ABSTRACT
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), notably benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), are environmental contaminants with multiple adverse ecological implications. Numerous studies have suggested the use of BaP biodegradation using various bacterial strains to remove BaP from the environment. This study investigates the BaP biodegradation capability of Pigmentiphaga kullae strain KIT-003, isolated from the Nak-dong River (South Korea) under specific environmental conditions. The optimum conditions of biodegradation were found to be pH 7.0, 35°C, and a salinity of 0â¯%. GC-MS analysis suggested alternative pathways by which KIT-003 produced catechol from BaP through several intermediate metabolites, including 4-formylchrysene-5-carboxylic acid, 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxychrysene-5-carboxylic acid (isomer 3,4-dihydro-3,4-dihydroxychrysene-4-carboxylic acid), naphthalene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid. Proteomic profiles indicated upregulation of enzymes associated with aromatic compound degradation, such as nahAc and nahB, and of those integral to the tricarboxylic acid cycle, reflecting the strain's adaptability to and degradation of BaP. Lipidomic analysis of KIT-003 demonstrated that BaP exposure induced an accumulation of glycerolipids such as diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol, indicating their crucial role in bacterial adaptation mechanisms under BaP stress. This study provides significant scientific knowledge regarding the intricate mechanisms involved in BaP degradation by microorganisms.
