“…Since no endophytic bacteria capable of transformation/degradation of BP3 have been reported to date, no research on bacteria-associated phytoremediation of BP3 are available. However, the isolation of Sphingomonas wittichii strain BP14P from WWTP sludge utilizing BP3 as the sole energy and carbon source and completely degrading it within seven days gives hope for the future [82]. Similarly, bacteria capable of 17β-estradiol, estrone, and estriol degradation have been isolated from various environmental systems, such as wastewater, compost, constructed wetlands, and activated sludge, but not from plant tissues.…”

Anthropogenic activities generate a high quantity of organic pollutants, which have an impact on human health and cause adverse environmental effects. Monitoring of many hazardous contaminations is subject to legal regulations, but some substances such as therapeutic agents, personal care products, hormones, and derivatives of common organic compounds are currently not included in these regulations. Classical methods of removal of organic pollutants involve economically challenging processes. In this regard, remediation with biological agents can be an alternative. For in situ decontamination, the plant-based approach called phytoremediation can be used. However, the main disadvantages of this method are the limited accumulation capacity of plants, sensitivity to the action of high concentrations of hazardous pollutants, and no possibility of using pollutants for growth. To overcome these drawbacks and additionally increase the efficiency of the process, an integrated technology of bacteria-assisted phytoremediation is being used recently. For the system to work, it is necessary to properly select partners, especially endophytes for specific plants, based on the knowledge of their metabolic abilities and plant colonization capacity. The best approach that allows broad recognition of all relationships occurring in a complex community of endophytic bacteria and its variability under the influence of various factors can be obtained using culture-independent techniques. However, for practical application, culture-based techniques have priority.

“…Currently, only two other bacterial strains, Methylophilus sp. Strain FP-6 [10] and Sphingomonas wittichii strain BP14P [11], have been reported capable of degrading BP3. The phylogenetic characterisation of these strains was, however, solely based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, and their genetic makeup was not investigated.…”

Benzophenone-3 (BP3) is an organic UV filter whose presence in the aquatic environment has been linked to detrimental developmental impacts in aquatic organisms such as coral and fish. The genus Rhodococcus has been extensively studied and is known for possessing large genomes housing genes for biodegradation of a wide range of compounds, including aromatic carbons. Here, we present the genome sequence of Rhodococcus sp. USK10, which was isolated from Chinese riverbank sediment and is capable of utilising BP3 as the sole carbon source, resulting in full BP3 mineralisation. The genome consisted of 9,870,030 bp in 3 replicons, a G+C content of 67.2%, and 9722 coding DNA sequences (CDSs). Annotation of the genome revealed that 179 of these CDSs are involved in the metabolism of aromatic carbons. The complete genome of Rhodococcus sp. USK10 is the first complete, annotated genome sequence of a Benzophenone-3-degrading bacterium. Through radiolabelling, it is also the first bacterium proven to mineralise Benzophenone-3. Due to the widespread environmental prevalence of Benzophenone-3, coupled with its adverse impact on aquatic organisms, this characterisation provides an integral first step in better understanding the environmentally relevant degradation pathway of the commonly used UV filter. Given USK10′s ability to completely mineralise Benzophenone-3, it could prove to be a suitable candidate for bioremediation application.
