Effects of Dichloroethene Isomers on the Induction and Activity of Butane Monooxygenase in the Alkane-Oxidizing Bacterium “ Pseudomonas butanovora

Abstract: We examined cooxidation of three different dichloroethenes (1,1-DCE, 1,2-trans DCE, and 1,2-cis DCE) by butane monooxygenase (BMO) in the butane-utilizing bacterium "Pseudomonas butanovora." Different organic acids were tested as exogenous reductant sources for this process. In addition, we determined if DCEs could serve as surrogate inducers of BMO gene expression. Lactic acid supported greater rates of oxidation of the three DCEs than the other organic acids tested. The impacts of lactic acid-supported DCE o… Show more

“…Liquid cultures were grown and harvested as previously described (11). BMO activity was routinely measured using ethene-dependent ethene oxide production as described elsewhere (11). The specific activity of BMO in whole cells is routinely expressed in nmol ethene oxide · min Ϫ1 · mg protein Ϫ1 .…”

“…Induction of the alkane monooxygenase in P. butanovora is well studied. Alkane monooxygenase is not expressed during growth of P. butanovora on organic acids, but is induced during growth on C 2 -C 5 n-alkanes [137][138][139] and during the growth on alcohols and aldehydes that result from the oxidation of C 2 -C 9 n-alkanes [25,137,140,141]. The BMO structural genes are transcribed as a single polycistronic mRNA and the transcription of the cluster is controlled by a σ 54 promoter [131], identical to the consensus sequence of mmo genes in Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, Methylocystis sp.…”

“…The six structural genes cluster, Induction of the alkane monooxygenase in P. butanovora is well studied. Alkane monooxygenase is not expressed during growth of P. butanovora on organic acids, but is induced during growth on C 2 -C 5 n-alkanes [137][138][139] and during the growth on alcohols and aldehydes that result from the oxidation of C 2 -C 9 n-alkanes [25,137,140,141]. In a variety of other microorganisms short chain alkane monooxygenase enzymes were described to be induced during growth on alkanes, but not during growth on non-alkane substrates [62,66,137].…”
