Abstract

Bacterial consortia are among the most basic units in the biodegradation of environmental pollutants. Pollutant-degrading strains frequently encounter different types of environmental stresses and must be able to survive with other bacteria present in the polluted environments. In this study, we proposed a noncontact interaction mode between a tetrahydrofuran (THF)-degrading strain, Rhodococcus ruber YYL, and a non-THF-degrading strain, Bacillus cereus MLY1. The metabolic interaction mechanism between strains YYL and MLY1 was explored through physiological and molecular studies and was further supported by the metabolic response profile of strain YYL, both monocultured and cocultured with strain MLY1 at the optimal pH (pH 8.3) and under pH stress (pH 7.0), through a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomic analysis. The results suggested that the coculture system resists pH stress in three ways: (i) strain MLY1 utilized acid metabolites and impacted the proportion of glutamine, resulting in an elevated intracellular pH of the system; (ii) strain MLY1 had the ability to degrade intermediates, thus alleviating the product inhibition of strain YYL; and (iii) strain MLY1 produced some essential micronutrients for s...Continue Reading
