Abstract
The sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfatiglans anilini can grow with phenol as sole source of carbon and energy under strictly anaerobic, sulfate-reducing conditions. In the nitrate-reducing bacterium Thauera aromatica, the enzymes involved in phenol degradation have been well elucidated, whereas the anaerobic phenol degradation pathway by D. anilini was not studied in detail yet. The pathway of anaerobic phenol degradation by the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfatiglans anilini was studied by identification of genes coding for phenylphosphate synthase (encoded by pps genes) and phenylphosphate carboxylase (encoded by ppc genes) in the genome of D. anilini, by analysis of the transcription and translation of pps-ppc genes, and by measurement of phenylphosphate synthase activity in cell-free extracts of phenol-grown cells. The majority of genes involved in phenol degradation were found to be organized in one gene cluster. The gene cluster contained genes ppsα (phenylphosphate synthase alpha subunit), ppsβ (phenylphosphate synthase beta subunit), ppcβ (phenylphosphate carboxylase beta subunit), as well as 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA ligase and 4-hydroxylbenzoyl-CoA reductase-encoding genes. The genes ppsγ (phenylphosphate synthase gamma...Continue Reading
