteria in river sediment. Microcosms were constructed from sediment from the Chao Phraya River (the main river in Thailand) by supplementation with high concentrations of fluorene, phenanthrene, pyrene (300 mg kg-1 of each PAH), and acenaphthene (600 mg kg-1). Fluorene and phenanthrene were completely degraded, whereas 50% of the pyrene and acenaphthene were removed at the end of the incubation period (70 days). Community analyses revealed the dynamics of the bacterial profiles in the PAH-degrading microcosms after PAH exposure. Actinobacteria predominated and became significantly more abundant in the microcosms after 14 days of incubation at room temperature under aerobic conditions. Furthermore, the remaining PAHs and alpha diversity were positively correlated. The sequencing of clone libraries of the PAH-RHDα genes also revealed that the dioxygenase genes of Mycobacterium sp. comprised 100% of the PAH-RHDα library at the end of the microcosm setup. Moreover, two PAH-degrading Actinobacteria (Arthrobacter sp. and Rhodococcus ruber) were isolated from the original sediment sample and showed high activity in the degradation of phenanthrene and fluorene in liquid cultivation. This study reveals that indigenous bacteria had the ability to degrade high concentrations of mixed PAHs and provide clear evidence that Actinobacteria may be potential candidates to play a major role in PAH degradation in the river sediment.

Abstract
Microbial degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is the primary process of removing PAHs from environments. The metabolic pathway of PAHs in pure cultures has been intensively studied, but cooperative metabolisms at community-level remained to be explored. In this study, we determined the dynamic composition of a microbial community and its metabolic intermediates during fluoranthene degradation using high-throughput metagenomics and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), respectively. Subsequently, a cooperative metabolic network for fluoranthene degradation was constructed. The network shows that Mycobacterium contributed the majority of ring-hydroxylating and -cleavage dioxygenases, while Diaphorobacter contributed most of the dehydrogenases. Hyphomicrobium, Agrobacterium, and Sphingopyxis contributed to genes encoding enzymes involved in downstream reactions of fluoranthene degradation. The contributions of various microbial groups were calculated with the PICRUSt program. The contributions of Hyphomicrobium to alcohol dehydrogenases were 62.4% in stage 1 (i.e., when fluoranthene was rapidly removed) and 76.8% in stage 3 (i.e., when fluoranthene was not detectable), respectively; the contribution of Pseudomonas were 6.6% in stage 1 and decreased to 1.2% in subsequent stages. To the best of the author's knowledge, this report describes the first cooperative metabolic network to predict the contributions of various microbial groups during PAH-degradation at community-level.

Abstract
Reducing phenanthrene (PHE) in the environment is critical to ecosystem and human health. Biodegradation, biosorption, and the trans-membrane transport mechanism of PHE by a novel strain, Massilia sp. WF1, and an extensively researched model fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium were investigated in aqueous solutions. Results showed that the PHE residual concentration decreased with incubation time and the data fitted well to a first-order kinetic equation, and the t1/2 of PHE degradation by WF1, spores, and mycelial pellets of P. chrysosporium were about 2 h, 87 days, and 87 days, respectively. The biosorbed PHE was higher in P. Chrysosporium than that in WF1, and it increased after microorganisms were inactivated and inhibited, especially in mycelial pellets. The detected intracellular auto-fluorescence of PHE by two-photon excitation microscopy also proved that PHE indeed entered into the cells. Based on regression, the intracellular (Kdin) and extracellular (Kdout) dissipation rate constants of PHE by WF1 were higher than those by spores and mycelial pellets. In addition, the transport rate constant of PHE from outside solution into cells (KinS/Vout) for WF1 were higher than the efflux rate constant of PHE from cells to outside solution (KoutS/Vin), while the opposite phenomena were observed for spores and mycelial pellets. The amount of PHE that transported from outside solution into cells was attributed to the rapid degradation and active PHE efflux in the cells of WF1 and P. Chrysosporium, respectively. Besides, the results under the inhibition treatments of 4°C, and the presence of sodium azide, colchicine, and cytochalasin B demonstrated that a passive trans-membrane transport mechanism was involved in PHE entering into the cells of WF1 and P. Chrysosporium.

Abstract
Hydrocarbons are relatively recalcitrant compounds and are classified as high-priority pollutants. However, these compounds are slowly degraded by a large variety of microorganisms. Bacteria are able to degrade aliphatic saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons via both aerobic and anaerobic pathways. Branched hydrocarbons and cyclic hydrocarbons are also degraded by bacteria. The aerobic bacteria use different types of oxygenases, including monooxygenase, cytochrome-dependent oxygenase and dioxygenase, to insert one or two atoms of oxygen into their targets. Anaerobic bacteria, on the other hand, employ a variety of simple organic and inorganic molecules, including sulphate, nitrate, carbonate and metals, for hydrocarbon oxidation.

Abstract
The pseudosolubilized medium-chain-length n-alkanes during biodegradation process, and optimization of medium composition and culture conditions for rhamnolipid production by Pseudomonas sp. DG17 using Plackett-Burman design and Box-Behnken design, were examined in this study. The results showed that pseudosolubilized concentration of C14 to C20 n-alkanes was higher than that of C24 to C26. After incubation for 120 h, pseudosolubilized C16H34 increased to 2.63 ± 0.21 mg. Meanwhile, biodegradation rates of n-alkanes decreased along with the increase of carbon chain length. Carbon-14 assay suggested that nonlabeled C14H30, C16H34, and C20H42 inhibited the biodegradation of (14)C n-octadecane, and Pseudomonas sp. DG17 utilized different alkanes simultaneously. Three significant variables (substrate concentration, salinity, and C/N) that could influence rhamnolipid production were screened by Plackett-Burman design. Results of Box-Behnken design suggested that rhamnolipid concentration could be achieved at 91.24 mg L(-1) (observed value) or 87.92 mg L(-1) (predicted value) with the optimal levels of concentration, salinity, and C/N of 400 mg L(-1), 1.5 %, and 45, respectively.
