Kinetics and effects of trace elements and electron complexes on 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyric acid-dependent biosynthesis of ethylene in soil.

Abstract:

AIMS:2-Keto-4-methylthiobutyric acid (KMBA) is an established intermediate in microbial biosynthesis of ethylene from methionine. This study demonstrates the kinetics and effects of trace elements and electron complexes on substrate (KMBA)-derived C2H4 biosynthesis in soil. METHODS AND RESULTS:We have previously reported KMBA-dependent C2H4 production in soil. We studied the kinetics and effects of various trace elements and electron complexes on KMBA-derived C2H4 biosynthesis in soil by gas chromatography. Kinetic analysis revealed that ethylene forming enzyme (EFE) reaction was linear (R2 = 0.9448) when velocity of reaction (V) was plotted against substrate [S] over the range from 2.5 to 10 mmol l(-1) and thus followed a first order reaction. Application of three linear transformations of the Michaelis-Menten equation indicated high affinity of EFE for the substrate because Km values ranged between 5.4 and 6.67 mmol l(-1) and Vmax of reaction was between 22.4 and 35.7 nmol kg(-1) soil 120 cm(-1). Most of the trace elements exhibited positive effects on KMBA-dependent C2H4 production in soil. Maximum stimulatory effect on C2H4 biosynthesis was observed in response to Co(II) application, while Fe(III) inhibited the biotransformation of KMBA into C2H4. Contrarily, most of the tested electron complexes inhibited KMBA-derived C2H4 biosynthesis in the soil. However, lower concentrations (1.0 mmol l(-1)) of mannitol and hydroquinone were stimulatory to C2H4 production in soil compared with controls (substrate only). CONCLUSIONS:The results revealed that both kind and concentration of trace elements and electron complexes affected the substrate-dependent production of C2H4 in soil with different degrees of efficacy. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY:The C2H4 in the root environment could be physiologically active even at low concentrations, so knowledge regarding various factors which regulate C2H4 biosynthesis in soil could be of significance for plant growth and development.
