Abstract：
:A polyaromatic hydrocarbon degrading bacterium was isolated from a petroleum contaminated site and designated as Stenotrophomonas sp. strain IITR87. It was found to utilize pyrene, phenanthrene and benzo(a)pyrene as sole carbon source, but not anthracene, chrysene and fluoranthene. Gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy analysis resulted in identification of pyrene metabolites namely monohydroxypyrene, 4-oxa-pyrene-5-one, dimethoxypyrene and monohydroxyphenanthrene. Southern hybridization using naphthalene dioxygenase gene (nidA) as probe against the DNA of strain IITR87 revealed the presence of nidA gene. PCR analysis suggests dispersed occurrence of nid genes in the genome instead of a cluster as reported in a PAH-degrading Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1. The nid genes in strain IITR87, dioxygenase large subunit (nidA), naphthalene dioxygenase small subunit (nidB) and aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (nidD) showed more than 97 % identity to the reported nid genes from Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1. Most significantly, the biodegradation of PAHs was enhanced 25-60 % in the presence of surfactants rhamnolipid and Triton X-100 due to increased solubilization and bioavailability. These results could be useful for the improved biodegradation of high-molecular-weight PAHs in contaminated habitats.
