Comparative genome analysis reveals genetic adaptation to versatile environmental conditions and importance of biofilm lifestyle in Comamonas testosteroni

Abstract: Comamonas testosteroni is an important environmental bacterium capable of degrading a variety of toxic aromatic pollutants and has been demonstrated to be a promising biocatalyst for environmental decontamination. This organism is often found to be among the primary surface colonizers in various natural and engineered ecosystems, suggesting an extraordinary capability of this organism in environmental adaptation and biofilm formation. The goal of this study was to gain genetic insights into the adaption of C. … Show more

“…Comamonas testosteroni (C. testosteroni) is a Gram-negative bacterium that was found to be enriched in the anode community in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) inoculated with domestic wastewater or anaerobic sludge [8][9][10][11][12][13]. The "outward" EET capability, i.e., flow of electrons toward the electrode, of C. testosteroni has been implied by previous studies in which the bacterium was used as a pure culture inoculum in MFC anode [14].…”

“…Interestingly, many Comamonas strains have been found to harbor plasmids, most of which have been confirmed to be related to the catabolism of xenobiotic aromatics (4,(6)(7)(8). For example, the plasmid pI2, responsible for the degradation of aniline/3-chloroaniline, was isolated from Comamonas testosteroni I2 (4,9,10). Another transferable plasmid, pTB30, which is involved in the mineralization of 3-chloroaniline, was isolated from C. testosteroni TB30 (9,11).…”

“…C. testosteroni WDL7 originally was isolated from herbicide-treated soil and is capable of mineralizing 3-CA (46). Based on the induced expression of catabolic enzymes, WDL7 degraded 3-CA through the orthocleavage pathway, which is in contrast to the metacleavage pathway employed by other strains, such as C. testosteroni I2 (42). In addition, two exopolysaccharide biosynthesis genes and six exopolysaccharide export genes were found to be significantly downregulated in cells exposed to 3-CA (see Table S3).…”

“…In previous genomic analysis, C. testosteroni strains were found to harbor a high number of putative c-di-GMP controlling enzymes, many of which contained a sensor domain (42). c-di-GMP is one of the most important signaling molecules in biofilm regulatory networks that coordinate biofilm formation and detachment (43).…”
