In-situ active Bisphenol A-degrading microorganisms in mangrove sediments
2022
Bisphenol A (BPA), as both an endocrine disrupting compound and an important industrial material, is broadly distributed in coastal regions and may cause adverse effects on mangrove ecosystems. Although many BPA degraders have been isolated from various environments, the in-situ active BPA-degrading microorganisms in mangrove ecosystem are still unknown. In this study, DNA-based stable isotope probing in combination with high-throughput sequencing was adopted to pinpoint the microbes actually involved in BPA metabolism in mangrove sediments. Five bacterial genera were speculated to be associated with BPA degradation based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) analysis, including Truepera, Methylobacterium, Novosphingobium, Rhodococcus and Rhodobacter. The in-situ BPA degraders were different between mudflat and forest sediments. The Shannon index of microbes in heavy fractions was significantly lower than that in light fractions. Besides, phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt) demonstrated that the functional genes relevant to cytochrome P450, benzoate degradation, bisphenol degradation and citrate cycle were up-regulated significantly in in-situ BPA-degrading microbes. These findings greatly expanded the knowledge of indigenous BPA metabolic microorganisms in mangrove ecosystems.
