Dichloromethane (DCM) is a volatile halogenated hydrocarbon with teratogenic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. Biodegradation is generally regarded as an effective and economical approach of pollutant disposal. In this study, a novel strain was isolated and its cytochrome P450 was heterologously expressed for DCM degradation. The isolate, Microbacterium keratanolyticum ZY, was characterized as a Gram-positive, rod-shaped and flagella-existed bacterium without spores (GenBank No. SUB8814364; CCTCC M 2019953). After successive whole-genome sequencing, assembly and annotation, eight identified functional genes (encoding cytochrome P450, monooxygenase, dehalogenase and hydrolase) were successfully cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The recombinant strain expressing cytochrome P450 presented the highest degradation efficiency (90.6%). Moreover, the specific activity of the recombinant cytochrome P450 was more than 1.2 times that of the recombinant dehalogenase (from Methylobacterium rhodesianum H13) under their optimum conditions. The kinetics of DCM degradation by recombinant cytochrome P450 was well fitted with the Haldane model and the value of maximum specific degradation rate was determined to be 0.7 s⁻¹. The DCM degradation might occur through successive hydroxylation, dehydrohalogenation, dechlorination and oxidation to generate gem-halohydrin, formyl chloride, formaldehyde and formic acid. The study helps to comprehensively understand the DCM dechlorination process under the actions of bacterial functional enzymes (cytochrome P450 and dehalogenase).
