Potential for and Distribution of Enzymatic Biodegradation of Polystyrene by Environmental Microorganisms
materials Communication Potential for and Distribution of Enzymatic Biodegradation of Polystyrene by Environmental Microorganisms Liyuan Hou and Erica L.-W. Majumder * Department of Chemistry, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +1-3154706854 Abstract: Polystyrene (PS) is one of the main polymer types of plastic wastes and is known to be resistant to biodegradation, resulting in PS waste persistence in the environment. Although previous studies have reported that some microorganisms can degrade PS, enzymes and mechanisms of microorganism PS biodegradation are still unknown. In this study, we summarized microbial species that have been identified to degrade PS. By screening the available genome information of microorganisms that have been reported to degrade PS for enzymes with functional potential to depolymerize PS, we predicted target PS-degrading enzymes. We found that cytochrome P4500s, alkane hydroxylases and monooxygenases ranked as the top potential enzyme classes that can degrade PS since they can break C–C bonds. Ring-hydroxylating dioxygenases may be able to break the side-chain of PS and oxidize the aromatic ring compounds generated from the decomposition of PS. These target enzymes were distributed in Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes, suggesting a broad potential for PS biodegradation in various earth environments and microbiomes. Our results provide insight into the enzymatic degradation of PS and suggestions for realizing the biodegradation of this recalcitrant plastic. Citation: Hou, L.; Majumder, E.L.

Pluralibacter Gergoviae Als Spender- Oder Empfängerorganismus Gemäß § 5 Absatz 1 Gentsv
Az. 45241.0205 Juni 2020 Empfehlung der ZKBS zur Risikobewertung von Pluralibacter gergoviae als Spender- oder Empfängerorganismus gemäß § 5 Absatz 1 GenTSV Allgemeines Pluralibacter gergoviae (früher: Enterobacter gergoviae [1]) ist ein Gram-negatives, fakultativ anaerobes, peritrich begeißeltes, stäbchenförmiges Bakterium aus der Familie der Enterobacteriaceae, das zuerst 1980 beschrieben wurde [2]. Es ist weltweit verbreitet und wurde aus klinischen Proben (Blut, Urin, Sputum, Stuhl, Hautabstriche, Ohrendrainage, nicht näher beschriebene Wunden, Abszesse, Lunge, Niere) sowie aus dem Darm eines Roten Baumwollkapselwurms, Wasserproben und Kosmetikprodukten isoliert [2–7]. Das Überleben in Kosmetikprodukten wird dadurch ermöglicht, dass P. gergoviae eine hohe Toleranz gegen Konservierungsmittel wie Benzoesäure und Parabenen aufweist [8]. Aufgrund dieser Toleranz ist P. gergoviae in der Vergangenheit mehrfach als mikrobielle Verunreinigung in Kosmetikprodukten aufgetreten, die daraufhin zurückgerufen werden mussten [9]. Im klinischen Kontext tritt P. gergoviae vergleichsweise selten als Krankheitserreger auf. Das Bakterium löst vor allem bei Immunkompromittierten Infektionen aus, die tödlich verlaufen können. Es verursachte Harnwegsinfektionen oder Infektionen der Operationswunde bei Empfängern von Nierentransplantaten [10], mehrere Sepsisfälle auf einer Neugeborenenstation, von denen die Mehrzahl Frühgeborene betrafen [3], und führte zu einem Septischen Schock bei einem Leukämie-Patienten [11]. Bei Immunkompetenten wurden eine Sepsis -

Isolation, characterization and genome sequencing of a soil-borne Citrobacter freundii strain capable of detoxifying trichothecene mycotoxins by Rafiqul Islam A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In Partial Fulfilment of Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Agriculture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Rafiqul Islam, April, 2012 ABSTRACT ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND GENOME SEQUENCING OF A SOIL- BORNE CITROBACTER FREUNDII STRAIN CAPABLE OF DETOXIFIYING TRICHOTHECENE MYCOTOXINS Rafiqul Islam Advisors: University of Guelph, 2012 Dr. K. Peter Pauls Dr. Ting Zhou Cereals are frequently contaminated with tricthothecene mycotoxins, like deoxynivalenol (DON, vomitoxin), which are toxic to humans, animals and plants. The goals of the research were to discover and characterize microbes capable of detoxifying DON under aerobic conditions and moderate temperatures. To identify microbes capable of detoxifying DON, five soil samples collected from Southern Ontario crop fields were tested for the ability to convert DON to a de-epoxidized derivative. One soil sample showed DON de-epoxidation activity under aerobic conditions at 22-24°C. To isolate the microbes responsible for DON detoxification (de-epoxidation) activity, the mixed culture was grown with antibiotics at 50ºC for 1.5 h and high concentrations of DON. The treatments resulted in the isolation of a pure DON de-epoxidating bacterial strain, ADS47, and phenotypic and molecular analyses identified the bacterium as Citrobacter freundii. The bacterium was also able to de-epoxidize and/or de-acetylate 10 other food-contaminating trichothecene mycotoxins. A fosmid genomic DNA library of strain ADS47 was prepared in E. coli and screened for DON detoxification activity. However, no library clone was found with DON detoxification activity. -

J Card Crit Care 2020;3:89–96 Abstract Bacterial infections are common causes of sepsis in the intensive care units. However, usually a finite number of Gram-negative bacteria cause sepsis (mostly according to the hospital flora). Some organisms such as Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus are relatively common. Others such as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Chryseobacterium indologenes, Shewanella putrefaciens, Ralstonia pickettii, Providencia, Morganella species, Nocardia, Elizabethkingia, Proteus, and Burkholderia are rare but of immense importance to public health, in view of the high mortality rates these are associated with. Being aware of these organisms, as the cause of hospital-acquired infections, helps in the prevention, Keywords treatment, and control of sepsis in the high-risk cardiac surgical patients including in ► uncommon pathogens heart transplants. Therefore, a basic understanding of when to suspect these organ- ► hospital-acquired isms is important for clinical diagnosis and initiating therapeutic options. This review infection discusses some rarely appearing pathogens in our intensive care unit with respect to ► cardiac surgical the spectrum of infections, and various antibiotics that were effective in managing intensive care unit these bacteria. -

We experienced a case of UTI sepsis by Providencia rettgeri in a patient with spinal cord injury. The patient had only high fever without urinary symptoms or signs after high dose intravenous methylprednisolone. The laboratory results showed leukocytosis (21,900/μL, segmented neutrophils 91.1%) and pyuria. Cefepime was given empirically and it was switched to oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole because P. rettgeri was identified from blood and urine culture which was susceptible to TMP-SMX. The patient was improved clinically but P. rettgeri was not eradicated microbiologically. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report on sepsis caused by Providencia rettgeri in Korea.

Ltd., Chinar Fortune City, Hoshangabad Rd., Madhya Pradesh, India Abstract Citrobacter braakii (C. braakii) is widespread in nature, mainly found in human urinary tract. The current study was attempted to investigate the effect of Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment on C. braakii in lyophilized as well as revived state for antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, biochemical characteristics, and biotype number. Lyophilized vial of ATCC strain of C. braakii was divided into two parts, Group (Gr.) I: control and Gr. II: treated. Gr. II was further subdivided into two parts, Gr. IIA and Gr. IIB. Gr. IIA was analysed on day 10 while Gr. IIB was stored and analysed on day 159 (Study I). After retreatment on day 159, the sample (Study II) was divided into three separate tubes. First, second and third tube was analysed on day 5, 10 and 15, respectively. All experimental parameters were studied using automated MicroScan Walk-Away® system. The 16S rDNA sequencing of lyophilized treated sample was carried out to correlate the phylogenetic relationship of C. -
