Phylogenetic Analysis of Phenanthrene-Degrading Sphingomonas

  • Published : 2003.12.01

Abstract

Soil samples were obtained from 5 sites contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These soil samples were cultured in using phenanthrene as a sole carbon and energy source, and 36 strains of phenanthrene-degrading bacteria were isolated from 3 sites. Most of them degraded 500 ppm of phenanthrene within 8 to 10 days, and these isolates could degrade a few other PAHs other than phenanthrene. Their genotypes were determined by restriction digests of the l6S rRNA genes [amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA)]. It was found that all the phenanthrene degrading isolates were included in 4 ARDRA types, and they showed a strict site endemism. l6S rDNAs of 12 strains selected from different sites were sequenced, and they were all confirmed as Sphingomonas strains. Their l6S rDNA sequences were compared for phylogenetic analysis; their sequence showed a similar result to ARDRA typing, thus indicating that these heterotrophic soil bacteria are not regionally mixed. In addition, it was found that the microbial diversity among sampling sites could be monitored by l6S rDNA PCR-RFLP pattern alone, which is simpler and easier to perform, without l6S rDNA sequence analysis.
