Abstract
Halogenated compounds are one of the largest groups of environmental-hazardous chemicals. The removal of the halogen atom from the substrate is possible by the catalytic activity of a type of enzyme called dehalogenase. Hydrolytic dehalogenases are suggested to be a good biodegradation catalyst for halogenated compounds with potential bioremediation applications. Therefore, the identification of possible bacterial strains that produce dehalogenase is of great importance. Soil microorganisms that are regularly exposed to halogenated pesticides are a major source of hydrolytic dehalogenase. Their proper identification may be useful in the production of high-quality dehalogenase. DNA stable isotope probing (DNA-SIP) is quite a useful technique for the identification of active microorganisms that assimilate specific carbon substrates and nutrients. Metagenomics combined with a stable isotope probe (SIP) technique could therefore be used to detect bacterial dehalogenases in pesticides exposed agricultural soil.

Gaikwad P, Joshi S, Mandlecha A, RaviKumar A. Phylogenomic and biochemical analysis reassesses temperate marine yeast Yarrowia lipolytica NCIM 3590 to be Yarrowia bubula. Sci Rep 2021; 11:5487.

Abstract
Yarrowia clade contains yeast species morphologically, ecologically, physiologically and genetically diverse in nature. Yarrowia lipolytica NCIM 3590 (NCIM 3590), a biotechnologically important strain, isolated from Scottish sea waters was reinvestigated for its phenotypic, biochemical, molecular and genomic properties as it exhibited characteristics unlike Y. lipolytica, namely, absence of extracellular lipolytic activity, growth at lower temperatures (less than 20 °C) and in high salt concentrations (10% NaCl). Molecular identification using ITS and D1/D2 sequences suggested NCIM 3590 to be 100% identical with reference strain Yarrowia bubula CBS 12934 rather than Y. lipolytica CBS 6124 (87% identity) while phylogenetic analysis revealed that it clustered with Y. bubula under a separate clade. Further, whole genome sequencing of NCIM 3590 was performed using Illumina NextSeq technology and the draft reported here. The overall genome relatedness values obtained by dDDH (94.1%), ANIb/ANIm (99.41/99.42%) and OrthoANI (99.47%) indicated proximity between NCIM 3590 and CBS 12934 as compared to the reference strain Y. lipolytica. No extracellular lipase activity could be detected in NCIM 3590 while LIP2 gene TBLASTN analysis suggests a low 42% identity with e value 2 e−77 and 62% coverage. Hence molecular, phylogenetic, genomics, biochemical and microbial analyses suggests it belongs to Yarrowia bubula.

Abstract
Yarrowia lipolytica is characterized by GRAS (Generally regarded as safe) status, the versatile substrate utilization profile, rapid utilization rates, metabolic diversity and flexibility, the unique abilities to tolerate to extreme environments (acidic, alkaline, hypersaline, heavy metal-pollutions and others) and elevated biosynthesis and secreting capacities. These advantages of Y. lipolytica allow us to consider it as having great ecological significance. Unfortunately, there is still a paucity of relevant review data. This mini-review highlights ecological ubiquity of Y. lipolytica species, their ability to diversify and colonize specialized niches. Different Y. lipolytica strains, native and engineered, are beneficial in degrading many environmental pollutants causing serious ecological problems worldwide. In agriculture has a potential to be a bio-control agent by stimulating plant defense response, and an eco-friendly bio-fertilizer. Engineered strains of Y. lipolytica have become a very promising platform for eco-friendly production of biofuel, commodities, chemicals and secondary metabolites of plant origin, obtaining which by other method were limited or economically infeasible, or were accompanied by stringent environmental problems. Perspectives to use potential of Y. lipolytica's capacities for industrial scale production of valuable compounds in an eco-friendly manner are proposed.

Candida tropicalis as a Promising Oleaginous Yeast for Olive Mill Wastewater Bioconversion. ENERGIES 2021.

Abstract
Olive mill wastewater (OMW), which is generated during olive oil production, has detrimental effects on the environment due to its high organic load and phenolic compounds content. OMW is difficult to biodegrade, but represents a valuable resource of nutrients for microbial growth. In this study, yeast strains were screened for their growth on phenolic compounds usually found in OMW and responsible for antimicrobial effects. Candida tropicalis ATCC 750 demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to grow in phenolics and was chosen for further experiments with OMW-based medium. The effects of nitrogen supplementation, the pH, and the stirring rate on cellular growth, OMW-components consumption, and added-value compounds production were studied in batch cultures in Erlenmeyer flasks and in a bioreactor. Candida tropicalis was able to reduce 68% of the organic load (chemical oxygen demand) and 39% of the total phenols of OMW in optimized conditions in bioreactor experiments, producing lipase (203 U·L−1) and protease (1105 U·L−1). Moreover, intracellular lipids were accumulated, most significantly under nitrogen-limited conditions, which is common in this type of wastewater. The high potential of C. tropicalis to detoxify OMW and produce added-value compounds from it makes this process an alternative approach to other conventional processes of OMW treatment.

Abstract
The variety of halogenated substances and their derivatives widely used as pesticides, herbicides and other industrial products is of great concern due to the hazardous nature of these compounds owing to their toxicity, and persistent environmental pollution. Therefore, from the viewpoint of environmental technology, the need for environmentally relevant enzymes involved in biodegradation of these pollutants has received a great boost. One result of this great deal of attention has been the identification of environmentally relevant bacteria that produce hydrolytic dehalogenases—key enzymes which are considered cost-effective and eco-friendly in the removal and detoxification of these pollutants. These group of enzymes catalyzing the cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond of organohalogen compounds have potential applications in the chemical industry and bioremediation. The dehalogenases make use of fundamentally different strategies with a common mechanism to cleave carbon-halogen bonds whereby, an active-site carboxylate group attacks the substrate C atom bound to the halogen atom to form an ester intermediate and a halide ion with subsequent hydrolysis of the intermediate. Structurally, these dehalogenases have been characterized and shown to use substitution mechanisms that proceed via a covalent aspartyl intermediate. More so, the widest dehalogenation spectrum of electron acceptors tested with bacterial strains which could dehalogenate recalcitrant organohalides has further proven the versatility of bacterial dehalogenators to be considered when determining the fate of halogenated organics at contaminated sites. In this review, the general features of most widely studied bacterial dehalogenases, their structural properties, basis of the degradation of organohalides and their derivatives and how they have been improved for various applications is discussed.

Bendigiri C, Zinjarde S, RaviKumar A. Ylehd, an epoxide hydrolase with promiscuous haloalkane dehalogenase activity from tropical marine yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is induced upon xenobiotic stress. Sci Rep 2017; 7:11887. [PMID: 28928379 PMCID: PMC5605520 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-12284-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2017] [Accepted: 09/01/2017] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Recalcitrant environmental pollutants, like bromoorganics and epoxides are hydrolysed with limited substrate specificities by microbial oxygenases, reductases, hydrolases and dehalogenases. Here, we report the identification and characterisation of a protein (XP_504164) from the tropical marine yeast Yarrowia lipolytica NCIM 3589, known to degrade bromoorganics and epoxides. Multiple sequence alignment suggests it belongs to α/β superfamily with conservation of catalytic triad and oxyanion hole motifs. The corresponding gene cloned and protein (Ylehd) expressed in E. coli BL21AI exhibited epoxide hydrolase activity (24 ± 0.7 nmol s−1 mg−1 protein) at pH 8.0 and promiscuous haloalkane dehalogenase (1.5 ± 0.2 nmol s−1 mg−1 protein) at pH 4.5. Recombinant Ylehd catalyses structurally diverse epoxides and bromoorganics with maximum catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of 96.56 and 10.1 mM−1 s−1 towards 1,2-Epoxyoctane (EO) and 1-Bromodecane (BD). The expression of Ylehd was highly induced in presence of BD and EO but not in glucose grown cells as studied by immunoblot analyses, q-PCR and activity levels. Immunoelectron microscopy confirmed higher expression in presence of xenobiotics and located it to cytosol. Such inducible nature of Ylehd suggests its physiological role in xenobiotic stress mitigation. This study represents the first functional characterisation of a bifunctional EH/HLD in eukaryotic microbes with broad substrate specificity making it a potential biocatalyst for bioremediation/biosensing of mixed pollutants.
